I'm still slowly preparing to start my full '73 2.0 restoration- in the mean time, I've been driving the car and figuring out what needs to be done. I want to keep the car very close to stock, but also want to make a few improvements to make the car a little more enjoyable.
I'm thinking about doing a hydraulic cam on the rebuild and a little higher compression pistons, larger brake master, hydraulic lifts for the hood and trunk instead of the springs, and maybe ditching the inner door handles for pulls instead. (I guess I like the RS style look) I know there are a ton of mods out there and was wondering if anyone has experience with any that I'm thinking about doing, or have done any others that you would recommend. |

As you can see from my build thread, I like to leave mine in pristine stock original condition.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I don't think anyone saw that coming... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I'm not against doing the valves but I do drive the car regularly and plan to keep it that way, so the hydraulic cam doesn't worry me too much. It is definitely something I'm not set on doing yet though Anyone swap their starter for a high torque starter? I happened to see them on pelican but don't know much about the units. |

Anyone swap their starter for a high torque starter? I happened to see them on pelican but don't know much about the units. I have one on both 914s. They have worked flawlessly the whole time. And they don't have the no crank hot start problem, even without the booster relay. Be careful on which one you buy. Make sure you don't go cheap on them. The cheap ones are crap. |
