I recently purchased a 72 914 in a big basket, but with a cherry body. I'm thinking of putting a subie engine in it , but I would like to take a look at one already completed. Any in the SF Bay Area that I could take a look at?
Been on different websites and seen some Renegade conversions but would like to see the real deal and find out how much aggro is really involved. Email me at hansenjoel@yahoo.com or phone 415/516-8217 (cell). Thx. JH |

I was fortunate to get a ride with Ed (fat73) in his turbo WRX conversion. Let me just say it was a PERMAGRIN machine. There was something really cool about that blow-off valve going PSST PSST right behind your head. The same night I also rode with VegasRacer in Elvira which is a VERY nice 6. Once again, face was sore from smiling so much. I think either way you would be happy, for most of us it came down to the bang for the buck. Building a Porsche 6 is $$$$$ey, the subie can be had for much less and provide the same kind of fun...
Go to your next local SCCA event and see if you can coax a ride with a WRX owner, there is sure to be one there and some drivers are glad to let you ride along. Take a change of shorts... |
