Not running huge tires but 2.7 rs engine and close gears- tires will likely be sticky 205's in the future but on 15x6's with 195's at the moment. Car weight- 970kg (2138lbs.)
Personally it looks a bit questionable but I'm new 914's. Could I use this for a while with plans to upgrade. Should I consider fully reinforcing both arms with this set up? Pete   |

That is strange damage. Caught the curb on the inside of the wheel ? Nice protection for the oil tank |
