          Rich man's Beetle. I do think the 914 was the lowest car I have been in as far as seating position goes

            914's are neat. 70-71 models are a pain to get parts for.

              The ecu for a fuel injected 914 looks like an ammo box or some kind of military communications box

                LS swap, coilovers, and some flared fenders and that things could be an auto-x monster.

                  For some reason I always liked the looks of these. Then again I also liked the old Karmann Ghias. There was a guy autoxing a 914 at Miller Park years ago. Slow but it looked like fun.

                    The PCA 914 guys looked like they were having a blast at RA. I've always liked them but I'm sure its like a first gen boxster, super disappointing to drive.

                        I honestly don't even know much about them. I saved a couple searches on ebay about 10 years ago, and never deleted them. (relatively)Recently it started popping up results from those searches when I go to the homepage. I threw in a $2000 bid when it was at $500 because why not. Makes my Tuesday evening a little more interesting. Of course now it's at $11,000 and I've lost all interest. Such is the life of a hipster wannabe.

                          This seems like a good place to say hello again after joining once, saying hello, and then disappearing.

                              Yep, she's still around. I'm putting miles on more quickly than I would like though.

                                  Hoping to pick this up at an auction on Saturday for cheap.  It's an "M converted" 93 325i coupe that looks like at one time it was a pretty nice car.  It has M door sills, bump trim on the doors, bumpers, steering wheel, etc.  It has a bottom mount turbo of unknown quality/size, tubular style exhaust manifold rather than cast which seemed interesting. and quite a lot of janky fender stretching in back.  Complete with all the essential stickers on the back window such as "illest", "lowislife", "euro trash", "Stanceworks" etc.  

                                  I am not sure if the engine is original or not, the car is a '93 but the engine has vanos.  I don't know what month they started with that.  I think the injectors had green tops.  It still had a MAF, and some weird relief valve on the intake piping.  It looks to me like the hardware got installed and never quite go to the tuning stage.

                                  How much would you pay?

                                    Assuming its a running turbo m50 car with a manual and proper tuning platform (TRM chip/aftermarket ECU)  Id feel really good getting it for anything less than $4000

                                        If it's an auction I'm assuming you didn't get to test drive or mess with the buttons inside, only pay what you know you can make back on parts if it turns out having issues.

                                          Yea, not paying near that much, it's held together with zip ties and it supposedly runs but it might be junk. The fenders appear to have been rolled with a channel lock pliers to avoid rub after sawzalling the springs... I think max I would pay is 700.
