You bought another 914?  Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,624 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None

I know this car was talked about before but I have a question. In the June issue of excellence there is a story on a slightly modified 75 914. One of the things done was to remove the backpad and just use black carpet behind the seats. From the magazine photo I can't really tell if I like it or not. Has anyone here done this? Got pics?

I pulled mine out several years ago and replaced it with a adhesive insulation material with Al foil shelding. It has adhered well. I can't say how much it decreased heat transfer or reduced noise. It is covered up well by the upholstery. I am trying to work out an agreement with a manufacture of a aersol/liquid insulating product to evaluate for use as a firewall insulating. It is still in the initial stage, but if you would be interested as being another test car, let me know. My agreement with the company is that they supply the material free and assist with evaluation.
