Did a quick and dirty check to see how flexy my frame is. Just stuck a laser pointer on the rear fender with a magnet and aimed it at a notecard taped to the front fender. Marked the position of the dot, then jacked the wheels off the ground and marked the position of the dot again.
Have nothing to compare it to, but will check this in the future after some restoration work. If anyone is game to try this, it would be interesting to compare.    |

914's are kewl Group: Members Posts: 1,776 Joined: 6-June 03 From: San Ramon, CA Member No.: 791 Region Association: Northern California |
I think that unless you have stripped your 914 down, got all the rust out, and added some chassis stiffening then it is going to be a bit flexy.
Probably some guys who track their cars can talk about how flexy the car can be unmodified. For street cars, probably doesn't matter as much... |
