My 71 came badged and I'm glad it did. People always wonder what kind of car it is. They see the badging and see that it is a Porsche 914. Saves me from having to go into the nuanced history of the 914. You know that the minute they get home they will Wiki it.

The badging gets me quicker back to my driving. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Mine has factory emblem posts and speed nuts up front. The emblem went walk about. Probably ended up hot glued to a Yugo in El Monte.

You don't see this badge placement very often but I love it! So subtle ...I've been told that the crest is special as well.
All the best,

Why is the 914 cluster running up hill?


I do not understand your question? Do tell?
Thanks,

The correct answer is way too obvious. Own two 914s. One car has a badge. The other doesn't (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

What is a carburetor? Is that like a light bulb or vacuum tube? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)


It's a perfume atomizer.......

Non-sequitur, but... I've always felt this was the wrong comparison. Isn't a perfume atomizer way more akin to a fuel injector? Since it takes a positive force to push out the fuel? (As opposed to a carb, where vacuum pressure pulls out the fuel.)



Nope, not the wrong comparison. The perfume atomizer was the inspiration for the first carburetor.

It is not positive pressure, but negative pressure. A perfume atomizer passes air through a venturi drawing the perfume up from the bowl and mixing it into the passing air. (Sound familiar???).


In 1885, Wilhelm Maybach and Gottlieb Daimler developed a float carburetor based on the atomizer nozzle (Wikipedia Reference)

Probably has a lot to do with experiences as well. Had something with a hood badge, coulda been a 911 or 944 or something. Thieves mangled the paint and hood to get the badge off. This was some 25+ years ago, made me wish no P-car I owned had a badge.

My current 914 doesn't have one, won't be putting one on.

That said, they do look nice on a 914.

My '75 had a badge on it when I got it. Once I started the restoration, I filled in the holes and removed it.
It also had A/C in it and I removed that as well. (you'd be amazed and how much structural integrity was gained when I welded in the replacement piece from RD)
I'm not nuts on the subject but, I did want my car to be factory correct, if not dealership correct.
My '74 does not have one.

One thing I have noticed is that they are all Volkswagens until you go to buy parts. Then they become a Porsche!

And that's the real problem. As was said earlier, the front of a 914 is a big blank canvas and the Porsche crest is probably the most beautiful hood badge there is. I don't have a badge on my car, but it would look SOooo good with one on there.

So what's the correct placement from the tip of the hood?

4, 6, 8 inches?

I think we all know that answer. You’ll put it 6” and then tell her it’s 8” (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I think I get it now. To be a member of the club that honors the tradition of not being welcomed to the other club, and was created by the botched marketing of a brilliantly engineered car - I can swap any engine I like into the chassis EXCEPT electric motors, and it is cool to install any period correct option or accessory available from the dealer EXCEPT the hood badge. Do I have that right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)


No.

The only acceptable engine is aircooled. Others are tolerated, but, we all know the only proper motor is air cooled. Glad to be able clear that up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)


Exactly, except that adding carburetors is also off limits. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)


Dangit! I'm out of the "out of the club" club. Guess it's off to the NARNARP club for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)


You sound confused about your orientation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Well, if anyone has a hood badge that they feel they no longer want, I'll take it off your hands... I had the frunk hood replaced about 30 yrs ago due to a minor front end hit that buckled it. The one that was installed has 2 holes about where the badge would go and I never got around to doing anything with it. So I'm the guy in the middle-no badge, but 2 unsightly holes. This thread has motivated me to change that situation...

Now first choice would have been the one in the blue (although she is probably my age now), but she probably wouldn't be happy sitting in an unheated garage all winter, and I'm pretty sure the wife wouldn't be either...
