My track/summer toy.
Had her for about 6 years now, a lot of the work was done before I purchased. Exhaust and new brakes (pictured last, big Brembos) are the newest additions. It has a 3.2 L 911 engine, puts out in the mid to high 200's. Weighs in at 2000 even. Refinishing the wheels this winter. Any questions, feel free to ask! Hope you enjoy!

Sweet car -- 914's were vastly underrated back in the day and nicely modded ones like yours are very nice (and very fast). Which tracks have you run it at?

It is awesome, I have always wanted one. They are a blast to drive and handling is amazing.

I have been extremely close to picking up restoration project 914. You can buy a rust free 914 with a running 1.7 or 2.0 for 2k easy around here! Awesome car!!!

We run up around Chicago, mostly Autobahn Country Club, where we are members. As well, Road America and Black Hawk. The tire sizes actually could be bigger, the rims are 17x9.5 in the front and 17x10.5 in the rear, which comes just a couple mm from the rear fenders. In front, street tires are 255's and rear are 265's. For the slick set-up for the track, I believe it is 245 front and 275 rear, but I'll have to double check that. We are getting the street wheels re-done this winter (aka, getting a new outer piece of the 3 piece wheel) and might make the wheels a bit smaller to add more rubber to the equation.
