Hopefully this will not turn into a bad topic...be civil !!!!!
I've noticed that when it comes to building Hot Rod or super customized badass European cars, none of them seem to come from America. I've seen Volvo T5 and T6 motors stuffed into early 240 series Volvos...not a small feat, both of these turbo motors are originally installed tranversly and for the 240, the motors must be turned 90° to drive the rear wheels instead of the fronts. The have killer Mercedes and of course the dopest Porsches ever made come from overseas. I guess seeing the supposedly Boxster powered 914 got me thinking that we lag behind when it comes to cool or different conversions.. Just a thought........... |

QUOTE(airsix @ Apr 22 2003, 11:01 AM) ...The rest of the population is content to be like sheep and buy what they are told to buy and shuffle along with the rest of the drones, or THINK they can customise their life by ordering off the "stand out from the crowd with these approved accessories" menu. The second crowd are just sheep with bling bling (I finally had to ask a teenager the other day what the @#$% that meant). Once you start ordering exclusively from the menu it gets easy to become lazy. Then these lazy people raise kids who know no other way. And here we are. -Ben M. Or, maybe some of us just want a nice, clean example of an original 914. |
