Michelle and I picked up our new to us 914-6 over the weekend. We practiced social distancing and kept safe. Two days home, 920 miles, the 914 never missed a beat.
Here's a picture at a rest stop about 30% of the way home. Attached thumbnail(s)

Is the case aluminum? There's $10k right there!
I'd like to see more pics of the exhaust when you get them. 993 shouldn't be that bad for flow, Porsche was getting better with exhaust systems by then. That size of cats and they're away from the engine, hot but shouldn't cause issues. Nice score, I knew you'd be back into a /6. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
