1975 Porsche 914 review from North America

My horn went out shortly after I got it.

I found rust damage on the passenger side jacking post, but no major rust.

It has developed a slight oil leak out of the speedometer cable.

I had to purchase new outer rocker panels because the previous ones became over rusted.

A piece of the heater blower is missing from the passenger side so I only get heat from the left side.

This car is very fast and fun to drive around town and around curves with the targa top off.

However if you don't like working on Porsche's and love working with your 914 then this car is probably not for you.

I love every second working on my 914.

Sometimes they can be costly, but its all worth it when you get to drive your 914.

This car is like driving a souped up go-cart because it is so low to the ground and it handles like a dream around the corners.

What I would say to do with your 914 is first of all fix any major rust damage. Next get the engine running just about to stock you don't need to do anything extreme. People always ask how to get their 914s faster, but all you need to do is learn how to drive it. Take it to a auto-cross track and do some time trials, all 914s are plenty fast enough just learn to drive it.

If you are going to make any necessary upgrades I would make a suggestion to upgrade brakes and convert wheels to five lugs. just make improvement to the overall handling of the car.
