ill go ahead and introduce myself as im a regular on rennlist and recently more on here. My name is dan(xsboost90) since i used to be big time into turbo mk3 supras. Got my first porsche a year ago-89 944 and after doing alot of work/paint etc..traded it for a 924s and a 76 914 2.0. Now im in the process of rebuilding from the ground up this car including cutting out some rust-not too bad someone had already done alot-PO owned a body shop- but missed some in the floor and fenders. I also purchased a motor which has already been totally rebuilt w/ very little milage and a cam from someone local who needed more-200hp 2.0 rat motor!!- for their project. Ill go ahead and start a thread and try to keep its progress posted for those who find these things handy. I also have a couple of pics of what i plan on it to look like in the next couple months when i paint it..yes im a jack of all trades so to speak. Thanks, stay tuned.

I have these exact mirrors on my 914. They came on it when I bought it. They rock! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) One thing though, I had the 914 painted and never bothered to check the mirror placement/adjustement (never drove the 914 before I painted it) and trusted the PO's mounting. Big mistake, they are too far to the rear of the car. Make sure to mount them ahead of the quarter window post depending on how tall you are ect. So I have to look down to see through mine. Sucks, but dang, they look sweeeeeet! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) The 944 flares, go for it. I saw one 914 like 10 years ago with 944 front and rear flares. Looked like they were made for the car! I was too young and dumb to take pic's though. But looked great. |
