The Official 914 World 3 Rotor 914 Build Thread, Otherwise known as round and round we go...... Options

[soloracer]

Well there has finally been some progress made on my car so I thought I would start a build thread about it for those who are interested. I'll try to keep it updated as I go along.

I'll start off with an introduction to the project for those who don't already know. I bought a 914 with a Sheridan Motorsports wide body in an E-bay auction. The car was being set up for a Porsche 6 to be used on the track. It came with the wide body, a 915 transmission (mag case) that was converted to side shifter with a Vellios kit and the ring and pinion had been flipped. The front suspension is supposed to be from a 911 - don't know the year yet - and the car has a brand new set of Kinesis rims that appear to be 17x12 in the back and 17x10 in the front. Also included were a set of new tires 315's in the back and 285's in the front. The previous owner also had put a front mount oil cooler and a somewhat poorly welded roll cage.

Here are some pictures of the car:

This is where we are at today. Paul is also going to work on the brake system for me. I have purchased a set of front and rear 1990 911 C2 calipers and rotors for this car. I will need adapters for them as the caliper bolt spacing is different than what is on the car. If anyone has information on where to get the adapters please let me know. I also purchased a pair of early 911 axles but the look to be too short and the bolt pattern on the inner CV doesn't match the output shaft of the transmission. Any ideas here are welcomed as well.

I've also wondered about the rear hub conversion that was done. Can anyone here tell me if these look like 914-6 units are are they just a drilled out hub with an extra bolt in them? Any help identifying what I have is appreciated.

I have a V8 and a 930 transmission and the hub looks just like what I have. The inside axle attachés using only 4 fasteners. I assume the other 2 are for pins. Looks like you will have a real nice car when its finished. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
