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 |

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024
Mon, Jan 22 2024Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor. $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60. $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.
Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration
Mon, 29 Sep 2014There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.
Porsche 918 Spyder recalled over bad wiring harness
Fri, May 22 2015An investigation of customer concerns has led to a global recall of the Porsche 918 Spyder, including 223 units in North America. The carmaker said that a carbon fiber component can damage a radiator fan wiring harness, so it is contacting owners directly to have their cars brought in for a service inspection. The issue affects cars built through the end of April 2015; cars built after that use a revised design. Dealers will remount the wiring harness, a process that should take half a day. You'll find more information in the press release below. Related Video: Porsche recalling 918 Spyder models for service inspection Precautionary recall: affected customers will be contacted directly Atlanta. Porsche has issued a global recall for 918 Spyder models that have already been delivered. This precautionary recall for a service inspection affects 223 vehicles in the United States. This is because the electric wiring harness for a radiator fan in vehicles manufactured up until the end of April 2015 could be damaged by a carbon-fiber component. The wiring harness will be examined and optimally remounted in the work shop. The cause was identified following a detailed examination of inquiries. Corrective measures have subsequently been taken in manufacturing. The owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted directly by Porsche Cars North America. The service visit, which will be free of charge, will be arranged as quickly as possible and the inspection will likely require the vehicle to be left in the shop for half a day.
