I made them to look like the 935 Turbo. Same count on each. They actually are Zeis fasteners and work. You can get right in there and work on brakes, etc.

Hi guys,
I should have joined a long time ago. I've been a 914 guy for many years and am presently building a Euro 3.6 (993) engined, 915 Vellios trannied, GT2 PCCB front braked 914. The car is being built from the last bolt up and from chemically-dipped bare metal up. It's not quite street-ready, but I have driven it once.
Sorry for my ignorance, but the pictures I have are not on a website. How do I post one? The IMG button brings up a box that asks me for a web address (I have a Mac running OS X). I have MANY pictures and I love to share them.

Here's my 1970 914/6, I bought it in Austin TX about 3 years ago, and have had a great time with it. I just moved to Huntsville AL and as soon as I buy a house and get settled in I'm going to start restoration.

Good to hear from you Stan!!
I don't know if you remember me.
I used to work for Cabletron and was assigned to Visa.
I still have the 914-6 heat exchangers you game me.
They are currently installed on my 3.2 in my 914.
Nothing like having heaters in the winter.
thanks again!!!

Hey Joe... whats that in your front trunk? A distillery for bourbon?

Aug 30 2004, 11:56 PM
I don't distill, I ferment. My best friend here owns a microbrewery.
Anyway, that's the oil tank. Five gallons of Mobile 1, thank you very much. And yes, that's $100 per oil change, not including the TWO filters. I've done EVERYTHING but the paint and still have almost $50,000 in it. It's going to financially kill me, but I was hooked on 914s at age 12.

I just wanted to say hello. I'm very excited to finally post. I own an awesome original 914-6. It's been featured in several magazines before we purchased it. It was made by the owner of Kinesis wheels and sports one-of-a-kind red wheels. I'll post some pictures. It has a 3.2 L 911 engine making around 250 hp. It has a custom exhaust by Midwest Eurosport that sounds amazing. We haven't taken the engine fully apart, so we're not exactly sure what mods were done in there. It has factory flares, koni shocks, AJ racing seats, Simpson harnesses. It is an great car. If I could post a video of it, that would be very cool, but I haven't figured out how. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I saw a write up in 911 World (English mag) on that blue car several years ago. It is very very sweet. Always wondered what happened to it. Glad to see it here with the rest of the cool 914 guys.
Welcome aboard!!

Wow, nice job digging up all those old pictures. I've seen a couple pictures, the ones on the Kinesis website and I have a copy of the magazine article at home. We've made some changes to the car since we bought it though. It wasn't properly taken care of for a while and the wheels now have permanent stains on them, but we might get them re-anodized sometime soon. The old Supertrapp exhaust was replaced with a much much better custom exhaust. Again, if someone can tell me how to post a video, I will. I have a great video of it starting up. I also have tons of in-car video from Gingerman and other tracks. I have much better pics too, but they are too big, and I couldn't post them.

Hey Ben,
I may have a build sheet on that Engine somewhere around here. AJ built it in San Diego (I believe). The owner at that time (up in Canada somewhere) was trying to sell it to me.
When I was a Chicagoian Brian and George did all the work on my car. Good guys. I got my factory Recaro RS seats from them... and the radio that's currently in my 914-6.
Cool ride.
ben14142001
Sep 1 2004, 11:27 AM
Yes, that is guy we bought it from. I think he is from Ontario, not exactly sure. But, Brian and George are awesome. They've helped alot. We also belong to the Autobahn Country Club that is opening in Joliet. Brian and George bought a large section to build a garage on. It should be loads of fun. If you can dig up those engine sheets that would be great. I'd like to know what's inside. Thanks.

Ben,
Looked for the build sheets but they were on another computer that I turned back in to the office. Gone for good I believe.
The guy in Canada should have PDF's or you can contact Alan Johnson Porsche in San Deigo. I'm sure they would have details and/or remember the $19k rebuild! Everything on that motor was new. The Webers came out of a box. They had pictures of the build in process...
Good Luck.

It's a country club, except instead of golfing, you race. Link:
http://www.autobahncountryclub.net/ This should give all the details. It looks fantastic. Take a looksy at the site, it should answer all your questions. The paint on the car used to be better. We've gotten it repainted already. Some of previous owners did not care for it as well as they should of. Sad really. But, it looks great after a wax. Oh yes, btw, I'm looking for another set of the mirrors that are on the car. They are the same ones that are in the pictures. The driver's side one fell off and I cant find new ones. So, if anyone has any lying around or something similar I would be very interested. Thanks

Hi, still quite new here and after asking about maybe getting a 914 from the US, ebay came up trumps and I bought a pretty together one here in the UK for the right money !!
