Customer Cars: Utah Valley University Racing Team's Endurance 914

Friday, February 10, 2023 3:21 PM

We love seeing what exciting projects our customers are currently working on. Every month we would like to showcase a couple of cars in whatever state they are in - on the road or on the rack.

This month's customer car story comes from Matt Hasara. Matt is an Assistant Professor who is sharing the Utah Valley University racing team's student-built 914.

The team is made up of college students from the automotive and engineering departments of the university. For almost 5 years, the team drove a Miata in endurance races and then decided to start a new project during the Covid-19 restrictions. This led them to acquire a 914 as the program's new endurance race car. The car has a GT chassis reinforcement kit welded in along with a full roll cage and a removable petty bar. It has also been completely stripped out to reduce as much weight as possible.

Brembo brakes have been added up front along with a set of 993 brake cooling deflectors and M-calipers have been installed in the rear. A full GT oil cooler has been set up in the front and a transmission cooler has been installed in the rear. The team plans to run a 2.7-liter 911 S engine with a 901 transmission that has been modified with shortened gears. if everything goes well they are hoping to get the car on track this spring for testing and preparation for a race in August.

The racing team students learn many different types of skills - from engine building, to suspension setup, trackside prep, and even some driving skills. This also gives them the opportunity to develop team leadership skills as they work with their peers. Plus, they learn to work with social media promoting their efforts and successes. It's been a very rewarding project for everyone.

Thank you for sharing this awesome story about dedication and teamwork, Matt! We look forward to hearing more about this car when it's ready to take on the track and bring home the gold!

This months customer car story comes from Jeremy Rex and his 1974 914 featuring a Beach Boys Racing body kit.

He is planning to install a 996 big brake kit with a Boxster S 6-speed transmission mated up to a Honda K24 engine. You can see more of his car on Youtube at his channel Gasholes Garage.

Customer Cars: Dave McKenna's 1976 914

Wednesday, November 9, 2022 5:28 PM

We love seeing what exciting projects our customers are currently working on. Every month we would like to showcase a couple of cars in whatever state they are in - on the road or on the rack.

This month's submission comes from Dave McKenna with his 1976 914. The car was a barn find that Dave came across and bought in 2015 and just recently became roadworthy.

At the time it had no transmission, no floor pan, and the engine was disassembled and spread out across several boxes of parts. He did a bare metal restoration on a rotisserie that took 5 1/2 years to complete. The 2.0 L engine was rebuilt with all new components from LNENGINEERING and now sits at 2563 cc @ 195 hp. Between the new engine and all the new seals from 914Rubber it's like driving a brand new car according to Dave, and is a blast to drive.

Talk about a one of a kind car, thanks for the awesome submission Dave!
