i had an idea after reading the excellence article about the orange 914, that car didnt have a rear window, and i thought it might be cool to have a removable rear window...has anyone done this before?
the only problem i can think of is that you would get alot of wind in the cabin through the rear probably.... any thoughts? |

Was just talking about this with a co-worker. My back glass always gets REALLY dirty. Like, wipe it with a towel every month or so, and get black grime. We came to the conclusion it must be from the engine and oil fumes. Seems like more would come in if you didn't have a back glass.
And yes, it is Freaking Loud without the back glass. It sounds all wild and rebel-like in theory. "I wanna hear my car when I drive." Cool. Me too. But when it's so loud that you can't hear other cars honking, and screaming over your engine noise or ASL are the only forms of communication you can have while driving, it gets a bit taxing. You wanna hear your engine? Remove the pads on both sides of the firewall. I guarantee you it'll make your teeth rattle. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) YMMV, obviously.
