Latest Picture of my latest 914 project. Just drove it back from the paint shop yesterday. They did a so-so job. Right behind the front fenders, they block sanded too far down and now you can see where the fiberglass flares are bonded to the car. Ugh. I will get that fixed next spring. For now, I want to get this 914 back on the road so my wife and I can enjoy some PCA events before summer is gone! I will post another more completed picture in a few weeks.

My creamiscle in Colorado. Recently rescued form storage yard after and now on the road. Last registered in 1988.

Nice! All you need to find is the little red colored jackhole covers!

Nice Ron. See ya Sunday at Gmund.

Here's my baby. Brought brandy-new in 1971. Recently added 3.2l, 996 TT brakes, 9"&10"x18" wheels, full rollcage, Boxster S transmission. Baby goes like snot, stops on a dime, corners on rails and shifts smooth as butter. Did I miss any cliches?

A Dream 914!

abc, don't preview your post and keep pics under 300kb

Another picture update. The body is close to being put back together. August 20th is getting close and I havent even pulled the engine yet for the 6 swap. I plan on hitting that this weekend if I can get the rest of the body squared away. Part of the hold up is waiting on some parts for a couple other cars I am working on. I have turned away other work so I can finish my car for the next few weeks.

Oops, pictures....

One more...

Hey Peter,
Here ya go, Nice Cars..

Is that Summer Yellow? I've dont remeber actually seeing one of those.

I want to go to Red Rocks someday.....

IIRC, the color code for Summer Yellow and Sunflower Yellow is the same... the name changed in 75/76.

-Rusty

Here's a picture of my 1973 914-6 conversion.

Looks very clean!!!

wow. nice fiberglass work.

New look in the front. Thanks to Camp914 for the fog lights and Bill for the bumper pad.

One more. Now if I could find a way to allign those flippings lights.

my car...almost ready for paint.....

got azenis????

weber 44's, 2.0 euro pistons, cb manifolds and linkage

Aaron-Tell us more about the tires you have on the rear and size.

Mack

I guess I should finally add some of my own pics. She's not as gorgeous as most people's on here but she's mine.

Gotta love the license plate.

Hips. Yeah the PO did a great <_< job with the flares....not

Some rare gauge options! It's hard to see but the top one is a kind of "fuel" gauge, the middle is Volts (0-140ish) and the bottom is Amps (0-500) baby!

This is the Oh Shit! Switch:

And lastly... You guys are always talking 1.8L this and 2.0L that... well I couldn't figure out how many liters mine is so just for scale that's 1.0L right next to it....I'm guessing it's about an 8.0L!!!!

How 'bout the pic this time...

Very cool Shannon, thanks for posting. what's your range? how much power to you put out?

Falken Azenis 205 50 15

Shannon,
do you worry about using the radio, lights, air blower etc...while driving. Is there enough range/power to do that stuff and not hurt your mileage?

Sean - Great question. Actually that stuff doesn't add up too much compared to all the power running to the motor. Let's say I'm running about 20kw to the motor - the 100 watt stereo (yeah right! ) doesn't really factor in. Basically I still have a separate 12 volt battery for all the 12volt appliances. It could drive all that stuff by itself. In fact for safety reasons (like running hazard lights and headlights) it's important to have a separate 12volt battery if the traction pack detonates or something.

The 914 is I think by far the best car to convert to electric. The aerodynamics kick ass compared to most current production cars! It has space for all the lead. It's a chick magnet. What else could you want!

The range really really really depends on your driving habbits. Drive like all you auto-x guys and you'd probably get about 30-40 miles. Drive like there is a cop following you.... you can get close to 100 miles. I usually fall somewhere in between. A couple of green light drag races on the way to work followed by some nice highway cruzin and I can get about 60 miles. The weirdest part is being able to take my foot off the go pedal and coast for miles like I have cruise control! (no compression to slow you down!)

This is the Oh Shit! Switch:

Aaron, are those Falkins sticky... like good enough for AX and street?

Shannon, what's that Oh shit switch do? give ya extra power when yer low?

.......b

So will you bring the car out to the next 914 Breakfast later this month Shannon? We would all like to see it and meet you...we wil be within your range...

Do you know Otmar and have you seen the Pop-E car?

Bruce - The OSS is the equivalent of the fuel cut-off switch if things have gone very very wrong.

Jeff - I'd love to but alas as you can see in the first picture, there is something missing. My tranny is up at HPH getting rebuilt. Also it is very close to my wife's due date! Our first child is due somewhere in the next few weeks. We need a ":givingbirth:" smilie... wait um nevermind....

yes, Ottmar and I have met. I admire him greatly.

The Falkin's are awesome AX tires. I can't tell the difference between my Yokahoma's Advants ($180/each) and my new Falkins ($75/each). Unless you are a pro autocrosser, I would get the Falkins and rack up the seat time.

check fender clearance! i can get a finger (.5 - 3/4 inch) in there at MAX neg camber....

I've been a lurker here for a while. My project has sat un-attended for the last 9 months due to job pressures. Have cut out, cleaned, and welded in the usual places. Painted last year. Now plan to re-start assembly this September. Here is my first try at posting a picture.

that looks very nice!

yellow is faster . . .

nice car, can't wait to see it finished

Sean,
Turn 10 at Putnam. Hope to see you there for the Club Race.
Van

I'll be there, but not driving.

Here's my '70 914-6. I spent six years restoring it from a wreck, and installed an '89 3.2 motor.
