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 |

Yes, lockup is easy!
on blue car I had a 19mm with stock 4 parts front and rear. So damn easy to lockup on the street. I almost bought a couple cars in front of me cause they locked up easily. A BIG BIG BIG factor here are tires. I didn't have the right size & compound tire to stop. -4 Brakes on a -4 car are more than sufficient when setup correctly. Unless your car is repowered or a big track car I don't see the need for more brake. |
