Thanks for chimin in. Those are some dead sexy racks! Would love to do up a notch. I'm leaning toward all metal on this one though. Something simple and clean. Maybe something that sits low like this:
I feel the need already 
My first car was a 67 bug with a built 1641 ...was fast for a 15yo (rolled it before 16). My brother had a 71 914 that I think I drove more than him. Later an XR4TI.
A friend of mine has this turbo'd 912

...and this STI powered/Lotus Suspended 914. I've lent a hand on both cars.

I think I'd prefer a quieter intake. I'll check them out. Thx!
Do it! For those who didn't read every single word of the thread (shame on you ) Mark delivered the D44 down to me from Olympia 4x4. It's come a long way since its days delivering mail |
Ha, looks like a small world. I thought that Yellow 914 looked familiar.
Here's my cousin's youtube feed, he mentions Britain Smith in it.
He went from stock (my civic smoked him at the track) to a type 4, to the STi.
I've had 3 Bugs 65,66, 73 super, and a couple dashers. Bought a used 90 CRX in 2000 and have had so much fun with that car until it was stolen that I replaced it with a 91 Si hatch, fully STX prepped (quaife & insane brakes).
Dad was a VW guy and was a moderator over on the Samba, I met Pedro and a few others when dad would come out and get together with the type 3 folks. Pedro built his first rack for himself, then started making them for other guys and turned it into his business.
I'm not sure what buckets Ron has in his 912R, but they're repo lowbacks that have a head rest, they hold you in place. I do like the Kirky ones but they might not have much padding for a daily driver. All the seats scat makes don't have enough lateral support. Sticky tires, and good suspension would have you in the passenger seat in no time.
