I bought that 1974 914 2.0 brand new, and ordered it to my specs. By 1979 the factory springs in the rear were shot. The Bilstien shocks were stiff, and if I hit a dip in the road, it would compress the springs, and the shocks would not let the suspension expand fast enough. I replace the shocks a few days after this picture, and the rear tires stayed on the ground. I guess after a few hundred autocrosses I used up the springs strength.
That is one of the coolest 914 pictures ever.
