914 Freak!  Group: Retired Admin Posts: 20,180 Joined: 13-March 03 From: Grand Rapids, MI Member No.: 419 Region Association: None  |
This forum is a great place to share ideas and get some feedback. Over the years we have built up a broad base of 'common knowledge'. The problem with common knowledge is that it can stifle creativity. For example, we just had a thread about large bore four cylinder motors, and it immediately received the standard response (myself included). It was also suggested that the place to talk about new and experimental ideas for these motors is another site.
I'm just worried that people are afraid to post about their new ideas, for fear of being told why it won't work, why they should have done something else, etc. In fact I know of one person who sent out a really cool email about some 914 work he did, but didn't post it here for exactly the reason above. What's the 914World like from your perspective? |

Try posting on the 356 Registry. If I hear "proper and correct" one more time I'm gonna hurl. I enjoyed my Concour Weenie Rustoration of my 58A but four wheel drum brakes and 60 HP was just too.....geez, what's the word for it.....let's just go with OLD!!!!
However the just under 40K I got for it, made the 10 month ordeal a bit more liveable....geez, there is more money than brains in this world.... In conclusion....Naw, you can post any idea on this list and always get a naysayer....it's a crowning event when you do it, report on it and the previous poster either says...OK, ya did it or just STFU..... I mean...the phrase...ya can't turbo a 914....was created and disproved.... |
