Here's a better picture of my 914.

schweet!

welcome to the club!!

welcome! bienvenidos..etc

interesting..rear flares only. like the aesthetics of it

Thanks!!
It's a daily driver with a Euro 3.2 and stock DME Injection.
It started life as a 2 liter in 86.
Later in 86 I installed a 2.7 with Webers.
Two years ago the 2.7 started pulling head studs so I replaced it with the 3.2.
I tried multiple combinations and ended up with:
Front
21 mm front torsion bars.
22 mm weltmeister adjustable sway bar.
205-50-16 tires.
Rear
140lb springs
Stock rear sway bar
245-45-16 tires.
This combination got rid of the throttle induced oversteer and its not to stiff for the street.
Some day I will get the money to install steel GT flairs and paint it.

Nice car Steve !!

I love the silver 914's with GT flares.

Thanks!!!
This 3.2 conversion was the best thing I ever did to this car.
It's so much more funner to drive than the carbureted 2.7.
Wiring up the DME was a total joke and a lot less hassle than carbs.

Steve

???????


Just messin', I'm sure I'll get some fingers for that

Here is my 73' 2.0. 95% done

Jrust... what color is that?! looks very sweet dude!

It is a dark metalic blue!Just picked it off a color chart. I am afraid it is a Volvo color . What can I say I loved the color. Not stock but oh well . About to put t up for sale too. It's killing me.

who cares if it was a stock color.. it looks sweet on that car!

I thought funner was a word??
I'm not used to sending emails without a spell checker.

Before the great rains.

Another.

yup, looks like the color that was on my volvo wagon

Greetings all,

I believe this is my first posting to this site. Spend most of my time over at PP. Couldn't resist checkin out all the beautiful teeners.




Enjoy!

I helped you out a little.

Welcome to the board... we are little more laid back here...LOL

Great car..great color !!

My 74 with new paint and mods.
RB....

I love that car Rods!

willkommen!

My new 6 project!

Jeff

very nice!!! looks great man!

welcome to the board!!!!!!!

Allow me to show off my '74. I can take no credit for its appearance. The PO bought it new and only put 30,200 total miles on it. Even with such little use, he took great care of the car. What I find most unusual is the modifications on such a low-mile car (he entered local PCA autocross and concours in the southeast, car is from Tennessee). Has externally adjustable Konis with movable spring perchs, hard bushings, 911 front brakes, Weltmeister truss bar, factory sway bars (car was originally a 1.8) and custom 5 gauge console. The paint is entirely original except the obvious rocker panels and 916 type glass bumpers. The bumpers were added in 1992 when the car had 25K miles. Unfortunately he did not keep the originals. I bet they were nice. I got it with a blown 1.7 race engine in a crate. My only contribution has been to install a carbed 2.0. When I get the carbs right it will run as good as it looks (that's why the engine lid is not on yet).

Are those ATS wheels? I love those. Great car!

Front view (yes, ATS)

Interior showing console, oil pressure, oil temp, head temp, volts, clock........

Not sure why interior pictures are so poor (maybe it's the photographer). I added the mats to protect the carpet. PO drove it with bare floors and only put the floor carpet down for shows. I'm not that fussy.

Another "foggy" interior shot

Ever wonder what the area behind the gas tank looked like in the 70's?

WOW! super nice Jim
I didn't know anything could look that clean!
bruce

Good God that is clean. Seats look to be perfect. Gas tank area is mint!

I drool on your car!!

so purty it brings a tear to my eye!!

Yah whats the deal with the poor pics comment Jim! If those pictures suck I can't imagine what it really looks like! Oh yes I can I have seen it . I'd love to have that 914. What a sweet ride

OK, now show em' the rear runk, battery tray, spare tire well.....make em' cry.

If the thing had a fatboy 6, I'd cry.

WOW!!!
That's simply amazing!
Make sure you take good care of it

cheers,

Jeroen

I have lurked long enough - I must post pics !!
The original post said no conversions, but ... ahem ... *cough* it looks stock enough, yes?

From the rear...

Here's the hand stitched leather and suede interior. My butt gets warm fuzzies just thinking about it !!

And finishing up (just lots of separate posts to get my 'number of posts' up
This was taken at a "volkswagens on the green" show.

Here's a final picture...
Most info about the car can be found on my homepage - with many more pictures.

damn mountain, that is one bad ride. must be fast, she's yellow.

Sadly I don't ow one yet

sweet ride mountain! looks like 90mph without even moving... very slick.

I'm tellin ya... yellow is the secret !!
Thanks all !! This is a most rewarding project, but not without its challenges (and wallet-tapping requirements)!

New pic of my car with "new" 6/7x16 Fuchs

another view

Niiiiice...!

I got wood looking at that beautiful car!

Thanks for the "supportive" comments. The paint looks better in those pics than it does in real life. The PO painted it on a really humid day...its got some runs in the clear coat. As my friend says, "...it looks good from far, but it's far from good." I absolutely love the car. I cannot take any credit for the build of the car (except the Fuchs and brand new Kumho V700's). The PO basically built it from a bare tub. The minimal rust that it had was repaired and it was built for the track. Mild 2.0 w/ dual Webers, 911 struts, 911 calipers and vented rotors all around, Weltmeister swaybar, Konig sport seat, 5-point harnesses, and a Fuel Safe fuel cell. Let me know if anyone is interested in seeing some other pics.

Thanks
Brian

Very Nice, Mountain and Bravo! I like the rear flair and rocker treatment on the Mountain car. Bravo's silver with the polished rim 16's is striking. What size tires are on the silver car? Also, how much fender rolling and massaging was done to fit the 7" wide rims? I am running 205/55 series with my 6X16's and I have always thought that maybe a 50 series tire would be better proportioned to the car. Dave
