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 |

Porsche Cayenne, Panamera production halted by flooding
Thu, 06 Jun 2013If you recently ordered a Porsche Cayenne or a Panamera, delivery may take a little longer than originally expected. Automotive News reports that production of both models has been temporarily halted at the Porsche assembly plant in Leipzig, Germany as the result of supply shortages caused by flooding in the nearby Czech Republic. The reason for the stoppage is that the body of the Cayenne - currently Porsche's best-selling model - is produced at a Volkswagen plant in the Czech city of Bratislava and shipped by train to Leipzig.
The report does not indicate why Panamera production has been stopped - that the five-door's body is made at a separate location in Hanover, Germany. However pre-assembly will continue on these models. At full capacity, the Leipzig plant can produce about 450 vehicles per day, and it isn't clear how long this weather-related stoppage will last.
The mood at this year’s Paris Motor Show: Quiet
Tue, Oct 2 2018The Paris Motor Show, held every other year in the early fall, typically kicks off the annual cavalcade of automotive conclaves, one that traverses the globe between autumn and spring, introducing projective, conceptual and production-ready vehicle models to the international automotive press, automotive aficionados and a public hungry for news of our increasingly futuristic mobility enterprise. But this year, at the press preview days for the show, the grounds of the Porte de Versailles convention center felt a bit more sparsely populated than usual. This was not simply a subjective sensation, or one influenced by the center's atypically dispersed assemblage of seven discrete buildings, which tends to spread out the cars and the crowds. There were not only fewer new vehicles being premiered in Paris this year, there were fewer manufacturers there to display them. Major mainstream European OEM stalwarts such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Nissan and Volkswagen chose to sit out Paris this year, as did boutique manufacturers like Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. This is not simply based in some antipathy on the part of the German, British and Italian manufacturers toward the French market — though for a variety of historical and societal reasons that market may be more dominated by vehicles produced domestically than others. Rather, it is part of a larger trend in the industry. Last year, Mercedes-Benz announced that it would not be participating in the flagship North American International Auto Show in 2019 — and that it might not return. Other brands including Jaguar/Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Mazda and nearly every exotic carmaker have also departed the Detroit show. Some of these brands will still appear in the city in which the show is taking place, and host an event offsite, to capitalize on the presence of a large number of reporters in attendance. And even brands that do have a presence at the show have shifted their vehicle introductions to the days before the official press opening in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. In many ways, this makes sense. With an expanding number of automakers, with diversification and niche-ification of models and with wholesale shifts that necessitate the introduction of EV or autonomous sub-brands, there is a growing sense that, with everyone shouting at the same time, no one can be heard.
Can a Corvette really be compared to a 911 with options costing more than the Chevy?
Wed, 29 Jan 2014In this latest video from Drive, Chris Harris asks straight away, "Can you still compare a base Corvette to a Porsche Carerra?" That's an particularly interesting question in this film, as the 911 in question is a 400-horsepower Carrera S model that's been fitted with $60,000 in options. Base price of a Corvette Stingray? $51,995. Harris' tester features an automatic and some other goodies that push it right up to that $60,000 range. So yes, the options on the Porsche cost as much as this entire 460-hp Chevrolet.
Harris stresses that this isn't a full review, but he does exercise both cars in a more composed manner before reverting to his traditionally exuberant driving style. The impressions are, as always, spot on, with Harris favoring the pointy nature and V8 power of the Stingray, while enjoying the gearbox (Porsche's exceptional PDK transmission) and just about everything else on the 911.
Take a look below for the latest video from Drive, and let us know if you agree with Mr. Harris' views on these two sports cars.
