Going to steer him from the 914. He has had one before and it didn't go well.
He has been bitten by the bug to race now and I am trying to guide him to a competative car in stock SCCA Solo II. How reliable would a 17 yr old hot rod K-car be? 86 GLH for $2500 anybody ever had one of these? Also a 86 GLH-S with 1200 miles on it. I just don't think I could race that car. price is $11,700 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |

Had an 86 GLH turbo. Got loose at 30K miles, fell apart at 51K, right out of warranty.
They are true junk and will not be reliable. It would also be very tough to autocross. When the turbo kicks in it goes in a straight line no matter where it is pointed. Little history, when Shel made a GLHS and gave it to the press to test they put a roll cage in the second one. First one got rolled! Want your son in that kind of car? |
