QUOTE(rick 918-S @ Aug 23 2015, 07:25 AM)  Marty, your car is badass! I think it was 2005 WCR? I had the pleasure of taking in some of the details. I agree with Rand. Outlaw is in your face, catch your eye and keeps your attention. There is no subtleness about it. When you look at it you know. I do remember WCR 2005, Howard (r.i.p.) and 914world put on a blast at the old Paramount Ranch Raceway complete with the In+Out Hamburger 18 wheeler (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) I didn't get a chance to meet you that day...I was checking out all of the cars as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Your opinions here on world are well respected by me, and I'm honored that you dig my ride . So now let's all get in the think tank and come up with a good catch phrase for our trick little panzers ! Marty |

QUOTE(thieuster @ Aug 23 2015, 09:49 AM) A nice decal / shield of some sort with something like 'E Gruppe' (just to quote a suggestion), or 'M Gruppe' as in 'Mittelmotor' or 'modded / modified / modifiziert'. That will give it some real look and feel. But please, please, NOT with the use of the old German fonts. I prefer early 70s fonts! Somewhere halfway down this page a few links with a lot of inspiration! Fonts Porsche posters Menno I also like M Gruppe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

We should be 1000% opposed to a special 'gruppe', special stickers, special name , special identity unless its very informal, because its exclusionary, and the opposite of what 914s are about.
What next, a separate website, special jacket, special tattooes, secret handshake known only to those that belong? |

The secret handshake could be pulling your pockets out showing that their empty.

I think the fad of walking around with one's pants pockets pulled out already passed several years ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I thought the term NARP kinda summed it up- coined by others but taken up seriously by modded 914 owners as well as our purist brethren. I like it because it says it all.

Maybe you can only call a 914 an "outlaw" if it has 356 fenders and bodywork? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Most 914 projects end up being a modernization on the platform, like Mike B's and many others: modern lights, modern engine swap (or modern EFI), nice sound system, improved interior....now what's that called? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) "Hot rod" sounds too american muscle car or t-bucket, any "gruppe" sounds like a clique of euro dudes, and "custom" is too boring....so... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I used to call my 914 a "cafe racer", like the moto term, because it was low, light, stripped down, loud, a weekend warrior, and fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Is Erik's 914 primer? More pics! It has that unique modern/ratrod/outlaw vibe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

I guess people can call them whatever they want. Bottom line: they're a blast to drive, especially through the twisties (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Mine is wrapped in Matte Chocolate Brown Metallic. Has some copper flake in it. Big 'ol bumper sticker. Its practical too, since all the lightweight panels would likely stress crack paint in about 5 minutes.. The vinyl keeps it all together.

If I'm not mistaken the start of the tread says "show us your rides" but all we're mostly getting is opinions on what "outlaw" means. Since defining outlaw will be subjective, how about some pics. Here's my 3.2 sleeper as we used to say when building hot rods. Is this and outlaw??? I'm sure some will say no and some say yes so how about showing your cars.

QUOTE(KELTY360 @ Aug 23 2015, 04:41 PM) In the 914 world, the purists are largely a minority who don't tend to speak out for fear of ridicule. So maybe, in our world, the correct, concurs cars are really the outlaws and their owners are the true noncomformists. I was kinda thinking along these lines as I read through this thread.... A VAST majority of the 914's out there have been modified in some way or another...either a different engine, 5 lug conversion, GT, wider wheels, -6 clone, Suby/V8, etc. etc. etc... Yes, there are still a bunch of bone stock 914's out there, but my guess is they are the minority... 356 owners see stock and preservation of stock as the 'right' thing to do, and modifying as blasphemous....hence "Outlaw" R-Gruppe is just a performance hot-rodded early 911...a group dreamed up by one guy and 'membership' into the group by some super secret handshake or something... 914 owners modify at will for personal satisfaction, with no regard to originality or to be part of a 'club'. We just do it because we want to and we can.... We have two highly modified 914's. Would I call them "Outlaw?" Absolutely not... But here''s a couple gratuitous pictures anyway.
