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

Im thinking of using the 8" rear as my front, and my 9" as the rear with 245s in front and maybe 315s in the rear, thats if I can mount a 315 on a 9

TimT,

Do you really think you can put 315's on 9's. That sounds like a bad idea to me. 10's or 11's sound more like 315 sizes.

Let me know if you try I'd like to see the results.

Nice Car!!

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...
