Hello Everyone,
..so i just bought my first porsche.. a '76 914 w/ 911 "Chalon" bodykit (what i was told, any way ya'll can confirm the year.. suspicion that it might be a '74)
after browsing the forums for a while it seems like i may have gotten in over my head.. i dont know much about engines (VERY little actually) but im not TOO unfamiliar with workin on cars.. my past project was a '98 chevy blazer. ( i know, apples and oranges)
anyways just trying to see what are some common upgrades, some common quickfixes, common annoyances or anything else i should look out for.
i also believe i have the 2.0L engine correct?
also, i have not been able to find a list of stuff that is easily compatible with the 914 such as 911 parts and such... i think i may be needing to replace the "master cylinder" and not sure where to start..
where do ya'll (yes im from texas lol) order all your parts from and where do you take your old cars to get serviced when a professional is needed?
Thanks for you time,
look forward to being an active member here!
