I wouldn't attempt some of the things I am attempting where it not for the people here.

I hate it!


I'll never get my '73 put back together with all of the "good ideas" that come off this BBS. Engine swaps, suspension mods, tire sizes, 5-bolt conversions (with Al's polish job or course), oil cooler, oil cooler locations, Megasquirt EFI, bad ass exhaust systems, Nickies, etc...I had a simple 'Knock-the-rust-off-and-put-it-back-together' plan until I found this board.

I wish I could get this much good help at work!

Posted by: Joseph Mills Sep 1 2004, 08:16 PM

with all of the above.

My car has become a "914.com" teener.

It now handles like a dream.
It shifts perfectly.
It will soon run like a bat outa'hell (once I get my heads back on).

I no longer have to send it "out" to a "shop". I now enjoy the process of working on my car instead of dreading it. I think I've learned a bit about patience also.

And it's happened because of this forum and the generous people involved in it.
Cheers + Thanks!

This is what the original internet was designed for, the sharing of information...

This is the best forum for sharing 914 information....

Posted by: trekkor Sep 1 2004, 08:45 PM

If it weren't for 914world.com I'd be tooling along in my stock, blown shock, sway machine. ( Fun BTW. )

Instead, you get to see my car become the FREAKSHOW.

Hmm.. lets see...

Ya, I dont mind this place... Keeps me off drugs

Although I think drugs would be cheaper right about now.... But the long term payoff I think will be worth it....

Brad, the only way this site could die off in 6 months is if the top 10 major brains decide to leave... (big kick if you leave btw... That would slow this place down, cus you KNOW that this place gets active when your posting.... I know I want half my topics to be answered by you!!!!) And well, You havent left in the past so I see no reason to leave now...

Ahh, I think I need a soda

Posted by: Howard Sep 1 2004, 09:05 PM

Besides advice on these dumb rustbuckets, you get help for the lovelorn, bad jokes, worse poems, computer tips, etc.

Then I realized my bathroom is getting remodeled by a 930 guy, my web site is managed by a 914 guy, and you can learn to fix anything here. This is the place!

And bring up politics if you want a real hoot

Posted by: Mark Henry Sep 1 2004, 09:31 PM

914world.com is DA BOMB!!!!

Uh-oh...the FBI will be checking us out now 'cause I said bomb

Posted by: Aaron Cox Sep 1 2004, 10:14 PM

like reading the haynes manual?

Posted by: trekkor Sep 1 2004, 10:17 PM

Also, it's nice to see your projects getting done.

Learning from the experiences others...priceless.

howard, this ones for you

the 914 club is bumpin you see,
full of characters and mike z,
filled with racers and rust fixers,
is that a 914 prototype in that picture?

from tech articles and guidance,
to how to keep your 914 from slidin'
this 914 club is full of love,
a tight knit community like a glove

Led by a german, and a dude named brad
this website has become really phat and rad,
from 9:14 breakfasts and fun runs,
to watching peoples projects get done,

you come seeking car knowledge you see,
with in a minute, answers come forth happily
now this poem is reaching its final banter...
dont buy a car from auto atlanter

I am sure glad someone can write worser poetry than me. Now I can retire.

Posted by: GreekDriver Sep 1 2004, 11:29 PM

I'm new and have gotten alot of information. This place is really active for a forum so small, and a car that isn't around much anymore.

Posted by: rick 918-S Sep 2 2004, 12:01 AM

Real people, that's what it's all about. I never met a more sincere group of people as I have here. The cars are cool too!

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 2 2004, 01:11 AM

LMAO

Posted by: Aaron Cox Sep 2 2004, 01:13 AM

zing i thought the poem was better than that line

Posted by: mack914 Sep 2 2004, 05:17 AM

In every phase of my life, zero friends, until now. Thanks 914club.

Posted by: Qarl Sep 2 2004, 06:21 AM

Why do I love 914club.... four simple words.

Zois' hairy ass photos!

Posted by: mike_the_man Sep 2 2004, 06:28 AM

SSSHHHHHH!!! Don't get him started again, please!!! I just had breakfast.

Posted by: porschefool Sep 2 2004, 08:26 AM

The people. You guys are all great, and very generous with your knowledge.
Funny how the different Porsche boards tend to reflect the image of the model being discussed-
before I sold my 928, I was all over a certain 928 board, but since my Shark wasn't super clean/super built/super expensive, I felt excluded. MUCH different attitude with teeners, we all know they are (mostly) forgotten, underpowered, unrespected cars..but that's why we love 'em!!

Plus I can do the work myself, with you guys standing over my virtual shoulder....THAT'S huge.

But the REAL reason?


Levi's avatars.

Posted by: tdgray Sep 2 2004, 08:28 AM

with all the above.

From my first post when DD diagnosed my backward hooked fuel lines I was IN

After that I found out there are great people here as well

I have yet to meet any of you but I feel we could talk about anything if and when we do.

It's the same thing we say in MGA club... you come for the cars but you come BACK for the people.

Oh BTW - Zois don't even think about it I am going to be eating lunch right about the time you wil probably be logging in.

Posted by: SteveSr Sep 2 2004, 08:36 AM

Brad ain't sh**ting when he said this site is on FIRE you post a topic in the afternoon and by the next morning it's already halfway down the second page!!!
This site rules

Me too!

Posted by: balljoint Sep 2 2004, 08:45 AM

I appreciate 914World.com for all of the great tips and all of the questions that get answered for other posters before I even think about having that problem with my car.

Why do I love 914World.com?

Oh dear............

Not to mention when the board does slow down to like 1000 hit per minute you throw out a bone. Post how you screwed something up and everybody naws on it till the origninator crys mercy.

Then there zapping your nuts with a stun gun. I will NOT try to top that.

Levi's Avatars Oh yea baby.

928 people suck. I can say that after I divorced my silver 78 5-speed of 13 years ownership. BTW I did all my own wrenching on it too.

Posted by: Rhodes71/914 Sep 2 2004, 03:56 PM

Just gotta say .

Haven't been here long but long enough to know that this is a much different place than any other BBS I have used.

You people rock

Now I am going to go broke fixing this car for my wife

Maybe she will let me drive it if I ask real nice

Posted by: nebreitling Sep 2 2004, 04:15 PM

i don't know what the hell you guys are talking about.

i just use this site to pick up chicks.



maybe that's my problem

Posted by: Joe Ricard Sep 2 2004, 08:52 PM

Pick up chicks

Just bring a jack and four jack stands Thats how I pick up my chick. all 2000 lbs of her. She may be under powered but handles the curves like a pro. Not to mention screams real loud when I nail er.

Posted by: 72914S Sep 2 2004, 09:22 PM

I agree with most all the above,you all have to quit finding ways to improve the 914 or I`m going to have to start over.I don`t think the wife will go for another 6 year project. she calls this one my red headed mistress maybe a yellow one.

Posted by: Joe Ricard Sep 3 2004, 06:12 AM

Y P A F Yea baby, nothing like spending more time turning wrenches than talking to wenches..

Posted by: ablose58 Sep 3 2004, 06:25 AM

Talking to wenches is way cool Especially TOOL WENCHES This site answers Q's and Kicks A's

Posted by: red914 Sep 3 2004, 08:50 AM

i have been fortunate enough to meet several people from this board, and they have all been friendly and helpful, and overall great guys (i have not met any of the ladies yet, so i can say "guys") if it were not for the people on this board, i would still be driving around in my teener instead of trying to learn how to adjust dual webers...

wouldn't miss all that learnin' for anything!

can we give Levi a bigger avatar space?
