Porsche 914-6 content inside...

it's nice, but it's also time to take off that front brake.

Not happening. I also ride with a helmet! Aren't I just not cool enough to ride a fixie at all?

Riding without a brake and/or a helmet is plain fucking stupid to me. But that's not what this thread is for, so stop shitting it up noob.

Oh but they can be fast, have seen some ludicrous speed twin plug turbo 914-6 cars done. They are great for auto-X short wheelbase and low cg.

yeah well what isn't fast with a tuuuurrbooo.. ? too much of a reliability pita though for a track car. i'm always seeing folks with turbos at the track doing more wrenching than driving.

Yup agree with you.

Clean ass car you spotted Josh - a proverbial go-kart for the street.

My mechanic friend Ron Kain used to own a heavily modded 914-6 (yes - he hacked up an original) but the end result was nothing short of insane. 3.4L w/ Motec which dyno'd at 350+bhp and fiberglass panels & gutting which brought its weight down to sub-2,000 lbs.

Here's a shot of it in its latest form - he recently sold it to a good friend so I think he gets to flog it once in a while...

914-6 is my dream car. with flares and slammed. and of course, obnoxiously loud. like all my other cars.

Does nothing for me. :shrug:

I have a raging boner for that last hacked up 914-6.

I have a raging boner for that last hacked up 914-6.

That car is really sexy, but hacked up? I dunno bout that... it looks really well build judging from that pic.

Shit i'd love to own any of those 5 Porsche's in that pic.

The 914 was suppose to be my project car in highschool but the E30 stole my heart...and my lunch monies. Still a great looking car!

[Huff]

I guess this is the closest to a 914 thread.. I miss mine and hope to get back in one some day (hopefully a 6 next time around). It's cool working by Auto Atlanta, there museum is AMAZING in person. It really is 914 heaven.. So here's some of my favorite pics:










Some cool vintage pics:

Man, Ive wanted one of those since High School. So fun, but so expensive to own.

My Dad picked up a 914 project recently. He'll be dropping in a 6 and turning it into a mostly-track car.

I've seen some really cool track 914s at Sebring and Daytona. One of my all time favorites we call the "stove-pipe" car. It had a huge pipe through the passenger area bringing fresh air back to the engine. It looked awesome, fucking screamed around the track, and had outrageously wide flares and wheels. SCCA GT-1 class if I recall correctly.

[der affe]

let me know when you get started on your conversion. i did mine and can help you aviod some of the pitfalls you will run into.

I was looking at 914's when I discovered E30's as cheaper (?) and having more seats and trunk space. The stock 914-6 only had 110HP gross, so was not much faster than the 4-cylinder version. I see these cars being built with late-model (mid-90's) 3.6L lumps in magazines, but you're talking huge money there. I've seen several with small block chevys in them, the trouble there is that there's no reasonably-priced transaxle that can survive the torque. I had to give up on the idea, but still love the styling.
