So, after being sold a car with a blown engine, and 2 years of rebuilding an amazing 2.4, with all of the upgrades, ideas and tips from this amazing group and help from the best aircooled Porsche techs in the business, this happened today.

I am heartbroken for you my friend. I hope everything insurance wise works out and you can get into another 914 ASAP. The saving grace is you are ok.
Now for some tough love to all 914 owners out there, take a hard look at that picture. You are not putting that fire out with a Element extinguisher or those little small ones you keep next to the passenger seat. Go to Amazon and buy a Purple k fire extinguisher. The bigger the better. Practice what you would do in case of a fire. If you have a rain tray you better unlatch the engine hood ASAP like before your even stopped. Heat with distort latching mechanisms and you may not get it open. With no rain trays you can spray right through the grate. Yeah yeah yeah....it cost to much......it takes up to much room. Sorry look at that burnt 914 again and tell me why you wouldn’t put one in your car. |
