DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hi,

I have a pair of rear calipers but they will need a complete rebuild so guess that doesn't help!

Pm sent..

Hi Graham, thanks for the kind words about my 914-6 - it was in for a bit of spring fettling. If you recall we met in a hotel car park in Botley for the clandestine swap of some stainless steel headers. They didn't fit in the end which was a shame. Took a look at the Lola when I was there -it is a w...

Hi Michael,

I remember when you used to have 2 of them! Check out the past events link 'Brooklands Breakfast Meeting '-

the old orange beast is still going strong!

kind regards
Rob

Hi Steve, I didn't realise it was you who pointed out my lights were on - you should have said you were a fellow ddk'er! I think we need to invent some sort of DDK masonic wink/handshake to identify us! Many thanks for the photos. It was a very low key event, but I loved the Ford Escorts. Standing u...

Hi,

I should be there - look out for the orange beast!

Kev,

you are a cheeky devil -

176HP for the old orange beast. Happy with that , bang on what it did last time and torque curve has got even better with a bit of running in.

Rob

Yes please! count me in for a dyno run if possible -


1)Tim Bennett= RHD Targa 2.2T
2)Peter Cronin= 69 911T with 2.4
3) Helen & Larry Goff (to spectate)
4) Rich RSGulp = 92 964RS Lightweight - power run please
5) Rob Taylor = 914-6 (2.4E with some tweaks - rebuilt by Bob)


kind regards
Rob

Stu,

sorry couldn't help with pics. Interested in your 'new' engine though! What are you dropping back in?

Rob

Hi,

my 914/6 runs 2.4E engine with 2.4S barrels and pistons / weber carbs/ 2.4E cams and was dyno'ed on Bob's Dyno (well actually he rebuilt the engine). My power/torque curves were close to textbook smooth with none of the dip exhibited on some of the plots so maybe it's the S spec cam?

Rob

Hi Vicky,

that was probably me if it was about 5.30-6.00ish. Just running back from VWNW show in Manchester. A great show by the way.

thanks for spotting me!

kind regards
Rob

Hi Wayne,

thats amazing - the engine sounded sweet as a proverbial nut, i would have though a rocker issue would have made some noise! Best of luck - it certainly looked quick for 184bhp on the footage.

Hi Wayne,

looking (and sounding) good! How did you sort the over fueling issue that Bob discovered on the Dyno day?

Best regards
Rob

Hi Si, great to have you on board. Last time I saw your car was the 914 International at Deauville some years back. looked superb - I remember thinking I must get me one of those with the the big arches.. If i recall Tom and his better half drove down overnight and stopped half way and slept in the ...

Hi Paul,

it was indeed me! Giving the old girl some exercise (well, it had been a week since the 914 International and I was getting withdrawl symptoms!)

cheers
Rob
