So Saturday, at EASY, while Ways was garage saleing, and Andy was Octoberfesting, I saw a 914 at EASY that has a very well engineered install of a Honda Odyssey motor. Sounds like it goes like stink! Guy says he's a member here but this is the first time I've seen this.
The thing drew a crowd of about 10 guys. I made the comment "If a 914 drew this kind of a crowd at a Porsche event 40 years ago it was because they were asking the guy to leave!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Just seems like it's not well thought out to eliminate the spare tire and roof stowage.
Seen quite a few cars that did think about these things, and adjusted the design to accommodate everything. |

I would think you could do it in a way to allow for roof storage. Looking at this car, I had the thought of making up a custom drop in bin type thing. You could make if fit really close if you did it in fiber glass. Attach with a number of Dzus fasteners to allow for quick removal. |
