I have a nice little stock 74 914 2.0 that is my daily driver. Like I have mentioned many times before, I put about 15,000 miles a year of daily driving on her.
I have never AX'ed my 914, and I was wondering, how much stress does AX'ing put on your 914. And where are the main points of stress? I would imagine the transmission and rear CV joints would feel a lot of stress, along with the front suspension? And maybe some major tire scuffing? So if I decided to casually AX, how much downtime should I expect to encounter? I would love to occasionally enter an AX just to learn more about my car, but at what expense and level of downtime would I encounter? And how much wear would I place on my transmission/CV joints/suspension/etc??? My thanks. |

Will it break a DD? Short answer: NO Those are sports cars. They were meant to be driven. Otherwise, they'd have an Oldsmobile badge on the rear. However, if there's anything on your car that is already in bad shape, you probably WILL break it during hard driving. For example, if you have a CV that's already out of grease or the bolts are loose or your setscrew for the shift linkage is not tight or ... AX tends to expose all those little things on your car that you neglected over the last few years ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Andy |
