Ok so I am upgrading to a 911 suspension (Seperate Thread http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=87337 ). Then I hear brake caliper bolt spacing 3.5 vs 3.0. So (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) WTF is 3" vs 3.5" Am I making a mistake going with 3.0 vs 3.5? I really don’t understand the issues. Do I care?
Thanks for real world opinions! Regards, James |

Sorry, for the delay. Ever notice how working for a living gets in the way of having fun? What is my intended use for the vehicle? Kind of what a Porsche was intended for… Lot’s of Spirited Driving… Long drives freeway, lots of twisties, as little commuter driving as possible and spirited A/X. A/X is not the focus. Driving the on the highways and mountain roads in the SF Bay area. My current project plan for the car is to: Get the suspension dialed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) 911 front suspension five lug conversion 16x6 fuchs Koni adjustables front using 914 insert in the 911 struts 911 under tank sway bar Stock rear sway bar Rear 100# springs Koni adjustables rear 911 brake master cylinder Thinking about V-Calipers on the rear’s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Freshen the paint – Malaga Red Upgrade to leather upholstery Freshen Engine I have two numbers matching 1975 running 1.8L Option 1 Rebuild a perfectly stock Fuel Injected 1.8L. Option 2 Build a type 4 carbureted 150 HP Option 3 Build the biggest badest carbureted 911 engine I can afford Option 4 Build a 2.7 to 3.2 911 FI engine with A/C (Imagine A/C in a 914 a 30 year foolish dream) that I can afford Dr Evil Tranny rebuild (gearing based upon engine above) Last but not least… Drive Car in a spirited way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
