I would share my project with the world since I enjoy seeing what others have posted. The 914world has been big help in sourcing info, parts, and the car itself.
I thought about building this car for years, and finally decided to act on it. Recomendations and comments are welcome. Thanks, Michael Project Scope Body: 1973 narrow bodied w/ fiberglass bumpers Engine: Honda S2000 F20C (250 ps @ 8200 rpm) Transmission: Stock Front Suspension: 87 911 front end w/ Bilstein Sports, 22 sway bar Rear Suspension 250 lb springs on bilstein sports, poly bushings Wheels: 15x7 with R compound Brakes: 87 911 Carrera F&R This is how it looked when I first got it. Brought this home from Southern Caifornia. The transport company rolled it up in the yard since it had no brakes. Repaired hell hole Reinforced rear suspension console Removed sound deadening from the floor and prepping for POR15 Rear fiberglass bumper fitted I hope to be installing the drivetrain in September, that is if Murphy's law quits getting me. The flywheel from KEP is several thousands too small to fit on the crankshaft so I need to get that resolved first. |

There is a lot of flex in the front of the car. Not all of it is in the back.

There is a lot of flex in the front of the car. Not all of it is in the back. Yes I need to add some bars going to the front shock towers. Wasn't in the original plan, but it is now. Andy, Your cage is very nice. Thanks for posting. Do you have bars going to the rear? Due to the cold weather and the fact I have too many projects going at once progress has been very slow. I'm enjoying the process and not that anxious to finish quickly. I'm well ahead of my 3 year time line. I need it to warm up to finish painting the interior and engine bay before putting the powertrain back in. I ended up gutting the doors and made my own aluminum door panels. I plan to place the battery up front and fabed up a battery tray. For a radiator I plan on using a Honda dual core half size radiator. There is room enough to mount it vertical. I will shroud it out the bottom like an oil cooler. Cutting the wheel wells open doesn't appeal to me. Here's a few pictures. |

Cutting the wheel wells open doesn't appeal to me. Here's a few pictures. This will work but keep in mind you need twice the size of your inlet in your outlet. Also you should shroud it 100%. Next under the car should be a low pressure area, Using louvers or a single lip to create a suction/ negative pressure at the outlet will help. Let me know if you have any questions on it. |
