Porsche 914-6 content inside...

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:

I don't know how often you get over to auto atlanta, but last I saw it (Right before the Porsche Parade in Charlotte) it was a sad sight. The Museum was a pile of shit and the rest of it was just awful. George is a dick too. Has a good reputation for being a fraud and stealing parts off of cars. His "Authentic" Creamsicle is fake as it gets, I stood behind him as he coloured in things that were supposed to be black with a sharpie. And you could see the old green paint under the light ivory in a few places if you looked hard enough. But I do admire his apparent effort to atleast appear to change his ways. And his 916 is cool.

when you do the conversion look for a 3.2 carerra motor (C-2) non CIS complete! it will be easier to set up the fuel system with pulsed injection VS CIS.

a complete turn key motor will let you have AC and everything and supply you with more than enough power.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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...

Yup agree with you.
