If you could plan and build a Streetable 914, aka what options go into the ideal build Options

[Jay Wellwood]

Lurker, enthusiast, avid planner looking for what you would (or did) opt for if you had, say, 3 years to plan ahead and build a 914...

• Big 2.2l Raby Style or 6?
• Fuel Injection with optimized tune (MS, VEMS, ?)
• Conversion to 5 lug with later style 4 pot calipers
• Steel flares ('nuff said)
• Transmission - 901 vs 915?
• Factory A/C?

What are the features/performance you would (or did you) opt for?

I'd leave that car as is, sways front is a must, good shocks, engine and mechanicals sorted.

But then I'm a 5-bolt six snob (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Honestly if you want a 5-bolt, flares, big engine or /6 that's what I'd be looking for. Even with today's prices a sorted built /6 (or big T4) will cost less than building a /6.

My 914 1.8 is a narrow body, now a 3.0 six with fuchs. Here's my engine build thread, the last few pages show the 5- bolt and suspension build.
