I'm wondering how many of you are tired of reading about non-Porsche conversions. After all this is not mainstream and we are < 1% of this board. I ask this in all sincerity. I can't help but think that some might feel our posts inappropriate. I would certainly understand if so and you won't hurt my feelings. Just trying to show some respect for the majority.

Doesn't bother me. I have little interest in them and am not compelled to read. Go for it.

We have an originality forum for those that want to focus on keeping their 914 all original...the garage is just tha, a place to discuss anything 914 related, be it valve adjustments or motor swaps.. people who trailblaze the way for new engine conversions are extremely fun to read up on anyways.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I actually enjoy reading the different conversions and unique ways people resolve the issues they run into. They provide a lot of insight and ideas for me as I continue on my never ending 914 journey.

Those that are only interested in stock 914s have a place to go but the garage is for all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I like to see the creativity. I have no intrest in anything other than VW actually. I have no interest in any other engine now that mine is performing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I would not trade it for anything, even a SIX (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

This is for 914's (their owners, anyway) and whatever we want to do to them.

I was never into them in the past. Now I'm looking at doing one as a daily driver/long trip car. Seems like a great option and should remain a talking point on our forum.

Not many out of 113,000 vehicles. When I purchased my V8 kit from renegade last year I was only number 575. Sure more adapters sold by kennedy but not a large amount.

Anything that drums up interest to convince people to keep them on the road is reason enough to do it.

The only time I really care about originality is when someone has a good condition or unmolested car that they want to hack up. There are still plenty of them out there that need attention that one can experiment on. That's why I'll never feel bad trying anything out on my car - it probably shouldn't have survived to begin with. Good idea for a poll! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I don't plan on doing one but I do enjoy reading them, . And I am co tinually amazed at the talent that many of you possess. I appreciate the planning, thought , And engineering that goes into many of these builds! I have learned a lot from them. I say do what you want , thanks for sharing and pos to g the details, the process etc.
Of course I shutter when I see something like Elliott cutting on his car for the flares, but then you see the finished product , wow! This week I have read threads on v8's (wow! I could have had a V8!), suby conversions, and a SHO!
Please keep it coming!

I’m not a big fan of mixed marriages. Be it 914, MGB, and so on. But I’m not about to start calling for heads on pikes. What’s the point of driving an old car if you’re going remove it’s soul? I am on the other hand quite willing to take issue with owners who never driven a 914, let alone rode in one, who before they get the thing home are planning engine swaps.
