Just completed reading a lot of information regarding RABY engines.
All of the information points from the Mild to Wild they produce a Quality and Bulletproof product. Does anyone out there on the "World" have first hand knowledge or experience with a RABY engine? Is the higher than normal acquisition cost worth the performance, reliability and drivability characteristics claimed by the Manufacturer. Also seems to be a quite lengthy wait time associated between the ordering of an engine and its delivery. Any information would be great Thank you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

I have four 914's.....your telling me they aren't real Porsche's? They Say Porsche all over them. When ordering parts for them, the factory parts say "original PORSCHE parts" Then Manuals used to repair them say Porsche. |

I have four 914's.....your telling me they aren't real Porsche's? They Say Porsche all over them. When ordering parts for them, the factory parts say "original PORSCHE parts" Then Manuals used to repair them say Porsche. Actually, yes. They're NOT Porsche. And since you have 4 of them, you should really know their history better. The 914 was a joint venture between Volkswagen and Porsche and those two actually started an independent 3rd company just to make and sell the 914. The company was called "VW-Porsche Vertriebsgesellschaft". The only reason why 914s say PORSCHE on them on the USA is because of marketing (!) since US dealers were concerned that the car wouldn't sell if it was affiliated with VW. Anywhere else in the world, they didn't have the Porsche badge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

And wasn't Porsche a derivative of Volkswagen manufacturing? If these statements are true don't you think it's a little snooty and uppity to forget Porsches roots? The engines and tranny's are definitely not in any bugs that are stock, especially the 2.0 liter I don't believe any of the coach work on the Porsches have a badge saying "Karmann" the disclaimer on the top of 914world home and forum pages says the words Porsche and the crest are trademarks of Dr Porsche. I just don't agree 914's are just as much a Porsche as 911's are they come from the same liniage. And that is VW |

Porsche operated solely as a design firm for the first couple decades of its existence. They designed everything from tractors to tanks to hydroelectric generators to engines for other car makers to complete cars for other car makers. Porsche designed the Beetle and it's engine. The first car Porsche designed and built on their own, the 60K10 was produced the same year the Beetle was first manufactured, 1938. Granted there were only 3 60k10's made, but whatever. Porsche continued working as a design firm until Ferry Porsche decided to begin designing a car of his own in the mid 1940's, which became the 356. |
