So a little about the car. 1974 914 cali import ,engine spec:2056 71mm lightened crank and rods,web cam,kb silvolite race pistons,big valve 44-38 ported and polished heads, 44mm carbs with tall k&n's,9.2:1 compression , breather system, remote oil cooler , fully merged race exhaust (no heating),race ignition, rev limiter , new clutch and rsr gearbox mounts, body is in very , good condition and very straight . The bonnet and scuttle area will need a repaint which will be done this winter. Suspension is all new uprated shocks and rear springs , fronts are fulled height ajustable as factory spec.Interior is very tidy stock and has great original carpets , now has a console fitted aswell.
Future plans. paint as mentioned , a dyno tune , new screen and replace disc's all round and uprate pads. The exhaust is going to be copied , slightly modded and done in polished SS thanks to Rich ( Turbo Thomas)Also some anti roll bars at some stage. I would like to give the car a competition look though still remain original as possible. Any mods will use second hand parts and be easily reversed. Really want a cage in it though a harness bar and harnesses will do for now.
For me the car is awesome. It's fast as i need it to be , stops well and seems to be nicely balanced. I can honestly say my 914 is probably the best car i have owned and the more i work/clean and admire it the bigger the smile on my face gets. Few little tidy jobs here and there but in general a lovely car thats been really well looked after. Have all documentation from new aswell , all 2 binders worth!
I'll update as stuff happens!
