We have been a-xing our 1.8 40,000 75 914. As we are new to the game...we have some questions. We have installed a new front sway bar, 140 rear springs and new rear shocks. Wo turning the car into a pure track car... what are my next steps (other than R tires, new motor and seat time) to improve the car? I was told NOT to change front torsion bars ... as it wouldnt be streetable then??? Comments? Also what is the best tire pressures for AX using my current street tires Dunlops Sports? When I go to Khumos, then what pressures should I use? Thanks from a rookie/beaten too often driver...Karl

With the car sitting on all 4 wheels on a level surface & the down link lock nuts loose, both adjusters should turn freely within a small range...or be slack....no preload.
Preloading is (IMO) best left to someone that really has their shit together. I notice that my 914's front bar will preload itself...or rather the chassis will do it.....this is not good, but I live with it. Full soft is when the down links are at their maximum distance in the lever arm, away from the bar. |
