904s have always been one of my top 5 sexiest, coolest, neatest cars, period. Ever since I knew what a 914 was all about, there's a special place in my heart for them as well. This kit/mod/whatever car..... well.... no thank you, much prefer it just be a 914.

no
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) that was a mistake dr914. an aesthetic disaster? glad you can laugh about it now. i hope you did not contribute to the f$ck up of too many good 914s with that offering? i'm glad the super functional weirdo german styling of the original factory offering is finally getting appreciated against a contemporary back drop of steroid pumped-up mobile orthopedic shoes - without the aid of nostalgic adaptions. |

Wow. Where is that administrator, threating to hand out time outs like party favors?
I thought we could only say positive, not truthful statements! I think they make up rules as they go.... "You guys are being dicks. Seriously, knock it off. Keep it up and there will be Time Outs passed around like party favors. headbang.gif ALL 914s with ALL drivetrains are welcome here. If you have a problem with it, just don't post. Post in the threads with drivetrains that you approve of." admin Dr. 914 the car looks great. Matt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

Not for me, proportions don't look right next to an actual 904.
Why hack up a 914 when you can buy a Beck 904? Granted, this 914 was probably done 20 years ago. |

904 is one of my favorite cars. When this first came out I thought it was cool, but after looking closer, not so much. It captures some of the lines of a 904, but the proportions are all off. The first version had a unique treatment of the deck lid that looked like it was designed to slow you down. I'd like to see one in person. At the end of the day, it's your car so do what makes you happy.

Matt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) you are right. i take back what i said. was a bit caustic. my excuse was i fell back in time 30 years when i used to look at 914 update kits with puzzlement. i was a fan of the original styling during a period when a lot of porsche snobs canned it. but ...... the chalon, this 9104 kit and others are interesting in and of themselves.

I mean, it is interesting. It really makes me think of those 'what if' scenarios of how the car would have changed over time if they kept building it.
