Dear all,
first off, i want to say what a great site this is. Tons of useful information and i truely appreciate it. Now, a little history on my 914. I have a 72 914 w/2.0 (from a later car). The car had gone thru several owners and it is now street Illegal (so its race prepped) I had stored it for the past 4 yrs and ready to take it out to do some track time. The car runs and all but I need a reliable (competent) shop to "sort out the bug" for me. Not sure if mentioning shop name is allowed on this forum. So if its against the rule, please email me directly at ninefourteen@yahoo.com Thanks for all your help Carson |

I have always wondered and kept forgetting to ask -- does Dave B (TRE) work on 914-4's? How about other 4-bangers (356/912 or waterpumpers)? I know he focuses on the sixers and I have seen some spectactular 911 and 914-6 cars come out of TRE.
I personally get along great with Otto, but to each his own. I don't think anybody could dispute that he LOVES 914's and KNOWS them like very few others in the US at this point. My car is going back there next week for a bit more development as I am way too short on garage-time these days and am getting impatient. Glenn Sager is a great guy and another 914 fanatic, although admittedly I know virtually nothing about his new shop venture beyond what I've read in European Car mag. (Yes they got some good PR in there; 944/951 project IIRC). Anyways, definitely let us know what you end up doing and when we should expect to see you at the track! Is your car a four or a six BTW??? |
