car wont see the street!!! the 914 's are a blast on the street. handling is where they are at.
not sure what you are looking for. you can go total race with huge tires, big flares, gutted cockpit and a 911 motor. you will want the latest suspension, grafted in form a 911 and such to be competitive in racing.
however even in mild form these are great cars.
if your going stock, the 1.7 motor was all that was offered for the four bangers thru 1972 in 1973 they introduced the 2 liter.
the early 1.7's had the most power over the later 1.7s (low compression verses higher compression) there are over bore piston kits that fit in these motors for an increase.
the four wheel discs are great for street use, gets some Porterfeld racing pads for beat results. lower the car from stock, maybe add 50 series tires, a fat front sway bar (NO rear bar, I hated them!) stiffer springs help too.
the old soft rubber bushings if original likely need replacement, consider poly bronze by elephant racing for these.
main thing is look for a RUST FREE body. rust kills these cars quick. so be very selective with rust.
