I recently aquired a 74 2.0 and plan on building it to rally spec. Nothing to serious, just gravel, clay, and not so rough dirt roads. So, I've been hunting arouund for 914 build threads and have come up dry. Has anyone here had experience with such a build? I realise I'll need to sure up the chassy and suspension. Wondering if I could get suggestions on what shocks and springs to use, anti roll bars etc. Any advice would help. Thanks in advance.
Cheers Josh |

Hello everyone,
Thanks for all the input. BTW that's not my car in the pic's. That's Moggy's fine piece of kit. I was also skeptical of the roll cage thing. So I went back to the site I found the event on http://rallyflorida.org/ and realized it says it is NOT an SCCA sanctioned event. It's a sprint rally with 6 stages, anyway you can read for yourself on the site. It's being held at "The European Rally School" in Starke FL., so I'm guessing they have some sort of training stages with minimal trees, probably none at the turns. I'm still trying to get my car started (waiting on Dellorto parts from across the pond) so I'm putting off the rally build work until I know I have a good motor. My rally mechanic/rally buddy has a Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (AWD, Turbo) we're going to enter in this event. I'll be his co-driver and once my car is done he'll be mine. I'm 6'5' Moggy so thanks for the heads up on the seat mounting. Anyway, wish me luck, I'll keep you posted on the car. Cheers Josh |
