Bee Jay's 914 2.0 at the Autofest
I don't have a web page, but.....I brought my car to the Autofest in Ventura this weekend. It was a comming out for the car after over two years of engine rebuild, bare metal paint and body work, interior restoration, and suspension mods. Steve Malmzx and Mike Z now know that the car does exist. The rear spoiler and sound sytstem are the Japanese parts that Steve insisted on. Wayne took a group of pictures of it and they are on page 3 of his pictoral of the event.

And a special thanks to Sylvia for letting her newly wed husband spend so much time in the garage. Six conversion next. Bee Jay |

Wow, the car looks great!
What did you use for the rear 5-bolt conversion? I'm looking into tackling this myself and want to know what others have done on the rear. Also where did you get that collapsable spare. Nathan ------------------ '73 2.0 914 |

Thanks Nathan. I used an early hub redrilled for five studs. Look for a tech article real soon on this web site on my five lug conversion. I got the spare at Don and Glenn's last swap meet. They came in 911s.

Thanks James.
All four corners are 15x7 fuchs replicas with 205/55-15 Kuhmo Victors. I had the fender stretched a little while it was at the body shop. Stock looking and leave the lip were my only instructions. I plan to put 17x7.5 turbo twists all around with 215/45-17 Kuhmos, if they will fit. I'm waiting on my lottery winnings. I guess I have to buy the winning ticket first. The fuel gauge is VDO. You can adjust it. I have it read E at the same time my low fuel light comes on. That is the red low fuel light right under the tach. Bee Jay |
