JP: That is a beaut. You can even read "weber".

Seanery: This prolly won't help much, but I assume you know that is one of the 2 8 cylinder 914's produced at the factory. I'm pretty sure the guys taking the photo are Reef/Mastenbroek (who did "caught by camera") The wheel arches got "subtle flares" according to the commentary in the book. For your obref: the car was towed to the photo location by the red car in the background.

Great car -- a local SoCal guy did his 914 in a Caddy pearl white. High-end paint job (for a 914, i.e. bare metal, several $K). Looks sweet. My Audi is pearl white also, but I think the newer version has a bit more "beige" in it.

OK, I might as well show off my webers too, since this has turned into a carb candy thread. Mine are not as finger-lickin' clean as JP's, but not too bad.

On the four-banger (in car now) --

You guy's are killing me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) , nice cars!!

I've got rear SC's on my '73, and hope to put a mild flare on my fronts with the help of John Kelley's tips and tricks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) , similar to the 914-8 pic a couple of posts up.

Kind of curious about why a 914 with SC's would have more of a tire clearance problem than a 911 SC? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Oh yeah Brad...mine's been "levitating" in the garage for 5 years now, but at least it's an assembly process at this point. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Beach boys racing next to Ottos has been installing SC flairs for years.
Performance products used to sell them but It was usually cheaper to get cut off ones from the wrecking yard.

Depending on the color I didn't think the rounded SC flair matched the boxy body.
The BBR car was black and had matching rockers.
I thought it looked pretty good in black.

I can tell you it looks pretty nice in Pearl White Metallic LOA9. It's the Audi pearl white, interestingly also avaiable on the 930 as a factory option.

What kinda rubber you guys running out back?
