My Narp 914 SPORT MODE

Has this been done before?

Per Google: (Porsche Sport Mode)

SPORT MODE: The 'SPORT' mode is your perfect driving mode for more spirited drives through backroads or canyon passes. When selected, throttle response and shifts are sharper, the suspension is stiffer, sport exhaust valves will open, and dynamic engine mounts will engage.

My Narp 914 version:

SPORT MODE: The 'SPORT' mode is your perfect driving mode for more spirited drives through backroads or canyon passes. When selected, throttle response and shifts are sharper, the suspension is stiffer, Dual sport exhaust valves can be opened from 0 to 100% with a flip of a dash switch. and dynamic engine mounts will engage.

I installed this on Chucky (LS V8 powered) last weekend. YIKES…It worked!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I get to road test it tomorrow. Now, Chucky can live up to his split personality. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/calvin.gif) / (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

It took me an entire day to install and fab up brackets, plus the wiring. I only had .045 weld wire at home so not the prettiest, but sound. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Sometimes I wish I had four hands. All deburred, may ceramic coat later. It’s also using a different ECU tune in Sport mode.

I plan to update to Holley Terminator ECU and harness after paint later this summer.

Wife said, Why? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Cable "Open header" cutouts first innovated in the 1960's by one of my mentors Doug Thorley. He started putting 12v solenoids on them in the early '80s. Lots to be said about how adaptive the OE and aftermarket mfgs have integrated these into all sorts of modes via modern electronics.
This should be killer Oscar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

You could tell that that car is NARP as there isn't a drop of oil anywhere to be seen!

No car audio planned...in Prius mode you can easily hold a conversation with top off...in Chucky (Sport) mode use sign language to communicate with passenger.

Best of both worlds.

Next, after paint..hidden AC & Heat using existing dash vents.

Looks great - look forward to the video. Should send the pedestrians running for cover! A flamethrower would be a nice touch too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boom.gif)

One mode for talking about driving, Porsches, and engines.

The other mode for when your gf/wife starts talking about Hair, nails, and what's for dinner

I can remember JC Whitney sold those that were cable operated. Open and close them while sitting at a long stop light. Make the other drivers think they're going crazy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Your car looks great Oscar. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Bruce Stone was my co-pilot for most of the drive yesterday. Couldn't take a decent video. @914_7t3 got to see and hear Chucky up close but no video. I will upload one later.

Prius MODE

Chucky MODE

Both serve their purpose.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Chucky got lipstick today....with luck I can make WCR 2020 in November.

My high-school friend who owns the paint shop promised 2-3 week turnaround , but at 6 weeks now. I guess I'm fortunate.
