A few weeks ago I joined this bbs, and asked some questions about 914 alignment and suspension set up.

I finally was able to pick up the car today ( no blizzards etc)

a little about the ex 914-2.0

Engine:
3.2L
Webers
tall manifolds
1 3/4 dia headers
supertraps
WebCam 20-21's
msd ignition

Trans:
MSX gears
open diff

Suspension:

Raised spindle RSR in front
Bilstien sport in rear
coil over all round
f/r sway bars
600# springs ( sounds way heavy for this car, I havent been able to verify this though)

Brakes:

from an '87 carerra ( I have turbo calipers soon to go on )

I did a walk around with a smart camber

Front 2.0 neg

Rear 1.8 neg

I already think the car is over sprung, but until I know for sure what springs it has, and drive it a few laps , Ill leave things be for now

how do you attach multiple?

ok another

another

You don't.....

Nice! Keep the pics coming.

oops

and another

car needs some 1" spacers and fatter rubber.

I have 7&9 fuchs

Im thinking of using the 8" rear as my front, and my 9" as the rear with 245s in front and maybe 315s in the rear, thats if I can mount a 315 on a 9

Motor pic, motor pic, motor pic ........

LOL how the heck do you take a pic of the 3.2 stuffed in a 914?

when I get it up on a lift ill take some shots..

Digital, Dood.....just point & shoot.

my engines not all red like that just a black shroud, and watershields.... with some unkept wires LOL



its not a pretty boy engine compartment. but a 3.2 lives there

Thanks TimT JP now has a new handle PRETTY BOY, where a 2.7 lives.
Craig back from sunny PS.

TimT,

Do you really think you can put 315's on 9's. That sounds like a bad idea to me. 10's or 11's sound more like 315 sizes.

Let me know if you try I'd like to see the results.

Nice Car!!

Very cool!....what an engine in the car! TEST DRIVE!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! 315's on 9's seem a little excessive...try 10's or 295s on a 9

nice

Nice looking car Tim. Weren't you just looking for a 914 roller six months ago?

Yes I was looking for a roller recently.. I was talking with MJHanna about his roller... I was about to buy his car
Then a car came on the market that I was familiar with.

The car I bought is a car im very familiar with, my first PCA DE instructor owns (owned) it.. I have been at the track for years and have seen this cars, maintenance and development. I have driven this car, and been a passenger many times.


MJ Hannas car would have been cool to buy as a roller, but then I would have to get it to NY from Dallas

The car I just bought was about 15 mile from my house

I didnt only get a car I got "spares"

factory workshop manual
2 yokohamas
2 spare gearboxes
a bunch of CV joints and axles
a 916 front clip

etc

Now I can still keep my track skills honed, while I finish my 911 project...

Hehehe my first drive in this car ( when I am the owner) is april 19th at Pocono , ill have my camcorder hooked up and functioning..and will post it..
