  • Our video today features a detailed and humorous recounting of Wayne's adventures with his Porsche 914, highlighting his deep attachment to the car and the lengths he went to recover it after it was stolen. Initially, Wayne buys what he believes to be a Porsche 914 with a 2-liter engine, only to discover later, with the help of a friend, that it's actually equipped with a less desirable 1.8-liter engine. This revelation leads him to swap in a higher horsepower engine, making the car more powerful and exciting to drive.
    The story takes a dramatic turn when the Porsche is stolen. Wayne, refusing to give up on his beloved car, embarks on a detective-like quest to find it. His journey is filled with intriguing characters, including a private investigator, a scary-looking but ultimately helpful informant, and the elusive thief named Jimmy. Wayne's efforts include surveillance, confronting suspects, and even hiring the informant to gather information on Jimmy and the car's whereabouts.
    After many twists and turns, including low-speed chases, stakeouts, and dealing with the police and criminals, the car is eventually found a year later in a stolen trailer attached to a stolen truck. The car had been sold for a fraction of its value, highlighting the thief's lack of knowledge about the car's worth. Wayne has to buy back his own car from an auction after the insurance company had paid him for the loss.
    Our tale concludes with Wayne and his friend Sandy taking the Porsche for a drive, appreciating its performance and the journey they've gone through with it. Despite the challenges and the time invested, Wayne's attachment to his Porsche 914 remains strong, underscoring his passion for cars and his resilience in the face of adversity.

    Entertaining story. I want to thank Wayne for having a great website that I've used many many times to diagnose issues on my prized E320. Without guys like him I wouldn't be able to afford to drive expensive cars because all my money would go to the stealerships. Thanks for making the impossible possible.

      I've got one of each, one with and one without. The flares allow for the addition of the Turbo wheels, which give a lot more traction on the track. These are the GT flares that the factory ran at Le Mans in 1970 with the GT cars... -Wayne
