Great time at the UCR social at the Oakville Porsche Centre on Tuesday. Picked up some nice classic tires at Mantis while in town (thanks Wayne).
David C left his teener at home, but Walter was there with his six and my son Jack and I were in the white car. Lots of enthusiasm for 914s and some new contacts for SIG914. A great night for me as Walter threw me the keys to his 3.0 litre six. What a car! After over 30 years of 914 ownership, I finally got to drive a six! Thanks Walter! Here's the pair as the dew settled in. Thanks to our hosts, Oakville Porsche Centre and UCR PCA.

Thanks again for the opportunity to drive your amazing car.

Hi John.
Great to see you and Walter at the Porsche Centre event Tuesday. Sorry, guys, for being a bad 914 enthusiast and not driving it to Oakville, I hope you didn't spot me leaving in a 911!
Regrets for the Restoration event as I have a previous engagement.
But here's a shot of my car after just waxing it (if you look closely, you can tell I've perfected "wax on" only).
John, lmk if you ever want to drive my car - its engine displacement is more than half Walter's - haha.Attached Image
Have fun, guys.

I should be able to make the Restoration Design event (need to look at new floor pans while I'm there) and scavenge around for an original radio (working or not). Need to confirm a few logistical items.Attached Image

We are welcoming all to come check out the shop and the new building we have just completed. This will be our 10 year anniversary that we are celebrating!

Here is the 914/6 that we are currently assembling. As well as several other 914's that will be here, I hope to have on display an Ivory 1970 914/6. It is in need of a full restoration and will be for sale.

I hope to see many of you here.

Hey guys, thanks for posting!

Here's the latest from Peter deJonge of Restoration Design:

914s will be coralled in one area and I will personally give a tour to the 914 group.
We will have our 914/6 that is under restoration on display. I also hope to have another 6 here that we just purchased. It is a project car that will be for sale.


Spread the word! Let's see all those 914s one last time before they go into hibernation!

Hi Tony, I'd love to make the boardwalk show but can't swing it. What a great destination. I believe our UCR Zone 1 rep is making the journey. Looking forward to your pics as you represent the 914s!!!

Mark your calendars now and save the date for the first annual Boardwalk Reunion at Ocean City, New Jersey on Saturday, 19 October 2019. Jointly hosted by PCA Zone 1 & Zone 2, and supported by the 356 Registry, Boardwalk Reunion will bring hundreds of Porsches to ‘America’s Greatest Family Resort’ on the South Jersey shore. Boardwalk Reunion is more than just a laidback cars and coffee on the Boards- it’s a unique opportunity to drive up onto and display your Porsche on one of New Jersey’s most iconic Boardwalks against an ocean backdrop that is simply spectacular. You’ll be able to meet and socialize with Porsche owners from across the Mid-Atlantic region, and savor Ocean City at its most beautiful and peaceful time of the year. We’ll marshal at Ocean City’s Municipal Airport at 10 AM, depart an hour later under police escort, and then park and hang out on the mile long Boardwalk until 4:00 PM. There will be plenty of time to socialize, to shop and have lunch downtown or on the Boardwalk, enjoy free tech sessions at the Music Pier, walk the beach and take lots of great photos! Join us for a Beach Party on Saturday night at the Flanders Hotel, right off the Boardwalk- we’ll have great Boardwalk comfort food, cocktails and a DJ. Special room rates at the Flanders and nearby hotels. See our Facebook page for more details:

Some of our Quebec teeners are looking at hosting Mike "Dr. Evil" in the Montreal area for a 901 trans rebuild clinic. PM 914canuck for more info if you'd like to join. Here's a brief from Mike:

I talked with Stephane last night and he let me know what questions people were asking. I can start off with that I have been rebuilding Porsche 901 and 915 transmissions for 15 or more years. I have been doing group clinics since about 2007 and have done dozens with up to 22 students. I have done two in Port Hope, Ontario at a friends house over the years and now we are looking at doing one in Cantley.
1- Can we do 915 as well? No. The 915 is a different animal and considerably more frustrating to rebuild. The 901 is a simple, straight forward transmission that can be done in a day. I will do 915, but I do not teach them as it can take a few days and I do not have spare parts (or many) so have to order everything.

