My car is pretty close to the way it should be. Good looking and a DE sleeper. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) The front and rear spoilers will be added soon and I'm hoping that will increase stability at 130mph. I'm changing from 205/16 sevens all around to 225/16 seven in the front and 245/16 nines in the rear. It's a great feeling to be very competitve with 911 turbos.

im hoping i can have a car that i keep upgrading. Usually i get a car, fix it up, then im done and i sell it and move on. Hopefully i can keep getting better and better and not get burnt out. Im doing alot of work now to make it nice, but if i really like it , itll most likely get redone in five years or so when i have a house, garage etc. of my own. Then itll get done completely right. W/ maybe a six or ??? Right now itll be my show/autox car that is fun to drive when its nice.

eventually, i want to make out of mine a 1700#, 150hp /4, street/AX car. light DE/TT duty. I really want a clean, super-light car with a spartan but very well-covered interior -- no stereo, no speakers, no creature comforts. i want a car that still looks retro and historic, but which is all about the art of DRIVING, and that's it. slightly pulled fenders for some 215's -- gotta keep the narrow-fendered look. basically, the driving equivalent of a 70's-version 550.
don't want to race a 914 -- rather get a spec-miata or sim. for big track duty. |

a poor man's 550 spyder!! lol
i may buy/build a replica 550 one day, but i really do like the 70's design, the targa top, etc. the thing is, it's got to be nicely done, clean, VERY SIMPLE, and at least token-istically period correct. but i'm already on the right path... I really respect what 914RS is doing. looks like the ultimate /6 street car, totally custom -- the way HE wants it. |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Mine is going to be a stout sleeper--and daily driven--
No track duty at all--but I live in Miami--so every day is track day around here-- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) Killer stereo--killer interior--well upgraded sus and brakes--and everything is new or refurbished by myself--so I know what it is and what it is all about and when in the next 30 years what I will NEED to replace-- (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) Paint is not good--I don't paint--but I did this one---it is not bad, but not great--just right for the unknowing,, for knocking out the rice burner next to me stop light to stop light..

I'm looking to build a classic street restoration, with a ton of detail. I want it to be a 914 trophy car... but you won't see me at a concours,
