I used to have a 914 (among other Porsches) and belonged to the "914World" community site....talk about cars that are long in the tooth! BUT it is a fresh site with good people that is well laid out and easy to use...and post on.Lots of help on the old questions and the new...always modding going on and a lot of respect amongst ALL the members.

I'm almost sorry to have sold my 914 'cause this community was sooooo good . However none of the 7 Porsches I have owned are as good as my MCS! So I guess I'll just have to be a little more active around here...

In 2005 a typical thread was about the Ideal Gas Law or How a reduction pulley makes power. In 2008 I am seeing more posts like "What color is your dog?"

you must read every thread.

I look for threads that have new interests with current performance related issues. Sometimes they are informative if you can read around the old BS and see what you are looking for. Or perhaps a new modification that no one has done yet or perfected.

Me thinks it is a bit more difficult and $$ to get more from the Turbo motor, not saying it isn't there.

That's what a lot of people thought about the R53 a couple years ago too

It's always easier (and bigger gains) to get more horsepower from a turbo motor.
