914World.com _ 914World Garage _ teener tuesday puget sound teeners

Posted by: messix Apr 2 2006, 07:49 PM

i know there are about ten guys up north, seattle to marysville that need to get together now that there is some sun light after six pm. so we could meet up at some establishment for food and drink and bench racing.
we could come up with a regular spot or some one could pick a new place every week or biweekly that they would like to turn us on to.

wudda think guys?

Posted by: sixnotfour Apr 2 2006, 08:10 PM

Sounds Good ............Teener Tuesday beer.gif
Troy your in charge

Posted by: messix Apr 2 2006, 08:21 PM

becarefull of putting me in charge. i might get people in trouble. cool_shades.gif

Posted by: Zaney Apr 2 2006, 08:23 PM

I vote for the XXX Drive-In in Issaquah for one of the Tuesdays! jsharp.gif and beer3.gif (Homemade Rootbeer)

Good stuff!!! Plus the Drive-In folks there are car club friendly!

It's an idea for warmer weather.

Nate

Posted by: Headrage Apr 2 2006, 08:24 PM

I like Pikes market.

Is it teener friendly?

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 2 2006, 08:26 PM

Some 911/914 guys on Pelican NW BBS already meet at the XXX once a month on Sat. Its a good car meet with a drive sometimes..


Pike Place is fun on a Sat morning too. During the week there isn't too much to do there esp after 5pm except hit the bars.

Posted by: messix Apr 2 2006, 08:32 PM

pike place market? no way to much of a frigging zoo.

tripx would be good. we've got 3 hooters we can go to.

for good food there's that greek italian pplace in canyon park, and canyons at canyon park.

a coulpe of places in kirkland at carrilion point [park in the fire zone circle]

some good places in snohomish.

la familia in millcreek.

red hook in woodinville.

mac minimenes [spl?] in mill creek.

any others favorites out there?

Posted by: Zaney Apr 2 2006, 08:39 PM

Burgermaster in Montlake.
Murphy's Irish Pub in Wallingford
Eylisian Brewery on Capitol Hill

Any good Pizza and Brew place works great for me!

Posted by: messix Apr 2 2006, 08:41 PM

the rocker pizza and brew in alderwood

Posted by: Zaney Apr 2 2006, 08:44 PM

sad.gif Sounds great except I have shifts falling on the next three Tuedays.
If we get it rolling folks will make if they can!

I'm in! beer.gif

Posted by: messix Apr 2 2006, 08:46 PM

no problem there zaney you cook and we'll come on down. everone knows fire fighters can cook.

Posted by: Zaney Apr 2 2006, 08:48 PM

Anything can be cooked on a BBQ!

Except the beer would have to be Root flavored chowtime.gif

Posted by: lsimburger Apr 2 2006, 08:48 PM

I have not meet many local teeners, I hope this is an open invitiation. Sure would like to meet a few of you. I live in south Everett, Issaquah is a streach but I should be able to make a few meetings.
Larry Simburger

Posted by: messix Apr 2 2006, 08:52 PM

of course this is an open invite. this is a non-club club.
and i live just northeast of millcreek, your in my nieborhood.
we might have to split this thing up for south sound and north sound groups or people could just pick which one sounds closer or more fun.

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 2 2006, 09:01 PM

Well, lets make it quick as I leave for 2 months to South America....I'll be at the April 9th Harmon Brewery meet if I can.

Hope the rest of you make it esp you guy up north of Seattle. beer.gif

Posted by: messix Apr 2 2006, 09:09 PM

ok shall i call this our first teener tuesday april 4th meet at the lynnwood hooters. [unless some one else has a better place around lynnwood].
i'm off work at 6pm so i'll be there 'bout 6:20

Posted by: Rand Apr 2 2006, 09:15 PM

That works.

I vote for Red Hook some time in the future. smilie_pokal.gif

Once a week would probably be a bit too frequent for me to get away with, but I would love to hang out once or twice a month.

Great idea Troy! Let's do it.

Good idea. Tuesdays are usually good for me but I'm committed for the next two weeks. I agree with Rand that every week may be too much, although with everyone having busy schedules some people will always be available. Whether twice a month or every week it's a good idea to do it the same day. TripX works good, but I'm game for North end locations also, just tell me where.

