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 have three builds going
Narrowest car has hand formed all metal flares. It will have 7 inch panasports with non vented BMW calipers, coil overs, lightened where ever possible. Front sway bar with powder coated suspension parts and boxed rear arms. Fresh bushings and bearings. Maybe FG lids if the GB goes through. Side shift. Low mileage 1.8 with carbs and an exhaust system. Minimal interior.
Leave paint and big motor to the next owner. This one will be sold to finance other builds.

Next car has metal GT flares FG lids. 7&9 American mags. Twin plug 2.0 w/906 cams and 46mm Weber’s. Side shift. Vented BMW calipers. Sway bar in the front. Stiffening kit and added bars here and there. Keeper

Widest car had an old IMSA body kit from Wayne Baker. It will get a 2.65liter engine with side shift. Wide wheels unknown at this point. Gutted interior. Full lights and street license. Boxed arms raised suspension points stiffening kits. Roll cage. Street and race legal.
Will be sold too after we have some fun with it.
