The chassis is a mix of mild steel DOM tubing, with sizes ranging from 1.0 x .035 to 3.0 x .065. The main cage structure is all made from 1.5 x .095. The main frame rails are 2 x 4 x .065 and 3.0 x .065 round tubing. The floor supports are a combo of 1.25 X .083 square tubing and 1.25 x .065 round tubing. Both front and rear snouts wil be replaceable to ensure ease of repair should and accident occur. Removal of the rear subframe will be required to facilitate engine removal. The radiator wil be mounted face down in the front of the chassis with air exiting the hood to create downforce.


The suspension is a custom Dual A-arm suspension. It will use 1.0 x .058 chromoly tubing with rod ends on the chassis pivots and mono-balls acting as ball joints. All parts are custom one off stuff that will be easy to replicate. Ride height is set at 3.0in to the bottom of the frame rail. I designed for a 60 inch track in the front and a 58 inch track in the rear and maintained the stock wheel base and more or less keeping the 914 door opening width. The front will probably utilize a standard outboard shock mounting, but the rear will have to utilize something a little more complicated like a pushrod activated setup. I have set of Bilstien coilovers for all four corners. I have a custom sway bar but I doubt it will fit. The front and rear uprights will be custom. The rear bearing housings from a stock 914 trailing arm will be modified for the first go round. I may do something different in the rears later. Up front I am building a custom upright using a spindle pin from AFCO racing. The ball joints will be 1/2in monoballs and the steering arms are integrated into the upper ball joint mounts. There are three adjustment positions for ackerman. I am planning on using the stock 914 rack as it is light and easily mounted.
