Cool...there is not much 912 left there. That is definitely one way to get bigger tires on an early car.

The fuel cell sitting up there is a little odd, IMO.

Maybe he doesn't use a pump and it is gravity fed? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

to use the design 90 rims, he'd need spacers, but most importantly, the design 90s are 16" rims, so tire selection is limited if running "trailer" tires, if running regular tires, you have to be concerned about the OD of the tires, not many people want the height of the trailer to be too high, makes loading/unloading a PITA....sure you can run some low profile tires, but you increase your chances of tire or rim damage from potholes and such.....

Everybody dumps on them, but I really like the D90 wheels (on the right cars). Is there something wrong with them, or is it just preference on looks?

Sorry to get this off thread a bit.

I test fitted a set of chrome 90's on a black stock bodied 914, they looked okay, but not good enough to keep, so I sold the rims....too flat in my opinion....a few weeks ago I saw a GT flared 914 with 90's and it looked terrible...they rims are nice and light so mabey depending on the color of the car, the color of the rims and how lowered the car is or something, they might look better....

Paul

A few years ago he had a webpage documenting the build. The comment "Not much 912 left" isn't quite right. It would be more accurate to say "There was very little 912 to start with." As I remember he built a tube-chassis from scratch and when it was done he dropped the 912 skin over the top of it. I don't mean that in a negative way. Some will object. I don't. I think it's cool. Notice the relationship between the body and the wheels. No way you could do that with the stock suspension. The fuel cell isn't mounted very high - the body is just mounted really low.

Yep, dual 2BBL's in the window.

He took the front hood off just before I shot the pics.
Nice custom suspension up front. He uses a 911 rear bar inverted.

What are "90" wheels?

The motor wasn't running so he never took it off the trailer. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)

Looks like the bottom of the cell is about at the centerline of the front axle. Sorta high for my tastes.
