Questions about Aart-Jan's ride

[aartjan]

Thanks!

After a couple of months of having nothing done to the car, I started again on the project last weeks.

Routed a feed and retour fuelline (6mm) and completed the clutch cable connection and the throw-out bearing:


The shift mechanism has also beeen customised in order to work with the 914 transmission:

The body back on the chassis:


Bottom-view:


Replaced the standard camberadjusters with some larger ones:

I placed some 10mm spacers at the front, in order to achieve factory scub-radius again. Scrub-radius also named kingpin-offset is responsible for the self-aligning of the steeringwheel and the feeling (of loosing traction) in your steeringwheel. Without the spacers the scrub-radius would be near zero/neutral, something you don't want with a Germanstyle car!

Some explaination: scrub-radius is 'A':

how much have you lowered the ride height.
cars is beutifull great work

Thanks! But I really don't know how much the car is lowered, because it's build with parts from several cars. So I haven't got a reference.

However, I noted that this thread isn't updated anymore, so here are some new pictures from (more than) a month ago.

LED turnsignals, behind the horngrills and 911 lenses:


914 gauges, painted and chromed (steeringwheel is temporary):


Ahnendorp Road Racing exhaust (little bit too large for the current 1600, but suitable for future plans):
