I'm sorry to inform you, but we at the 914 world, have decided you are too smart for this BBS. You are being asked to leave.


Yes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) we're all sorry about this.


Please leave your 914 at the door on your way out.


I'll take the back half!

If you end up manufacturing that "Crawler" sign me up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Might be good for scooting under cars to work on them too!

BTW, if you like Enter the machine you might want to give Phutureprimitive a try too.

Since I am doing so much to update the the cars looks I couldn't just use the stock mirrors. There are a lot of choices out there but i finally settled on 2006 Pontiac Solstice mirrors, they are quite a bit smaller (and cheaper!) than the Porsche Aero mirrors and I think they fit the cars style pretty well.



I couldn't remember where I saw a cool set of rear-view mirrors...and remembered this thread!

Just ordered a set for my new build. Holy crap are they cheap! $85 a set on eBay. Made sure I got the "Manual" set so I didn't have a bunch of motor-stuff to tear out.

Just thought it was worth mentioning that this thread helped me.

I'll find out and let you know in about a week. ;-)

I WILL be buying another set of Miata sun-visors though. That was a good upgrade on my last 914.

Here is a shot of how they fit, not an easy bolt on but not hard either, you need to re-contour the base of them to match the curvature of the door and drill 3 pretty huge holes. You can see the stock bolt holes in the door for reference.
Glad I could help Tripps!

I dug into this a few days ago and fear that I REALLY messed up the angle on the passenger window. I was clearly using the wrong tools. I think this would be easier with a belt-sander where I could use the rounded end to keep it more consistent.

I put the brakes on it for a few days until I can get the right tools. I love the look of them, and think they'd be a great replacement. I've got time before I need to have them mocked up.

I'm also going to add arrow LEDs behind the glass, so (luckily) I got the glass off in one piece.

BRZ/FR-S/ft86 mirrors also look like they would be a nice fit:

Here's the plan:

Tub up restoration/customization (no cutting corners here).
Speedster styling.
40" tall
Under 1800 pounds.
320 horsepower WRX engine.

Let the games begin!


Man, I really miss this thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Hey Dana, if you're still subscribed, check in and say hi. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

IIRC, I read on one of the Suby forums that it was in another garage or hands presently. I'll see if I can locate that thread to confirm.
