Today was the first chance that I could really dig into the 914 today. First order of business was to tackle the sagging rear springs and the totally rusted out original exhaust.
The exhaust was surprisingly easy to remove considering its age. Now Ive ran into a problem with its replacement. I got a Bursch that I think is wrong because its tail pipe misses the cutout by a good 4-5 inches. Do I have to bend the pipe ? As for the springs. I was able to remove the pass side wheel no problem and was shocked to find very dirty Koni reds on the car. Unfortunately its no good though and the have to be replaced as well. Do you guys like Bilstein is a good replacement ? Id love konis but there so freakin costly. Heres the BIG problem we cannot get one lug bolt off the drivers side. We broke 3 sockets and tried using an electric impact. One pull of the lug wrench actually put my helper right through the dry wall in my garage. Please give advice for me on this. Overall working on this car was a blast ! |
