[914gem]

All you V8 guys and guys that have built these pocket rockets which kit or combination of parts work best. Such as quality of parts, service, instructions, cost,ect. How about some testimonys and storys from V8 people about their cars, what they used and what they wouldn't use if they had it to do over again.

soloracer,

I took many hours and seam welded the entire car. Reinforced the laterals by boxing them with heavy gauge steel. Roll cage, well roll bar semi cage. Plans later on to tube the entire car and tie front and rear suspension points together. At the moment its a never ending battle finding room for all the sh** needed to make this sickness work. My only issue at the moment is the cv's. The cv's I have now I am sure will not last so I have been investigating an alternative. At the moment my research has indicated that the top cv for high HP applications would be the 935 unit, sometimes referred to as a 934. These cv's are the daddy of all cv's. I mead these things are HUGE. I am not positive but I don’t believe that the 935 cv's will fit in the 914 trailing arms with out major modification, so the second choice will be the 930 cv's. The 930 cv's have been used extensively in off road buggies with major success. The biggest advantage with the 930 cv's is that they are widely available. So I am leaning toward the 930.

Regards,

Turbo Paul.
