Maybe look it up on the Porsche or Porsche Museum websites where they covered this car - which they had dubbed "914-S". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// yes.......i can see because its coming out of the rhs of the car that it must be adapted somehow (but directly adapted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ) from the 908 or the 917s........ their shifter was on the rhs sill too, (or a 917 anyway). that shifter rod must do some weird things once it gets inside the cabin to get to the central shifter? wonder what it shifts like --- (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) i've not seen anything much on this car in terms of detailed tech. these were the first images i had ever come across of what its like underneath. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) nothing on the porsche website or museum. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) also some wild looking fuel line routing and insulation wrapping. wonder if it suffered from vapor lock. or are they oil lines?
