I don't usually read this magazine but saw on the cover a mention of the 914 article so I bought it. Excellent explanation of the upgrades to BMW front calipers, etc.
This was actually one of the last articles in a series about their 914 project car. Has anyone read any of the articles, are they worth trying to find? Pete |

Right now I have not even checked with the machine shop to see if they are done (figured they would call when ready.)
Bern, you have to use our hub. No way around it. The bearings/races are cheap. Stock rotors are cheap also.. you wont be out that much. Joshua, Run them.. I dont care. I'm telling you that people with 100's (yes 100's) of SCCA National wins have been doing it on stock brakes since the 70's. Learn to drive is the moto I follow. We now run vented 911 rotors with the same size brake pad. We ended up with better cooling and NO issue with fade. Put big reds on it for all I care. I personally wont sell or install the BMW stuff. I would rather figure out why your stock system isnt working properly. On some of the cars, we run 4 front calipers (makes buying brake pads easier) and then balance them with an adjustable bias control. Brakes is the one area where I have seen it all and dealt with it all. Stock system still works. B |
