GermanLook Forums - My newest project...

Alright well I got a little away from the GL look with my previous project, the reason being was my daily was totalled and I need a driver ASAP. I like the car and all, but am not happy with handeling...or speed. 1600 DP Here it is as it rides now.

So that being said. I am off to start a new project and have a few questions! (as always)

I like the curved windowed supers and am lucky enough to be recieving a rust free body for FREE...in FL that is hard to come by. I have a perfect pan that has been re-panned and painted. So onto the plans...

Brakes...
944 N/A Fronts and Rears
(only downside is cost of new struts and rims)

Suspension...
Currently on my car a versa-struts setup with sport springs from topline
(wont work with 944 brakes...3 bolt :( )

Engine...
Stock 914 2.0 (aquired)
(want to go bigger...but cost of machining heads is holding me back)
Weber 44's (aquired)
DTM Cooling...already aquired
Hopefully a 5 speed tranny, just havent decided on what would be best...and easiest for the 914 engine.

Interior...
Ummm-none lol, seats stearing wheel and dash. That is how I roll now...and I like it! :cool: Im fat...interior just makes my car weigh more :D

Exterior...
Dechromed
Wide CCC fenders (already aquired)
Maybe bumpers with turn signals and a kamei spoiler
Fat rims...dont know what yet...depends on brakes and lugs

So any sugestions...

And I have a couple Questions...

Is there other options to brakes?
I have disks on my topline struts now. And rear drums. Do I need more stopping power for a 2.0?
I love to go fast, but its better to be able to stop!

I want the widest track possible... can I do 944 rear brakes/aluminum trailing arm with a different lug pattern than porsche?

I have a set of Falken Hanabi rims that are 17x7's and only weigh something like 11 pouds each. They are a 5x100 lug pattern. How could I make these work?

I know lot of questions and probably more to come. All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
ERIK
