Searching the site and google for the answer to...

Is this shifter really for 914-6 only???

Thanks

I am looking at the slot behind the shift lever and saying yes (hand throttle).
Socalandy
What about the longer shift rod and it is bent back at more of an angle. I was told it was -6 specific but never seen a -6 wih one like thiis

My baby has new shoes and off to the shop tomorrow to check for clearance but I think I'm good from my measurments.

Toyo Proxes4 205/55/16 up front and 225/50/16 in the back

Those should be fine. I'll be running 245/45/16's in the rear & 225/45/16's up front. Now finish those damn flares evilgrin.gif . Looking good Andy! Your really under the gun to drive that to Route 66 though happy11.gif

So nice to see this car being brought back to life! beer.gif

Passenger side flare is on and checked the fit with tires. Perfect in back and I may need a 1/2 - 3/4" spacer up front.

I wish I had some weight in the car to see a better ride height . This weekend will be both fronts and finish welding.
Socalandy
Kents nice tacing work welder.gif
Socalandy
A little more work after finding some more rust in the front fenders, worse on the pass. side and wasted the lower channel. so the front flares are on hold til this is done

rear flares are completely welded and ground smooth. All I do these days is think about driving this car wub.gif

Sweet! Those look very nice.
Socalandy
Well the flares sure look nice in raw metal but now after the prep and primer I cant wait to see them in a high gloss canary yellow. I was worried about the sail pannels from the start since they were so bad but all the trim fits perfect. Thanks to my buddy Kent and Restoration Design !!

Too bad no one can find the molds for those factory flares. The tops are so smooth compared to the wrinkles in the aftermarket pieces! They are gorgeous!
AZ914

It's not the molds that are wavy, it's the way the metal gets pulled and stretched over the mold. It's not perfect but since Porsche isn't making more of these, it's the best we can get.

Awesome work ... first.gif !!! Engine looks imaculate sunglasses.gif !!! Was that valve cover wrinkle sprayed on or powder coat?
