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. |

Very interested. Keep the thread going. I'm a big Honda guy and before I was unbelievably able to own the very same 914 my Dad owned in the 70's, I had wanted to find a project 914 and fit it with a B18 or 'lude motor--that was before the S2000 came out! Now you've got me wondering again if a 3.5 "6" would fit.
PS, did you pull your fenders for the cookie cutters to fit? I tried a one on the rear of mine and it was nowhere close to working. |

QUOTE PS, did you pull your fenders for the cookie cutters to fit? I tried a one on the rear of mine and it was nowhere close to working. If you roll the inner lip, then 15x7 cookie cutters w 205/50-15 fit with no problem. I ended up pulling my fenders with baseball bat only to fit 15x8's with a 225/45-15. They fit but didn't look quite right. I plan to add rear GT flares later to use the 15x8's. The current slightly flared fenders actually look decent. I'll have to take a picture. |
