new addition to stable Options

[TimT]

A few weeks ago I joined this bbs, and asked some questions about 914 alignment and suspension set up.

I finally was able to pick up the car today ( no blizzards etc)

a little about the ex 914-2.0

Engine:
3.2L
Webers
tall manifolds
1 3/4 dia headers
supertraps
WebCam 20-21's
msd ignition

Trans:
MSX gears
open diff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Suspension:

Raised spindle RSR in front
Bilstien sport in rear
coil over all round
f/r sway bars
600# springs ( sounds way heavy for this car, I havent been able to verify this though)

Brakes:

from an '87 carerra ( I have turbo calipers soon to go on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

I did a walk around with a smart camber

Front 2.0 neg

Rear 1.8 neg

I already think the car is over sprung, but until I know for sure what springs it has, and drive it a few laps , Ill leave things be for now

Yes I was looking for a roller recently.. I was talking with MJHanna about his roller... I was about to buy his car
Then a car came on the market that I was familiar with.

The car I bought is a car im very familiar with, my first PCA DE instructor owns (owned) it.. I have been at the track for years and have seen this cars, maintenance and development. I have driven this car, and been a passenger many times.


MJ Hannas car would have been cool to buy as a roller, but then I would have to get it to NY from Dallas

The car I just bought was about 15 mile from my house

I didnt only get a car I got "spares"

factory workshop manual
2 yokohamas
2 spare gearboxes
a bunch of CV joints and axles
a 916 front clip

etc

Now I can still keep my track skills honed, while I finish my 911 project...
