After seeing Bretts post this morning on his project car (which is pretty darn cool), I was wondering what point is the car no longer a "914"

Is the line crossed when a different make of motor is put in?? almost any German motor is okay in my book

To you is an Audi motor okay but not a Subaru?
sorry, I cannot do the Suby, it's just "wrong" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

As much as I like the full tube frame cars, they are no longer a 914, just an image of one.....

Suspension: Would swapping to modern P-car parts be okay? such as using the suspension from Boxster, I like the idea, but not allowed in PCA except X or fun runs I think

What about all new and non-P-car designed suspension?
