I have no idea what that thing is.. It looks like a Eclipse and a Chevy got together to see what the offspring would look like. I don't see anything that looks like a teener in that mess.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) door angles, pillar angles, windscreen are all wrong. maybe he has a valid 914 chassis number welded in somewhere to give him a 914 title. looks more like a fiero. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It looks like he had a giant pile of various make body parts, and he went thru until he found ones that would fit, then tacked 'em on. No theme, no style, no proportion. Just a fully covered chassis. Almost looks like a camo test mule. Too bad. It looks like he did a solid job in the actual assembly. I'm sure there is a fair number of hours invested. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

In the third pic even the dog looks embarassed to be seen next to it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
For what it is it looks done well, but even a turd done well is still a turd. |

He did it 'because he could'. This car is an extreme example, but we should remember this car next time we want to modify our cars...

The fabrication and body are really very good, but what on God's green earth is
that thing on the roof? Some people don't know when to say enough. |

Gee, I don't think it looks so bad. I don't like the doors, or the front spoiler/headlights - but fit and finish, in the super tiny pictures, with my bad eyesight, doesn't look so bad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .
If it was built well mechanically - then it's unique and what the heck... we've seen worse. You realize I only write this because we are starting to sound like the wine-and-cheese crowd... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I think the Yon K 914 looks ugly (yes, I said it), but... look what it could do ! Granted, the bad looks come from the good engineering. With this kali-kookmobile, I think, the top scoop and side scoops probably provide a solid solution for air intake and cooling (conjecture). It looks like the up-front radiator is done very well (front dam air entrance over the radiator and through the hood air exit). But hey, I just look at 'em, I don't build 'em. |

Because:
a - You have too much money b - You have too much time c - You have bad taste d - You have no taste e - It was the best way you could think of to ruin a 914 |

Whatchu' lookin' at?!?! Group: Members Posts: 3,432 Joined: 6-September 04 From: San Gabriel, CA Member No.: 2,697 |
Looks like the base vehicle wasnt a 72' 914. It looks more like a 2nd generation Honda Civic CRX. Here's a comparison: (IMG:http://www.edmunds.com/media/seo/500/1991.honda.crx.jpg)

Yeah doesn't look like a 914 at all. At first I thought it was a fiero but yeah must be a crx.
Should have seen a civic I built a few years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Wasn't that bad but close. Just make sure you guys stop me before I mess up my 914 like that |
