Cool 4-banger sound files?

OK, so maybe I have a little cabin fever, and am tired of listening to bad 80's metal on the RealPlayer - but does anyone have T4 sounds or video clips? I saw a clip once of someone's Beetle doing passes, and one with a rotary (I think) conversion doing huge frickin' donuts - so I figger there HAS to be some good 914 4-cyl stuff out there.
My motor has been sold, (and on a pallet awaiting shipment to a lucky gent in San Diego), and I'm tired of going into the cold garage, standing in the empty engine compartment making sputtering sounds, wishing it was Spring.
I need a T-4 fix or I'm gonna go goofy.

I have a couple of small mpeg files I can email of the race car when it had the big 4 in it at the Las Vegas road circuit a couple of years ago. They are about 500k each and were taken with a digital camera, not video. Email me your address and I'll send them.

Hey John, way cool! I got 'em last night, awesome. The quality is quite good, and the sound is perfect also. I'll be looking down the hallway, out a window at a blizzard while listening. What was the bore and stroke, and what type of exhaust?
I like the triad sound clip too, I was thinking of buying.
Off to Otto's............


Thanks Doods

2.4l four with a set of George's headers. The fours always sound a little deeper than a hi reving six.

I have some good audio and video from my last vintage race at the Palm Beach Sportscar Classic at Moroso.

Motor is tired 1.7 with triad headers and muffler.

Click on car in the hangar at:

Cool car, quick little sucker for having a tired 1.7...the chassis must be great. I keep hearing the 914 is a great momentum race car, looks like it from those clips, looses little speed in the corners. I have a Triad myself and I think it sounds like my motor grew by 50%...more bark than bite, haha.

I don't know, maybe check to see if your speakers are on. Maybe the volume setting in the computer is too low or set to mute.