Posted by: messix Apr 2 2006, 10:36 PM

i also think every week is hard for people to make,

Posted by: messix Apr 2 2006, 10:45 PM

btw i thinnk every other tuesday would be good unless this thing really takes off and the need for more teener bonding calls for every week.

Posted by: dinomium Apr 3 2006, 12:33 AM

sounds good to meez, I will try to make it, but living in Bremerton makes it tuff!

Posted by: porsha916 Apr 3 2006, 07:32 PM

I would also like to meet more teeners from the area! Bellingham is a bit of a ride for a tuesday night, any chance of having it on a weekend or a little farther north!!!

Posted by: Bleyseng Apr 3 2006, 08:05 PM

As I had said there is a meeting at the XXX once a month on the second Saturday. See the link:

A group of us track junkies meet the first Wednesday of every month in West Seattle. We have three regulars who are 914 owners.

This Wednesday we are meeting at the Pacific Rim Brewery in White Center on 14th Ave SW. Everyone is welcome. 7:00 pm.

Unfortunately my teener is still spread all over the garage ... and workshop.

I don't get out of the neighborhood too much until after April 15th ... CPA kind of stuff.

Eddie

Posted by: messix Apr 3 2006, 11:53 PM

maybe we should just meet at eddy's house and put his teener back together for him, no more excuses.

Let me know when and where. I believe that we will be meeting tonight at hooters in lynnwood? What time? Some times I can make it. Sometimes not. But tonight looks good.

Posted by: Solo914 Apr 4 2006, 10:12 AM

Are you guys meeting today? I was looking forward to meeting some of the Northwest teeners but I am picking it up today from the painter and taking it straight to the windshield shop to have the new windshield installed. I am thinking that if I play my cards right I should have it all back together by Sunday night. So? Next tuesday huh.gif biggrin.gif

Posted by: rjames Apr 4 2006, 10:58 AM

I'm a about 3 weeks (and a new carpet kit that I'm waiting for to show up) from being able to drive the 914 anywhere, but like the idea of a semi-regular get together.

Twice a month or so would be cool- and maybe we keep moving the location around so that it's fair for everyone?

Posted by: Eddie914 Apr 4 2006, 03:53 PM

Eddy,

Your teener has always been a lot more "put together" than mine.

I suspect that is why you go by "Smooth Eddy". Maybe I should be "Rough Eddie" to match the condition of my teener.

Posted by: Rand Apr 5 2006, 12:46 PM

I couldn't make it because we had a water leak upstairs and I came home to soggy sheetrock in the kitchen downstairs. Poked a hole in some sagging tape and drained a half gallon of water into a bucket.
headbang.gif
So I spent the evening fixing the leak (fortunately that was minor), cutting out the soggy sheetrock, and drying things out. Tonight I get to put it back together.

Looking forward to another Teener Tuesday!

Tim,
Wish I could make it this weekend but I am going out of town. Don't know if I told you are not but I bought a 914 this winter. I figured that I couldn't keep driving my Miata at the PCA events for ever and I was getting tired of driving Dads 911 sc. Anyways, I just got it back from the paint shop and I am puting it back together. I need to take in to Fordahls and have it alligned too. Well, see you at the next pca or scca event. Have a good one.

DANG IT!

Wierdest coincidence! So, the girlfriend and I rushed out the door(woodinville) to go meet you guys in carnation and had to run a few errands. Just as a pull into the shopping center where Top Foods is the car dies. So, I spent an hour going around the car trying to figure out what the heck is going on(fuel, Fuel Lines, Fuel Pump? Air Flow Meter, hoses or wires? etc) but in the middle of all this a young boy walks up and starts talking to me about his dads 914 and how he and his Dad work on it and the such. I asked if his Dad was around(at this time I have got my own Dad on speaker phone on my cell) and the kid tells me that his Dad is out with the 914 guys from the 914 Club....HAHAHAHA... That's where I am supposed to be!!!! Anyways, I got to meet Rand's son last night and what a great young man. We BS'd about the car while I climbed in/on and around it but to no avail. I ended up having it back to the house and I will have to take a look at it tonight.