2 - How long is the class? I set aside a whole weekend. Typically starting Sat morning around 9-10 and then going until we are all spent, which has been 2-3am. However, with a small group I have had an easy time getting everyone done by 10pm. The second day can be used as a safety, at that point.

3 - How much? If we can get a solid 5 people to pay, then $300/person. If you have a 18yo or younger co-builder, they are free as we want to get the young ones and family involved in this hobby and having younger folks around is a good time.

4 - Other expenses/what usually goes out? I have been adamantly pushing that everyone change their main bearings (two pinion and two input shaft bearings) when they open up the transmission unless they have a rare case of knowing that the transmission has low miles and was not abused. The bearing sets retail for $1200-1300. I sell them for $750. You will also need a seal kit. You can get this yourself, or I can supply them. It is not cheaper for me to supply them other than maybe saving on shipping as I get them for same retail price as the retailers sell them. Things that wear out on the transmissions, other than the aforementioned bearings, are typically 1 and 2nd teeth and bands. Everyone should plan to replace these. 1/R slider is another thing that is often bad. 2-3 slider often is also worn, see cost below. 3-5 gears are a crap shoot as to what is worn and we can postulate prior to my arrival what might be wrong in your transmission.
Costs of parts:
Bands - $45 ea used limited supply, New $90ea
Teeth - $75ea, used limited supply, new $130ea
1/R slider - Good used $150 limited supply, new $350 ( retail $450)
2-5 slider - Used limited supply $80, new $192

So, if you are counting this up at home you should have come up with the following as a ball park cost:
Tuition - $300
Bearings - $750
Seal kit - About $45
1/R slider - $150new/$350used
Synchro bands - $90/$180
Synchro teeth - $150/$260
2-5 slider - $80/$192

Total = $1415 used/$2077 new

I have about 12 cores to part out before this clinic and this will help with used parts. As you can see, they can save you a lot.

This format here allows us to actually do some work before the clinic and we can all share in diagnosis and treatment plan for your transmission. Once we decide on a date for the clinic, and I get tuition paid, we can do part of the clinic here in group with me guiding minimal disassembly of your transmission so we can better predict what is necessary for repair. We can see if you need a 1/R slider, or how many bands if you take good pics. Also, we can inspect your pinion as a group and everyone can learn from the diagnosis and inspection. This means you will show up to the workshop with gear stack removed and ready to go. Special tools are needed to disassemble the gear stack and I wont have you try that on your own.

When at Restoration Design, we ventured out into their bone yard, and what should I spy? blink.gif The first 914 my wife Patty and I ever took for a road tour together - back around 1990 when it was a good looking 1972 Willow Green car with 2.0 Fuchs.

News from PCAUCR Annual Banquet / Invitation to Mosport Driver Education

Thanks to all involved in the 2019 PCAUCR Annual Banquet. The Islington Golf Club provided a beautiful location and the steak was very good. Guest speaker Autostrada publisher/photographer Lucas Scarfone gave a touching talk about giving back by fulfilling automotive fantasies for critically ill/special needs kids.

I was surprised with being a co-recipient of "Enthusiast of the Year" which, as a newbie, I received humbly as the other recipient has given tirelessly to the club for many years.

Good fortune smiled on me as I held the winning ticket for a coveted door prize - a PCA UCR Driver Education weekend at Mosport for 2020! To be eligible, I first have to have my car pass track inspection and complete the Introductory Driving School (IDS) course on the skidpad in April. If anyone is interested in joining me at the track please let me know. I know that some of you guys have experience and could bypass the IDS.

Nice to have something to look forward to for 2020. driving.gif

Anyone interested in fractional ownership of the Duval car?? Selling the house and liquidating everything is just not going to produce the $ necessary to score this remarkable beauty. It sure would be nice to see the car land back in the hands of Jacques, Bob or George. I really hope these guys can be reunited with the car at Daytona in 2021 for the 50th anniversary of their win.
Thanks to Mark H for sharing the link regarding the upcoming auction of this important piece of Porsche history.

