I hope it's okay to mention this info below in the garage - I will put an ad in our classifieds and hope like hell that a 914 club member gets this car.
Many of you know this car and the amount of effort I have put into it over the last three years I've owned it (I won't even mention the amount of money). The ONLY SIGNIFICANT thing this car needs is paint.
It would also be a very good candidate for a 6, SBC, or suby conversion since it has ALL the important upgrades (and engine is worth 2k).
As much as I hate to sell this car, I must. I am asking 7k and will entertain all offers.
It is a very quick and competitive car to drive. Here is why:
FRONT SUSPENSION
1970 911S front suspension
19mm torsion bars
Turbo Tie Rods
New steering box
Koni Sports adjustable shocks
Bump steer kit
Weltmeister 22mm adjustable swaybar
REAR SUSPENSION
Factory swaybar with Weltmeister bushings (currently off car)
Weltmeister rear body stiffening kit
Poly bushings fitted in trailing arms (05)
250 lb coil overs
Koni Sports adjustable shocks
ALIGNMENT/WEIGHT
Fully documented car alignment including camber, caster & toe.
Full car alignment & corner balanced last month. A perfect 50% cross reading attained for corner balance. Car weighs 1948 lbs with 3 gal fuel.
BRAKES
911S alloy calipers & rotors (new set is $5k)
Stainless steel brake lines
19mm master cylinder
Stock rear brakes with working parking brake
ATE blue fluid
All new brake pads fitted last year
WHEELS/TIRES
5-Lug conversion
Porsche Fuchs 16X7 all around (very clean but needs polish/paint)
Brand new Hankook RS-2's 505/50's
(just purchased wheels & tires for $1k)
ENGINE
2.0 purchased from professional Saab mechanic that tracks a 914 at Hallet Motorway. It came out of his track car (he's putting in a Saab turbo). It has two seasons on the bottom end. One season on the Euro P/C's with freshly built heads. We calculated 15 hrs of running per season. For all practical purposes, this is a new engine. You do the math. The head tech said there has been no welding on the heads and are near perfect.
It was fitted with an 8 quart oil cooler (he's a swepco distributor) and he said it has never run hot. I believe him because I'm running a stock oil cooler and on a 95 degree day it will not over heat in traffic, at the AX or on the highway. Typical temps for me in hot weather this summer has been 190's oil, 275 head temps and 1200 EGT. And this is with the cooling flaps halfway closed! This engine runs cool!
I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country.
ENGINE FEATURES/UPGRADES
Euro P/C's (8.5/1 comp)
Web cam (for carbs)
Polished rods
Balanced
Galley plugs done
Time certs installed for exhaust studs
Heavy duty oil pump (oil pressure runs 60-80 lbs)
hi-rev 911 starter motor
New motor mounts
Valvoline Racing Oil change EVERY 1500 miles.
Valves adjusted EVERY 3000 miles.
The valve train is stock and revs freely to 6k plus. I keep the adjustable rev limiter at 58000rpms. I estimate it to have around 105hp at the rear wheels. My friends 2.2 litre six just barely pulls it in a straight.
It has 44 IDF Webers purchased new two years ago.
They are fitted with the good hex bar linkage with 32mm chokes, f11 emulsion tubes, 175 air correction, 55 idles and 135 mains. K&N style air filters with Morphrenspectra fiberglass rain bonnets.
Electrical is Mallory Uni-lite distributor, Mallory Hy-fire digital box with built-in adjustable rev limiter (mounted in the trunk), and has a Mallory Fire Coil.
The engine tin is freshly powdercoated in black with new sealing rubber all around.
The exhaust is Kerry Hunter headers with Supertrapp muffler. Together they sound great and are very lightweight. I also have original stock backdated HE's along with a Bursch muffler.
BATTERY & FUEL TANK
The battery has been fitted in the front trunk.
Electrical cut off switch in engine bay
The fuel tank was boiled and POR treated including their sealer and outside sprayed with their engine satin black. Looks brand new.
TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH
Total rebuild two years ago. All new syncros including new slider gears for first & 2nd. It has a flipped 5th from another tranny for 3rd gear, which provides a very close ratio from 2nd to 3rd. No gear grinding. Shifts smoothly into 1st at 14mph.
New flywheel, 911 clutch, pressure plate & throwout bearing last year
I have re-built both inner CV's and one outer CV.
