That should be fun..:cooldude:..make sure you look at the engine and trans mount points as this is where you will have issues due to the torque the V8 makes. Also check the fenders flares as they tend to crack at the bond joint if they are the fiberglass flares due to flexing of the body. If this car is a true Renegade Hybrids conversion it will have extra structure supports also to help preventing the twist and flex the conversion causes. Should be a fun car.

Yes your correct as I have an original 1970 914-6 that I ordered in Oct 1969 and took delivery on June 8, 1970 and still have it. It was the 63 one off the assembly line by the vin number and one of the 3,642 914-6's that where built by Porsche. The 914-4's where all built by Voltswagon and sold as the Karmen Gia in Europe and the 914 Porsche in the USA. As another has said the 1973 2.0 ltr 914-4 would be the one I would look for if I where to purchase another one and if you can find an original 1973 creamsicle 914 2.0 ltr (white with orange rockers) or its polar match an oreo cookie (black with white rocker panels) as these where very limited models and only came in the 2 ltr in 1973 and very early 1974 (till March 74). I have had over the years a large number of 914's and at one point in time had 9 of them at the same time. One of each different model configuration but that is a whole other conversation. Here is a photo of three of the best 914's I have owned, the white one was a 1972 1.8 ltr, the green was a 1973 2.0 ltr and the orange one is the car I have today which is a 914-6. Here is a photo of my 914-6 GT Clone that was built from a 914-6. A good place to purchase a 914 is at this link to autoalanta: http://www.autoatlanta.com/carsales/porsche-cars-for-sale.php?car=9146 A couple of good books for anyone looking for a 914. http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-914-And-914-6-The-Definitive-History-Of-The-Road-And-Competit-Parts-PN-R1845840305.html http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-914-4-914-6-Repair-Handbook-914-1970-76-Book-Parts-PN-RBK7071.html Things to look at when inspecting any 914 is the area directly under the battery tray as this is where most corrosion and structral falure will take place also along the back edge of the bottom of the firewall as this is also a corrosion location, behind the rocker panels as they get plugged with debree and you know what happens then. On all of the 914-4's the engine front mount points for cracks where the panels are spot welded to the body also the rear trans mounts for damage and cracks.

Croc I do not think Mazda did that as Boxologist School of Driving just teaches how to keep from flipping his Miata when departing the road into a field.:rofl: :driving: :jester:

That is a good one.....

KiwiBirkin, Glad to hear you and your family are OK. Be safe and take care of yourselves. By the way Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas, ¡Feliz Navidad, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanzaa and just have a good day for those non believers. Be safe and have fun and enjoy your friends and family and may you all have a good life and be in good health.

Another study shows that even if you do not spell the words correctly but uses all the correct letters in a word and have the first and last letter correct then a lot of people can still read it and will not notice that the words are misspelled and get the message. The mind is a very strange thing and very unpredictable.

Very cool Mazda. Plasma cutters are so cool especially when mounted to a CNC router / cutting table.

Good one Skip.......LOL

Mondo Mondo Mondo that is just to funny...."just get that lion out of there"....

That would be strange to see.....good advertisement for dxbconnect.com and the Airport of Dubai.

Just read your web pages about the rebuilding of your Lotus 7. Very nice and looking forward to following the process.

Thanks Croc for the photos of the mount and wing as that now gives me some ideas. Neat looking car by the way.

Where is the Knox Mt. Hillclimb run at. Neat Video.....do you have any photos of the front wing and mount. Martin Keller Sent from my phone.

Now that is funny and I have to agree as I lived about 20 miles south of Portland for over ten years and finally moved back to Southern California and if we where to move again it would have to be a places that has lots of sun and is warm most of the year. :driving:

I bet your face hurts from the smile on it.

Factory Five Cobras are as this shows. [ATTACH]3670[/ATTACH] They just want the tuner types and do not want to be shown up by a car that can out preform most of the tuner cars that show up is my belief from checking out their web site. :jester:

:flag: Just a thank you to the Survivors of Pearl Harbor and all of the Military personal that have served in our Armed Forces over the years as without your service to this country we would not have the freedoms that we have today and the world would be a very different place for all mankind. Thank You and be safe. :flag:

Ruadhd2, Turn the wheels over so the mating face to the hub is facing up. Place a straight edge across the bead (use a level) and measure from the face of the wheel to the bottom of the straight edge and that is the offset for the wheel. Hope this helps. Skip is correct I have told you how to find the back space. The offset is the distance the wheels center matting face is from the center line of the wheel and can be either negative or positive. Measure the distance from bead to bead to find the width of the wheel then measure the distance from the rear bead to the mating face and then thak half the width of the rim and subtract the distance from the wheel center and you should have the offset in either positive or negative. below is a picture that explanes it much better than I can. http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=11405&stc=1&d=1206194833 http://image.minitruckinweb.com/f/9904878/0611mt_01_z+offset_wheels+offset_chart.jpg http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn270/300cars/motivational%20posters/2u6ptuq.gif

Very well stated Mike (CROC). I agree even if I can not afford such a car Doublesnaggle's CSR is a good buy if you just take into mind that the exchange rate and build time factors and that it is already titled and here in the USA. Should make someone a good street / track car as that is what the CSR are ment to be but that is just my belief.

Now that is funny once you have read the other post.....:smilielol5:

That is a lot of time an energy but I guess all things of passion are that way.

That is cool.

That is one talented person and one fine work of art. I wounder how many hours it took to make the complete engine...just amazing.

BusaNostra...Those are some nice vent covers......I take it you made them from scratch....Nice job.