2020 is going to be another great year for the 914!!!
The 2019 CanAm 50th celebration was so fun we're doing it again. We are only in the planning stages but are working toward bringing you the 24 Minutes of Le Mans at Mosport on August 2, 2020 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the GT Class victory of the Sonauto 914-6 at the 1970 Le Mans.

Attached Image

Tentative plans:

Like the 2019 event, PCA Club Racing will be going on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so there'll be lots of screaming Porsche car action to check out.

Participants travelling from afar are encouraged to roll in Saturday to hang out. There's lots to take in on the track and the PCA paddock. We can gauge interest for a fun run for supper.

We'll retire back to the track for a campfire Saturday night.

Sunday will be a corral/show (all cars in place by 10 a.m. please) with the "24 Minutes of Le Mans" parade laps around noon. If it's anything like last year, our 24 minutes will likely stretch out longer. This time, I'm thinking we'll head out on the road after the laps ending at Mark's for an afternoon BBQ/social.

If anyone has ideas to contribute please share.

For our US friends, just ask TonyA (Pennsylvania) or Garland (Michigan) about the 2019 event. Garland's videos show what an awesome venue Mosport is.

Please note that this is a PCA event. Camping at Mosport is great with good bathroom and shower facilities.

Hey David, thanks for posting the Mosport memory. Yup, that's the Labatt's 50 1973 GP of Canada.

Great YouTube video below of all the famous drivers being paraded in 914s.
I used the video to help recreate these Labatt 50 Grand Prix of Canada door cards for our pace car tribute at the CanAm in tribute to Eppie Wietze as the first pace car in F1.

Here's an excerpt from an email I sent to the SIG914 group last year prior to our event:

So, by now you know we are doing parade laps of CTMP as part of the 914 50th Celebration, and you probably also know we are parading behind a recreation of the 914 Pace Car from the 1973 Grand Prix of Canada, but did you also know that a fleet of 914s were used to parade the famed drivers around the track in the '73 Grand Prix?

Check out this YouTube video at the 6:34 mark. Great stuff!!!

bye1.gif Please welcome Michael W. to our SIG914 group. Michael purchased a stalled restoration project from Mike's 914s - a '73 2.0. Mike reports the chassis is super solid. He is looking for someone reputable in Southern Ontario willing to take on a complete rebuild of his engine.
On a related note, congratulations to David Stewart for taking over Autosparks European car service in Guelph! We look forward to getting some 914s out to one of his upcoming driving tours.
Don't forget to chime in here with what you're up to with your 914 as we count down to spring!

Anyone interested in fractional ownership of the Duval car?? Selling the house and liquidating everything is just not going to produce the $ necessary to score this remarkable beauty. It sure would be nice to see the car land back in the hands of Jacques, Bob or George. I really hope these guys can be reunited with the car at Daytona in 2021 for the 50th anniversary of their win.
Thanks to Mark H for sharing the link regarding the upcoming auction of this important piece of Porsche history.

Regarding Hershey, we'll have to keep in touch through email.
I'd love to make it to the 914 gathering on Friday, but I typically am not rolling in until midnight. We'll see how that goes and plan to meet up there for sure!

Way too quiet out there.
Thankful to have my little escape pod to get me out and keep me sane.
This is the first year I've ever had the car out in March and it turns out to have been a good call.
Gord, I see you posted your 914-6 on FB about awaiting spring. I hope clear roads are coming your way soon!
Looking ahead tentatively, how many out there would consider forming a 914 corral at the 2020 VARAC Vintage Grand Prix at Mosport on Father's Day, Sunday June 21st? The cost of admission is reasonable, and camping is free. I'm looking at going Friday night through to the Field of Dreams car show and 3 lap parade of the Mosport Grand Prix circuit on Sunday. Event organizers are happy to give us our own space at the show. Here's the link: https://varac.ca/2020-varac-vintage-grand-prix/

Our first couple of competition Enduro's with the dirt bikes are cancelled. That takes us into June and from what I'm hearing we may be looking at July before things start to look semi normal again.

confused24.gif Hi Patrick, wish I could tell you more. All I can say is that I'm advocating for making it an event with online club registration required for parade laps in the hopes that we'll be considered participants, not spectators. It may be a case that only participating vehicles will be allowed in and that 50 cars from various SIG groups will be the limit. We probably have some flexibility on where we are depending on numbers. There's last year's spot by the winner's podium, a nice green space by the event centre right across the pedestrian bridge at the starting line and various green spaces around the track. That we can work out. I'll post any developments here. I know we're all very much looking forward to this and will do my utmost to make it happen!!! At the same time, I will accept and support the club's decision to not allow it if they feel our participation presents a safety concern.

