Man, the last decent 914 site I knew of was the Renegage 914 club and it seems to have died years ago. I have a 1973 1.8 that (AFAIK) has been rebuilt to a 1.9 (though I haven't verified this in any way). I built the car (actually it is my second, the forst being a '72 with a blown head and a bad tranny that was more rust than car - first car I ever bought - man did I get the shaft) when I was 17 and am now revisiting it at 30. I used it is a daily driver on an off through college. Now I am thinking about making it faster/better. I just looked at the car and it has my imagination running. Doesn't seem to have too much rust on it (although one of the legs of the driver's seat has punched through the floor - does anyone know if this means I necessarily need a new pan or can that be patched?). Thinking about buying a hotter engine from some of the places I have found on the interweb that offer suped up type IVs.
Any advice would be well appreciated. Glad to have found a bunch of 914 heads to talk to! |

Oh - here's another thing:
I had convinced myself (almost) that I wanted to go to 6 cylinder power (mostly because I think I have a line on a decently-priced 6) but then started looking at other options. Does anyone know Jake Raby's work? It would be nice (for once in the life of the car) to have some power and a decently running, reliable engine. I have toyed with the idea of buying a kit and rebuilding myself (though I have too many things on back-burners already) or just buying something reasonably performance and bolting it in. Any advice on where I would buy a hot(ter) 4 that could just go right in? |
