914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Kinesis 914-6 Specs

Posted by: Sideways Dec 28 2005, 10:59 AM

Hi everyone, relatively new to the club but old to 914's.

Just picked up a teener here in Calgary and begining the rebuild and conversion process, will post photo's when I have some...

Does anyone have the wheel and suspension specs from the Black Kinesis 914-6?

I remember there was an article in one of the Porsche Mags but I cannot remember which magazine. If someone could copy the specs for me as all my magazines are in storage in Australia and I'm here in Canada.....

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Steven

That is one sweet car. The magazine was 911 World and the artical was about 5 years ago.

Thanks Paul, It is one good looking car.....

I am hoping the article has some details on the wheel sizes, offsets etc and a little on the suspension....

The guy who now owns the car is a member here
Don't think he's too active here, but he's around...

Try a search and you should be able to find him

Call Kinesis and ask for "Mr. Stacey" he is the owner of Kinesis. He built the car.

Mr. Stacey still loves 914's. He came by the shop a month or so back and asked me how much to build a 993 duplicate of our shop car.

Welcome aboard Sideways! I'm in Calgary also and I have Kinesis k27's on my 914 currently. I don't know the specs on the wheels but you can come check it out any time. Send me a PM with your contact info if you are interested.

I also have a white 944 Turbo and a black RX7. Did you buy the car from Randal by chance?

I remember being totally blown away by the Kinesis 914 at the Monterey Historics booth. Thanks for the memories Marty.

I think those flares are even prettier than the M471s...subtle mods, but beautfiful.

Didn't like the dinky brakes and red anodizing, tho'...

Still, one of the best-looking 914s I've ever seen. Change wheel finishes, add big brakes, and install 3.2 or larger motor and done.
