I have my heat exchangers and muffler off my 914 and need to move my car.
Is it safe to fire it up and drive it ten-twenty feet without damaging anything? I realize it will be super loud but it needs to be moved up an incline out of the road before it gets hit by someone not paying attention. I just tried to push it but fell shy of my target. Chip |

Just pull the plugs, disconnect the power to the coil (so you don't get any stray sparks) and use the starter in 1st gear. It's pretty strong, especially when not fighting engine compression.