Porsche Parade July 9th.

Hi everyone! Please lmk here or by personal email (better than PM for me) if you are interested in participating in this Classic Porsche Parade of 4 senior residences in the GTA region.

Attached is the concept in its present form. More details to follow as numbers become known.

Hi everyone!

On John's invitation, I'm introducing myself and my recently purchased 1972 914 to the group.

Attached Image

At some point in its life, the engine was swapped to a 2.0 (it looks like this might have been relatively recently), and the body repainted to a silver/metallic grey. The underside is surprisingly free of rust (though obviously not rust-free), but there are lot of body issues going on, with the repaint cracking, lifting and bubbling in multiple places. The previous owner had it for under a year, and decided to sell it after discovering how much a professional repaint would cost.

So far my plan is to address the immediate drivability issues (primarily the front/rear suspension and the shifter bushings) this summer, and then think about doing a full disassembly/restoration next year.

Would love to hear everyone's opinion about how to handle the fuel lines... they will need to be addressed in the not-so-distant future, and I gather there are arguments for and against replacing the plastic tubes (and hoses?) with stainless.

The car appears to have been local to the GTA at least since 1973, so if anyone recognizes it, I would love to hear anything about its history!

Hi everyone! Please lmk asap here or by personal email (better than PM for me) if you are interested in participating in the Classic Porsche Parade of senior residences in the GTA region.

There will be 4 different parades on July 9. Each one will start at one of the Porsche Centres and each will drive to 1 retirement residence. Downtown Porsche and PCNT start at 9am. Then Pfaff and PC Oakville start at 1pm.

There will be a designated speaker at each location who is going to explain the 12 cars in each parade. Just a short blurb.

Depending on how many cars we get signed up, we may have some cars participate in both a morning session and an afternoon session.

No rain date.

Again, please lmk asap if you'd like to participate. I'll be joining the 1 p.m. meet at Oakville. I'll have some commemorative Porsche 914 50th T-Shirts with me from the 2019 PCA UCR Concours for $20.

I don't think there is any debate about replacing the fuel lines with stainless. Unless you enjoy a car-b-q, get them replaced with stainless.

Sad that my '73 914 was the oldest car at the Oakville parade - was hoping to see some 356s there but it was stupid hot.

Thanks to Oakville Porsche Centre and PCL for the hospitality and sweet swag (2 Porsche models and a Porsche blanket).

Lucas Scarfone was on hand taking photos, so hopefully some of his great pics will surface here.

PARADE LAPS AT MOSPORT AUGUST 9TH!!!!!CANCELLED!!!

As you know, the PCAUCR CanAm weekend was cancelled along with our "24 Minutes of LeMans" parade Laps.

We now have a tentative invitation to join the Trillium BMW club Sunday August 9th for parade laps of classic BMWs and Porsches during the lunch hour @12pm-1pm on Sunday August 9. The group of classics would get ~10 laps but it may be less if there is a group photo opportunity at certain corners of the track. There would be a nominal fee, which would also include lunch for the driver but there will be additional lunch cost if there are passengers in the car. Note that our members will participate in this event as individuals and NOT as PCA or UCR members.

Organisers are needing to gauge interest before moving forward. Please reply to me by 8:00 p.m. Thursday night whether or not you will participate.

Doug Ford announced group gatherings of more than 10 inside and 25 outside are not allowed with huge fines in place. Ontario has an up tick in covid cases. I'm not going to be surprised if the open house gets cancelled this year. I imagine there will be an announcement one way or the other shortly.

