Definately need to pump up to 40 psi or so. But you'll waste your tires ASAP. 914s don't "drift". The car is to balanced for that. Maybe if you had one of those cow catcher air-dams made of LEAD!

oh. I get it know. Its awanderin'? What is your tire pressure? For the street, on mine 32 is good. What kinda tires are you using? Tires can go out of round, I know. Ther are prolly some other defects that might cause a drifting effect... |

Check rear control arm bushings: jack rear up and see if you can get any play in the wheel.

just on the highway? as in "lane wandering"? the track of the 914 is just about perfectly wrong for the "ruts" that wear into the lanes. i experience this all the time. drive on the ridge in the center of the lane and one of the ones on either side.
