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 |

-4 tires are sr165 I am going to a performance 205. Are stock up to that? Post experience. I agree that tires are the most
important factor in the equation. With the better tires I would think the bmw units would be ok Yes? Also, I have heard that one of the problems with the vw stock stuff is that they flex. I do not know if this is true or not. I think that what works for racing might not be good for the street. This is where I feel a lot of people are coming from different schools of thought. Race pads, tires and the lot need a particular set of circumstances to be effective. That said it the zone they rock. On the street in the rain etc. they become dangerous. I can never find my pit crew when it rains (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I guess what I am saying is that you have to take your needs into consideration when modifying. |
