Just got my 75 2.0 back on the road after 24 years in the back of the garage. Last time I drove it back in 94 everything was pretty tight and smooth, now it seems to be all over the place. Was hoping to take it to WCR.
Any suggestions on where to start with the suspension? Has 76 911S front koni struts, S calipers and sway bar. Rear 914-6 components. Thanks ![]() ![]() |

I’m with the guys above, check the aged maintenance items then have the alignment redone, then you’ll have a baseline.
I also 2nd the idea of “what I remember it like” as 24 years is a long time and your body, reflexes, and experiences are going to jade your memory. I recently picked up a mostly race, but streetable 914 and drove it a bit on the streets, it’s been almost 20 years since I drove a 914, the biggest thing I forgot is how light the car is, and how short the wheelbase is, and with the suspension so tight I found myself getting airborne while navigating dips, and bumps. My DD, with a relatively sporty suspension that some would consider tight and rough, absorbs those same bumps with ease. Get your baseline set, then make adjustments from there. Nice car BTW, I really dig your rear fender flares. |
