My front Tie downs have several encounters with various imperfections on its way to victory.įlares will be added to the front fenders, and I will be raising the opening a little to clear tires at full suspension compression, and full lock. My car sits a little higher now that it did when it was a dedicated auto-xer. Wheels are off a Cayman S, 18” with 235/35 on the front and 255/40s on the rear. The Bionic 914.īody fix it so its a solid color and allows me to run these large meats an wheels. Yet I sold everything I had for the 914 that I am not going to use in its new form. So I did, I sold every car I owned except my truck, and her Miata.
And I started pointing at everything in the garage. And my wife came out and asked what had me so torqued. I was out in the workshop one day all kinds of fired up. I had it in the car, and never got it fired up. But in a 914? Well We all can shut up as he finished the swap and he’s getting 60+ MPG out of the car. I love TDIs as I drove them until just last month. And while I was doing that I found a 2.4L that was pulled from a car to swap a TDI engine in. I then started the search for 2.0L heads, and found a set in Indy. Until one of the heads decided to go to the south. This engine ran me for 4 season of auto-x. Next change was a 2.0L I picked up off Van, as he swapped out to a -6. I was told it was a 2.0L, it turned out to be a 74 with a 1.8L, bored out cylinders making it a short stroke 2.0L engine. Car sat until I picked up a rusty but running 914 from Detroit for $800. Needed the money more than a running 914. I had one from a parts car that did not work out so I gave up my engine. I was running 2.0L in the car until I had to sell it. Time goes by and the car changes configurations several times. Had sway bars from the factory, and a lot of nice parts that I would sell off over time. But thats all right it was a 74 2.0L, base model which was what I was looking for. I missed the nice 1/8 steel plate welded in for a battery tray. I worked on it a lot, it was in pretty good shape the hell hole was well, HELL. He saw the ad, and did not even go and take a look, I did. This was the same time Jon Lowe was looking for a tub for his 914-6GT Clone.