I will confirm that the open house and SIG Tour are cancelled. Unfortunately the Ontario Government has reduced the amount of people for indoor gatherings to 10. Which is not really feasible for us to do guided tours while potentially 25 people are waiting outside.

We will have to wait till next year. We will be doing a drone fly through in the next couple weeks and putting that on our social media. When that is up I will let the world know.

Terry Fox 911

Us Canucks are celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend.

I'm feeling particularly thankful for all the healthy kids in my Grade 4 class. On Friday, the kids painted my 911 to raise awareness for their fundraising effort in support of the Terry Fox Foundation for cancer research.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Terry's Marathon of Hope.

With the COVID situation, this year's fundraising effort is pretty abysmal. There is certainly no expectation or pressure on anyone to donate, but if this is a cause close to your heart and you'd like to make some kids smile here is the link to our fundraising page at the Terry Fox Foundation.

http://www.terryfox.ca/BranlynSchoolBrantford


Sir Andy, if this is inappropriate content feel free to strike it down. I think in times like these it is pretty cool to see kids taking action for good causes.

I wish I could share with you pictures of them painting the car and then parading the neighbourhood with banners. They would be sure to make you smile.

The kids were completely stoked to paint a Porsche and the car drew lots of attention and photo ops in front of the school.

Have a great holiday weekend!

Thanks!

John

With the COVID situation, this year's fundraising effort is pretty abysmal. There is certainly no expectation or pressure on anyone to donate, but if this is a cause close to your heart and you'd like to make some kids smile here is the link to our fundraising page at the Terry Fox Foundation. Every $1 helps. Please share our link and help the kids achieve their goal of $500.

Sir Andy, if this is inappropriate content feel free to strike it down. I think in times like these it is pretty cool to see kids taking action for good causes.

I wish I could share with you pictures of them painting the car and then parading the neighbourhood with banners. They would be sure to make you smile.

The kids were completely stoked to paint a Porsche and the car drew lots of attention and photo ops in front of the school.

Have a great holiday weekend!

Thanks!

John

Happy Holidays to all my teener friends!!!

Thank you John for the kind words & Happy Holidays to you !
The #40 Sonauto has actually set the new benchmark for 914 sales...as Porsche says in some of their adverts: "Nothing even comes close". In this case, Brutus, the O. Chandler 916, Duval m471, all sold way South of #40. Price cannot be disclosed as an agreement between the parties . Side note: the #86 BFG in the pic , which was part of the acquisition...is featured in this month's 000 Magazine (issue 16). The BFG Radials T/A (street tires) equipped on 2 924GTR race cars entered in the 1982 LM24 hour.

You hold an amazing privilege to be the custodian of that car, and we are all happy that you have it in your care! Price tag aside, its pedigree ranks it as number 1. So sad we did not get the opportunity in 2020 to proceed with our planned Sonauto tribute at Mosport. Perhaps we can double the celebration this year with the 50th of Jacques Duval's win. Can you tell us if there is any hope of a 2021 Rennsport Reunion?

Hi John @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=6599 , not sure about the Lüft shows and their schedules. Patrick Long, Jeff Zwart and Howie Idelson are the show's founders and they are the key people in arranging these shows. I (just like you) find out via media as far as dates & place . "Hopefully" they start right in with an East Coast/ USA show...as originally planned for North Carolina aktion035.gif

Hi everyone,

I got a referral from John Tipper to join the group. I have a 1970 914. It was pretty mangled when I got it, and far from original, but I am slowly restoring it to a decent shape. Rebuilt the transmission, upgraded the 1.7L to 2056cc, and have been working on smaller projects like suspension, etc.

Look forward to meeting everyone as the weather warms up. Car is currently on the road and the only thing that got me through COVID lockdown. Will post some pictures once I figure out how to setup a link or attach an image. Its giving me grief.

Cheers,
Brad

Yes, likely. The car spent a considerable amount of time in BC before being in Ontario, but don't know much more than that. Also has the rear defroster windows. Has a replacement engine (from a '72), and has all sorts of strange mods such as GT fiber glass fenders on the rear, but not front. I love my 914, but its clearly had many different owners with different visions.

