I lowered my car, perhaps too much, and my measurements reveal a height of 45 1/2" from the ground to the highest point of the roof. I took a 6' level and rested it on the roof...leveled it and measured from the floor up to the bottom of the level. By eye it looked like 44"...but the level doesn't lie. What are some measurements from other 914 owners? My car is a 76 with stock wheels & tires. My V-8 car is an inch taller due to the 18" wheels & tires.

58"

Jackstands are not a permanent part of a 914.

Hey Todd, I didn't ask how tall you are...I'm asking about your car. You actually look a bit taller than 58".

measure from the floor to the fender lip on the front...22.5-24.75 (depends upon my mood and the tires)

From there, measure from the bottom of the long at the front and at the rear ...front is 1/4 lower than the rear in the summer for autox...and in the winter for traction front is 3/8 higher than the rear..

What roof??

I got mine like your 45 inches

I would have to say that some of the race cars have an advantage as they can get closer to the snubers in the front without interferring with the suspention.
Measure it at the top of the targa bar and see if anyone can best Mr Woodberry.

Well, ALL the parts are removable... just look at mine

I was going to say... isn't this like asking "who has the shortest jackstands?"

41" to the rollbar if I remember correctly.Click to view attachment

I just measured 41" to the top of the rollbar chrome. You got to be lower!

This car is from Northern NJ I believe and is pretty low.

BUT -- This guy has everyone beat.

He must hang around the watercooled VW guys too much.

Just measured 41 1/2" to the top of the roll cage. 40 1/2" to the top of the targa bar. The pinch weld on the long is 2 1/2" off the ground.

The dude in the white car wins. Even getting lower daily at the door jams

That in VW terms is a "Hood Ride"

I watched as an ant hit its head on the bottom of Dan Thompson's ex-914...

I'm betting that when done, Rich's car will be. If he goes with the " hood ride " stance along with all the chopping he's doing to the body he will have one low mofo

I am honestly considering bags.....

Just cause when you park....you can drop it.
Not sure how bags would do at an autox though....

Rich

you guys are going about this wrong
you need to chop the top and rake the windshield to win this competition:



better yet, how about the windshield on the orange car?

(same owner for both cars... both currently for sale)

...thats b-U-R-Y.

My targa bar is at 42" AFF.

Now I have a goal. Carerror needs to be as close to 42 at the targa bar as I can get it.

This one has to be a contender.............

That's definitely the lowest 914 I've seen!

How much for the orange car. I might be interested.

I think with a little money, I can resurrect that one.....

I have to call on myself....that one is FUCH'D....
