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 |

QUOTE(Dominic @ Feb 16 2004, 09:43 AM) Just my $.02, but I'd rather have the solid stopping power of my BMW calipers up front and the rear proportioning valve removed when driving on the streets. When the Dumb A$$ in an SUV or new lexus cuts you off in your old school 914 with your stock brakes from 1970....good luck stopping. It's a safety issue with me being able to stop as well as the car in front of me on the street. I'm not talking about racing for 12 hours with this set up, just an affordable solution for the street driven 914. Yup - when that happened to me the other day I locked up all 4 wheels, like a dumb shit. With stock brakes. |
