My son and I are going to a track cross tomorrow at Summit Point. My son's BMW is not ready so I plan on driving my 914 and letting him drive my Acura. Please give me recommendations on tire pressures for the 914. I have never had it on a track. It has a stock suspension without sway bars, 205-55-15 tires (300 treadwear rating) on 4 lug Fuchs. It will only be 50 degrees.

I would use the stock recommended tire pressures. Set them 26 front, 29 rear in the am before you drive anywhere.

Bottom seat cushion out, use a 1/2 inch foam pad. Highly recommend Bridgestone RE71 tires when you start looking...I just ran them at Roebling... got the same lap times as I did with Hoosiers, surprised me. Get them shaved to 4/32 from Tire Rack...

Saw your pic that you posted in the Paddock area... post it here also and you'll get more recommendations really nice action pic.
Think about a front sway bar... your son has the driver's side completely unloaded.... nice. |
