QUOTE(Root_Werks @ Oct 27 2021, 07:51 AM)  No badge for me and also remove the rear grill lettering. Not many people around know what a 914 is anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) When i was 16 I was all about the badging, but being in SoCal with all the pinky lifting 911 owners I heard all the trash talk on 914's to the point where it got really old... Thankfully my ego wasn't tied to that and I actually started embracing the NARP thing even more, because I realized how much they underestimated the 914. Fast forward to my current 914, flared, twinplug 3.8, no hood badge, no grill letters, somewhat of an enigma to the uninitiated and that's how I like it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I don't think you'll get anyone bashing for badges per say, unelss it's something garishly overdone like on the sail panels, that being said, to each their own--if it's faux pas to assume someone's gender then I'm not going to assume your 914's manufacture origin either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

Who needs a badge? Dirty Harry never used his. Keep it simply stock.

QUOTE(Van B @ Nov 1 2021, 12:55 PM) Haha, the Stories are way better when the runt becomes the champion. TTOD guys at the PCA Auto-X's were always 914's and the kicker was, the guy to beat was a big 4 and not even a 6 so they could feel good about themselves. |

Exactly, except that adding carburetors is also off limits. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
[/quote] Yeah, I'm one of those dual carb guys and I don't lose sleep at night when my car hiccups, dreading a trouble-shooting nightmare of a fifty-year-old fuel injection system. Carbs are simple, easy to maintain, no electronics, and few moving parts. Oh, and +1 for hood crests as long as they are placed esthetically (or is it aesthetically). Ansbacher |

After thinking about this topic for a week now . . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/crest.gif) . . . I honestly have no opinion either way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yawn.gif)
Badge or No Badge. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I really don't care. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) Whatever gets you thru the night. However, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have always considered the engine grill letters to be one of my favorite design details on a 914.  *(Full disclosure: Elvira came with hood piercings and Badge jewelry.) **(I added the nipple rings.) |
