I spotted this chopped down 914 on my way home from work today. Union Ave on San Jose/Los Gatos Border. First time I’ve seen this one in my neighborhood.
Anyone here? |

I've seen it at least once, near 17 and Bear Creek Rd. Very cool looking ride, obviously a lot of work into it.

It looks like Michael Cuoco from San Francisco. CalTrans bridge guy. I didn’t think he was ready to fire it yet though...

Close, but not quite - chopped one has three arms (or is painted to appear to have three arms) on each spoke - the other one has two.
I think I like the chopped one.... |

Just when I thought I'd seen it all with 914s, even if I knew I hadn't, there's a chopped-roof 914 with what looks like a Crossfire windshield, a suspension lift (back to US stock? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ), and taller rockers. Trip.
Not for me, but I do like seeing others' creativity in the world. But I have to ask: Is this the same, better, or worse than RWB 911s? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

The driver must be very short, because with the stock top height we're almost sitting on the floor! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

I'd like it better if the rockers were black. And yeah, those wheels...

I've seen floors dropped 0.5-inch "invisibly." Suspect this car could have something more like 2-4 inches? |
