They have a Mini Rally cara in there, but they want way too much skrill for it.

I have no idea. I haven't talked to James in a little while. I'll ask him next time I talk to him. Which should be soon because he sold his 'vette and we talk every time he gets a new car. lol

Yeah, seems a bit steep compared to others I've looked at, and that one has some iffy mods like switches for all the lights and a hokey roll bar.

I guess since my name's in the title, I should chime in.

First, that's a very well done 914! Looks like a very clean rebuild, and a nice job w/ the Chevy 350 conversion.

I just have a problem w/ a V8 in those cars. Sure it's a great compact motor that puts out a bunch of power, and there's *tons* of cheap aftermarket for 'em, but there's just something "wrong"... um spiritually, or something. The only cross-brand swaps that should go into those are real-deal Porsche flat-6's or turbo Subaru motors. Gotta go w/ the flat motor IMO.

Either way, that car's *way* too nice for what I'd do to it, which is flog it around a track. I'd need one that's already beat to hell, with a cage, and a widebody kit on it.

I've learned me lesson: don't build racecars w/ your own money... buy them already built!

No kidding. That's like if Mr. Scott mind-melded with that redhead Doctor on Next Generation.