No I didn't get the motor - probably should have - I wasn't even thinking about getting the whole car but the guy didn't really want to mess with parting it.

Teener Tuesday Alert!

Tuesday, May 23. Let's meet at the Roanoke Inn on the north end of Mercer Island. 1825 72nd Ave SE. Parking is tight, but I've arranged for reserved parking across the street at the VFW Hall. I'll be there by 6:30 PM.

The Roanoke is a cool old place, has an old roadhouse feel to it with a big front porch and a patio. Good food and a pretty crusty atmosphere for an upscale neighborhood. Best part is the tour around Mercer Island afterwards - some real fine twists and turns. The Kitsap guys could take the Bremerton ferry and be there 15 minutes after they hit the dock in Seattle.

Here's a link for info, a map and directions. http://seattle.citysearch.com/profile/10754973/

Posted by: Eddie914 May 23 2006, 12:35 PM

This is killing me! Close ... so very close! But I don't think I can make the event (the Roanoke Inn is even nice and close).

We got the 3.2 into the teener this weekend. WOW! Scary fast (once it's running on the main jets). Unfortunately the idle circuits on the Webers still need a lot of work. Lots of coughing and popping. It's got fresh fuel and the bowls and passages have been cleaned multiple times. Looks like the 46's are going to have to come off for a thorough cleaning and set-up. I'm tempted to put the 40's on for a test.

Additionally, my wife is working this evening and the kids need my attention.

Have a great time!

Posted by: Eddie914 May 24 2006, 03:49 PM

Glad you all had fun without me!

I had fun(?) trying to get the 3.2 to idle (again) with the 46mm Webers. We tried increasing the idle jet size from #60 to #65 (thanks to an ass dragger friend who canabalized the Webers on his 911 Carerra RS) with minor improvements. It still would not idle on all six cylinders but the popping was reduced somewhat.

I finally gave up and ripped the 46's off and put on a set of 40mm Webers from the old 2.7. I plugged in a set of #60 idle jets and ... WOW! Finally! The new 3.2 fired up and idled evenly on all six cylinders. The balance on the 40's was still fine after they had been sitting on the shelf for 9 months. She's a driver again!

Where is next Tuesday's meeting?

Where would you like Teener Tuesday to be?

Posted by: KELTY360 May 24 2006, 04:03 PM

Here's another pic from last night with a few of the guys: Morgan, Chris, Jim, Kyle and Kevin. The Mercer Island circuit was a hoot if you like hairpins and dark, rain slick roads.

If any of you south end guys are feeling left out, I will be going down around Oly and then up the Hood canal on sunday for my girlfriend's birthday. Looking to go up to one or two of the forts and eating dinner at the Nifty Fifties diner in Port Townsend. I just hope the weather will improve before then. Who is up for it??? Dino? DNHunt? Morgan? We could do "checkpoints" of where to get more cars into the line and continue up the canal.

Posted by: effutuo101 May 24 2006, 06:36 PM

Lots o fun! I think the next teener tuesday is in two weeks. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am personally in favor of driving before getting something to eat. More light, more fun.

Posted by: greenie May 24 2006, 07:14 PM

Hey Guys!

I'm really sorry about driving the "assdragger" Greenie had an appointment with her favorite set of jackstands.

Regarding why I needed to leave & not tackle the twisties, I've just heard the taildraggers can't keep up with the teeners so why bother? pray.gif

I also needed to get home , I had a long night ahead polishing up Greenies Trophy from the Mothers Day Show!!

I dunno if I can make it. I am planning on going to the PCA autox or drivers skills day at Bremerton Raceway and Sunday I have promised the wife to do "what ever she wants" wich means clean the basement....

IF you have the time, you should cut over at Belfair to the North Shore, find the road that links to Dewatto and take the long way to Bremerton or Sebeck! It is a GREAT drive!! Two lane twistys with a gas stop half way! It is a gem of a drive...

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer May 26 2006, 04:49 PM

Looks like I cant even make it now for Sunday! sad.gif Work scheduled me at the last minute, so that kinda ruins that! Maybe we can all get together and make that drive later in the season. It would be more fun that way.

Found the address for the Dock St. Landing. I think that it would make a much better location as far as parking, and it is usually way less crowded.

