Newbie on the 914 board - just bought a '74 2.0 from my uncle (who bought the car new). It's actually in transit from Florida and supposed to arrive tomorrow. In anticipation of its arrival (and my desire to get it on the road asap) I'm looking for some guidance.
The car's been sitting. He started it monthly and let the oil come to temp but other than moving onto the transporter it's really not been run much. I'm planning to change the oil right away and probably flushing brake fluid, inspecting pads, and replacing ignition parts in the next couple weeks. Anything else I should be aware of? I'm not unfamiliar with VW engines but it's been awhile and never owned a 914 (though lusted for years!). Thanks in advance. Aaron in Indianapolis |

You are in for the time of your life, I just wish I could see the reaction on your face the first time you get her up to speed and enjoy the handling!! Check your TIRES!!! Enjoy, listen to this group as they are the best in the world for support, information and education as it pertains to this great, epic sportscar. The one thing I would say is be prepared to be patient when you shift with the Porsche 901 Transmission, most are fickle, and prefer a pause between gears, this is not a Honda gearbox! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) That said the gears are set well for low horsepower momentum driving and you will love the whole experience of driving this gem!! Again welcome to a great club (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
