well, my stock front suspension needs to be rebuilt. so i figure what the heck why not. my plan is to accumulate parts in advance. i talked to german auto dismantlers (i think that was them) and asked for a price on an early 911 front suspension. i was quoted 200 for a "rough one". i need to buy Torsion bars and shocks as it is, so why not put that money into a "rough" 911 front. i figure i dont need used struts and stuff, just the brakes and rotors....ill replace t bars, and shox
what i need to know is: *someone said early 911 struts are interchangeable with 914's? is this so? if so: ill put new struts in my car now, and carry them over to the 911 front at the time of install/switch * how much are my 2.o liter fuchs alloys worth? original, no curb rash on most. have 5 of them *911 fuchs go for about 100-125 apiece *what size wheels should i look for, on my stock fendered 914. 15x6? 16x6? *how hard is it to restud stub axles? cost? *this front setup will give me 911 M calipers w/ vented discs right? * i need to use 914-6 rear dics right? the only downside to this conversion other than cost is, my rotors and brakes are all redone as of last year.

and.....my uncle has a prts car that has a 2.0 and fuchs alloys and all. ill offer him 500 for it, then part it out and make some dough! (reason i know he will take that is because- technically it is already sold. a long lost friend of his gave him 500 for it like 10 years ago.....and has yet to claim it....i figure, ill mail the guy a check!)
also, i could take the stub axles out of the parts car and have them restudded, and have no turn around time on the conversion! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |
