[mfgriggs]

I have recieved lots of advice from this group. Many times it has been "speak to CB or Fats" Could someone tell me who or what these people are and perhaps provide a link?

Thanks

CB refers to CB Performance (the CB stands for Claudes Buggies). They are primarily a VW parts / mods & Customs / Accessories outfit in CA (Farmersville I believe). They have some 914 hard parts including bearings, diff. CAM's, Fuel Inj. setups, etc. I have used them and hve had no problems.
I do not know about FATS but I am going to guess that they are the same kind of outfit.

"CB" is CB Performance. Used to be Claude's Buggies. They do TONS of Type I stuff, somewhat less Type IV (and 914) stuff. Lots of aircooled knowledge alltogether. Their URL is http://www.cbperformance.com .

"Fats" is most likely FAT Performance, down in Orange CA. They have been doing Type IVs since the Type IV was invented, so they have a pretty good idea how to get good performance out of them. I don't think they have a web site, but they do advertise in most of the typical Porsche magazines. (E.g., Panorama, Excellence, probably european car, etc.)
