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?


Pic for Attention-

[Chris914n6]

I've already got a rolling chassis so...

• strip & repaint factory Metallic Gold
• stock 2.0L FI (have)
• drilled 5 lug to use 15x7 Cookie Cutters (have), sticky summer tires
• rolled fenders in rear
• stock trans (have) -- no benefit to the 915
• A/C system of my design
• sway bars
• black or painted trim -- chrome is just too much bling for the color
• new interior & weatherstrip

On the 75 I've owned since 91, I've swapped everything but the paint (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Every time I start thinking 17"+ rims would look good on a 914 I see a pic like this and it makes me even more happy with my 15" fuchs.

swap the wheels for 15's or16's, adjust the stance and your back in business.

I was thinking it was the flares mounted too high on this car, not the wheels
