Indicated was somewhere around "P" in MPH. Speed figured on gearing (stock) and tire diameter was 145-148 mph.

Stopping a stock bodied 914 on 205 tires into the bus stop at 145mph with stock calipers is interesing.....it will move side to side about a car width!

 

Oh and thanks for the offer on the 1.8 crank. I'm still mulling over some options, but I'll keep it in mind. If I can save the case, which I think I can, I will probably just buy a new crank and put it back together.

 

"Interesting" is putting it nicely.

 

Where do you stand on the repair Matty?

 

Ordered a new 78mm crank and waiting on it to show up.

 

So the car wil be good to go for the spring?

 

matt, get a six!!

 

I have been saying that to him for years.

 

Keep the 4! sixes are for people with "compensation" issues

 

I get to drive a six on the track, but it's way more fun to have a serious four. Plus, I like to watch the expression on people's faces when they hear it's a four.

 

Is that as it gets loaded on the flatbed?

 

oh SNAP !!!

 

Sorry Matty! I love ya bro. Hopefully this doesn't mean you won't help me fix up the 1.7 this spring.

 

I'll help you load it on a flat bed, with all of my experience....

 

Well played Matty, well played!!!!!!
