my unstable 914.
A reprint: I could use some input from those who spend some time at 100+ in their 914s. At my first ever track day I found the car really started moving around (I mean REALLY) at these speeds. The back end would just move over a foot or so in both directions Toe? Aero? I'm clueless. My AX set-up slew em' in the twistys, but gave it back when I had to stop gassing it on the straights. -2 camber at both ends, 1/16 toe in both ends, 5 deg caster at front, LE spoiler in front, nuthin' in the rear, big stickeys at both ends. __________________ OK, git to it.

Hi JP,
I believe that a rear spoiler on the back of the car helps. I've got a small one (about 5" high) fiberglass job and with the spoiler and the rear valence off, it really helps settle the car down on the tracks. I run Thunderhill, Laguna Seca and Buttonwillow mostly. The small air spoiler in back really doesn't add much downforce, what it does is help the air that is circulating under the car break up, thereby keeping the car from lifting or floating back there. The same goes for taking off the valence. I know it made a difference for me. And with a built 2.7-6 in my car, I can get her going decent down the straights..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Just my experience... Bill |
