It currently has a very reliable 1.8 L 103hp motor as known as Patches. (Yea, we name every thing here.) Patches has a storied beginning. Its a relatively stock 1.8L motor with a hot street cam and Webbers that puts out 103 HP, that was built in 2002. It was first used as an SCCA student race motor by the builder of this motor. Before the race weekend the motor was tested and it was ready for the races in another 914. It ran its first sprint race, one of six that weekend, without a problem. In the second race on the second to the last lap the 914 started smoking. It took first place in class as it crossed the line. We noticed oil on the headers, but no leak from the bottom. When we popped the hood we noticed a socket laying in the engine compartment and a small chunk of the engine block. Looked like someone forgot to remove the socket from the last connecting rod bolt. We immediately dropped the oil pan, found some small aluminum chips but nothing major. We got so lucky, the chunk that came out of the top of the block was one piece that fit right back on it. We just needed a way to seal it and keep it on. Being at the track we had limited time and resources. We fabricated a sheet metal cap that bolted to the top and with some JB Weld to seal it we were ready for the last race of the day. The car ran great and we took first again. Everything looked good so we dropped the pan to make sure it was ok. No leaks, no chips, now what do we do for tomorrow? Since it worked well we decided to refine what we did and prayed that it would work for the last three races. It did and we took first all day. When it got back to the shop, it was totally taken apart and thoroughly inspected. Again we got lucky, only minor bruising in the case and that's it. Since we didn't have an extra block hanging around, we cleaned it, put in all new bearings and rebuilt it. Since our cap idea worked so well we decided stay with it. And work well it did. Three more first places the next race week end and about 3000 street miles later in other hot 914s. Now its in Gumby and ready to go race again. The last 2 pictures. are from back in the day (1990 ). This is the perfect car to race in a lot of sanctioning bodies and offers you a variety of options in a great package. If you have any questions feel free to call This car is not street legal. This vehicle is being sold with a bill of sale only and is being sold as is. Thank you for looking |

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
Porsche to offer next-gen 911 GT3 with a manual
Mon, Nov 2 2015Porsche may have offended some of the purists among its customer base when it rolled out the current 911 GT3 with only a dual-clutch transmission. But according to Car and Driver, the next GT3 will get a stick again. The development comes as the good folks at Zuffenhausen (and Weissach) attempt to balance the instant-shifting benefits of a DCT with the direct involvement of a conventional manual transmission. On the one hand, Porsche introduced a new seven-speed manual with the 991-generation model. On the other, it didn't offer that manual (or any manual for that matter) on the GT3 or even the more hardcore GT3 RS. In response to customer demand for a more back-to-basics approach, Porsche is preparing to introduce a new variant expected to be called the 911 R, with a manual, no turbos, and skinnier tires for a more linear driving experience. And the Cayman GT4 was launched only with a manual instead of a DCT. "The GT3 is full of systems that make sense on the track, but for the purist, there may be something lost," Porsche GT chief Andreas Preuninger told C/D. "It is our long-term goal to have the customer decide between the two approaches." In addition to the DCT, the current GT3 also features a four-wheel steering system. The shift (so to speak) back to a manual option in the next GT3 will undoubtedly come as a welcome development for those purists offended by the DCT-only option – to say nothing of Porsche's movement towards SUVs, diesels, and hybrids. That manual option may not, however, offer all seven forward cogs available in the stick-shift Carrera. One way or another, though, we don't doubt that most customers would still go for the dual-clutch option over the single on they can actuate themselves. Related Video:
