Having something you can drive and enjoy as a street car is a loaded topic. Everyone will be a bit different.
Here in the PNW, heat is a must along with all the factory working vents and little dash fan etc. You get caught in rain, spray from wet roads and so on. Any good, clean working stock 914 (4 or 6) with good seals does just fine. The 914-6 I bought has 993 heater boxes, CIS and CAT's, it sound great and is quiet. I'm leaving power on the table with this configuration, but it fires right up, idles all the time and has nice clean heat. But I'm also 47 now, 20+ years ago my 914-6 didn't have heat and sported a gutted muffler. Times change. |
