What? No replies?
Look. Horizontal drop links do absolutely nothing. The bushing brackets are about 2" too far aft. It seems typical of the type of person who puts an American V8 in a 914. They're looking for 1/4 mile performance, while having no understanding of how a sports car actually works. Have a look at the white outlines: Attached image(s) ![]() |

Have a look at the white outlines: That's a sharp eye Joe, and I do agree that the installation of the sway bar is wrong. Now, not to kindle an arguement, but that sway bar WILL work however, just in a significantly reduced range of motion (and it may be so significantly reduced, that is is useless). He could fix that by installing longer links, or moving the pivot point forward as you say. Good call on the CV boots not being protected well. He DID have the awareness however to understand that shielding was important, he just lacked your infrared-eye (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It's amazing how the variety of opinions on V8 Cars clash/crash/come together in this thread. I think people in general appreciate evidence of hard work, and skilled hands. The car has imperfections still, but remember, the motivation to modify (in the eye of the beholder) is the individuals' perception of imperfection (lack of power) and their quest to fix that. I find looking at and comparing cars like this fun because of the creativity and imagination of the builder and will always welcome posts like this. |
