914World.com _ 914World Garage _ My 914 is fixed and running!
Posted by: jcambo7 Jun 21 2010, 03:32 PM
So on June 10, I purchased Effutuo101's car from him. It is arriving here either tomorrow or Wednesday and I am hoping tomorrow. I already have the insurance set up for it and everything, so as soon as I get it I can drive it! 
Man I can't wait to finally have a drivable 914!

Bring it by for lunch on Wednesday and we'll go to Coits. 
(Coits is a local drive-in mini-chain here in OKC that, among other things, brews their own root beer...)

LOL! yep. I was called a poser between 914's. So I have carried on the tradition.

nice wheels! are they 5 lug? looks like they're off a 944/968 or something
Posted by: Socalandy Jun 21 2010, 07:30 PM
Sweet ride!! Those are 5 lug 924 wheels and look nice blacked out

That car is going to look so HOT snaking down the Tail of the Dragon at MUSR. Common Oklahoma!

Chris: Thanks I got the email with the guys number and name. Honestly you did a wonderful on the car and did a better job treating me so well for this sale. You did things that I didn't expect you to do before sending the car to me and I truly appreciate it! I look forward to hopefully meeting you and possibly taking you to lunch to return the kindness you have shown me! You will never be 914 poser to me because of the work you put into this car!
kerensky: I might be able to do that depending on where it is at and how busy it is. I only get an hour for lunch and I try not to drive too far away to restuarants so as not to be late.
Root_Works: I know and I am very lucky to have a great brother in law that hookked me up with this car. Jon was the one that introduced to me to the car and got me hooked on it.
Bandjoey: I am honestly considering going MUSR if I have the time and money to do it. It sounds like it would be a great time and also a great oppurtunity to meet up with some fellow midwestern and southern teeners!

Yeah that would be me! And I remember that also, the coffee place on Queen Anne Hill or something... I have definitely heard of Jeff and his legendary work on these engines! I will most definitely drive this car a lot also! He certainly did do an amazing job and I cannot wait to drive it.

Nice car.
It's great to have a car that is drivable. The 2L has a lot more grunt than the 1.7/1.8L.
Good luck

I will definitely give you a call. Possibly July 27th I might have the day off.
Posted by: kerensky Jun 23 2010, 09:24 PM
OK, I don't discuss it much here, but I'm a VW guy almost as much as a Porsche guy. I hang out with a local group of mainly watercooled VW folks at wetdub.com. So I log in tonite and see this thread...
So I gotta wonder if this was you?

If it was Pheonix red than that was me!
I live right next to 23rd st and I am constantly driving on it. Where did you see this at Chad? Oh and I like VW's also! I work with a guy that has a pretty nice Squareback. A lot of the guys on this forum like VW's also so don't be shy about it either!
Posted by: Sleepin Jun 23 2010, 10:29 PM
and jeff who put the engine together is a local legend [he's very modest]. enjoy that car it's meant to be driven
Is that Hines? Great guy!
Sounds like you are pretty happy for it! I am sure it will require a lot less work than the other car! (even though I was really rooting for a big project thread with the last one!)

I am a lot happier with it. Hines sounds like a great guy! It is a lot less work than the other one. I would have loved to be able to restore it but I don't have the time or money to get it done. I am hopeing to sell it to someone that be able to use it.

An acquaintance on the other site just lost a nice http://www.wetdub.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11497 - fuel leak, burned to the ground. And we all know 914s have a tendency to do this, too.

The fuel lines were replaced by the guy who owned the car before me. they are flexable and are in good shape. All of the rubber was replaced. So, there shouldn't be any issue there. I am glad James is enjoying his car!

Thanks everyone for the compliments about the car! I am enjoying it a lot. Today I am hoping to get it cleaned up and washed but first I have a few issues that came up today I need to fix.
Posted by: Root_Werks Jun 24 2010, 03:34 PM
Get some pictures up when you get the 914 all cleaned up!

Heck yeah I am stoked! It is the high light to my day, when I have to wake up at an ungodly hour to go to work! It feels so great out during the morning drive to work with the top off, it is awesome!

Maybe i missed it, but what kind of flares are those?
I don't think i have ever seen any like that before ...

They are sweet looking and unique! I love them! 
And the green and grey 914 above is freaking sweet! I love the color scheme!
Posted by: Root_Werks Jun 25 2010, 09:24 AM
The first time I saw those flares I was in awe. They look very, very sweet on a 914. The lines are really good.
It's a well sorted 914.
Congrats on the purchase!
Now enjoy and drive!

Dan: I know right! That 914 is gorgeous.
Vysoc: Thanks. I am enjoying the car so much. I am happy for you about getting your car running and drivable! That is so cool! Must feel great to be able to drive after all the hard work you have done.

Congratulations on the car! That is one sweet ride! Norman is my home town, but have transplanted to the east coast for a number of years now. One of the things I miss are the cloverleafs all up and down I-35, since those were my playgrounds back in the day..... I'll get my teener back there some day
Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Jun 26 2010, 03:16 PM
Sorry to those that feel they may have missed out on this. It's mostly my fault . James is my brother in laww after all
James, take the bumpers off the car and scrub the rubber really well and then use McGuires "back to black" on them. They should look like new once you've done that .
I really hope Tierra and I are able to come out mid July. We shall see .

.Well Jon I just want to thank you for hooking me up!!!! After all I am your brother in law.
I will have to try that out! Where would I get that stuff at? Auto zone or something on online? I would love for you guys to visit! That would be awesome!
Posted by: championgt1 Jun 26 2010, 11:14 PM
James, you should be able to pick that stuff up at the local auto parts store.

James, fex ex package with CD and the rest of the keys will be at your house this week!

Works for me - we should be back from vacation by then.

So today I was able to make some time to swap out the momo short shifter for the Renn shifter. I will say one thing: it made a huge difference! It shifted so smoothly and easily. It was awesome! I am going to enjoy driving this car even more now that it is in there!
Chris: Thanks. I will look a little harder to see if it is in there. I will let you know when I recieve the package
Sounds great Chad!

Lol...I didn't expect to see this thread back towards the front pages. Right now I am looking at oil coolers for my car. Researching them, finding out prices so I can start to put money aside for it, and mounting set ups I could do. I get a bit freaked out when I see the temp get close to 250 degrees F if I drive it for a long time with out a good long break.
Posted by: jcambo7 Jul 15 2010, 09:35 PM
Here are some more pics that I just took. A few with the car in the storage shed I rent behind my apartments! It may be a little tight but it keeps my car dry, out of the sun, and away from other people's cars.
Posted by: jcambo7 Jul 15 2010, 09:37 PM
Lights on during the day!

The club is theonepercent.net. I joined them while I was in the desert earlier this year. Thanks. I am really happy to have a place to keep my car dry and clean.

Now that my 914 is at my new home and now running I cleaned her up for some pics.
Put the orange headlight covers and eyebrows on.
The new steering wheel and tree.
