Jeff and I went through the car again Sunday - my 3rd time going through it, Jeff's probably 100th time. I think every time he (and the rest of us) look at it, it looks better and better, with less and less to fix.

Unfortunately, there are a bunch of us that can relate (I've totalled 2 914's - not in club racing though), but Jeff knows there are also a bunch of us that will help him any way possible to get him back on the track as soon as possible.

On my video from the race, you can hear me saying "No Jeff No" about a dozen times as we drove by slowly on the double yellow....made it hard to finish the rest of the race...

Jeff,
Rear toe link is in the mail.

I checked my lower (front) balljoints - you will need to replace both of yours...

Good luck with your first race, I remember mine like it was yesterday! Lots of butterflies in the first "ran race" , after that it was fun! Stay clean and always remember to keep your line, let the faster cars find a way around you. Watch out for the dive bombers and have fun! Man I cant wait to go back racing again next year!

My first thoughts also! Or get the same wheel from MOMO for significantly less.

I'm sure our respective familial units would have shown strong displeasure if you and I spent Thanksgiving picking over your car!

My ball joint castings are almost in line with the arms, not wrapped around....

She's close....The "reveal" thread is around the corner (perhaps 3 more weeks)
