The "Secret Project".......... or, whats been taking time away from the 744t
Well, here it is, the 144 that I was SUPPOSED to co-drive in 07, but my good friend wrecked before that could happen. Instead of competing in the Western Ohio Region SCCA SoloII, we started gutting the car and preparing it for much better things.
The motor is a stock shortblock with .032 taken off the block, largest valves available from the factory (B20 guys, inform me on what they are, I'm clueless, I just did the suspension and pulled the motor), Iskendariens rowdiest cam, and the first factory overbore (60k on the motor before the rebuild, all new bearings, lifters, pushrods), and one or two hotrodder tricks applied internally. Using a 240t auto radiator (two row) and factory Djet, IPD swore up and down it would work, if it doesn't, Weber 44s are going on it. Debating on a grooved head, for all you wanting a real subjective test, it may happen on this car.
The car is a 1973 144e, Djet, M410 4spd. It has 250lb springs up front, about a 1 inch drop, and turbo wagon springs in the rear with two coils cut. 164 sway bar in the rear. The next thing is FCP/IPD poly's all around and 164 rotors/ 240t calipers.
The hood is Army Green and will have a vinyl white star on it to honor my sister in Kuwait right now..... its the least I could do.
And without further adou, the pics.
Egads.... what a mess (still convincing Eric that MSnS is the ONLY way to solve his fuel supply issues)
A TurboBricks style exhaust if I've ever seen one myself
And FREE slicks, still have some life in them. Even if they only last one run.... free is free (and even better when you have your own tire mounting machine) Found them in a dumpster behind Forgeline wheels in Dayton.
Were open to any advice you have to give. The car needs to stay within some guidelines to not get bumped out of class (gimme till tomorrow to call Eric and ask him which one that is), but... nothing too crazy suspension wise, really... just any tips on how to tune the B20... if there are any when running a stock dizzy and Djet.
This is where most of my time has been spent, drinking and farting away my hours on a car that will probably be 100x's more competitive than mine (especially with Eric... dude drives a k-car hard enough to shame a C4 Vette... come to a Dayton autocross to witness it. STOCK 854 GLT beating up on MR2s running slicks.. pretty funny).