Question for the group - does anyone know who owns the red 914 that is often driven through Orangeville? Has the luggage rack on the back. Have spotted him multiple times, but am always in my Jeep and never at a stoplight.

PS, no need to check VIN. It already tells you that it is a '73, which you already knew as it is the only year for 1.7 and sideshift.

I could be interested in the entire drivetrain if the engine turns.

What a shame. Willow green is one of my most absolute favourite colours. Ahhh, so white originally? Good windshield? Looking for an original. Surprising that there could be a ton of good parts on there.

Looks like a pretty light restoration for a Canadian car. Did I see this previously advertised at Beverly Hills Car Club?

They won't fit my car... not sure what they are worth. Riley wants me to keep the fuchs for possible future cars but I'm not convinced. I have all four. There's a steel wheel on the other side of the car and the wheel/tire that was in the trunk even has a tire (Michelin from the period) that looks good. There's a few things I want but the engine/trans are up for grabs. Don't know yet if the engine is seized. Air filter and everthing is there, as far as I know it was running when it was parked but that's forever ago. And it was in the North Bay area, looks to me like it was sitting outside.. Did have a closed engine lid with the rain catchers intact. I think it started out white.

I am uncertain what you want here. If you want to lower the rpms while cruising in top gear then that could be a bit of a challenge. The 914 has a fifth gear code ZD which is the highest normally available gear set. No 911 even used a gear that high. In fact, the 914/4 is actually lugging the engine in 5th at normal legal speeds; the choice the factory made to maximize fuel economy back in the day, but insufficient airflow to properly cool the heads it has been claimed. On the other hand, there a lot of choices below ZD available.

I'd like to take time to introduce you to the origin of my affliction, my brother-in-law Mark. Mark bought his 1973 914 in 1984 and restored it in his carport. After I drove Mark's car I had to have my own and bought my first in '87. It's been an ongoing addiction ever since. Mark's car features a 2 L rebuilt by Uli Furtmair. It is finished in the original color Bahia red and sports 5 bolt Fuchs style wheels. Dave N ( Slyder) just went over the car for Mark after sitting for 6 years. Dave P rebuilt the rear calipers. The car is now back in service and Mark is a very happy man. I hope we see Mark and all of you together soon.

I'd like to wind up with a spare that's got a higher final gear that's been freshened.

I am uncertain what you want here. If you want to lower the rpms while cruising in top gear then that could be a bit of a challenge. The 914 has a fifth gear code ZD which is the highest normally available gear set. No 911 even used a gear that high. In fact, the 914/4 is actually lugging the engine in 5th at normal legal speeds; the choice the factory made to maximize fuel economy back in the day, but insufficient airflow to properly cool the heads it has been claimed. On the other hand, there a lot of choices below ZD available.


Dave I don't know if you remember Patrick's silver teen, but he has a VW diesel (IIRC turbo) conversion, so his gearing choices will be quite different.

See what Mark said. The
engine I have in the car is happy at lower rpm.

Hi, finally have mine back from being at Mike's 914s for quite sometime.
I'm looking for a 914 mechanic in the Kitchener-Waterloo area to help with a situation where the car experiences a total loss of power while driving in 'hot' weather. Ran fine in the spring, however now that the weather has heated up, she stalls out totally? After a short wait she will run again, but has stalled out before I make it back to my driveway. Can anyone here recommend a 914 mechanic in the Kitchener area?
Here is my '72 1.7. (My second 914, my first one came out of Crosby Volkswagen in March 1972, which was destroyed on the 401 after approx 22k miles of great driving. I had been trying to replace for quite some time when I found this one at Mike's in 2018, it was a very dark green at that point. Thanks for looking, and any help will be appreciated.

Hi Gary,

You should have a look at the cylinder head temp sensor for one.

Also start reading this page and go through the diagnostic yourself.

Hi Gary. Not sure if we've talked before or not. Your car is looking sharp. Is this the car with the interesting speedometer face? Is the car carbureted? Sounds like vapour lock. If carbed, make sure your fuel lines are well isolated from engine heat. My white car used to do the same thing and simply raising the lines up a few inches did the trick. Please also be invited to our Whatsapp group. Please email me to be added. Also, if you are PCA, please lmk on that too, so I can ensure that you are notified of 914 member events.

