You might try contacting Eric Shea at PMB for his thoughts. He seems to be the caliper guru and does amazing work.

IPad instruments

I wouldn't be surprised if someone doesn't eventually come up with some sort of conversion box that would do this sort of stuff.

Even though the sensors are old, they still basically measure...

Glad you got the car back at least! I know it was special due to it's history. They probably just wanted to get the stuff that was easy to move, and the car was a pain.

Wedding ride

My wife and I drove away from from our wedding 33years ago in my Porsche 914-6. After all these years, still have the same wife and car! It must be a good omen.

Targa Design

I'm sure safety concerns were on the designer's minds when designing the Targa. The roll-over bar is too nice an idea to not consider, and a similar design was used on the 914 models.

Shifter bushing

I was told it's a good idea to warm the bushing in some hot water to make it softer, then it pops right into the bracket. You might want to remove it (put the entire bracket in hot water), then try...

air boxes

My 914-6 does have the small grommets for the cold start system, though they were never offered on the Weber carbureted 914-6 2.0. I understand that the top of the 914-6 air box was also not as tall...

I have the Michelin Pilot Exalto, and they seem fine. I don't race the car anymore, so it's just about a nice street ride at this point.

Aren't there restrictions on having a left hand drive car in Australia? I had heard that they need to be converted to right hand drive. Sounds $$$$$$$$.

Race Engine

I seem to remember that Dave Finch in Ohio was a big shot in the 914 racing world back in the day. Also, early Super-Vs were racing with type 4 engines, so some of that engine building talent may...

When I had my 75 targa, we had no problem fitting a standard DIN radio into the dash slot, so your choices are not limited by any means.

914-6 rear brakes

I actually have the 911 Carrera front brakes with the stock 914 rear calipers, and the combination seems to work just fine. It's a light car and the fronts do most of the braking. Unless you're...
