You are building my dream car. I did not realize the 901 transmission could keep up with the 3.2.

Some will argue that it won't/shouldn't. I don't plan on putting the car on the track so I think I'll be fine. If not, I'll step up when needed.

The plan is Fuchs, like your avatar. Size still to be determined. I plan to go 100% polished or chrome. BLING! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)


Nice! I'd go with polished over chrome... Always have to worry about chipping/flaking etc. But thats just my opinion.

I'm running 16x6 with 205/55-16 (very close to stock rolling diameter) on all corners. 225s will fit on 7's but you may need to roll the lips or pull the fenders a bit.

Anyways, I'm enjoying the progress. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)


do not chrome fuchs please....

search on pelican... it kinda weakens the wheel IIRC, and they will always flake later on.

hit me up for a possible deal at al reeds....

Trust me, you'll be happier with polished. It looks like the bling bling chrome and you won't have to hassle with chrome flaking. Ask me how I know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I love Cookies on a 914. They fit on Mike's car, but the rotors are not yet installed. It's going to be TIGHT. The cool thing about 914s is that if the tire fits, it fits. If you can only get a piece of paper between the fender and the tire, that's cool, it fits.

I have some reservation that these will fit with the rotors installed.

More to follow.....

Are you really using those valve cover gaskets? I tried those once and went back to the stock type valve cover gaskets. I had troubles with them wanting to squish out and not feeling comfortable that I had the nuts tight enough.

You like them?
