74, stock 2.0, stock front swaybar - no rear bar, stock front inserts, may mount an older set of adjustable Koni's I already have on the back, either way 100 lb springs, 195/65 Eagle GT's.
Looking to have fun, not too worried about much else, but I have a few basic setup questions: I'm going to chalk the tires, but what pressure should I start at? Full tank, half tank or empty tank? Spare tire in or out? The konis need to be adjusted out of the car - soft, medium or firm (keep in mind I will have to live with it on NH streets too)? Should I overfill the oil a bit? If so how much? What am I missing? Thanks, Scott |

Start with some Dunlop Direzzas or the Hankook RS3s. The new BF Goodrich Rival is gaining popularity and may be next years hot street tire. Those MX5s are very fast and will be a hard car to catch in an otherwise stock 914. If your not running a front swaybar you may want to consider one as well.

Thanks Woody, we do use PAX, but I was still shocked how far out front the MX5 is! I have a front sway bar, no rear. I currently only have some 5.5 steelies to put new tires on which limits me to 195/50's. I'm ok with that but am worried that it might lower my gearing too much. Right now I can do the entire course in 2nd gear. The Rivals do not come in 195/50, the Direzza's do, but I'll take a look at the Hankooks too if they come in 195's. It would be nice to go to 205's, what is out there for cheap 6" rims - anything? |
