Who all have tales/tribulations about buying a nice motor?
Any reccomendations on places to look into? Im not interested in an off-the-shelf TIV, but a nicely built motor with some fire... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I have been looking for somthing from outside CA if possible.....fuck the government, I dont wanna give them any of my tax $$...! "justveedubs.com" seems like they might have something in store for me...any horror stories or better reccomendations? a bit of customization to their "2700cc TIV" might do the trick nicely.....mebbe "101.5" instead of those 104's though... woah.... (IMG:http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b180/Bezerker420/DSC02904resize.jpg) NOTICE: Sorry Jake, I LOVE your works there, but untill furthur notice I cant quite afford your motors..... [I know you are working for the high-end market, filling that price-point.....but do you have any inclination to offer a high-tech but slightly more budget minded engine option? IE. carbourated? that would knock off like 5K no?] -JD |

Say what you will about Hondas, but it has been every bit as reliable as my Super Beetle was(albeit over 1/3 the miles so far, only up to 125,000) It has 4 doors, handles very well, the brakes(with upgraded pads) will stick your gum to the windshield, 170 hp and I can tell you it is solid up to 130 mph that said, the 914 is on a different planet with respect to handling, even with the totally beat sway bar bushings in the back. I honestly think it would run away and hide from my Pops in his '84 911 carrera cab on a windy road. |
