This kit is a great way to upgrade the overall feel of the car. It really works well and is very easy to install. Just takes about six hours. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)

Does that 6 hours include all the prep work, tar removal and top coating?

I have one inner long kit that has some paint blemishes - metal is fine - just the paint is a little odd in a couple of spots - $230 plus shipping takes it - first one to respond gets it.

I also have instructions now included - I would post it - but it is about 7M on my computer and I am on dail up.

Mark,

Email it to me. I'll host it on my site.

Yes and no (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

I took all the carpet, passenger seat and back pad out at home before I went to the friend's shop.

Time is: perimeter tar removal ( air chisel is that fast ), fitment, welding, grinding, priming, cleanup and driver seat back in.

would these be recommended on a street car, one that has had outer long repair?

or is this really just for handling rigidity? i.e would an auto-x car benefit more from this than a street car?

I do not as of now autocross - maybe in the future. I wanted something stiffer in my car. So I made one. I did not have a cross brace in my first one (the 73)and am currently putting one in my stalled project 74LE car.

The stiffness difference is noticeable.
But I am biased - read what thers have said and form your own opinions on what YOU want in your 914.

What cross-brace are you talking about, the piece that goes on the back firewall?

Yep - years ago I made one of these but witout the cross piece (one that goes across the back) - the longs on the 73 had been bondoed on the inside by the former po so that HAD to be fixed.

hmm, I think I'll drive it first and see if it feels "flexy" on corners... I'm only repairing 2 small places...

The kit is great, I concur with Trekkor on the install time. A full day to remove the interior, peel out enough tar and seam sealer, fit and weld.

Wayne, from the look of the lower section of your inner longs, this kit will help out a ton!

So its not clear to me. I'm in the process of building a leightweight AX and occasional track car. I will have a cage installed soon. Are there any benefits to using this if I have a well designed cage installed? For me will the 18 lbs of stiffness pay off on a 4 cyclinder car or is this kit primarily aimed at higher hp cars without cages? I guess if I'm going to add weight , adding it low on the car is good.

Grant, your car, running hoosiers will greatly benefit from the extra stiffening. The more stick that a car has, the more flex it recieves...

I'd say reinforcements, and a cage will be fine for you... You can always cut out 18# of sheet metal somewhere else!

I will be installing these in my car sometime this year.

If your cage will be tied into the suspension points, the inner long kit will be redundant. IMHO, it would be dead weight. It's primary reinforcement is the flex in the longs themselves (eliminated by a passenger compartment cage) and the connection at rear firewall (eliminated by tying into the rear console). So if your cage will be cockpit only, there may be some benefit to the inner long kit.

Of course, this is just in my head... I don't know ****.

Sale - Inner long kits - $240.00 – limited number of sets available.

My painter screwed up. He was supposed to only ecoat one set and instead he did my entire last batch. Normally this is a $20.00 add to the cost, but since I called him on it I got the extra sets painted for free. Now I am passing the savings onto you. $240.00 plus shipping. First come first serve.

Or - pay full price and get free prioity mail shipping in the continental US.
