#METROGNOME LEMONS UPDATE#

The V 5th was the old 4th gear moved over one position, and the KA 3rd was the old 3rd gear flipped over and moved down. I wound up settling for a C 1st, H 2nd, KA 3rd, Q 4th, and 4 5th. By being a little flexible, I managed to find the gear sets I needed used at a fraction of what they would cost new.

The actual gears I chose were a compromise between the ideal ratios, and what I could assemble for a reasonable price. I needed a higher 1st and 2nd, and a lower 3rd. This was great heel-and-toe practice, but not the fastest way to get through the course. At the last GGR AX of the season, I shifted 10 times each run bouncing between 2nd and 3rd, as I'd shift up on each straight and then down on each turn. When I run out of RPMs, I have to shift to 3rd, which is too high - giving sluggish acceleration.

I get wheel spin with full throttle and run out of RPMs on most medium straights. Even for a stock 914 these gears aren't great, and for my 3.2L six, they are awful. For most autocrosses you don't get into 4th or 5th, so I'll ignore them for this discussion. The stock 914 transmission has gears A,F, and N for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively. Regearing the transmission was high on my list. This year, my project list read something like: With the first competition events a little over a month away, the urgency increases, the list gets prioritized and shortened, and some work on the car actually gets done. If you are like me, the demands of family and job often get in the way of enjoying some mechanical therapy with the car, so often February comes around and only limited progress has been made on the project list. At the end of each driving season, in October or November, I make a long list of all of the projects I want to complete on my racecar in preparation for next season. February is also the time to complete our winter projects. The days are getting longer and we are all looking forward to spring - and the start of our competition-driving season.

Please contact Claude Leglise with questions and to raise your hand.įebruary is a time of anticipation.

The board is looking for someone with experience in this field to guide the creative process. Ideally, the result will be a style guide that can be used by club volunteers to communicate their projects and programs in a coordinated manner. This may include creating a color palette, selecting fonts and layout, and updating the club logo - all with an eye to respecting the integrity of the club's heritage 'brand', and building on that to enhance its identity. The goals of the project are to freshen up the look of the club and to restore consistency across our various channels of communications, electronic presence, and GGR-specific 'goodies'. In addition, most of our communications have migrated from paper to electronic form.

The GGR board of directors is looking for a member, or a friend, with experience managing graphic designers as an art director, creative director, or the like, who could volunteer to help update and improve the visual identity of the club.ġ980 was the last time our logo and color palette were professionally designed, and over the past few years our club's identity has aged a bit and drifted.
