View all sloman42's Porsche 914-4/6
I bought the car brand new in 1971 as a four. She now has a 1987 Carrera engine (~220 hp), twin turbo brakes, Boxster S 6-speed transmission, full roll cage, 9” and 10” x 18” Fikse wheels, carbon fiber hoods and bumpers. Pillow-ball and plastic suspension mounts, HD sway bars, torsion bars and springs, Koni double adjustable competition shocks, reinforced rear control arm, turbo tie-rods, 914-6 stub axles, pretty much everything there is to improve the car, keep it light and handle even better.
Brandy new in 1971:
At Watkins Glen in 2000 with PCA:
Nice Motronic 3.2 liter Carrera engine:
The ultimate 914 upgrade: Boxster S transmission:
Do you think the brakes are big enough for a 2200 pound car (those are 18” wheels)?:
When on the track, a little downforce doesn’t hurt (adjustable):
Finally, how to cut down on expensive racing costs (cars, drivers, equipment, personnel, etc.) - Photoshop! The only car at LeMans with NJ license plates and a bra:
Accelerates nicely, handles great and, finally, shifts great too. Great track car.
The bridge that Porsche should have done between the 914 and the Boxster.

huh?If you're reading this, you've probably seen these odd links with funny names somewhere on the site and want to know what they're all about. Well, prepare to feel a bit more Net savvy. Those links are what the geeks call "social networks."
Social networking sites allow you to store and share links and pages across the Internet. It's like taking your bookmarks list and being able to see it from any computer.
Even better, social networks allow you to steer friends, relatives, colleagues and pretty much anyone else to the cool stuff you've found, so they have something better to do online than watching the skateboarding squirrel video on YouTube for the thirtieth time. You're making the world a better place.
The only catch is that while all the social networks are free, you do have to register. Each site has a slightly different focus, so take a look through the links and see which service suits you best.
