I just saw this thread http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=350102 about how to open the engine lid. It got me to thinking about things that "everyone knows" about our beloved little cars that was not glaringly obvious to me when I was a new owner.
So.. post your list of items that say "I was a 914 owner for X number of years before I found out....." Think of this as helping to educate new 914 owners. I will start it off: I was a 914 owner for 5 years before I found out that the left and right outer door handles are different. |

I've had my 914 for more than 30 years, but didn't realize it had a longer wheelbase than a 996 or 997…and all 911s until the 991 debuted with the same wheelbase as the 914 (2450 mm, or 96.5 inches).
Didn't know about the threaded hole in the rear trunk until recently. And didn't know about The Crack® until McMark pointed it out during my last repaint… |
