B C Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I did this ride at an amusement park back home. Basically a 350 SBC jr dragster on a rail/with no steering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 What I am wondering is what are engine limitations, can they be 2stroke? Age restrictions? Is there certain days that you can run them on the drag strip? I read up on a lot of info online but it would be nice to know exact info from someone that had done it.

YoungCR Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Bought this Clarion FZ-102E for one of the cars and I'm super happy with it. Matches the oem lighting perfect and buttons look great too. It's a basic European market head unit but that's all I wanted. Took about a week to ship from the U.K. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clarion-FZ102E-Mechless-Deckless-USB-AUX-In-Car-Stereo-Radio-Player-RED-Display-/271643876546 B C, MattY and HipMF 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Glad to see there are other OEM style options other than Nakamichi (which have some quality issues) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdesign Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 WOAHHHHHH. I had one just like that in my civic many many moons ago. I miss that deck, I should have kept it when I sold the car. FAIL. andyhundley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Being european, does the radio frequency change at all? Probably a stupid question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what this unit isn't in the us market because it does cover the full American spectrum. I haven't bought the correct antenna wiring yet but many on bimmer forums have had no issues. 5 hours ago, straight6pwr said: aww man that is awesome, need one of those in my life.

HipMF Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 My latest and greatest theory on the once-a-month random-loss-of-power/failure-to-run-at-all e34 life. -or- One of several hundred (non moving parts) reasons you shouldn't daily a 25-year-old car. Car runs great 99.8% of the time. The other 0.2% it doesn't run at all. If you giggle the fuel pump relay, it seems to make no difference. If you jump the contacts with a paper clip it runs fine. However, since it runs perfectly 99.8% of the time (at random), you're never sure if the changes you made actually changed something, or if it just randomly decided to start working again...

My Cousin is now in his late 20's, os it's been a few years since they actually participated. They usually go through a rule overhaul every few years. My relatives would have a little insight but nothing relevant. I bet there are internet forums dedicated to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsbimmer1 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I've never understood the appeal of the 914. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhundley Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 914's are neat. 70-71 models are a pain to get parts for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight6pwr Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 LS swap, coilovers, and some flared fenders and that things could be an auto-x monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris3 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 For some reason I always liked the looks of these. Then again I also liked the old Karmann Ghias. There was a guy autoxing a 914 at Miller Park years ago. Slow but it looked like fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 The PCA 914 guys looked like they were having a blast at RA. I've always liked them but I'm sure its like a first gen boxster, super disappointing to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
