now for the prep work, the car has 911 brakes on all 4 corners, out of a '85 carrera.
i did rebuild the calipers about 6 month ago and noticed that the front rotors were pretty chewed up, so i got some new rotors that i put in today. i also got longer wheel studs so i could run some spacers for my street wheels. i needed an extra 1 1/4" and i *thought* i would be fine with 75mm studs ... well, turns out, that wasn't enough. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) i'll be ordering 100mm studs for the front pretty soon. with the 75mm studs, i could only add about 3/4" of spacer before i ran out of thread, which is 1/2" short of my goal ... here are the pics (at McMarks shop in napa) .... old rotors and studs: Attached image(s) |

still way too much space between the tire and the fender, at least 1/2" ...
btw. this is for the street wheels. the track wheels, 9" GoodYear R250 Schlicks, fit perfectly with just a 1/4" spacer! Attached image(s) |

i'll be back @ marks shop tomorrow to put in the rear spings and, if there's enough time, weld in the brackets for the rear sway bar and get it hooked up ...

Are you talking about a gas tank? Talk to me tomorrow about that.
Oh, and let's paint your wheel wells black. No more orange highlights. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) and also yes on the wheel wells, i already did that in the front, need to do that in the rear too ...

My member number is no coincidence. Group: Members Posts: 3,154 Joined: 16-December 05 From: Denver, CO Member No.: 5,280 Region Association: Rocky Mountains |
Did the engine come with the dual 6 distributer set up with the vee belt running one of them, or did it come with an actual 12 spark distributer?
Just curious. |
