I'm going to be getting the sleeve over kit for the rears from Elephant Racing to make the rear's Coilovers..... But nothing too special.
Thanks dude. How ya been? I'm gonna be getting the inside of the doors done either tomorrow or tuesday after hours, then shoot the doors on thursday or friday. Then it will be onto the front end. That still has to be blocked and primed again, Carbon access doors for the fog lights need to be made, then I'll shoot the front end.
Wait till you guys see the CF engine lid mod.....hehehe.

It'll only be around 110HP...... not a monster in the straights, but it'll be like a miata in the twisties!!!

Speak for yourself, My first car was a 74' 914 2.0L Fi and I personally hand 911 owners their asses at track days back when i was in High School.....
You have to remember, it's not about how much power, but how you use what you have. Just like that RS that beat the STI around the track at Subyfest a few years back, with only intake/exhaust and suspension..... and the STI had stuff done to it too.....
914 2.0L's are just about as fast as a 80's 911 Carrera on the track.
Oh yea, and 914's raced at LeMans....hehe.

On a side note, I'm shooting the rocker panels and inner half of the Divers Door tomorrow night, I'll snap off pics, and then I'll do the outer half of the drivers door saturday and start to sand the front end for second prime. Should have the front end ready to for paint mid next week. And I'll take pics of the CF Engine lid mod that I did.

There is a guy in so cal selling 2.4L's with 45IDE webbers for $4,500 with 250 Crank HP....... which makes the car, yes, faster then a STI....hehe...
That's just what i need.
You think 110 would be enough? You should talk to my uncle. He didn't think so. 110 wasnt peppy enough for him, so he shoe=horned a GNX motor in it.... turbo and all.
That car was fun.
