Ha! I've embarassed more than a few people in their "sports cars" with my 914/6 (2.4l). It still has the stock 914/4 tranny, too (tailshift). I've never driven a 914/4, and couldn't imagine my car with any less HP.

I blew the doors off an M coupe the other day...

Being faster than an M coupe would be nice. Honestly I hadn't aspired that high yet. I mostly would like to be faster than average cars and SUVs. It kinda sucks getting put in your place by a woman in a Camary. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Spoil? How so? I don't intend to cut it up.



I wont be cut up but you will have ever seem in the car riped with that kind of power and torque..then you will have to weld stiffners here and there.hence cut up ...BUT its is your car so good luck ..and it is very nice the way it sits and worth more money...dont forget bigger brakes

Granted, the car will need a few cuts here and there. The upgrade path is quite well laid out for these cars. What works is know and has been time proven. Time proven solutions to know issues will likely be applied when needed, be it cut or weld. Though the car took a nice photo, I would not say it is pristine. The dealership already had their fun with this car cutting holes for the A/C. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)
I certainly wouldn't want to destroy a historic vehicle, but I don' think this case applies. Ultimately the car would be worth more to me with a six and I don't have plans of ever selling it.

Do It!!! Do It!!! Do It!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The only suggestion I would make, is to get all your parts before starting, so atleast the car is drivable for the mean time...

I have just about everything already.
I just need to figure induction issues out. It would be nice to just use the CIS, because it fits the personality I would like the car to have. The poor fit in the 914 bugs me though.

Follow your hart and don't look back. Drop the engine an inch and look into an Audi airbox. There was a thread about it here.

Do Webbers!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I love em, but they need to be setup correctly, for awhile you could find deals on webbers (when gas was high). I average around 17mpg.

Some times you can find a good deal on motronic too...

I have lost interest in trying to get the 3.0l to fit "well". I want to sell it and get a 3.2l.

Sweet looking car. Everyone has an opinion of course.
On the 3.0, I would look into metal fuel lines instead of the rubber ones. Pop off valve is a must as if that box blows it will not want to make it home.
That tranny is very nice!

He said it was a 1.8, weren't all the LE's 2.0s?

So if it IS an LE and someone along the way swapped out the 2.0 for a 1.8, I'm thinking stuffing that 3.0 in it is only going to enhance the value of it.

Sailfin rolled off in the desert heat, white e-tape is now covering the holes for the chrome trim. And it is a 1.8 for sure, incredibly reliable though...undeniably. The optional wheels and missing front airdam may have thrown you off with the LE call. If this is a rare car by all means please tell me now.

Thanks. I know it's odd to have a trans worth more than the engine, but that is how this project is gonna roll. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
May do some power upgrades later. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

P.S. - Got SS fuel lines installed. The old vinyl ones scared the sh*t out of me. Especially with moving to a front mount high pressure pump.

Anyone try flipping the intake 180° on the 3.2 to retain the stock airbox?
