yup, its all the simplicity of it, how many hours do you have making sure your engine specs run cool. lets see air volumn, cooling fine surface, oil cooler surface, air pths, etc etc
if it was so easy how long and why did you have to make a dtm for a 914, why not just bolts on parts.... because it wont work.... nice and simple jake you make nice motors, but they cost money, mostly due to the time you put in to them, heck the parts are not much when compared to labor at 50 $ per hour or what ever you charge. but some people ( myself included ) like the thought of air cooled but when hp per $, and how long it will last gets in to it, we will go H2O. i also think some people want a more modern 914, thats why we have gone H2O, bigger brakes, new seats, new shifters etc etc. i would bet that if somebody made a modern 914, with a water cooled engine, ps, pb, ac, nicer seats but all with the classic look of a 914 almost every body here would be lining up to test drive and maybe even buy one. my question to all of the members here ? would you buy a car that WAS and IS a 914 that you could just jump in to and drive in almost any weather all the time? |
