Thanks Marco and Bobby,
I will have your recommendations set up and let you know. I too like the steering a little bit heavy so that would be great. Since I already have the 911S in for a cosmetic refreshining, the 914 probably won't go in to European Autowerkes for another month - which is fine since driving season around here is a ways off. Thanks again.
Can we get back to posting pictures of your 914's. Here is mine,Thx.

Yes, Alaska Blue Metallic. $275 option back in the day, this picture may show color better. Interior is beige with corduroy inserts in the seats. Originally delivered at Brumos in Jacsonville, FL.

Both beautiful blues and very nice cars.
Sounds like you should have done this months ago , the alignment that was done by them in the first place and you are not happy with the handling of a mid engine car.Quote:

A second double check of specs is pretty cheap and easy by any one of the before mentioned shops.
Pretty much wasted a bunch of post to do again what you did in the first place...
Thinking about purchasing. Anyone know if this is original?
The wheels don't look right to me...
Special Wishes Program Frank... 75 was the first year they offered it for 914's. VERY rare and valuable. Grab it before Raj does. If it were green Hines would have it in his stable already.
Last weekend at Sears Point Raceway. 24 Hours of LeMons.
New paint scheme and new, water cooled 2.0 Jetta engine mated to the original 914 transaxle.
Blew the engine on Saturday, found a replacement one in a 96 Jetta at the Richmond (Ca) Pick and Pull on Sunday morning.
Pulled that sucker out of the Jetta and had it in our 908/14 by 2:00PM on Sunday.
Bettered our fast lap time by 9 seconds on Monday.
Got a Trophy for the "Most Heroic Fix"
Regards
Jim
