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(J P Stein @ Feb 17 2004, 11:26 AM) Well, golly Rich. Either you don't read this stuff or you don't think much of my story of a 2 driver DE experience. Maybe an expert can help ya i -do- (did) read it all, but i can't remember everything all at once :-) ... and i didn't get until your followup and re-re-re-reading your post that you have a 2-driver situation. (in fact, i was originally wondering who this Chuck person was and why he was relevant ...) our weight and power requirements are comparable, although i suspect you have lots more power and way less weight. we are running the same caliper setups - although i have a bit more weight in back (but no proportioner...) i ran the front pads i plan to re-use at Willow Springs and a couple of sessions at Riverside - until the car went off... they're stock 930 pads, and i found them to be just fine. what i won't know until i'm 'in it' is what the braking situation is on the tracks around here... maybe i'll just lay in another set of 930 pads and see how they fly ... |
