hey first and foremost im new to the world of 914's, but ive been an avid aircooled vw fan for 2 years now(im 18 now). so here's my question. what should i look for when buying a 914? what years engine size fuel injection or carbs? im planning on making it my daily driver/hill climb car. i can bore out engines for performance but i was wondering if there is a bolt on turbo kit or do you have to fabricate all the header tubing etc. looking foreward to gain some knowledge from the wise 914 owners

You can't tell squat by looking at a tiny picture Max. Sign up for our local list, shoot an email out with an intro and ask the bpys for help finding a 914. We'll set ya straight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

QUOTE(maxincolorado @ Nov 12 2008, 10:27 PM) seems like colorado isnt the place to find any older cars cause of the things rusting super quick Nothing could be further from the truth actually. Colorado is one of the driest states around. We don't have high humidity, the highwaty department never really used large amounts of salt, etc... The cold hard facts are that 35 year old cars that weren't galvanized from the factory rust after, well, 30+ years. It's physics and can't be avoided. Even the vaunted "California cars" rust.

It's really easy but it's not a web forum it;s an email list that has a minimal presence on yahoo groups. I'll send you a PM this afternoon when I get home from work because I don't think you and I are talking about the same thing. |
