I would share my project with the world since I enjoy seeing what others have posted. The 914world has been big help in sourcing info, parts, and the car itself.
I thought about building this car for years, and finally decided to act on it. Recomendations and comments are welcome. Thanks, Michael Project Scope Body: 1973 narrow bodied w/ fiberglass bumpers Engine: Honda S2000 F20C (250 ps @ 8200 rpm) Transmission: Stock Front Suspension: 87 911 front end w/ Bilstein Sports, 22 sway bar Rear Suspension 250 lb springs on bilstein sports, poly bushings Wheels: 15x7 with R compound Brakes: 87 911 Carrera F&R This is how it looked when I first got it. Brought this home from Southern Caifornia. The transport company rolled it up in the yard since it had no brakes. Repaired hell hole Reinforced rear suspension console Removed sound deadening from the floor and prepping for POR15 Rear fiberglass bumper fitted I hope to be installing the drivetrain in September, that is if Murphy's law quits getting me. The flywheel from KEP is several thousands too small to fit on the crankshaft so I need to get that resolved first. |

Not much progress in the past month. Been focusing on getting my Civic ready road Road Atlanta March 5,6 with the BMWCCA and getting my spare 914 chassis ready for sale (wifes request). Things I have completed: 1) Inlet ducting for the radiator 2) Support bracket for the exhaust system 3) Complete Wiring (painless 8 circuit kit) 4) Custom throttle cable Things in Progress: 1) Vehicle Speed sensor (VSS) - Working on buidling a black box circuit to simulate the VSS signal for the ECU. (needed for VTEC to engage) 2) Just ordered a Corbeau Clubman seat that will need to be installed. Next weekends project. 3) Redo the soft fuel line install. Switching over to 30R9. Still trying to figure out the best orientation for the tank nipples to keep the excess line from kinking. I should be able to make the first attemp at firing it up in about 2 weeks. I still need to find a good used set of 225/45-15 toyo's for my 15x7,8 Fuchs. Anxiuous to get those on the car. Everyone who has seen the car comments on how nice red valve cover looks below the black GT engine lid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Michael |
