after a long discussion about different engines in 914s (Fiid is working on a watercoold 4-cyl twin-turbo) and the recent threads about 1.7 and 1.8 engines being worthless POS and all,
i took Fiid for a ride in my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) i have a bone stock 1.8 with a 1.7 D-Jet injection. all un-needed stuff removed (no AAR, no decel valves etc.), SSI heat exchangers and a Manta muffler. i'm guesstimating a optimistic, whoooping 85HP max. (probably less) ... soooo, i took him for a ride and showed him what you can do with "just" a 1.8 in your car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) the car is understeering in tight corners ever since i put in the new shocks & springs in the back, which makes for interesting drifting (nose first (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) ... hope i didn't scare ya too much, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Andy |
