Crazy how things work. I originally sent Dean a text to see if he was going to RRC. Next thing you know we are making a deal for me to buy his car. Thanks so much Dean for building such a beautiful 914. I am honored & thankful you entrusted it to me. I plan to keep this car for many years. While I won't be discussing the price. I will say this is the most I've ever paid for a 914 by far. At the same time this is the happiest I've ever been with the purchase.

I've logged a good 6 hours in it so far. Drives great & has good power. 160ish to the wheels if I remember right. The suby tranny shifts easy & is tight. My only question will be if I stick with the 16x7 fuchs on it. Or change to the 17x9rears & 17x7.5 rsr finish rota Fuch replica's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

For those of us that do not know that car, could you post up more pictures and details?

Very interested in how the transmission setup functions, etc.
