Chrome Yellow bright pearl.Now with accent stripe in Lime.
WB stretch,18" ATS + Michelin RR sticky.A nice flat TurboSix to motivate.
Rusty 914 + Honda crx roof,hammered into a shape that looks '90s.
The Honda roof a tribute to the iconic 911 curve at a fraction of the cost.



Another look for the CRX roofline transmogrification.
Honda did a nice rendition of the tapered b-glass.
Fits on a Fiero too,transforming the early windscreen slope to a more
modern look,911-ish.
I recall Chuck Beck(edit:Randy) did a 914 > GT1 custom roof that I
liked.Without all the accoutrements of wings n poorly shaped flares,running boards
and air dams it looks ok.Quite reserved but sporty enough to turn heads even with standard power.Really brings the 914 shape into the '90s.

You are bouncing around a lot.
What was that v8 aircooled motor?
What years, what countries was it produced?

[Dave_Darling]

The Tatra aircooled V8 was built starting in the mid-30s. It was in several models, and went up into late 90s. There may have been diesel truck motors that went later than that.

Early: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatra_77
Late: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatra_700

It would be complicated to import the Tatra V8,whether the early SOHC, pushrod or the later quadcam.
There is some unrealized potential in these sturdy alloy engines,400hp has been bandied about as the number.
The block casting of the 613/700 has that unique integral differential housing,placing the crank 1-1.5 in above the axle.
A very nice design in every way,unappreciated in markets in which it never appeared.
The engine sitting atop the axle in a 914 would,I'm sure,ruin any handling features of the car.
Placing it mid however,you would have a light powerful aircooled V8 with the added bonus of an all Teutonic 914.
The small displacement and stroke makes possible the use of a flat crank and cams plus the heads can be turned for a hot vee exhaust layout.
After all,an aircooled V8 design would enhance the awesome factor of any 914 build.
The difficult part is having a few shipped to your garage at a reasonable cost or any price,just to begin work.
The sound of a 308 GT4 emanating from a 914 would be worth it all,the work being large in dimension.
Be the first on the pit row with a twin turbo version to catch the latemodel of your choice.

Zingback to the start of the Tatra dialog.

10in(254mm)wider overall.
4in(100mm) longer wb.
3.1in(80mm) longer behind axle.
2in(50mm)raised w-wells.
17-18in Fuchs replicas in billet.
Wide low profile rubber.
Rocker deepened.
Integral rollbar and chassis structure.



Exposed heat exchanger,corrugated outside panel.

[veekry9]

A 911 roofline melded to fit,looks very much factory.
Haven't found any reference to a design studio proposal similar to this.
Remarkable how the Cayman has retained such lines.
The 914's curves look nice ,even now.

[ClayPerrine]

I have absolutely 0 skills at photoshop, but maybe somebody would like to photoshop a 1973 Boxster for us? Take a 73 914, and graft the front end of a 73 911 targa onto it.

I want to build one in real life, and put a Boxster emblem on the back.

[veekry9]

More like an impressionist painting in oil than anything else.
Incredible that it's stock below the beltline.
Looks very modern,telling how far ahead the design of the 914 was in '67.

[veekry9]

Now,stuffing an engine of great power into a 914 chassis mandates some
reinforcement,namely a cage structure of Nascar proportion.
A set of tires to handle the high speeds and the wheels to hold them.
Not a single original panel.
Longer,wider wheelbase,3"stretch behind the rear axle.
Door lengthened,carries cage bars.
Waisted rocker in alloy/ss.
Nose rubber 2" longer,lower,so's the bumper,and wider.
Cow catcher air dam for the racecar look,has a rubber lower lip.
Siglamps are moved with the outer fender skin and sloped back to match the nose rubber,so they're longer.
Pop-ups are moved out with the fender,still work.
A 2-Tone anodized/painted wheel center for a modicum of polish.
A 914 Carrera GT?Still a 914,wings optional.

[veekry9]

Stahlmetall
Sahara Sand,a dab of paint.
Looks faster now.

What's not to like?
A wash ,some cosmetic rust repair and a respray in a color of favour.
Add a wing to grace the rear deck and balance the look of a racer.
He's added some airscoops above the rear fender as a bonus.

A 914 modified to a level similar to the GT1's,twenty years later,might satisfy the need for speed.
We now have the cnc technology that was quite expensive at the time,available at reasonable cost.

Quote:
Someone close to the car, "isderaimperator", came by to explain why the car smoked, and how it has the larger, later 6.0 liter Merc motor.
The car in the video it the number 14 of 17 (series I. From Series II there where made 13 pieces).
The car was built in 1988 and has a old AMG 6.0-32v engine (modified 5.0l Mercedes V8) instead of the 560 V8 which came as the standard engine.
The smoke in the vid: Nothing dangerous, just a restoration mistake from 2006.
On the side of the copilot, there is an air intake in the wheelhouse, above the front tyre, for the air-condition.
…and a little bit to much material.
Due to the weight of the copilot and the massive compression in that downhill left corner "fuchsröhre" with around 120mph, the left front tyre had contact with the air intake, and smoke (plastic, tyre) came into the air condition system for a second.
On the road it never happened.
After that trackday the air intake was restored properly by Isdera with the right dimensions.
The track was cold and partly wet. The driver is not an Isdera test driver, but the owner, with racing experience (2012 Champion of the German Hankook Cup- and touring car championship).

This car was tested with the Isdera i108,Porsche 959,Countach and Ferrari's GTO on the Volkswagen test track by R+T,cover story again.
Can't recall the other cars in the test(edit:AMG supercoupe).Paul Frere was one of the testers.
The Ruf was front and center.
I recall a story about a fellow who imported one here in Montreal or Toronto.
He could as a 25yr rule applied.No doubt very pleased.

Anyone here know the driver in the video?
I am assuming it's Ruf's test driver who set their record.

Somewhere on the continent,a Lime Green 914,with a nice dual lite install.
Looks like a grp bumper with paint,striped detail and a dam.

Factory hood,pop-ups,inner fenders,inner doorskin,trunklid.
Rear outer fender moved 100mm rearward.
Rear edge of doorskin followed.
It's blue,nicely buffed to reflect the horizon,parked cars and curb.
Factory late bumper,sectioned,widened,
Siglamps raked,lengthened.
Little baby bumper 914 grew up.
There's plenty of room for cooling and installation of great power.
Factory w-well height and lip.
Rusted relic from '75 seeks resurrection and more cylinders.
Some have pulled the rear w-w to fit wider tires and changed the curvature of the fender slightly.
The result looks nice with a gentle swelling of the longitudinal spline curve.
Extending that curve vertically allows the hump above the fender to rise in a smooth way.
A huge workload,like what I have seen here before.

[veekry9]

Face of bumper is factory position.
6-7" longer overall.
Same wb stretch of 100mm.
WW arches wider,taller.
More meat,larger wheels.
Plenty of modern materials.
Rear firewall is factory other than sandwich construction.
Longs are much more substantial.
Door carries intrusion bars,lock to tubeframe chassis.
The house defines the look of the 914,with the targa curve.
