OK I still haven't got my 914-6 but I will very soon I swear. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Looking at photos I noticed that the air going into the radiator is then forced down under the car. So couldn't it be ramped up and thru a hole in the hood? And while your at it have a fuel cell made that fits down under the ramp so it is mounted lower. Again forgive my noobness. But from looking at pictures here this seems like a possible idea, |

Your lookin at oil coolers for the 9146's. 6's are oil cooled..
Radiators are much bigger than that... and in a 914 that has and engine in need of h20, then the radiator takes up almost all of the front trunk. |

haha see I wasn't lying when I said I didn't know much about these cars
Actualy I wasn't sure if it was an oil cooler or radiator since I was thinking the motors are air cooled. I know hondas and toyotas. Porsche is gonna be quite an experience I think. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |

What he wants to see is a fuel cell and an oil cooler in the trunk location...
it has been done, and its a tight squeeze. Dont worry about a fuel cell... You dont need it till you are tracking the car heavy.... and your wallet doesnt need it either! (1k a pop?) I dont have any pics, but Im sure others do.. |
