How to make a stock 914-6 even better- Options

[carcam]

I have a perfect 914-6 that is a great car. In 1970 it was incredible. I am tempted, as have others for 38+ years to make it a little better... I want to keep it looking stock but perform better. I know I could do exhaustive searches and learn all the tricks and upgrades and I have bought all the books but I want to know what you, the forum members would do. Keep it stock and do nothing, upgrade...--- ignition, cylinders, pmo's, suspension...

I'd like to lower the front end to look better but I suspect it adversely affects handling. My 2 L engine has been upgraded to 2.2 L w solex cams and it runs good but not great. But looking at it and it looks stock. And it shifts well. What about MSD, ignition upgrades, pmo's.

This is a wonderful forum, without it I couldn't have got such an old car since nobody around here even knows what it is and I'm not on the same level, mechanically as most of you.

Thanks!

An Adriatic Blue /6 w/Gasburners? Is this for real or a dream? Thats the best of the best my friend. Most can only aspire to that level, you can reach no higher plateau in the 914 universe, it does not exist.

All jesting aside, that such a rare car the only thing that could make it better is to take it back to as close to original as possible and baby it. I would mount the original triple Webers at least and resist the temptation of anything else. It will never be the roadrocket sitting beneath it, so don't try to make it into one...just enjoy it for what it is, any attempted 'improvements' will be negative.

if you want a "fun car 914", please take a 4 and put a 3.2 in it, but leave this 6 as original as possible
