Last night on my commute home my '74 914 2.0 was hit in the rear by a Mercedes Sedan, the driver fled the scene (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) and my insurance company explained to me today, that yes, you are insured against uninsured drivers and therefore against hit and run accidents but only for medical expenses (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) , I guess next time I read the fine print better.
Now i need to fix the body and get a new paint job so I guess its time for the GT flares, 5 Lug conversion, Brake upgrade and Fuchs. I do have some questions that I hope to get answered: - Which are the best (probably steel) GT flares, also for the money? - Where do I get the best fibreglass bumpers? GTracing? - Do 8 inch fuchs fit in the rear? - Whats the best spindle and hub to use in the front, I do want to run at least SC Calipers and the matching vented discs? - What parts exactly of the 76/77 911 rear hub do I need for the rear conversion to five lug? I know these are a lot of questions I hope you guys can help. Thank you Cornelius PS Maybe somebody has seen something on the 91 west bound in LA on Friday around 6:50 pm?! |

I had some time of thinking and I will convert to a flat six. The reason the engine is a topic already, the current type 4 has low oil pressure and a rod knock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Does anybody have a link for the oil tank options? Where do you run the oil lines for the front cooler? I worked on a customer 914-6 conversion car once, that was not made well and I was trying to fix some of the big issues, anyways the oil lines for the cooler where run under the car in the impression where the tunnel is located above and I did not like that solution... At Patrick Motorsport they sell two 914 6 engine mounts, weld on and bolt on, i guess bolt on is easier, but what is the advantage of weld on? I don't see a big difference structurally. |
