Getting ready for the hillclimb season by swapping back to Group 4 Wheels Campag rep wheels, now shod with Yokohama AO52 tyres in place of previous Toyo R88Rs...






I also run A052's. Nice tire for the price.

I'm getting there. Put a chase in for the frunk cable, shouldn't be an air flow issue.

Thank you.
I’ll pull all the stuff out of the way tomorrow
and seam seal it. Leaving a couple small weep
holes at the bottom for those rainy days.

Matt

The class I run in has an approved list of tyres (sorry, tires!), so only tyres on that list can be used. The three most commonly used are Nankang AR-1 (£470 a set - roughly $630), Toyo R88R (£650 a set - roughly $880. Currently hard to find...) and the Yokohama AO52 (£960 a set - $1300!!!!!!). Prices are for 195/50 or 195/55x15.
The price of a set of AO52s has risen by £150 (over $200) in just one month since I bought mine, while the Toyo R88Rs are virtually impossible to buy right now... I think I can guess why.

Installed a "new" Triad exhaust to the '73. Embarrassed to say I found it in a box way up on a shelf and had forgotten I'd had it!
Sounds great and looks good too... ready for the next air-cooled get together!Attached Image

Don't you just love it when you find "extra stuff" up on the shelf?

How is the noise level in the cabin?

Actually pretty quiet- much less lower throaty sound than a previous Triad exahust I had.
Have never really thought about noise levels in a 914! Especially compared to newer vehicles. Haven't had a radio in either one for ages- can't hear 'em anyway!!

Woke the car up from winter sleep, and went for a short test drive. All was good.

Then swapped position with the 911, since the 914 will go to C&C next weekend.

Not sure how others have done this, I could not find it addressed.
So I used 1/8” angle iron to try and put back a little of what I stole
cutting out that wedge so the oil lines will pass and still be able to get a
rocker panel on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
