Hi Mike, great to have you on board! Reading through the post the items that need attending to sound like typical issues from a car that has been standing around - no show stoppers there. The expensive bits (body/engine) sound great!. the 'dip switch' - do you mean the headlight switch on the dash o...

yep, thats the trouble with Cyrus gear, very easy to get the affliction Hi-fi upgraditus expensivus -

I've got fairly old Cyrus 3i + PSX-R/ Power & PSX-R amp combo and adding the PSX-R(s) were a superb improvement.

Keith,

Hi!

I have just had a look at 914 Register Database and it's not registered as a current PCGB owner. It looks very tidy in the photo so assuming it is still in good condition I am sure it must be out there somewhere though it's not a car I can recall coming across before.

Rob

Phil & Ian,

many thanks for the quick response.

if you could send me photos that would be great!

many thanks
Rob

I'm off to the garage with my hacksaw.....

Hi, I don't know if this is of any use, but I have heard of this issue where diameter of the venturis is very close to the overall carb diameter. At low flow rates (i.e idle), there is relatively little flow and thus with very shallow venturis there isn't enough vacuum created to draw fuel out of th...

Hi Liam,

I've got some - drop me a pm with your e-mail and I will take photos and send over so you can see condition -

Liam's thread reminded of this beast - I love these alternative engines - I saw this car a few years ago (never seen it since). check out www.v8914.com the workmanship is nuts - 750ibft of torque from a twin supercharged chevy 350cubic inch motor - in a 914! and best of all it is made in england...