Hello John.

I don't think we have met. The car still has it's FI intact. We thought of vapour lock as well, however, my stalling occurs during a drive, especially in real warm weather like we have been having for the past month or so. My regular car mechanic has been very busy during this lock down, and I haven't been able to get the car into his shop until he has a free hoist. Hopefully next week .... fingers crossed. Dr914 - George - suggests we start with the head temp sensor .... and go from there. I'm not a PCA member as of yet, but I will send you an email to join your Whatapp group. Thanks for your input and hopefully I can relay better news next week. driving.gif

Thank you to all for their timely advise ... Mihai914, Dr914, John, and Mark.

(Space and time finally became available at my local mechanics shop, a former car racer, Shawn Arnott at Automotive Truck & Tire and special thanks are sent his way)

After we changed the cylinder head temperature sensor (and fuel filter) the car has been running fine without any sudden loss of power/stalling while cruising. Been doing just fairly short local runs lasting about an hour for the past week ... so far so good.

Looking forward to some fun summer drives. driving.gif

Great to hear Gary. I didn't realize it, but guess that I was just in your backyard in Wellesley today. With you in New Hamburg and myself in Scotland, we'll have to get together with Dave (Slyder) sometime. Dave is in Drumbo. We should all put our town/city in our signatures to know who is where.

Thanks to member George K for the winning entry in the PCAUCR logo contest. New logo based on George's ideas looks great - but of course it would've been a little better as a 914 profile biggrin.gif If you're PCA you should've received the new logo in vinyl cling for your window and a new pin.

Canada says farewell to Magnus.

Well, sort of.

The 914 faithful in the Great White North say goodbye to "Cranky".

Attached Image

Owner Jarod, recently sold this outlaw 914 with a Magnus Walker connection on BAT and it is heading stateside again.

Dave (Slyder) and I, had the pleasure of chasing this little beastie in a fun run last November (pic on first page) and we can tell you it really moves out.

Jarod recently gave me the pleasure of taking Cranky out for a spin. I must say, the vintage FAT 2.4 build is a potent recipe. Maybe a little too raw for some, but I happen to like Rice Krispies and enjoyed all the Snaps, Crackles and Pops from this little carbureted monster. The torque, said to be approaching 200 ft lbs, was delicious.

I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Cranky. You can see more about the car on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/p/CSJ-K1Gg409/

***August 31 Update***
Due to some cancellations spots are opening up for the UCR Concours on Saturday. We need more vintage Porsches and more 914s. If you can come claim your spot now and we'll see you Saturday. Of course you don't have to register to attend we just like to see more 914s on display and remember, cars needn't be show cars.

Posted by: 14carrot Sep 9 2021, 10:06 PM

Just two 914s the UCR Concours. The 914s seemed to generate a lot of interest. Darren's yellow 1974 1.8 is a highly original survivor that was a pleasure to see. Great chatting with so many 914 people including catching up with Walter and meeting Gord for the first time.

Everyone is invited to Porsche of London for a Cars and coffee at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. George K is planning on being there with this his 1974 1.8. You'll notice that he recently removed the sail panel vinyl. Should be a good turnout of the Porsche faithful.

Funny thing is, I promised it to him before getting my Bumblebee, which needs one, so I'm back in the market for one.
If anyone has one available, please PM me. Project spoiler needing repairs is fine.

Anyone interested in joining Tony and I for Perch in Port Dover Wednesday night lmk. We'll be hanging out at a cottage there. Maybe we can do 914s on the pier and have a little scoot. Room to crash at the cottage too if you don't mind leaving by 7:00 for breakfast at the Dover Dairy bar Thursday morning.

Finally got my 914 running again, making it possible to attend with

Contrary to event information posted, he says loaner helmets should be available.

Plan to see a broad cross section of P-cars, with some exotics and American muscle thrown in for good measure.

Hey, great to hear! My brother, Andrew, and I plan to attend. We are PCA members but thinking of bringing a few guests. Specifically, my wife Trevina, our sister Teresa, and a friend of my brother, John.

