I am looking at picking up a 914 and turning it into a track/autocross car. My questions are high level. If you can assist with any or all any assistance is appreciated.
Body Fenders - Plan to go wide body to fit larger tires, recommendations/pros/cons ? Metal/fiberglass? Floor Pans - they don't look bad, but I saw somewhere that you can replace them with deeper ones for sitting lower, i'm tall so every inch counts. Braces/stiffing - full cage or something in the rear tied into shock towers and something in the front tied to shock towers roll cage - needed? recommended? custom or weld in off the shelf? Suspension Front Hubs - do you upgrade replace these, someone told me swap with 911 to get 5 lug? Coil Overs at the corners? recommendations? Sway Bars? Torsion Bars? Upgrade rack and pinion? Fuel system Fuel Tank - Assume being a 50 year old car to redo the fuel system and get a fuel cell with integrated fuel pump and braided lines, any recommendations? Transmission Keep or upgrade from a 911 or similar to handle more power? Hoping to get 300+ in the motor Braking If I upgrade to 5 lug, then i assume there is a prefered brake upgrade from a 911 for more stopping power Steering Wheel Its not in the center of the driver seat, have people moved it to be more centered? Dash if I move the steering wheel i assume this gets redone with new gauges etc. Front lights i'm thinking or relocating to the bumper and getting a solid frunk with no holes for lights. Cleaner looking Targa top I would assume you can't race with this on so do people ditch it altogether? Motor swap a 6 or go nuts and do an LS? Thanks, |
