What upgrades/safety things does a new owner do? Options

[Super90]

HI all, when my new car gets here I want to go thru it for safety upgrades and eliminate as many roadside breakdown possibilities. It has led a sheltered life, a 2.0. 74 with a lot of great options (less a/c which is ok by me).It has not been driven a lot in the past couple of years.

I was thinking:
1. It has all the original red & green hoses in the engine compartment. Replace all that stuff?
2. Fuel lines replace with SS kit. (who sells?) at same time take out tank & clean it & get new fuel filter. Is there a recommended upgrade filter?
3. Move fuel pump to front. (Could not find a how to type article, any help appreciated) Any recommended upgrade pump?
4. Clutch cable
5. Fan belt
6. Check brake parts & replace/rebuild as necessary.

I want to keep the car pretty much stock so not looking for big brake upgrades or such. But should I use a bigger Mastery cylinder like the one on the early 911?

Any other recommendations appreciated. I've been reading up on the car via a number of threads here & thru the Haynes shop book.

Oh yeah, any other 914 guys/guru's in the Augusta,GA area or in nearby SC or other places reasonably close by? Couldnt figure how to search the memebr list by area.

Thanks,
George

I would replace all the rubber hose fuel line with the Porsche rubber coated high pressure fuel injection line and the clamps with the OEM style ones. I hate using the 5/16s stuff when you can get quality stuff still.
The red and green vacuum hoses I would check for hard ends and just cut off a little bit to ensure its a good tight fit. You can get the German grey colored hose at a Porsche dealer in all the right sizes, don't use some crappy rubber stuff.
Replace the big hose pieces on the intake manifold to runners.
Replace the injector seals
Pull the gas tank and clean it and replace all the fuel lines there plus the tank screen.
Replace the rubber connection hose at the fuelpump
Replace the clutch cable and grease the wheel and bearing
Replace the accel cable as they do snap with a Terry cable
Replace the shifter bushings with a kit so its shifts right and the little cone screws and order a couple extra to keep in the car as they do fall out.
Replace the alt belt
Change the oil to Brad Penn and filter
Change the rubber brake lines and bleed the system several times to get all the air and old fluid out. Pvalve is a bitch to clear out. If the brake calipers are rusty and sticking send em to Eric Shea to rebuild properly and restore.
Clean the grounds on the engine, tranny strap and FI grounds...
Go thru the heating system to make sure its all there and sealed or you will smell exhaust....best to find Stainless Steel Heat exchangers if its doesn't have em....tons better heat.
Check the front wheel bearings for adjustment, regrease and adjust.
Once you get the 914 in good driving shape, take off!
I perfer to have good shocks (Konis) and 205x50 high quality tires as it makes for a nicer driving experience especially at Freeway speeds. These cars love cornering and freeway driving.
