Now that they've got a small car class in Demolition Derby, I think a 914 would do really well. What do you think?
Really

engine location good....

No radiator in the front. You don't have to back into everyone, but the tranny is exposed in the rear.


Why in the name of all that is good about 914s are we even thinking about this?????????

We have that type of derby here at the local fairs. I always wanted to try one. I found a 77 924 that runs & drives for $200. The wife doesn't think its a good idea

Because there's so many rotted out teeners that should die in a blaze of glory (not busted fuel lines type of blaze either) instead of being cut up or sent to the crusher.
Sell the glass and all the lights and that would pay for the mods, I think it's very do-able.
Start with a rotted out 75 1.8, that runs...

looking for sponsers

Do you think I'm KiDDing? C'mon People. Get on this one. A Teener in demo derby!!
You spend all day talking cheeseburgers and sawsall parties and I can't get a bite or two... WTF?

Tell you what. I'm in the mood to reply to every post on this page until SOMEBODY Gives me a real opinion about RUNNING a '75 1.8 in Demo derby. Or tell me why NOT!

Counting 10 9 8 7...

do us a favor and DON'T wear a helmet

fucking do it man, i think it's a great idea! you'll have to beef it up quite a bit, i think, but if you can manage keeping the shifter on and not having the axles broken, you might come out on top!

n (<--mad at 914s right now)

Now we're talking!!!

Chain the trans up into position, first hit in the rear and the mounting ears will break and trans will drop to the ground.
Go For it.

I'm tired of this game.
But I do think it's do-able With or with out you!!
WTB '75 1.8 roller....

WOOHOO! I LOVE THAT IDEA! ROFLMAO Dave!

Tube frame, ask Paul Woodbirdie what he did, and do the exact opposite.



I am thinking this thing needs BIG paddle wheels, and a /6.

Thanx Red,
I knew you'd come thru!!

You will need the late doors with the crash protection in them. Put some kind of spring under the top so when it gets hit you can pop the top off like the head did on the old rock em sock em robots

I raced a 914 at a circle track in Maine for three years, buy 75, 76 exhaust pipes and put turndown pipes on them(no mufflers), weld doors and bumpers on!!
good luck!!

Yo Davee

A 914 and a rotted one would break in half on the first hit, I bett even the targa would touch the windshield frame

You better take pics when you do it !

later
