Ok, I know I'll be walkin' the plank for this but I figured it's a good day for it.
Assuming I could find a place to mount a pump, can power steering be retrofitted into the 914? Has this been done before? I'll answer the obvious question I'm going to get...why? Well, I'm not really sure what I'm building (finishing) here. My car is likely not going to race well (even if I could find a "class" to race in), and it's not really a classic anymore. I guess what I'm going to go for is as close to a "mid-life-crisis" luxury sports car from a 914 as can be accomplished...a novelty I suppose but perhaps unique in it's own way. Another "flavor" if you will. I'll use the V8 power to offset the weight of the DVD player, amps, extra sound insulation...blah blah blah. I guess you see where I'm going here. I will try to do it with some sense of style and tradition though and not "pimp" it. In any case, the car has 10's in front and 12's in the rear...it's a lot of rubber to move. So, to protect my limp wrists (Sure that was coming LOL!), any ideas, links, sources, and thoughts on a PS rack in the 914? Many thanks Sean S (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

That's prolly from a 944 turbo (also see the e-mail addy)
The 911 (turbo and NA) from '89 didn't have powered steering 911s didn't come with powersteering untill the 964 (which a '89 911 turbo wouldn't be) |
