Yeah it's cold here!
And I am driveing my 914 as a daily driver. Is there anything that I should be concerned with? The only proplem that I have noticed is that it takes awhile to shift right, as it is cold and has to warm up. And the door does not want to close the way it should. Sometimes. |

My first 914 was my daily driver for most of the 80s. I'd let it idle for just a few minutes only then easy shifts until it warmed itself up. It never let me down. December through March I'd take the Mahles off and put snow tires on an old set of steel rims. Awesome!!
Of course the last time I went to jack it up it pretty much broke in half so . . . snow driving in a 914: good. road salt in a 914: not good. your results may vary. |
