not to be racist but i've had multiple african americans comment on how they love my car. I've seen pics of e30's rolling through africa with at least 15-20 africans on them with ak-47's. WILD. its in the african blood. Hope this wasn't too racist, forgive me as I am intoxicated.
Please let me know how the aluminum rear mounts work out. I've been debating those vs something more like delrin for my 'track car'. It will see more street time hooning around than actual HPDE's but I do have another E30 to drive if I want something more comfortable.
Rules
I don't care if people call them VW in disguise (I guess they kinda are), I want one. With a lightweight V8 in the back/middle.
You really don't want a V8 or for that matter any liquid cooled motor in a 914. They ALWAYS break/overheat ect. I've been autoXing with the PCA and I've NEVER seen one finish a day. They are always trailered to the races, and always go home broken. Doesn't sound like fun to me.
Here is my friends '74 914 with a short stroke 2.5L 6 running Formula Ford 13" Goodyear slicks.
This 912 has a 3.2L in it. Holy crap its fast. He was wondering why it was understeering through corners...
That 912 is awesome! And those slicks look really wide to be from a formula ford, although they are pretty cramped on a FF. My dad tried a set of them on the front of his Vee, iirc they were like 8 or 9" wide.
Either way, both those cars are very awesome. Got any good pics of your toys in action?

Yeah I've got one or two...
That should cover it.
Oh yeah on my friends 914, they might be off a Star Mazda or Formula Rustle car. I know they are off some open wheel formula car. He goes out and pics them off the used tire pile at Sears Point for free. He has true rain tires, and several different compounds of dry slicks. The car is flat out fast. Also with the transmission he has, 1st gear is good for almost 60 mph. Perfect for an autoX.

^I am serioously jealous, you have some sweet rides there! Really loving that Alfa.
The Alfa was sweet, I was the third owner, it sat in a barn for 30 years. It met an untimely demise however :( Some jackass rear ended me on my way to work.
