I will be selling the 4 lug fuchs shortly I am sure.
Half way done on the 5 lug conversion. Drove up to AA today and grabbed the front bearings and what not. Waiting on the 2nd set of wheels to get here, but I had to get the old front tires off so I could drive it. What do you think? (IMG:http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk392/phillipkj/HPIM1281.jpg) |

It's a personal thing I know but I would lower it by at least an inch.
Any, picturs of the interior? I really like the beige/brown ones. Jon |

New rotors, fresh or at least decent condition calipers and Porterfield R4 pads and that thing will stop like you won't believe. Nice car.

Jon Jon, Yeah I plan on taking it down a little bit, I had been under long enough yesterday. I got a new carpet set so some interior pics will follow. Thanks Phillip |

It's actually a royal blast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) to bomb around town in a 914 without worrying about scraping curbs and speed bumps. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Dash will be getting re done so it is apart right now. I did the carpet kit this week.
I think this is as low as I will go for the time being. (IMG:http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk392/phillipkj/5lug4.jpg) (IMG:http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk392/phillipkj/int1.jpg) |

I would never had thought that the tan seats and grey carpet would look so good.
