i think somthing you guys fail to mention is that theres not much value in these cars. lowering the resail value from $5000 to $4750 isnt a big deal.

another plus to carbs is that they can be worked on by ANYONE with basic knowledge in n/a engines.

my dad is putting carbs on his 914 because his fi is messed up, he doesnt know how to work on fi and doesnt wanna know. he has only used carbs for the 35 years he was a mechanic and fi is a foreign scary land for him.

not to mention you can buy a carb rebuild kit anywhere, but to trak down 914 fi parts while your stranded in hikville no internet town? forget it!

fi has its advantages and disavdantages just like carbs do. for most people fi is probably better. for me it isnt. for my dad it isnt.


if carbs or fi is for you depends on you and how you drive.
no one can say "carbs suck" or "fi is crap" beause it all depends on the situation.
