In 2005, "Excellence" magazine showcased my bi-turbo, black 9146 gt-tribute car. My good friend Marco G. of @TLG_auto (North Hollywood, Ca.) was a contributing photographer/ writer for the magazine...as well as a 1st Class air-cooled Porsche tech. Pete Stout was at the helm of "Excellence", and the car must have been one of the few 914s to ruffle the feathers of the status quo 911 readership. We always knew that Pete had a love for the 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Here's a splash of pics given to me by Marco just after the article hit.

Last pic for now... I had this license plate frame custom made at the old Valley Indoor Swapmeet in 1978. The car was a narrow body 2.7L single turbo then...but it would whip just about anything on the street, and a decent reliable club racer.
People would actually ask if it was actually all stock, so I agreed Yes of course. The idea came to me from another plate that I've seen:
"Trust me, I'm your Lawyer". The stenciling on the rear valence says PORSCHE in Japanese. My old Rosemead Blvd. shop was in the heartland of the new JDM movement. Of course you could never get on the freeway without having a modified Supra, Accura or Nissan to spank on the long straight Blvd leading up to the 60 freeway. At this time I was running a 3L bi-turbo, with methanol injection.
The 914 (not a real Porsche) really had no badging...so I got skilled in a little calligraphy ! Today the rear valence reads GOT BOOST?
