Do you have bars going to the rear?

Not yet. At the time, i wasn't sure which clubs i would end up running with and most stockish classes don't allow you to tie the cage to the rear shock towers.

Now that i'm running in GT2/GTL, it doesn't matter anymore, i'm already waaaaay outclassed ...

Any news on this thread (car?)
What are the current Specs?
Anyone else attemped with Honda motor?

I'm currently finishing up a Suabru swap in the 914, just curious how does the High Rev motor work in the 914 with 901 tanny?

Car is pretty much finished and driven often. Car is exhilarating to drive.

I built a short ratio tranny for the car, but I think it would do fine with stock gears.

Had thoughts of putting it up for sale to start building another one.

Once it warms up again. Car is pretty much parked for the winter. Fitting some new seats and redoing the throttle cable at the moment. Also adding a few kill switches so I can leave it parked without worry since there's no door glass and the tops always off.

Any updates on the project? Would love to see a video or more photos.

I have an F22C with transmission from an 04 that's sitting in my garage. Would be awesome to put it into a 914.

This build no longer belongs in the forum as the project scope has changed from track car to street car so I can enjoy it more often. Having said that I'm in the process of redoing the paint scheme to make the car more of a sleeper. The type r badge has been relocated to the dash and the rear now displays the standard 914 badge. Paint work will be completed this week.
Also regearing the transmission. 3rd and 4th will remain short but 5th will go back to stock for highway cruising. Also replacing the back glass with lexan and losing the front trunk springs in favor of a hood stay as further weight reduction measures. Will post new pictures soon. Will try to capture some video as well.

Car will need to see at least one track day to sort out the rear spring rates.

After this I still need to be paint the trunks and relocate the switches to the left side of the dash. Never ending project, but I enjoy it.

Although there isn't much I would change If I were to build another, I am offering the car for sale as I could use the money and would start another.
