QUOTE(jaminM3 @ Aug 17 2007, 12:01 PM)  Lemme see if I can explain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) A guy took a 914, and he put a V8 in it to make it really fast. Rather than just cram in a poorly planned conversion, he appears to have thought out every last detail right down to appropriate suspension and brake modification, chasis reinforcements and a modified shift linkage. He carried out the conversion in about as bullet-proof and badass of a fashion as he possibly could, apparently leaving no potential problem unaddressed. He customized a few things along the way to his taste, maybe a few over the top, ultimately resulting in a car that any objective car guy would have to respect as being amazingly well executed from an engineering and mechanical point of view.

I like the way he changed the hood breaking up the flat lines. Also like the front bumper & grill and just about everything else about the body modifications. I really like it. Lots of great idea's & tastefully done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I would have let off a few side scoops, but that's just me. Tom |
