Bingo Bob.
Basically purchased back when and never driven. The owner recently passed and the new owner is a car guy that loves to autocross. We're installing de cambered ball joints up front and getting the ride height set. The graphics are all hand painted. Pin stripes to side stripes. The current owner still has the wheels but, upgraded to these seen here for his race rubber. The seats are amazing! She has a few scrapes and scuff from sitting in the previous owners garage but... All in all, still in amazing shape. |

Dang I don't have that issue...what's the scoop on it aside from the obvious? Did they do suspension mods only in the magazine? What year is it? Love the stripes.

I'm sure someone has noted and recorded the VIN.
The magazine cover shows what appears to be an early rear bumper, but the interior has a late model backpad. I recall that in the early half of the '80s, those "rainbow" stripes, as we referred to them back then, were very popular. That multicolor stripe element showed up on countless Hondas, VWs and even some privateer Porsche 935s, which might be where that concept was started. Now, of course, "rainbow" stripes have another connotation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aaron.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Paul |

Parting is such sadness. Yes, we want to keep her. Yes, she "oozes" with 80's cool. Ride height adjusted. Elephant Racing decambered ball joints got us -2 up front. Toe set for FTD and gummy shoes are picking up every stone in the parking lot.

I think I still have the series of articles, I seem to recall it was built over several issues. (or even a full-years-worth).
my recollection was that the wheels were specially made for the 914 to get a 7" wheel under the stock fenders. I'll see if I can dig up the magazines.... -bob |

Let me Guess, there for an alignment? Glad you took care of him! Looks like he listened to me about the wheels as well! Think I am shooting myself in the foot here. Hopefully you gave him the "special" setup, because I have a feeling I wont be keeping up with this one! Really would like to see a 914 with ftod though and he is probably the guy to do it. |
