914-x Time Trial Build Options

[Trackd]

Hi guys

I sold my previous track car and decided to buy a 914.

Key features that sold me on the 914
-old
-light
-rwd
-mid engine

My previous track car was a riot and difficult to class in different organizations. I bought the 914 because it will be easier to class due to the "simplicity" of the build. This will be primarily a track car however it will be street legal with creature comforts.


I am located in WNY, so old classics are scarce and the ones that did survive are on the verge in splitting in half or fully restored. Since I am an older college student, finding one in decent shape will be hard.

I found this guy in California and had it shipped to me.







While the pics looked great, I totally overpaid and it was a rusty bucket with a maco paint job. I bought this from Beverly hills car club and sales guy told me there was no rust and it was a solid car. What a load of of bs... It was also my fault for being naïve and putting faith in humanity. Next time ill go 3rd party and look at it person. Lesson learned. Moving on...

First order of business was to replace all the rust and fab a roll bar.

Suspension and Brakes


FRONT
While this thing will be light. I need pretty good brakes. I decided to reuse my big brake kit from my previous 2002 and retro fit the stoptech bbk to the porsche 911 strut. I will be also using MK60 4-way ABS with Motorsport programming.

The caliper is a c43 Stoptech unit that doesn't use any seals and its cnc'd. Weighs 4.2 pounds and one bolt pad changes. The rotor size 309mm x 32mm.

I started by modifying the top hats to fit the 911 mounting holes.

I forgot to take a pic of the rear setup but its using RSR Boxster adapters


SUSPENSION

I decided to go with RSR Re-Valved Bilstein struts 220/100D for the front and Bilstein Rear coil overs. I started with 250 spring rates front and rear. I also picked RSR front sway bar.

TIRES

After measuring I settled on maxilite reps 16x7 wrapped in 205s Nankang Ar-1 100TW
