9,984 members here. How many hateful PM's have you gotten ? I'm pretty sure it is a SMALL percentage. Were it me I'd out the a-holes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Keep up the good work, and post some more video (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Looks nice man. I'm a little curious how you open your doors? Having filled the door handle spot. Is there no handle? Just an electric lock with remote & pops open when you push a button (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) .

Craig,
Your car looks awsome, great conversion. Is the tach accurate? 7K at the drop of a hat. How about mounting the camera and taking a speed run. I like the front end and rad set up you shouldn't have any cooling problems.

I wouldn't begin to wonder who would send negative PM's on your car. These cars are a blank canvas to let the artist create their vision.....
Great job.

WTF?? Hateful PM's? You have every right to do what you want to YOUR car with YOUR money!
I've been posting here about my Suby conversion for a few years and everyone had the decency (and guts) to comment "face to face". This is a great crowd!

BTW - I'll be taking my 914AROO to a local track on Monday - hopefully for some decent videos - finally!

Thanks for the support. I guess there are just a handful of a-holes out there.
Yes, the door handles are shaved and utilizes an electonic solenoid which runs off both a remote, and button inside the car. The Tach is not accurate. It is a 911 tach. (I plan to sell that soon and get an aftermarket tach). I would love to mount a camera inside for an action shot ( not to mention the awesome rotary sound winding through the gears)....but I don't have a small mountable video camera. I may take a video of me spinnin' some broadies so you all can hear it wind out.

I'm doing a V8 conversion and getting nothing but support from this board. As Scotty says, anybody doing nasty stuff ought to be outed, at least to the moderator. No place for it here.

A friend of mine had an rotary powered 914 back in the early 90's. He lived in Woodside CA. I never saw the car run and I don't know what happened to it. I must say his car looked a lot like yours.
Keep up the good work.

I found this post on your build...
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...57&hl=build

I am interested in how you welded up the shaved doors? Did you document that?

Nice conversion!

How dare you modify your 914!! You are the only one who's ever used a non-Porsche engine in their 914. JK!

Very nice car. I would love to see this car in action.

What did you do with the exterior door handles? I didn't see a handle on the outside. Looks really cool.
