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...

Maybe the tall rockers are because the floor was dropped? I've seen floors dropped 0.5-inch "invisibly." Suspect this car could have something more like 2-4 inches?
