Took me a year to find out I had no shocks at all front or rear, car was being held up by the bushings, torsion bar and stock springs.. sure road smooth though.. |

It's always enlightening how the little, basic stuff makes such a HUGE difference. |

The funny thing is ... all I wanted to do is make it handle like a "Porsche" Who knew it was that basic. My dodge truck was soo much better in the twisteis than my porsche and I thought that was way wrong.
Rear sway in going in this week with new tires. I cant wait to see what that does. |

Nice Cory! Always nice to get a ride in the 914. Let alone after such anotable improvement. I still need to bribe you to come down to weld in my suspension ear. Sometime in the next few months. I do want to have it for WCR without a doubt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I just have to pick up some more wire, I got carried away with the front sway reinforcement HAHAHA Let me know when a good time is, and we will figure it out. |
