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 |

you will never do a burn out or powerslide with a stock 914.
You will however reset the suspension, which most other cars cannot do. Again...it goes totally against your gut and totally against how you learned to drive, but with THIS car, it works like magic. By the fourth cone, your back end is up in the air when you turn and all the weight is on the front outside tire. You touch the brakes, you spin. If you come off that third cone, just at the transition point, instead of turning, hold the wheel straight, brake hard, hit gas, turn hard. it takes practice...but it works very well for any turn in a 914. rich rich |
