I'll be getting those as well, plus "S" calipers and vented rotors front and rear for the 5 lug conversion so I can mount these.

Yeah, yeah I know... Harbor Freight sucks. But I've posted on Craigslist for two weeks looking for a higher-quality stud welder / dent puller that won't break my bank, and I only had one flake respond (some sort of Prince from Nigeria). I also know to not expect much from the included HF slide hammer; I plan to weld an old pair of vise grips to it. It is on sale for $99, so I jumped on it today during lunch.

I bought a -8 from the Porsche factory. My wife and daughter have been sold to pay for it. Stay tuned for the install thread.

No tree, nothing under said no tree. Nothing for any of my cars nor for me either. In fact, I have not been to a store,bought anything for anybody and have no plans to do so. Not even for myself.


Thanks Mr. President

Here's the perfect tree for apartment dwellers -

Small

Inexpensive

Doesn't drop needles

Smells like a pine tree

Also picked up a multi tool with a scraper for getting off under coating and floor boards... Wife is picking up either a spray gun or some more socket sets for x-mas.

Only thing im aware of is a full leather track suit for my motorcycle.. I guess it relates as the motorcycle parks right behind the 914..

Baby came home this year and has been very good. Lots of presents under the tree for her:

Bilstein shocks
4 Brake caliper restorations
2 emergency brake cable boots
MPS diaphram replacement kit
All new fuel lines
All new vacuum lines
New plugs, points, wires, etc...
4 new injectors and new seals for each
Complete new set of fuel injection parts
Throttle and clutch cable
4 new tires

I know...I'm spoiling her!

Posted by: JawjaPorsche Dec 21 2012, 08:49 PM

My new lift wouldn't fit under the tree & came a week early! Since it wouldn't fit under my tree. I thought it only fitting it goes under my 914

A lot came in but nothing made it to the tree... All parts are in the garage waiting for installation...

The latest part is a Euro headlight switch for a Passat. It's going in the 914 and it has a rear fog lamp connection... I'm swapping most of the original 914 switches out...

Then there was a new drill press, a Boxster short shift kit, dual Howe pedals, really too much to list...

These two items bring my car a little closer to being optimized for what it was built for.
I still want to add an accusump and that will pretty much complete the car.
Then I can stop the bleeding, money wise that is, and hopefully keep it running in 2013 and make all planned events.
