Hey guys,
I'm new here, but I've been checking this site pretty much everyday for about six months now, so I decided I might as well introduce myself. My name is Corey, and I'm a 20 yr old POOR college student. I've been searching frantically for the perfect 1973 2.0 (of course) for quite awhile now and was wondering how long it took everyone to find their very own special teener. And also, where do you guys look?! I use Ebay, collectorcartrader, google, and the classified section on this site. I bought the last few local autotraders, but to no avail. I'm in Orange County, by the way. Anywho, nice to finally find a forum where people don't talk about ricerz they "PWND" in a sweet drag race d00d (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Thanks, Corey |

Once I decided on a 914 and not a Miata, not too long. Found one right here in the club classifieds, '76 with 20k on semi-new motor w/ new Euro pistons and valve job and 95% rust free. $2500
Spent $1500 on all new FI componants and another $1500 or so plus on suspension mods (plus a $830 alignment). Ran great for 200 miles, now wont hold idle or idles @200 RPM until hot (not warm, hot), lost power, and any corner taken above 30 MPH feels like I'm driving a Mexican jumping bean. |
