"Huge" 1.7 motor

I was checking out evilbay instead of working when I read the seller's description of the motor.......

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2425249022&category=6430

I laughed coffee out my nose. Good thing I wasn't eating lunch, it would've been a cheese sandwich.

Ewwww.

I am _not_ a fan of the body kits. The best looking mod I've seen was Mark's (Confused) slant nose with the fenders just cut down to match the hood line.

I've always thought that those slant-nose kits on a 914 look too much like a Mazda RX-7---yuck!!!

I personally think body kits take away from what the car was originally meant to be.

I am not a big fan of them.

However I do love the Bradley GT

The engine must be "huge". So huge that the guy had to move the battery out of the way.

wouldn't it be nice to tell the prospective buyer he would have a car with no heat?

I like what Doc "P" did to it, GT flairs & 916 front end (coming soon)
this car must be fast with that HUGE 1.7 and teh slant nose, perhaps faster than a yellow car with a puny 2.0
