I was considering on selling the 914, but now i'm more and more turning towards the idea of making it a racer.

I have some clues about the exterior, but i don't really know how to threat the interior.
I'm thinking of going really basic: no carpetting, bucket seats, ...

Blank points are: dashboard.

Can you show some pics of racing interiors?

Depends on what class you wish to compete in. Some classes allow complete interior gutting, others require stock pieces to remain.

Have a look at the world & british touring car interiors they retain a stock dashboard but everything else is gone.

What Trev told you about building to the rules of which class you want to race in is really important. In most clubs a non stock dash puts you in with highly modified cars. I don't have a pic of my dash on this computer, I will post one tonight, it's a modified stock.

Actually, i will not perform in any race class whatsoever. It will be used for weekends out, 99% street use. So the looks have priority over the class (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That would be my pic, spartan yet comfortable while still retaining the classic 914 interior architecture.

Don't tell anyone but they are home made. My wife was a pattern maker at a furniture company for about 10 years, and after I took factory shells, cut them apart, and extended the bolsters with fiberglass, and cut holes through for belts and shoulder harnesses and submarine belt, she upholstered them with some automobile cloth.
So I guess they are flesburg seats.

They really do work well on the track at DE events, no slipping and sliding around at all. No more sore thighs or lower back from trying to hold yourself "on" the seat. Stock 914 seats are ok on the road, but pretty inadequate at track events.

By the way, they have been reupholstered one time, were first made in about 92, after the 3.2 engine and 9 inch wheels.

Here's a pic of my 914, cage is a bit much, i dont really drive it on the street anyway.

A bit rough in comparison to others, but I like it. Also the minimalist angle, with the exception of the gaues. A man can never have too many gauges. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
