Ben, When you say "one tail pipe live" are you saying only one outlet, the other plugged??

^ Glad to hear that.

The best way forward with a 914 (IMHO) is to simply resolve not to sell. As much as I like 928s (and that's a lot), I've come to view the 914 as something from Porsche that just keeps getting more and more attractive with time. They do so many things well, check so many boxes, and are aging better than ever.

To many batteries to maintain, can't drive all the toys enough, project after project. I'm down to my 914 and Bug. It's mostly doable now the 914 is 95% done.

Love the shot of your 914, looks great!

I just spent several hours pouring over your build thread, absoutly outstanding work! ( on top of your side hussle) talk about being BUILT not bought, I can only dream of such a fine Teener; mabey one day. Next COTM for sure, congrats on a well built machine.

I don't want to drain into a dirty drain pan and then pour it back into the tank. Just will start fresh.

Most people will say you need them to look “finished”. I personally like the gt look. No caps, no rear valance, etc. but stuff like this, you can go back and forth as the mood suits you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

One of the rare times I disagree with Mark; I like them with the caps, finishes it off.

But... don't hate me, on a GT look car like yours, I love the RSR finish on the Fuchs.

Cheers,
Michael
