Hey all,
I just wanted to send out a sincere Thank you to all involved in the purchase/pick up of my first 914.
Joe thanks for hosting the place to meet. Good BBQ, good Beer and good people
Howard,
The car made it home running very, very well. After a few days of looking at it closer I am indeed Extremely pleased with my purchase. Thanks again Howard for making the purchase a simple task. Also, thank you for the box of goodies that you threw in.....
Thanks to the rest of you that came forward with parts and supplies.
Waide
It was fun. Joe kicked ass with the hosting and Howard got ya a really clean car.
BTW, did ya put that 914CLUB sticker I threw in the trunk on it yet?
Congrats on the new car waide, looking forward to seeing you and the car at the next RRC.

I've done nothing to it really yet. I plan on dropping the muffler and painting it black, so it'll be all one color. I also looked into tinting the windows and I thought about looking into replacing the speakers........NOTHING really technical yet. We'll work our way into that. hehe
Thanks again Howard
If you EVER need a reference, feel free to PM me. Very easy to work with

You have to wait for at least one month after mine is complete. I want to be faster than Waide for just a little bit. Of course...since the engine is soon to be on the way....you are welcome to do my conversion while waiting for Liz's parts. Just an idea.....just throwin' it out there......just thinkin' out loud.....just a little brainstorming. Besides, how busy could you possibly be assembling every nut and bolt on her car? |
Waide,
Bring your car over any time for a free oil change courtesy of Shaggy!

I heard that engine when you fired it up to leave and you were warming it up.
Just idling away with a perfect sound and a bit of a lumpy yet elequent sound.
I don't pretend to know more than any good back yard mechanic by listening to stuff.
BUT....
That engine sounded like it had a cam that wasn't stock.
The whole engine sounded Extremely good.
If I had to make a guess. That little sucker runs better than you or anyone guessed when you picked it up.
Anyway. Thats was my sniff after listening to your engine run for about a minute.
Am i right.?????

Aw shit. Now the LE gods are going to come down on me if I cut a hole in it.....
Waide,
nice car.
nice job to Howard, and Joe too.
So now that the arizona contingent is growing...
you boys wanna come up to colorado in may for a 914 TRACK event....
(unfortunately there will be track fee's, but it seems like the two of you need to settle a score like men and prove whom is the faster?)
oh p.s. Waide, can you teach me how to levitate food like that?
brant

Howard did a bunch of research and talked to a PO that had the work done and said it was an upgraded cam and work had been done to the pistons (unk). |

The wife thinks it's too loud, so that makes it about right..... |
OMG! Those pictures are so funny John!
Waide, glad you got such a great teener. Enjoy!
Who was it I spoke to about a dizzy "still in the box"?
PM me......
John
P.S. Nice car Waide.
Great looking ride Waide!

Nice looking car.
Although I REALLY want to kill the person who invented those horrible huge black mirrors that have seemingly infested every 914 in the world.
(As I am filing/sanding/smoothing the drilled out holes on BOTH sides of my car to get rid of those gawdawful monstrosities).
I have a confession to make.:prayer:
I once installed a set of mirrors like that (Baby Toronados, if I recall correctly, it was long ago).
They are on my '75 car.
I thought they went well with the big bumpers.
I am remorseful, Rick.
John
P.S. I sill have the stock ones in a box in the garage, thanks for reminding me!
Thanks for the nice words, Waide. I think you got a real winner. If you decide to pull that engine to smog or put in a 6, PLEASE call me. One of the best 4's I've ever driven. Come back out, we can swap out that motor for my stock FI engine
