Favorite Upgrades/Accessories

[jaudette3]

Inspired by Tom's post in the Louvers Thread, I thought it might be interesting to run a poll to see what our favorite upgrades and accessories are. I'm probably leaving off some things, but here we go.

Cheers,

More displacement.

and a 380 mm RSR thickness steering wheel. Also an upgraded suspension; larger sways, torsion bars and Bilsteins lowered and corner balanced.

I'll second Brian, no replacement for displacement.

I wish the poll let us list more than 10 choices. We could probably put together a Top 50. I *really* like over-size brakes for example. But I left mechanical stuff off of this list, which we could maybe call the Geegaw List (I like geegaws). Maybe we should do another poll for performance enhancements?

Cheers,

youre correct to a point. with the 912, im kind of limited at that point right now.. i already have it up to 1700cc. new developments have allowed for 1900cc and twing plugs. i have a spare, complete motor from a 67 that will become a 1900cc twin plug sleeper when money allows. a 1900 cc will require the case to be modified to accept the larger cylinders. the heads will have to be modified for the twin plug.. of course this all spells complete rebuild and massive machine work. very very few have gone to these extremes on their 912s.

needless to say, to quote dave hillman and john thornton, you can never win the hp game. there will always be someone out there with more displacement, and more hp.

suspension set up, lightness, balance, and most importantly driving abilty will be the great equalizer.
