74, stock 2.0, stock front swaybar - no rear bar, stock front inserts, may mount an older set of adjustable Koni's I already have on the back, either way 100 lb springs, 195/65 Eagle GT's.
Looking to have fun, not too worried about much else, but I have a few basic setup questions: I'm going to chalk the tires, but what pressure should I start at? Full tank, half tank or empty tank? Spare tire in or out? The konis need to be adjusted out of the car - soft, medium or firm (keep in mind I will have to live with it on NH streets too)? Should I overfill the oil a bit? If so how much? What am I missing? Thanks, Scott |

putting on new parts IMO requires taking some time to think through,
as chances are it won't be just one thing, and for a car that's been around for 40 years there will always be people to get opinions from. Also I agree it's not really the time to do it while you're learning. If you like that area, our club will be there this saturday. $50 for non-members, sign up by wednesday night. NCR PCA May 11 Reg If I know the weather will be shitty I won't be going, but probably will go if the forecast looks okay. I don't know if any other 914's will be there, one of our best 914 drivers moved away last year and NHMS is more north than our usual place. Unless you have a decent video system I think having someone else drive your car is a waste of time (maybe even then). Instructors can feel what's going on from the passenger seat. Ride with people who know the line. |
