I've had my eye on several 914s, but apparantly I don't move quick enough.
Check these cars out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2418788697 Didn't even last a DAY! I wanted a little bit more info, then I was goign to buy it not. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) $6k. great deal http://www.uvm.edu/~jcollin1/914forsale/My...914ForSale.html I was on the phone with the guy for over an hour. He was supposed to be going on vacation for the weekend, but some guy made him an offer without seeing the car from Maryland. Keep in mind the car is in VT..... gone! $6,000 for that car. Dammit! SOOO.... my max is $6k, if anyone is selling a 914 2.0 or greater in good condition definetely let me know FIRST. :cursor: A car that is setup for autox would be great. I guess people buy cars these days without thinking. The guy who bought the latter car didn't really know much about it, I would have definetely been a better owner and the guy knew it. Anyway, i'm done complaining. Later (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |

QUOTE(Bleyseng @ Jun 9 2003, 06:48 PM) It doesn't sound that stiff with the 140 rear springs. It doesn't say what the tbars are or the shocks. New inner and outer longs scares me big time. New pans also means it was rusty. Geoff Yeah thats what I was thinking. Sway bars won't make the ride very stiff. His alignment was nuts though... "-1.5 degree front camber, -.5degree rear camber, 1 degree toe out in front, .5 degree toe out in back. Thus the car is twitchy on crowned road surfaces but corners like a go-kart. Unlike most "street" 914s this car is sprung VERY STIFF. If you are going to use it for a daily driver you would need to soften the sway bar settings and change tires or get a kidney belt and a chiropractor." Thats a lot of toe! Guy used it just for autox for 4 years, in his words: "Remember: sprung STIFF VERY LOUD Bump Steers on the street Fun, Fast, Looks great. Every day is the Lemans 24 hour" Yeah new longs and stuff definetely mean rust, but at least it was taken care of. |
