Ambler EV is going to officially unveil our full 914 electric conversion at our grand opening June 5, 207 & 211 South Main Street, Ambler PA. For those of you in the Philadelphia area, stop by and see the future. For those of you outside the Philadelphia area, follow our page on Facebook to see more teasers as the day get closer www.facebook.com/Amblerev. For those of you attempting this yourself, I am happy to talk end specs but questions about components used or design will not be answered (EV West is your source for that). If you are interested in buying a full electric 914 (or converting your 914 roller) so that it can handle level 2 charging, has a range over 200 miles, and will no longer contain any vacuum or 40 year old EFI electronics, stop by or email me at sam@amblerev.com.

"If you wanted to preserve the rare engine, but still enjoy driving the car why would you not? The rarer the engine the more likely I would convert it, I don't see a reason to consume the last of some rare parts, just to drive the car a few times month."
Ok, rare engines come in rare cars. Drilling holes and welding brackets is a no-no to many that own cars like an old Porsche. And the ones that do modify their Porsches, want speed as a trade off. I just don't understand why not a MR2, or a Fiero. Both mid-engine cars and everyone expects them to suck and no one would care. "I don't see a reason to consume the last of some rare parts, just to drive the car a few times month." Maybe it is greedy of me to want to drive my car, it is why I own it. |
