914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Got my 914 running better than my DD

Posted by: jsayre914 Jul 25 2011, 10:09 AM

I have been driving the 914 most evey day for a while now. I only drive the Legacy Sedan on a Tuesday, and an Occasional Saturday.

The 914 had the Tranny rebuilt by Dr. Evil himself, I rebuilt the top end of the 1.8, and replaced everything in the fuel injection that i could. Had KYBs put on all the way around with 100lb springs. All 4 wheel bearings replaced, Calipers and lines all brand new from Eric Shea. New tires 20560 R15s. Super bright HID lighting installed with a set of Pilots underneath. And a BIG ASS STEREO

The subaru has a failing air conditioner. The rear struts are shot. Needs brakes and at least 2 rotors. The oil needs to be topped off every other fillup. The engine idle has been getting progressivly worse. It has actually died on me at a red ligh a couple of times. Headlights that cant light up the car in front of me. And a shotty factory radio.
Rant over

Your search for greatness has arrived. You have attained Nirvana. Oops; I just noticed this post is 4.5 hr's old and you have probably experienced another teener breakdown in that large of a time frame.

Joe:

Glad to hear that your teener is performing well for you! It should be good to go for the party at Matt's place -->

WTG! Well done.

Now just wait until you replace the Kill Your Back's with a nice riding shock.

By posting how excellent your car is, truly tempts the evil Porsche gods. No good deed goes unpunished, but until then... Have fun.
