It's not your dad's 914! ![]() ![]() ![]() Group: Members Posts: 1,197 Joined: 17-October 03 From: San Jose, CA Member No.: 1,256 Region Association: Northern California |
In the process of selling my 914, I met Steve of Redwood City who said he's never been to a Club event. He mentioned that he appreciated the nice condition of my car and said that he had a 914-6 3.2 he'd like to show me some day.
Today was the day - what a beauty! Some first time events for me; first time I've seen: - this factory color (Green Metallic), - trick oil cooler for the 3.2, -"Deep dish" 6x15" Fuchs - love those! Plus you gotta love those flares! Steve still has the original motor in a crate. Please help me to encourage him to drive this car to the 2/25 914 breakfast in Santa Clara! Please no drooling!:D The link for 10 more pics is at: http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures...l?id=2109252582 |

Thanks Tom for taking the pictures. Being a new member I'm just getting familiar with how to navigate around this website.
For those of you who have asked about the oil cooler location built right into the engine lid, this has proven to be an extremely effective way to keep the motor cool. Even in hot weather and putting the car thru its paces, the needle never gets beyond the mid-point in the temp range! I'm all about maintaining the originality of the car as much as possible. That is why I still have the original engine crated and in safe storage. I also kept the original engine lid with all the OEM stickers. The one currently on the car is another one found and painted to match the car with the custom cut out with the same factory mesh grill for ventilation. As Tom will attest, the engine bay is spotless and the motor does not leak a drop of oil. If anyone is interested, a shop in Southern Cal did the engine install including the custom oil cooler fabrication. Their website is supertecperformance.com. |
