HI all, when my new car gets here I want to go thru it for safety upgrades and eliminate as many roadside breakdown possibilities. It has led a sheltered life, a 2.0. 74 with a lot of great options (less a/c which is ok by me).It has not been driven a lot in the past couple of years.
I was thinking: 1. It has all the original red & green hoses in the engine compartment. Replace all that stuff? 2. Fuel lines replace with SS kit. (who sells?) at same time take out tank & clean it & get new fuel filter. Is there a recommended upgrade filter? 3. Move fuel pump to front. (Could not find a how to type article, any help appreciated) Any recommended upgrade pump? 4. Clutch cable 5. Fan belt 6. Check brake parts & replace/rebuild as necessary. I want to keep the car pretty much stock so not looking for big brake upgrades or such. But should I use a bigger Mastery cylinder like the one on the early 911? Any other recommendations appreciated. I've been reading up on the car via a number of threads here & thru the Haynes shop book. Oh yeah, any other 914 guys/guru's in the Augusta,GA area or in nearby SC or other places reasonably close by? Couldnt figure how to search the memebr list by area. Thanks, George |
