Are you planning to own every 914 at least once? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)




I don't think Jamie & I have owned the same car ...yet!

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.

Met Dean & his wife at WCR 2012 in Monterey and had a chance to check out his creation ..... very impressive. Congratulations Jamie, it's a keeper for sure.

Great score on that car. I'm amazed he sold it.

I think that is the best quote so far.

Well I made it back home to Oregon with no problems. Car ran great the whole time. Although I hovered around the 20mpg range. Dean was around the 30mpg range. We changed the tune a little before I left. I've got to get the software downloaded for the Stinger computer. Then learn how it works. Didn't look to complicated so even an ignorant teener like me should be able to handle it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .

As far as the wheels we will see. I do like the look now. I want to see how the Rota's look. I've got alot invested in the Rota's. I would rather use them than sell them but we will see. Brand new wheels with brand new tires have their appeal too. They will fill out those flares nicely without any spacers. I don't think many on the board will pony up what I have invested in the Rota's anyway ($2400). It's a good chunk of coin so I may as well get some use out of them. I guess I did get one 20 minute ride before I pulled my old v8 setup (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Nice score Jamie. Smart too. Let someone else build it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) What's Dean's next projext? Another Suby mod?


Just read Deans build thread. What a great job he did on this car! Must have been some remorse in letting it go? Frickin awesome car.

Good to see you got her back to the new stable Jamie. Definitely hard to let go, but was necessary at this point in life. Already dreaming of the next build for sure. Hope you enjoy this sweet 914 as much as I have.

Took the wife for a drive tonight. Got a thumbs up from her too. Drove it around this afternoon for a couple hours. Lots of looks from everyone I passed. The green really calls attention. Just need to clean out space in my garage. It has to sleep outside tonight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I've been drooling over that thing for 2 years.

Yep, the 2011 wcr in Medford was the event that inspired me to get the car finished. Had some great first-time auto-x coaching that day. Had a run with Britain first, then Jamie and I in this video, what a blast.

That looks good to me on your car. I'm going to see how they look. I think the RSR finish will compliment the side Porsche Script. I'll post some pics when I change them out. Probably won't be until saturday.
