After selling my 2.8 twin plug 914-6 twenty years ago, I have never quit missing it. I bought a 84 911 about 3 years ago but it just does not fulfill the performance I am looking for and California smog laws have my hands tied. I happened to stumble on a low rust 914 and could not pass it up. It has been in dry storage for 12 years

The plan: Total frame up restoration with a 95 3.6 engine. I have a deposit on the engine already. Flares have been ordered as well. (jump right in!) I have a machine shop at my house and plan on doing 99% of the work myself.

I have been lurking a bit and I see numerous others have gone the 3.6 route. I could really use some help and suggestions on setup since this will be my first 993 engine. Mostly on oil cooling, tranny and axles. If you have done a 3.6 and are willing, please shoot me a e-mail so I can talk to you and gain some insight.

Anyway, it seems like this is a nice easy going group, any help greatly appreciated. I go by 84toy on the Pelican list.

I'm sure I would get flamed without a picture, so here is the basket case now....but not for long!

Make sure that you take lots of pictures.

welcome aboard matey!

95 as i recall is the best choice for a 3.6, nonvarioram, but hydraulic right?


nice. cant waut to see your progress. post some pics here as you go!

Welcome to the club! Sounds like a really great project. Lots of people here like watching progress threads, so if you are so inclined, feel free to start up a thread for your project.

looks like a great starting point. sounds like you already have it planned out.

Welcome to our nightmare....

You live in Sacramento & have a machine shop? You are my new friend.

Cool... welcome to the madness!

Glad you found your way back to a 914! Always remember, when you don't like that 911 anymore... it's a great donor car!

welcome!

Take lots of fuzzy pictures so we can compare them to Andy's

Try to make it to the WCC
You will meet lots of opinions...I mean nice people and can get a chance to see
what others have done. I was blown away when I went last year.
Should be worth the trip and people love giving rides in a teener.

Welcome back. I am trying to get a leash extension that would reach to Portland. If I find one that long I would need a passenger to make sure the extension doesn't catch on anything! Wanna go for a ride?

914's are like hemroids,, there a pain in the @ss and know matter what you do they keep coming back. But ya gotta love um. Welcome!

who loves hemroids?

Nice find and welcome to our madness. As for 911 to 914, you can't overlook your true nature and calling. Remember 914=verility, 911=sterility. Welcome back to your new found verility and life! Now go and plant the seeds of mayhem!

Teener blood boils.

Welcome!!!!

Good luck!!

Andrew

there's just no justice. a carrera doesn't give you enough performance and i have to lift in the turns with my 1.8L L-jet.

jeez... i sure do have a lot of hemroids then

I guess you didn't spend enough cubic cash the lst time huh?!

Welcome to the club Paul!

Is PRS your initials or a reference to the Paul Reed Smith line of guitars?
