[PORSCHE] Porsche 914

[LegoDego]

Hello, this is my entry - Porsche 914. My model has flat four-cylinder engine, realistic rear suspension with trailing arms and double wishbone front suspension, openable: hood (with prop), trunk (in which the roof is stored) and doors (with fixation), and also very nice seats, adjustable working steering wheel, sun visors (which are also parts of the roof) and rising headlights (controls from passenger compartment).

My favorite feature - rising headlights:)

I agree with the others that the roof is a bit too high. Aside from that great entry!

Super... my favorite Porsche from Lego Technic.

I'm very excited.

I think the roof doesn't look good, it seems way too high, besides that, I really like it, especially the interior.

I know that problem and roof was lower but I have another problem with doors, so this is only way to solve it

But I glad to see that someone likes my model:) Thank you

Great job. My entry alludes to the 914. Great to see this.

What is the problem with the doors keeping you from lowing the roof?

Wow !

Any chance of an Ldd file for this ?

This is my favourite Porsche, I almost bought one a few years back, I did actually try to build one for this competition but couldn't solve the problem of the rear suspension and drivetrain.

I do agree the roof could be a stud or 2 lower

Nice! I like the looks a lot, and the parts used to make the back of the seats are imaginative. My entry will have the 914 name (914.5 to be precise), but won't be anything like the real 914...

I can make an instruction (after some improvements), but it depends on how many people interested in it. I could make 5 stud height roof instead 7, but it's too low and due to flex axles and panels I can't get a shape which I want. So I think that this roof is pretty good for me. And probably I will make detailed photos of a rear suspension;)

Some improvements of the rear suspension: moved shock absorbers closer to the center (sometimes wheels touched mounting) and add leverage to increase the strength of the structure.