Wondering, though, what is the entry fee for non-PCA members?

As for the parade laps, we would like to secure passenger seats for our sister, and friend, John, if any are available. My brother and I, and my wife plan to find a good spot trackside this time and watch the laps.

Hey David,
My daughter Erin will be taking the passenger seat in my car, but there might be seats available in other UCR SIG member vehicles.
Looking forward to seeing you at the CanAm in July white914.jpg

Hey everyone, great turnout today at the UCR annual picnic. The number five bomber was the only 914 in the field. Lots of love today for the 914. Good to catch up with Gord. Erin had a great day too and is super stoked about camping out at Mosport for the July 31st CanAm meetup.

A little better showing for 914 at the Porscheplatz at the Mosport IMSA race on Sunday. Organizers directed David and me to park our cars front and center. Wow, how times have changed. The 914 is certainly getting a new level of respect and interest.

Just got off the phone with David Tipton. It turns out there's a good reason why we haven't seen him and Carrie around. Turns out David and Carrie have relocated to Cape Breton. David sends his greetings to all the 914 gang, and says to look him up right by the causeway if you're down east.

We'll be thinking of David's 2019 appearance at 914 50th event at Mosport as we take to the Mosport GP circuit again for parade laps on July 31st during the PCA Zone 1 Club Race.
All PCA members are invited to join us for this free event.

Got waved through at the Porsche True North After Dark meet at Porsche Centre Oakville last night. Interesting to see the 914 mystify many of the attendees and elicit fond memories among the elders sunglasses.gif . The highlight for me was chatting with Harry Bytzek's son. Like Jacques Duval, Harry was a Canadian 914-6 GT privateer, who raced IMSA against the factory favoured Brumos team of Peter Gregg and Hurley Haywood. Here's a pic of Harry and Brumos from the 1971 Bridgehampton race.
Maybe we can get a squadron of 914s to invade the next PTN meet?

PCA-UCR IS CALLING ALL 914s!!! – MEMBERSHIP NOT REQUIRED!
The annual PCA-Upper Canada Region Concours and Show & Shine event is tomorrow, Sunday, August 28 at Firemen’s Park in Niagara Falls.
PCA membership is not required for participation, and the entry fee is just $25. Currently there is not a single 914 registered, which is a shame as there are very nice people's choice trophies prepared. So $25 may get you a nice grille badge, goodie bag and trophy if you can make it.
Spectators enter free of charge.
This promises to be another great event at a beautiful venue with nice amenities on site, a day to bring the whole family out to, and a chance to catch up with your Porsche buddies and check out an abundance of gorgeous machinery.
Everyone’s a winner, with trophies awarded in 14 classes in the peer-judging Show & Shine and nine classes in the judged Full-Concours for Classics, plus Goodie Bags from our generous sponsors for all participants, including a beautiful event memento grille badge. All Porsche models will be represented, from the 356 to the Taycan.
This is not just for garage queens; all Porsches are welcome, so don’t be shy. Please find more information here: https://pcaucr.org/concours/ or go straight to the registration page here: https://clubregistration.net/events/signUp.cfm/event/12672

Looking for the owner (Dean?)of this gorgeous #11 red 914 to post in and say "hi". Props to you for joining us at the UCR Concours. We only wish you had registered and displayed your car to take home a People's Choice trophy.

Are you a 914 owner in Ontario or Quebec? Please email me to join our WhatsApp chat.

Last Saturday saw 5 914s turnout to Randy's annual Whaletail swap and show.

Maybe we can squeeze a few more events in this fall.

Here are a few shots from Saturday of some cars you may recognise.

Looking forward to familiar faces and meeting some new 914 buddies at this year's meet at Mosport. We have over 75 cars registered, including seven 914s, a 935 Kremer, and a few vintage Porsches, like a '63 356 and a '68 912.

Our own David Billo is sure to capture some great pics and we look forward to what he shares!

If you were unable to come this year plan now to attend next year when we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the LE cars with the biggest showing of LE cars ever in Canada.

More to come on that.

See you at the track!

-John
