Porsche 914-6 content inside...

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.

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.

Excellent! We are getting ready to get cranking on my buddy's 914 build.

Turbo WRX motor + monster flares = fucking win.

like was said before, clean car, not concourse though. the b pillar should be covered on vinyl, not painted (i painted mine, i think it looks better that way); not all 914-6 had the flares it was std on the GT and if you had enough $ could be ordered as an option. most likely those were fiberglass add on flares. maybe fiberglass bumpers or the chrome was painted (lower portion) IIRC you could not get them in black on the 914-6 and the GT/GTS. came with different front bumpers.

still a nice clean car though.

comming from a 914-6 owner though, they are nice, fun, primative, cars. the orginal 2.0, while fast for it's day, is kind of meh for today. i have the 2.4 190hp euro S motor (mechanical injected ITB's) in mine (the same motor that came in the 914-6 GT/GTS). it is better, but my BMW is faster and has way better torque, making it more fun to drive. the brakes were scarry when you needed to slow down in a hurry unless you did some work to them. if you put K&N filters and a good exhaust/header combo they sound like an old grand prix car (it'll make you turgid just reving the motor!)

you are also motorcycle invisable to cars, and it gets worse when you lower them (of course mine is).

if you ever make it to scottsdale, Josh, i'll take you for a ride in it.

Man that car looked great. I saw one of these in panama city last weekend.

nice.. saw a ton of them at the pca track event at watkins glen last weekend. not particularly fast but looks like they handle well with the mid engined layout.

Metal flares or replica? Many just make em look to -6 replica. Highly doubt if it was real it was left on the street over night.

Nice car, I'd drive one. Got to drive an early 4 cylinder variant some time ago, oversized go kart better than a Miata at the time with proper upgrades and with added engine tweaks very fun.

my old neighbor in north providence had one in silver. it's also important to note that he had one of the first year 914-6's and only 20k on the clock on his garage kept car.

Oh and PS: Those N3000s are very concours-like

I drove a 914-6 before. My neighbor had one. I loved the car. Killed me when he sold it for some semi-new-but-not-really boxster.

The 914 i saw earlier today.

That color fits that car perfect.
