The Official 914 World 3 Rotor 914 Build Thread, Otherwise known as round and round we go...... Options

[soloracer]

Well there has finally been some progress made on my car so I thought I would start a build thread about it for those who are interested. I'll try to keep it updated as I go along.

I'll start off with an introduction to the project for those who don't already know. I bought a 914 with a Sheridan Motorsports wide body in an E-bay auction. The car was being set up for a Porsche 6 to be used on the track. It came with the wide body, a 915 transmission (mag case) that was converted to side shifter with a Vellios kit and the ring and pinion had been flipped. The front suspension is supposed to be from a 911 - don't know the year yet - and the car has a brand new set of Kinesis rims that appear to be 17x12 in the back and 17x10 in the front. Also included were a set of new tires 315's in the back and 285's in the front. The previous owner also had put a front mount oil cooler and a somewhat poorly welded roll cage.

Here are some pictures of the car:

I had a chance to ride in a 914 powered by a stock 13B connected to a 901 and it was great. The characteristics of the engine worked very nicely with the 901 gearing. It really made me think twice about my 914s motivation.

I really like the sound of the yellow RX racer in the link above. You are really going to have a cool ride.
