So I assume front shocktower to hoop in the cab is eminent?


Yep, I need to start figuring out the best way to beef up that area next, it is going to be a little tricky to route the tubing around the gas tank but I should be able to get a good amount of tube in there to connect the nose to the rest of the cage.

Spring break is drawing to a close, back to school tomorrow.
I bolted the chassis back together and mocked up the body next to it, I have 2 914s now!

I think you should look into this fuel cell. It will fit in the stock location with minor mods and give you clearance for the tubing. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RCI-2161A/

I did some sidework for my neighbor who is restoring a victorian house next to us and earned enough dough to buy some shiny bits for the car.
If I am going to insist on keeping the antiquated 914 box I figured I had better make it shift as well as possible.
After a call to JWest a Rennshifter and their stage 1 shift linkage showed up.
They are discontinuing the 914 shift linkage and only have the stage one left so if you want one now is the time to order.

You should talk with Mark in Bartlett, IL (screen name "Bartlett 914") about his new shifter setup.

You won't regret that shifter. Let me know how the other parts work out with the Renegade setup. (clearance wise)

This is one of those threads you hope that has been finished already from years ago.... So you can read it from start to finish without waiting! Impaitience takes over when watching a Thread like this one! Great work! You are quite a fabricator!

This has to be the most mind blowing buildup that I have ever come across. Dana you have to be the most productive fab'er that I have seen. I have a couple of questions... how much of this just comes out of your head and how much have you designed out on paper that we don't see? And how much weight could be saved if you redesigned the rear trailing arms to a chromoly tubing setup...maybe 20-25 lbs a pc? It took me 12 hours to read it all from the start. Very impressed and looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I ran the coolant lines today. There are a few ways to run them through a 914, I used to have rubber lines running below the floor but wanted to integrate them into the car a little better so I decided to try a different route. I poked around the site and really liked the way Britain Smith ran them in his subie conversion and decided to follow a similar path.
First I welded in tubing that led through the front firewall into the passages that pass beneath the gas tank,

Then I opened up the other end of the passage and the end of the long and welded in tubing to protect the hose from sharp edges.
Next step is to make some nice covers to seal off the area where the hose passes through the cabin.

Looking good. I want to see what you come up with to cover the lines inside the cabin...I might want you to make an extra set (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Needs to be lightweight!

I mounted the radiator today, I am running the standard Renegade unit, due to the new position I had to change the outlet tube's angle and the location of the bleeder. Luckily there is a helicopter repair place close to my house that can weld anything to anything so they could handle welding the aluminum radiator easily.
Keeping with my tradition of mounting everything as low and inboard as possible, the radiator is mounted far inside the trunk, it is at a pretty steep angle but with proper shrouding I believe it will cool the engine just fine.

Here is a close up of the mounts, the radiator is rubber insulated at all 4 corners.
