Charles, I believe I met you or a couple of your guys from LN, last year, there was a little 914 gathering on a Sunday in Long Beach, at a little donut shop, and the guys brought some samples of your stuff, the cylinders, they looked great, I'd love to have a set of them, but you seem to have missed the point, which part of the Low Budget Horses didn't you under stand? Lets see $200.00 for a set of cast Iron cylinders or $2000.00 for a set of Nickies, well I will have to go with the $200.00 set and take the other $1800 and put it toward my V-8 Kit.
Look, Charles, nothing lasts forever (except taxes) if I wanted a 914 motor to last, I'd leave it mostly stock and drive it a couple of years, thats not me, or alot of other 914ers, I read a posting, by sean_v8_914, he just thru together a 103 x 71 (2366) and some one told him it would last 15 to 20 k miles, if he kept his foot out of it , and only 5 k if he didn't, sean response was his foot was staying in it till it poped, now thats my kind of 914er.
There are people out there that can aford the best parts, the rest of us, wheel and deal, haggel, have good friends, be in the right place at the righ time, and use what ever we can for as cheap as we can, I call it Creative Engineering, (hay I should use this as handle)
Hey Charles, if you want sell me a set of those Nickies for $200.00, I wouldn't say no.
