After the consequential dust of my 2008 fiscal year has begun to settle, it looks like the Blue Bomber (1976 2.0) will need to be my daily driver for the forseeable future. So here's my question:
Assuming that it is factory stock (it is) and that I've done nothing to it (close enough to true), what mods would you make to it (sort of sticking a Subie in it, which I've considered) to make her a dependdable, safe daily driver? BB needs to be reliable enough for daily driving to/from appointments (I'm in sales) and safe enough for me to feel fine about having my two-year old riding shotgun (i.e., I want her to start when I say so and stop when I need to). She won't do in the summer (no A/C) but other than that, what am I missing now? Thanks, Mike |

agreed on the fire extinguishers. Just in case, i mean it is an old car.
I'll also vouch, I daily drove my 914 for 2 1/2 years (my high school and part of college) and I drove it pretty hard (teenaged boy). Upkeep it, and it will be good to go. My mom also daily drove it for like 15 years before making it a weekend car (car is now at 245,000 miles*). Same lesson. Also, all the extra parts, fuses, flares, etc, will be useful just in case. *the motor was rebuilt though... i dont think type 4's last that long lol |
