1. My 914 has super special, perfect OG German, ORIGINAL light bulbs and the one year only grey defroster vents… making it worth way more than what I just paid for it…I am so excited!

2. I dig the 914 so much, I cannot help myself…I HAVE to buy them all – because owning only one is not enough, and it’s a great opportunity to make boatloads of money

3. I don’t like the way my 914s inside door release levers work, so I am going to improve on them with infrared latch mechanisms and steering wheel controls – it will be easy-peasy and I can knock them out in no time…Then I can group buy them to all my friends…

So… tell me more about the door latch GB...

Do you mean JB?

I'm in...Mark me down for the GB.

More.....

(Spying one for sale)

Cool. I can learn to weld, paint, rewire, upholster, etc., and restore it in no time.

That's only surface rust.....

My type 4 makes 300hp

Did you put stickers on the car or just add that electric supercharger thing and a cone air filter?

electric supercharger -and- cone air filter, easy 400 rwhp

I'll get this done, back on the road, in 3 months...6 months max

I'm living this one. Life gets in the way sometimes...others I bite off more than I can chew.

Yellow is faster......

Don't cut up your original wiring harness because they only made 113,000 of them...

they are actually fiberglass

"I really do have a 914!!"

"My 914 runs!"



--DD

I just need to get it on jackstands to adjust the clutch.

I'll be driving my car this summer

While I am in there I can do this easily enough too...

My 914 had a turbo... until I removed the DAPO-applied sticker

The 914 isn't a real Porsche (NARP)!

People in PCA look down their noses at 914"s.

Woe is me, the 914 is the redheaded stepchild of the Porsche world.

"there's NO WAY the 914-6 is that much better than my 1.7/1.8/2.0... "
"OF COURSE I'll get all my investment back out of it"

Buying from a fellow World member is an assurance they're honest.

"I can fabricate that myself for waaayyy less than it costs to buy the pre-engineered kit"

My 914 is worth a ton--I restored it!
What a great investment
It's better than original with the upgrades

My wife/GF said we'll work on it together which will bring us closer so we can have more sex.

If I drive my 914 today, it won't leave me stranded on the side of the road.

Any Porsche is worth 20k. It's a classic & doesn't matter if it's about to fold in half. They are rare

I only have a couple things to fix.

+1

1. I know that if I read enough threads on how to trouble shoot the FI system on my car..I will get better at it.
2. I think it is the CHT.
3. Carburetors must work better than my FI system, they are so much easier to troubleshoot.



wonderful idea of a thread btw

FS. If my car doesn't sell for x dollars unfinished , the price finished will be A LOT MORE,

I can't find the cornering limit on my 914, so I keep going faster and faster!

That's not an oil leak. It is just a minor seep........

After completing a repair for the first time, looking over the extra parts or bolts.... I just world more efficiently than the orginal German engineer that designed the car.

I keep thinking I'll someday put it together and get it running as well as it should....
Been about 7 years since it's run in anger.

There are no rust bugs in California that will eat our cars !

It must be the ECU when:
...The engine is pretty rough when cold...
...The engine does not work when hot...
...my '76 wont a pass smog test...
...only fuel on cyls 2&4 work...
...only fuel on cyls 1&2 work...
...the black/purple coil wire melts...
...I get bucking at ~3,000 RPM...
...my AFR is so rich that the engine does not start...
...only 3 out 4 injectors squirt into a jar...
...I have fuel pressure, but none of the injectors squirt...
...I have no fuel pressure...

Jeff...you see what you've started....

If I just order _x_ new seal, it'll fix that leak in the cabin.

I just keep buying and throwing the receipts in a folder NEVER to be looked at again. Not knowing the true cost is the best.

George is an respected vendor.

"This time, I'll get the part he advertised, for sure!"

Oh-Oh....AA will make good on any shipping mistake.

My "other car" handles almost as well as the 914 does!

(Getting back in my MINI this week--boy does it feel big and heavy and artificial!)

My 914 does not look like a Fiat.

My wife will like it.

It is too a BOXSTER!

It will start at the bottom of the hill in the middle of nowhere as it begins to rain even harder.

You'll never fit that in a 914.

That is some funny
