depends on your mechanical skills...the cars are pretty easy to work on...with you being in So-Cal and with the internet, getting parts is no big deal.....you can find running engines (1.7's and 1.8's) from free to just a couple hundred bucks...I've got a $300 1.8 in my car and it runs great
one thing to consider: It's not Honda, they don't sell any bolt on items that are going to give you 20% more HP like they sell for the Civics......you want more than the 90hp in a four banger, the motor has to come apart and your wallet will be assaulted big time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) fun cars....my 1st 914 was free, I never planned on owning one, didn't know anything about them except at the time I thought they were 'chick cars (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) ...10 years later I'm still hooked..... |
