The return of project Scarlet, Back at it Options

[AndyB]

As the title reads this is my build off thread. First this is what the car looked like when I picked her up in 2011, she was on conceinmeent.




Oh she was beautiful in her 1.8 glory. The car had 4 owners and all the paperwork to include the window sticker. Since owning her I have put over. 30k miles on her. That is more than the previous three owners combined. I have driven her through snow and rain. Earlier this year the engine went from 0 r.p.m. To turned off the ignition when it climbed past 7k, it was too late. I spun the bearings and made some round holes oval.

A 2.2 liter 4 cylinder air cooled. Same engine that those who drove it know it's pull. I need to bring it back, I don't like not having a running car. Ambitious that depends. Ever ride shotgun in a 914? I did and did not enjoy it. Driver was a great guy.

LOL That's only cuz I kept stalling your 914 Baby - between it's stiff gas linkage, my big running shoe's sole catching on the center console .... oh, & mostly due to my not having driven my own nor any 914 for a quarter of a century! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Good choice! The 2.2 & the Raby 2270's etc. can be set up with as much HP as the 70s flat-6's - but without the added weight of the extra bank of cylinders.

I'm guessing carbed, but watch out for the PMOs - ask Dave W./toolguy on here before you look at them, if you're considering PMOs.
