Hi fellow 914 enthusiasts,
I'm a newbie to 914s after having restored numerous T2b Westfalia buses, bugs, Karmann Ghias and Golf !s. I´d like to compile a list of sensible DIY improvements one can make to the 914's suspension, brakes, tranny, motor and wheels. Nothing wild & crazy, just plug&play stuff to keep it looking stock but behaving 'better' ;-) Does anyone have suggestions? THanks, Michael |

For "non-stock" improvements:
Stainless steel fuel lines. LED dash and/or headlights (as mentioned). Electronic-style ignition - some of us are running this, which is a nice improvement over stock dizzy (1-2-3 Distributor). Maybe upgrade to a 2056 when the time is right? Looks and sounds stock, but it gives a nice little power bump, depending on how it's set up. Otherwise, as Stephen mentioned, just making sure all the handling and braking pieces are in good working order. Welcome to 914World. Heidelberg is a beautiful town! |
