The 2011 Nat thread talk about getting competitive in DP is not the first time I have had thoughts on this. After bringing a "Knife to a Gun Fight" the only 2 times I have competed on the Nat Level (SSM and FP) in my 2056. I am only going to help someone else win tires in that company.
I will be back in Oct in Blythville tho because its in my local region and it's a blast even when you are bringing up the rear!! Enough rambling back to the topic... What would a competitive 914 have to look like from top to bottom. What can/can't be done and what can/can't be replaced? Thoughts/ideas/input are always welcome..... |

On my car know i have been able to get 245/45 A6's on my 7x16 fuch in the rear after a little baseball bat massage. I would think on a flared car you could run this size on all corners.
I am actually AXing with 225/50 A6s all the way around this summer. Had to stretch the front just so slightly. I ran take off 205/45 A6s last summer. Bigger(wider) is better I've heard....i was also told by a local Nats trophy winner that he never liked anything taller than a 45 aspect because of rollover. I went with the 225/50's mainly because I could rotate all four tires...theoretically last longer maybe? CSOB i guess...I believe I have felt rollover once this season and that was a small, tight local setup. |
