Are there many 914 owners who also love some 911 magic?

I sold this in the Spring, so technically I'm not a current owner, but I'm looking to replace it with another one.

Our two keepers, a '67 S and a '68 Targa Sportomatic. At one point we had two others, a '68 R replica racer (as well as a 6GT) and '68 S Targa Sporto. That was a rare oddball.

Currently a 1975 911S and 1987 turbo cab in the stable, both rust free, running

I simply had to have one. Great lesson learned:
Wonderful to drive, worrisome the rest of the time. Nervous wherever it was parked other than at home. OMG, will it get a rock chip today? Stupid quick and fast, limits WAY too high for the street.
Turns out, I don't want an awesome super-duper car! Sold it after a year.

Many of you have probably seen this lurking in the background in my build photos. 2017 C2. It serves as an opposite of my 914: bought brand new (and perfect), and not for wrenching on--at least not much.

Have had at least one in the stable since my '90 964 C4 coupe. Love them all but my '71 914 (which I've had since new) will always be my sentimental favourite...
Posted by: campbellcj Nov 29 2021, 11:40 PM
I got this 2009 997 Turbo 6-speed back in 2014 and still really love it, except the black is a pain. The torque is just monstrous with the stage 2 mods and as @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=19241 noted about the 991, it's basically too fast for public roads.

I sold a 996 to fund the 914 project, then got sucked back in because I missed the driving experience too much. It's truly an illness. A member on the rennlist forum recently posted a very quotable quote regarding the longevity of the infamous M9X engine hung out the back of the 996:
"If you spend more than 5 minutes on this forum you'll learn quickly that they are all time bombs and a proper PPI cost about $2500
so ignore this forum, do some due diligence and use your common sense. Regular maintenance and it should last several tens of miles before the inevitable $35,000 rebuild that can never be verified or confirmed."
Owning a 996 does feel a bit like playing a game of Russian Roulette after reading all the horror stories. I know the probability of a catastrophic failure of this engine is 100%. I just hope to get some enjoyment out of it before that happens.
There is a fix for this, when my brother bought his 996, I did the research. I had him read about the problem and the horrible result of not fixing it. He sent it to the shop, the cost is nothing compared to a rebuild.

79 SC, not too stock...
That looks like my old SC, which was my first 911. '79 with headlight washers, no fogs, full leather, and Euro rear guards. Way more importantly, a fresh Bob Farmer-built 3.0 with 930 injectors and the best shifting 915 I ever tried. As I understood the story, it was being prepped in IN for club racing in a stock-ish class (hence the Farmer engine, AC delete, early 930 tail, fog delete/front spoiler, lighter rear guards, etc) when the owner decided it was too nice to race. Then she moved to CA.
It went through a
lot of owners in just a few years (Kate > Josh > Johannes > me > Dan > Dwayne > dealer in Santa Rosa). Everyone bought it thinking it was the perfect SC driver and made tweaks but then quickly moved on. I was no different, installing an OE SSK, single-pipe muffler as it was my daily in downtown SF, AVSi tires, new brakes, a raised-hub Ruf steering wheel that was on the wall in Pfaffenhausen during a visit, and sand-cast Ruf pedals—but I was getting married and decided I could keep only one old Porsche.
Neat to see the car again, if it's the one. It deserved a longterm owner. As for me, I didn't know if I'd get another shot at a 911, but eventually did with a water-pumper that's a perfect yang to my 914's yin.

Agreed. Also important to note that the 996 TT Mezger engine does not have the IMS concern but owners (IMO) should “pin” the coolant tubes, which is not cheap.

Just sold my 73 911E hotrod this past summer on BaT.
Had owned it about 35 years.
It is being replaced by a 2022 Carrera 4S in paint-to-sample Oslo blue.
And likely another long hood in the not so distant future.
