Thanks, it's funny they called it Phoenix Red, it's really more orange than red. It was not the color I was looking for, but once I saw it I was hooked.

Hey my name is Damien, I have a 1974 Porsche 914 Le. It was my dads car that he bought new and handed it down to me.
I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. I don't know anyone that has a 914 so I'm looking to make new friends and build my knowledge as it is very limited at the moment. I'm going to either be rebuilding the engine or putting a new engine in. I'm open to any and all suggestions. Reason for the engine rebuild or new engine is because cyl 3 has no compression and I'm going to have to drop the engine anyways. I look forward to this forum, thanks for having me!!! Damien ![]() |

Hey my name is Damien, I have a 1974 Porsche 914 Le. It was my dads car that he bought new and handed it down to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Nice looking Bumble Bee you got from your dad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. I don't know anyone that has a 914 so I'm looking to make new friends and build my knowledge as it is very limited at the moment.

Damien ![]() Before dropping the motor for a rebuild, try performing a valve adjustment (when the motor is dead cold) and check compression readings again. Depending on the mileage, you may get by with just having the heads rebuilt, and/or new piston rings (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Yeah, it seems that all the colors look good on the tiny cars.......un-explainable. If you have a "regular" car that is lime green or orange it looks terrible but with the 914s all the colors really do look good.
