I have never been a big fan of the nose on the 914 I purchased. I was always 50/50, sometimes I liked it, sometimes I tolerated it. It was on the car and it needed other work so I ignored it mostly. Now I am working on options to see what I can do.

It has a cooler under it, see the pics. Not the correct one though.
Go back to some form of stock?
I like the 916 front end, try to do something like that?
Some hybrid approach?
I don't really want to go down a $10K rabbit hole. I don't really want to cut into the front end and make it a full GT. I may be limiting my options as I think.

... just noticed the connections to your cooler are on the bottom. You may have a lot of air trapped in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
