Ok..... the sad part is that this car looks like it may not be in too bad of shape............ untill they "flared" the rear fenders (dented), and installed a rear spoiler that would appear to actually push the rear of the car up toward the sky.

Is it bad that I actually felt a little bit of anger when I saw this ad?

Yeah, this is your typical Honduh attitude of put as much crap on the car as you can becuase it makes it look cool. Rear body lift? Maybe it was some sort of attempt for an automatic rear trunk opening device at speeds greater than 50mph?

going 4x'ing with these? i dont know if this car is flared, doesnt look like it to me. seems like he's trying to avoid doing flares by raising the car UP.

perhaps thats why his rear spoiler is mounted to LIFT the car UP. <_<

I agree mikez, those rims probably have adapters. Really thick ones. Look how far outside the fenders they stick out in the rear. One good bump and there could be trouble.

You guys are harsh. If it's not a rustbucket, someone could throw in some time and a few bucks and make a nice driver. Or I could buy it, continue the 4X4 theme with monster truck tires completely outside the wheel wells, an entry ladder, skid plate, etc. Take that croozin' Friday night
Here's the idea:

We need a section where we can post pics of to vote for "Most Hacked 914 Ever". Those pics make Rice Burners look refined.

That is a rare 914 RE.

Dear God! What the He... is that?!? Somebody grab the sawsall!

Sad part is someone spent a lot of time working on that. It was for sale in the Chicago area this past spring but I never got a chance to go look at it. I wish I could have, I know I would have bought it just for the WTF factor.

Posted by: jkeyzer Aug 10 2004, 02:07 PM

You guys didn't read the ad. He said the fenders got flared from the wheels being too big. I read that as the tires whack the fenders when he goes over speed bumps, hence the dents.

Posted by: ninefourteener Aug 10 2004, 02:58 PM

You're right..... it does say that.

Kinda makes you wonder why he didn't throw the original wheels back on there. Hmmm

That car is downright concours compared to this...

Read the description, its a riot!!!

Posted by: Eric Taylor Aug 10 2004, 06:13 PM

hey that's pretty funny. Factory installed alarm. I would love to see the clickers. But honestly that is one of the better looking (from 10 feet) uses of that body kit, usually I hate it but that dosn't look so bad. Oh well probably just a bondo's piece of crap.

WOW! It looks like the pictures are taken from far away. I think he did not want to be seen to near the thing.

Posted by: Meredith Aug 11 2004, 02:01 AM

He really couldn't have taken any better pictures than those? Maybe the shadows from the trees are hiding dents or something...

But I DO like the color. Yellow = fast, right?

This is a very clean CUSTOM Porsche 914, ONLY 77,000 miles. Gorgeous car, extremely RARE!!!! No door handles, has remote control door opener, factory installed alarm, and custom built at Porche dealership. Has a 2.0 Litre engine, 5-speed transmission, RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT. No Rust. Excellent car all the way around. Has a Clean Corrected (Custom) title. VERY DEPENDABLE CAR!

Corrected Custom title? Factory installed alarm? Built at Porsche dealership? This guy is very misled.

They took the pics from a distance to probably hide a badly installed Rayco kit. They are a long drawn out bitch to get them "perfect".

Hmm...

Is that seriously the same car?

That explains the blurry, badly taken pictures...

Trying to hide some details, perhaps?

does not seem to be the same car, front bumper area is different, side scoupe and rear wing are different as well.

Posted by: Steve Thacker Aug 11 2004, 04:37 PM

That is most certainly not the same car. That looks like some "sort of" chalon kit /update.
