after a long discussion about different engines in 914s (Fiid is working on a watercoold 4-cyl twin-turbo) and the recent threads about 1.7 and 1.8 engines being worthless POS and all,
i took Fiid for a ride in my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) i have a bone stock 1.8 with a 1.7 D-Jet injection. all un-needed stuff removed (no AAR, no decel valves etc.), SSI heat exchangers and a Manta muffler. i'm guesstimating a optimistic, whoooping 85HP max. (probably less) ... soooo, i took him for a ride and showed him what you can do with "just" a 1.8 in your car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) the car is understeering in tight corners ever since i put in the new shocks & springs in the back, which makes for interesting drifting (nose first (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) ... hope i didn't scare ya too much, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Andy |

Im dieing here.. I have stock suspension on the back, and my front end is lifting around moderate corners.. Im afraid to take it around corners at serious speed for fear of understeer.. And I have some serious tire under the car as well..
Anyone have 140's or so for sale (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I would be happy with my engine if it was running right. I have problems with it every day.. Right now im waiting for my dad to get his wideband o2 sensor so we can check the mixture of my car to get it set right for full throttle.. as I have backfiring and detonating at full throttle.. But at 70% throttle I have my max power. Ehh not the place to talk about this. Andrew |
