If you didn't see elsewhere this is a 1970 914 w/ a 327 and 901 transmission. I purchased the car from "Bullit" and here is some info I gotten thus far. The wiring harness is out of a '73; the front end is off a 911 but I forget which year w/ "M" calipers; Trailing arms have some of Foley's reinforcement kit; Engman inner stiffener kit was installed; Griffen radiator;window regulators from a '73; stock 914 1/2 shafts and a lot more which I'll note later.
I'm presently working on the rear brakes and trailing arms and have 2 questions. What is the torque valve for the nut that my torque wrench is attached to; 108 ft lb or 50 ft lb? The manual says 50 for "Control arm bearing/body" and 108 ft lbs for the "Control arm bearing/control arm". Not sure which is which! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

About a million years ago I was at Irwindale raceway with my V8 914.
We called it an autocross but we ran continuous laps for 10 or 15 minutes at a time, it was a blast. IIRC there were around 60 cars entered and at least 10 full on instructors running. I ended up 6th overall which is really saying something considering my lack of go-fast skilz. One of the hot shots came up to me inbetween sessions and asked how I was able to turn such fast times with my clutch slipping so bad. I 'splained to him that weren't my clutch, it was my back tiars spinning out of every corner (channeling JP there for a second). I could light em up from one corner to the next and rotate that little car with my right foot. That darn 800 cfm quadrajet made more noise than the exhaust did. 200# rear springs, stock front sway bar, kuhmo victoracers on the back and hard as a rock Michelins on the front was the perfect balance. |
