 Anyone else call BS on claims on this 914?, 5.4liter 908 engine, centerlock wheels? WTF? |

I have heard of guys installing the infamous rubber lobed camshaft in a small displacement engine then as the rpms increase, the lobes grow in size from the centrifugal force thus increasing the duration and the lift making the engine perform like it's a 5.4 liter... I think that's his secret. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Well, I know you probably won't believe me, but these guys fly. Sorry, snapped the photo before they took off... But really, they do...

 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Howdo you fit a -12 into a 914 Chassis? The X-12,just a bit of work,like building a watch! You see,the whole design and build part is what makes it 'hard'. Like the Polo,it's no overnite sensation,and once you get it together,the clients will come. Who here is gettin in line for a Boxster -8. |
