914 for racing and what would you do ? Options

[914GTSTI]

Hi all. Back at it. Well I never stopped just had life got in the way.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. 73 man that is old. LOL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

I have been rethinking my build. I have a 72 (914) that has some rust but nothing like I have seen. Most of it is the outer jack point. Have the parts and just need to finish the install. The other is the passenger side front outer floor. Think I will just build a patch panel.

Going to stay with my plan to go with the EZ30R and a Subaru MT5. I will build a cradle for the motor and trans. Ign. will be Mega 3 V3/3.57 that I have. (for a long time)

Body plan is to add (still) the GT flares for the body. Add a roll bar system. Add the cooling system. Something like the Renegade system. Also have been thinking about the Renegade brake system for the stock 914 front uprights . A little price but it may be a way to go ?

Back to the "what would do ? "
I have a Granddaughter (17) who is asking about going racing. Well at least High Performance Driving . Like Pro-Autosports that I have raced with in my past.

This has me thinking about a car for her ( and maybe me ) to train with. Think it time to change my roll to be more a crew chief than a racer.
The car will also be a street able car .

So, its a 52 year old base car. What, is your experience would be the things (system) that you would add ? I know this is a BIG question . Maybe I just need to let it go ? I feel 23 but I'm not.

So thanks for the input and your help.

Randy

How fast can you build it, thing about 17 year olds is that you may only have their attention for a short period, so either involve her with the build, or get something already built for your purposes.
