914 Info, Can we get some more info posted? Options

[Air_Cooled_Nut]

I totally scored on five Pedrinni (gas-burner) alloys this weekend for my 914. I also found a 1973 dealership booklet about the 914 and on the cover is what my car originally looked like (see my avitar). Now, it appears my car came with some Appearance Package items (roll bar trim, fogs, chrome bumpers, dual tone horns) but didn't seem to get the center console. Then again, if it did come with the console it would've been a 914S and had a 2.0L (my badging says 1.7L). My confusion lies (lays?) in the wheels. It may have come with steel rims but the cover shows the Pedrinnis. If the 2.0L got the 2-litre Fuchs then what got the gas-burners? Was that another rim option or ¿?

So...can we get a definitive list of the rims available, along with a quality picture, for each year/car?

I've got some usefull stuff to add to the "914 info" pages
Some good general info on the 914/6 GT, 916 and 914/8
Paint codes as well

I think some wheel info would be usefull to put up as well.
We've had that talk a little while back already where people posted pics, so I'll have to search, but we'll get there

There are some requests on the "feature requests" forum that we will dig into too

There's plans to add a members gallerie as well and we will put up a page with links to member sites and sites with general 914 info

Prolly more that I can't think of right now... so we won't be bored this winter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think we should put together a knowledge base on how to do various things with the car - common problems, common upgrade paths with pros and cons of each upgrade, etc. A lot of things get covered with threads, but then you have to read through the threads to extract the value. Something sort of like the pelican parts articles, but with better UI and better searching.

I would be happy to put some articles together for it.

I've also been thinking of putting a PDF together of all the useful diagrams that are around, so it can be printed out and put in a binder for garage use (not everyone has a computer in their garage like I do :-) (GEEK) ).

Just a thought,

Fiid.
