Well, after 10 months of not being able to drive my car, it is finally back on the road again! I took the car down in January to update the suspension: new poly bushings, koni yellow's on all four corners, fully adj perch with 175 springs in the rear, 22mm torsions, a 22mm welt sway bar with the adj droplinks, replacing the prop valve with the "T", and adding a fully adj prop valve.
I finished most of this by some time in feb, however, I had to put the car away and spend all of march through september getting married, and starting my shop. So, in the last couple of months I fixed a big rust hole so I could install my race seat finally, I also finally installed my front oil cooler, and I finally got the car aligned after all that suspension work. So, without further blathering on, here are the pics of my project...it may not be pretty , but it sure is fun: gotta have the 914club sticker... Attached thumbnail(s)

Racer: The lines are a made from several layers of rubber and cloth weave, they are sold by aeroquip, and use barb fittings to attach to the AN lines...I think they have the same pressure ratings as the braided lines, but are much cheaper. I know alot of people don't like to use them, but I am a cheap bastard, and I had talked to several people who had/are using them with great success.
vsg914: I would love to return the favor, riding in your car motivated me to get back home and get this car back on the road. Mark: I definately plan on hitting the track in the Jan/Feb time frame, looks like there are lots of options! Fiid: Right now I am not worrying about the hot air, but I think I will end up cutting holes into the wheel wells like the patrick motorsports setup (I don't want the air to go under the car) ... Also, I am going to make a shield for that hose...probably tomorrow night, I just havent had time to yet. 3d914: I have heard some good things about Phoenix...maybe after we get that 2 car enclosed trailer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Tony (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dance.gif) |
