If you only had like $200-$300 to throw at your car, what would you start with? It runs fine, I just want to start making some upgrades, slowly.
Goals wize, very spirited daily driving, hopefully do some autocrossing this year, and down the road some track time(like a year or two) What i've got 2.0 d-jet KYB(Kill Your Back) shocks, around 30k miles old #140 welt. springs(I think all the way around, definatly in the back) 165r15 Sears (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) tires(with a lot of tread left) No sway bars(I know, it's a 76 with no bars) Thanks guys, Samson |

My daily fun machine is a '74 1.8 and what a difference it made to replace the 165SR15 Michelin XZX radials w/ Goodyear Eagle HP 195 65R15's. It has 100lbs. rear springs and no front sway bar and it was scary w/ those stock size treads. Now it still leans in hard turns, but it is much more predictable. I AX'd it last year, what a blast. The Goodyears I put on maintained the proper circumference so the speedo and rpm are still normal. Some guys like to put lower profile tires, but you will be turning more rpm for the same highway speed and the speedo will be off.
Later you could add a front swaybar to lessen the roll. Good luck, George |
