Recently I've been pondering my need for a vehicle to tow my projects around and I got to wondering what it would take to make a 914 into a tow vehicle. All I could come up with was a big torquey engine and a hitch which would probably have to be attached at the firewall since there's not much back at the end of the cars. Stiffer springs? Regeared transmission? Hopefully some of you with some tow capability experience can lend me some knowledge. Let's play with the idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

QUOTE(seanery @ Aug 21 2003, 04:46 AM) look at the passenger front tire. It's almost lifting! Better put some sang bags in the front trunk if you want to be able to steer while going down the highway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
