And after so many fun adventures: The Little Blue Beater is gonna have to go to a new home.
Frankly, I don't have the time or resources to focus on this project anymore. Although, it does work great as a reliable daily driver. Original 1.8, SSIs, 22mm front sway, stock rear with adjustable droplinks, turbo tie rods, new steering rack, fresh poly rear bushings... AND rebuilt, 0-mile 2056. 9.3:1 compression. I also have an MSDS header, new in box (unopened!). Pair of rear trailing arms, waiting for a cleaning and new bearings. Comes with a pair of 5-lug hubs that have been drilled and studded by T H O M A S. Painted front and rear bumper. Plenty of extra bits and goodies. I hate to see a car that I took TTOC with so many times go, but I really want to get another Porsche that won't require quite nearly as much work... That I won't have to focus on paint and body to make the looks comparable to the fun factor. I'm contemplating another 944 or maybe a 928... I hear those have 4 seats (for the friends). Expect the car in the classifieds soon. The extra parts going with the car should be worth plenty as well. If you have any suggestions, ideas or thoughts I'm open to all of them. Thanks! |

If you are looking for reliability you need to buy a much newer car. Even then it's a crapshoot for something out of the ordinary. If you sell your 914 I give you six months before you catch the fever & come back. You can pick up a good 944 fairly cheap as you mentioned above might be on your list of cars. I would lean towards it over the 928 for sure. As mentioned above the prices on 928 parts can be rediculous. Best of luck whatever you do but know this. YOU WILL BE BACK! Once you've had a 914 you just can't get it out of your system. I had a 3 year hiatus (not sure how to spell that dam word) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . I saw a couple sixes going down the freeway after WCR a few years back. I had 3 914's again within a month. I'm actually back down to 1 which for me is pretty amazing. Although I am going to check one out this weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
