Does anyone know of a how to race prep your 914 book? I've been having zero luck. With as many of these out there I figure someone has to have written one. I've owned several cars, (datsun 510, fiat x1/9, Austin healey sprite), and I've always been able to buy race prep book. Please help!

Hey Pat57Woods, If you've race prepped a 510 and an X1/9, then you should know the basics of race prep and in particular, the ins & outs of semi-trailing link rear suspension. It is critical to bump-steer the 914 rear suspension as it has huge toe change over the arc of its travel. BTW: The 914 TOES-IN under compression which is opposite the 510 ,which TOES-OUT (raced one of them too!) Also opposite the 510, the 914 has an EXTREMELY flexy chassis making a full rollcage MANDATORY! Most folks also run tubes for & aft to each of the shock towers to tie it all together. I also highly recommend the Carroll Smith "------- to Win" books. I have all 5 and have learned a lot from each one! Other than that, there are a bunch of folks on the site who have built and run 914s on-track, so ask questions. Best, Terry |
