Can I hit you, too? I don't have a problem with you... I'm just pissed off.

I just broke my second drillbit of the day... back to Lowes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

P.S. My broken drill bits are SO not 914 related. :hijack:

Funny. As long as you have not broken the drill bit trying to drill out a broken 914 exhaust stud, life will be ok Rusty!!!!!

Actually, I am glad you are here Doc...

Back when I first met Betty, I started working on her 914 with her. Coming from a hotrod background (69 Firebird), I really didn't have much of an idea on what I was doing with a 914. Your catalog was a godsend. I used it to figure out how things were supposed to fit together, and to learn about the car.


That was back in 1985-1986. Betty bought a set of sway bars from you, and I installed them. They are still on the car to this day (along with my crappy welding job). I still remember your address at the time... 504 Clay Street. (I wonder why? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) )

In the last 20 years of fooling with these cars, I have learned a whole lot. But I still have that old catalog around for a reference. The pictures on a computer are good, but a computer is not very easy to carry around in the trunk in case of emergencies. And your catalog never has a dead battery.

I have some bad experiences with your parts guys since, but my overall experience with AA was positive.


FYI.. I have an 2.4L MFI powered 914 /6 conversion, and I just traded the 76 930 engine I had for all the parts to build up a new 2.4L S motor for my car. SO... I have experience with MFI, and I would love to trade a tune up on your 916 for the chance to test drive it.


Welcome Doc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)


We could probably make an event our of the 916 resurrection, getting the car driveable, cleaning it to concours perfection and then having the chosen test drive it on a closed course! Glad to see that the passion has inspired you all of these years. Thanks for keeping the faith.



Why don't you get the 916 running, and bring it to one of the many 914 Events. There are a LOT of people who would love to see this car in person, and it would give you time to visit in person with the people who love these cars.


MUSR will be in Austin, TX this year. Get it running and bring it down. I will even make you a deal..if you show up for the MUSR with the 916, I will comp your entry fee.

We would really like everyone to see this car, yes, and thankfully it is not hidden away in some collectors building somewhere! It is in a recognized place for all to see, and the dedicated volunteer help there will be now something on the club site when we get it out and running once again! Taking it anywhere is really taking a chance of its destruction by some waylaid driver, so we don't want to take a chance (to hell with insurance coverage, this one cannot be replaced) and we are again not collectors who take their priceless cars out of hiding to show them occasionally.

If purchasing an unmodified original car, definitely a 914-4 And either a 73 or a 74 as long as the 74 was loaded with all of the equipment that a 73 2.0 came with standardly.
Anyone who is a first time or last time 914 buyer would want a 914-4

I would certainly consider that if you could write one of your very fine installation procedures like the one you posted, for all to share when they install their set.

I finally got around to ordering the Tech Tips book last week. Hopefully it arrives soon, as I'm always eager to try to digest new (to me) 914 wisdom.

So in light of the apparent success of the steel flares group buy, perhaps a group buy to celebrate the new Euro tail light lenses would be in order? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

We will see when they arrive if I really like them that much. If they look as good as the samples they will be great!

New 914 Part!

the latest piece to come from our stampings is the 914 floor pan cross member. They are exact and pretty perfect and come in a left and right. As all of you probably know the factory has discontinued this part and the last retail price was over $420.00. Ours are 110 per side and the original part number is 914 501 109 10

Better to get the word out than make anyone suffer from lack of availability. Not like burgers, available on any corner! Wish we could afford to make a lot more parts! (did I ever tell you about the 2000 air guide plates I had made and still have 1500 up stairs waiting for that lonely 914 to come along?)
