I have been driving the 914 most evey day for a while now. I only drive the Legacy Sedan on a Tuesday, and an Occasional Saturday.
The 914 had the Tranny rebuilt by Dr. Evil himself, I rebuilt the top end of the 1.8, and replaced everything in the fuel injection that i could. Had KYBs put on all the way around with 100lb springs. All 4 wheel bearings replaced, Calipers and lines all brand new from Eric Shea. New tires 20560 R15s. Super bright HID lighting installed with a set of Pilots underneath. And a BIG ASS STEREO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The subaru has a failing air conditioner. The rear struts are shot. Needs brakes and at least 2 rotors. The oil needs to be topped off every other fillup. The engine idle has been getting progressivly worse. It has actually died on me at a red ligh a couple of times. Headlights that cant light up the car in front of me. And a shotty factory radio. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Rant over Joseph Sayre |

Your search for greatness has arrived. You have attained Nirvana. Oops; I just noticed this post is 4.5 hr's old and you have probably experienced another teener breakdown in that large of a time frame. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

WTG! Well done.
Now just wait until you replace the Kill Your Back's with a nice riding shock. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

By posting how excellent your car is, truly tempts the evil Porsche gods. No good deed goes unpunished, but until then... Have fun.
