Can anyone explain why my North American sold 1974 2.0, has no front or rear sway bars. Was Porsche so confident that 4 cilinder cars could handle the use without bars?
Is it only an American thing? Did Euro models also came without. Was it an option? My car leans badly, I am in the process of getting bilstein B6 shocks installed, but anyway, I see 914 cars with bars everywhere and mine has a big NOTHING to stop body lean… I still love it, buy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Any comments? |

In Mexico city, it was last moved around 1981 after imported from LA/USA, I knew the car in 1985 more or less, but I was not allowed near the car, NEVER… the owner passed away 5 years ago, my friend called me to ask if I was interested last November… So, next thing… |
