I tried the search but I couldn't quite find the info I was looking for so I'm putting up my first thread.
I'm plannin got use my 75 914 2 liter for HPDE and lapping days (I currently instruct in a 350Z) but I'm unsure about what the car needs to have done to it to make it track worthy. I'm not looking to race or be particularly fast, I just want to make sure the car will be reliable and safe. The car already has weltmeister autocross rear springs, koni shocks, and (I believe) the weltmeister front sway bar. I'm planning to upgrade to BMW 2002 front brakes and remove the factory porportioning valve (to replaced with a driver adjustable one) and to fix some rust (of course). Beyond that, what do I need for the track? Do I need a deep sump, oil cooler, stiffening kit, roll cage? I'd love to do everything to the car but my budget is pretty tight (buying a house) so like I said before, I'm just trying to make the car safe and reliable. Any sage advice would be much appreciated. |
