Had my teener going on 6 months now. Several upgrades accomplished already:
swapped pedrinis to fuchs installed Porsche emblem Aiwa Cd Component speakers Ultimate air dam air dam and rear valence painted to match the car. I'm "ok" with the fuchs... but the car needs a set of 16s or 17s and to be dropped 1.5 inches. I want to do a 5-lug conversion.... I also want to keep the fenders stock. Is there a kit? A kit that includes everything I need for a 5-lug conversion. I have the money to do it right, just wanna make sure I get quality stuff. I'm going to go with an aftermarket wheel, so a nice brake upgrade is definately in the works. Any suggestions? Places? Companies? Parts? Help! |

I do OCCASIONALLY turn it past 4K RPM... Just not very often. The PO gave me reciepts to over $5500 rebuild costs just in the motor...... no nead to tear it up... I like it to run, every time I turn the key.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)) But..... I have turned it to over 6k on more than one occasion.. it did quite well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)) As for the pics... I hesitate because although everyone on this site seems to appreciate a properly "riced out" teener...... I catch endless amounts of shit when I mention changing anything from stock. Pics will be posted when the WHOLE project is complete. |

QUOTE(acox914 @ Nov 12 2003, 04:11 PM) bought a 72 T front suspension (that year so i could use my /4 adj. koni inserts).) Maybe a stupid question, but, can you use Koni for Boge insert, in a Koni strut? The reason I ask is I disassembled my Koni Struts and lo and behold inside were KYB inserts. Did KYB make a replacement for Koni struts, or did a DAPO go the cheap route? |

i had lots of questions like that too.
I called jason at paragon products. he knows his stuff. I used 914/4 koni inserts in my 914 boges until i put my 911 T front suspension on, then my /4 koni inserts will fit into the 911 boge struts. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)) Hey, the CO of my 2.0 has receipts for $6,800.00 for the engine. 4000 doesn't kill T-4s, lugging around in 2 and 5 do. Enjoy it more now, and you'll enjoy it longer. M |

I've spun mine more than the tach reads (a couple times) first time on accident, after that it was just putting the foot down too much. It spins really easy with this cam!
