I've always wanted to throw a poll out there, so here goes.
As some of you know, I'm in the process of selling my 3.2 conversion. It is completely unbelievable to me how many potential buyers have passed on the car because it doesn't have heat, and their idea was to drive it in the Winter. I've owned 3 914s over the years, and admittedly none of them have had heat (4 or 6 cylinder). But then again, I always put them away for the Winter and have treated the car as a toy car for the most part. When the temps dropped, I dressed warm and that was that. I've scoured the classifieds for other conversions that have been listed over the past year, and I know I'm not the only conversion car without heat. maybe it's just the time of year.....maybe nobody will ask if it has heat when I relist it in the Summer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

No category for my heat in the pole.
I have a large front oil cooler that operates all the time (when >180F) and block off ~20% of it when the weather gets cool. It takes about 20 minutes to install or remove the entire system. The rest of the year It hangs on the wall. I got the idea from JT9146 who did this with his car. The only real differences were that his cooler was an auxiliary rather than the primary, and it was completely vented. I'm out of state but will add pix when I get back home. A bilge fan with speed control and hoses through to the stock heater inputs makes plenty of hot air for both defrost and heater controls to regulate. In the south with our moisture we need defrost at temps way above freezing. Even Clay would stay warm! |
