I'm one of those Porsche purists, really particular about all the little details. I drive the crap out of my car, but I still make sure it has the correct nuts and bolt, so the concours judges don't give me any lip. I notice a lot of radically modified 914s here, just wanted to get a sense of how everybody feels.

QUOTE(GWN7 @ Nov 9 2004, 10:40 AM) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Some really good points about the limitations of the chassis and all the lessons learned to overcome them in the last 30+ years. I once instructed a guy with a relatively stock 914 with a Chevy V8 in it, stock wheels and everything. First of all, it was really wierd seeing one of those automatic shifters poking out, but beyond that - the car was practically undrivable. the tires would light up at the lightest jab of the throttle at very low rpms. I recall he went through a lot of CV joints (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) This poll kinda surprised me when I logged in this morning - it really grew. Great to get a sense of all the diverse and really passionate responses, which is really what this is all about. Whatever you do, just remember this sequence: 1. tires 2. suspension 3. brakes 4. cooling 5. hp Driving skills and weight reduction at any time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/monkeydance.gif) |