Posted by: Eddie914 Jun 15 2006, 10:58 AM

I'm in!

The 914/6 3.2 is finally close to road ready, and my wife will be town to look after the kids for the first time in nearly a month.

The heat shielding needs to be double checked on the oil supply line at the engine mounted oil cooler. The hose I'm currently using can't handle the heat from the headers.

The Webers 46IDA3C carbs still are NOT ready, but the engine is running pretty well on the old 40's off the 2.7.

See you there! Where?

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 16 2006, 07:26 AM

I have one I can loan you and I have the Janbo tester that can test the FI out including the wiring harness. I do have a 1.7l wiring harness laying around for the connectors.

What are the problems you are having?

he's bound and determined to tear off the djet and purchase carbs, linkage, a dif dist, a new fuel pump, filters, etc...i told him to SAVE some money and buy a harness from bowlsby. what do i know? very little, but that's a given. he just has a few connector issues at this point. intermitent fi probs.

k

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 16 2006, 08:57 AM

Yes, most of the issues with Djet are harness related due to old connectors and people ripping/pulling on them when in the engine bay. Bowlsby harness fixes alot of the Djet issues other than a MPS problem.
The Janbo tests all those connections and usually reports connects problems.

I'm voting for the Mercer Island run, only because it's closer and I'm a little suspect of my alternator or relay board or something that may be hindering my car's ability to charge the battery to the correct voltage. Speaking of, does anybody have a known good relay board that can bring (and maybe let me borrow for that night) to test against mine to see if my charging issues might be stemming from a bad board?

Careful at Gerber. When I frist bought my 914 and didn't know any better, I took it to them to check the fuel pressure. They found that I had a bad fuel pump. Without calling me first to approve any work ahead of time (like I requested) they replaced the fuel pump and then charged me $650 for the job. blink.gif

I know how much a fuel pump costs ($100ish) and how much time it take to put one in. So when I asked them what the other $500 was for they said that it was charges for labor for the time spent to put it in and measure the fuel pressure.

So they way I figure it they charge about $500 per hour for labor. For that much I should have at least got an oil/tranmission fluid change.

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 17 2006, 01:43 PM

Ok Rich, I can make some time to tune the car with the LM-1 meter. I'll talk to Blair as he runs the software better than I do.

I think I have a ready to go 1.7L MPS I can bring to tune to your setup. Maybe after work this week during the week?

Welding a bung takes about a half and hour to do for the O2 sensor.

Adjust the valves and all that other dizzy stuff before we do anything as the tuning will depend on the rest being in spec. Should run like a champ afterwards!

Now is this Rich that is up in mill creek? Or seattle? I just remembered that I went up to a guys house up there for 914 work, and ended up being a few days late for the party! If it is Rich up in mill creek, I believe that I know how to get there. I have a really good memory still.

Posted by: mstein95 Jun 20 2006, 11:50 AM

Jim - when are you heading up? Caravan?

Is Kevin coming also?

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jun 20 2006, 11:52 AM

not sure about kevin, but if you want to meet up with me in tacoma on the way up, feel free. Just need a time!

Posted by: KELTY360 Jun 20 2006, 11:59 AM

Not sure if my schedule will let me make it, but I need directions and a phone # just in case. Please PM me - thanks.

Posted by: Root_Werks Jun 20 2006, 12:09 PM

Yep, Rich from Mill Creek area. I think you can get to his place by using either the 128th or the 164th ST exits. I just can't remember the cross street to turn on from there. I'd post my cell #, but since I can't remember the way, it wound't do much good. smile.gif

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jun 20 2006, 12:09 PM

How about we all meet up at the Bahama Breeze lot and go from there. I am sure one of us will know how to get there.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jun 20 2006, 12:12 PM

I know the way then. I use to meet up at the Round Table down the street from him with my VW club back in the day, so THAT part of the journey is pretty well set in my head. I still think meeting at a central location would be good and then drive from there since I dont have the address.

Posted by: rjames Jun 20 2006, 01:33 PM

I'm located in North Seattle, so unless you guys are meeting north of downtown, I need an address of a final destination. Just as long as somebody posts something or PM's me before 4:30 with where to meet, I'll be there. Looking forward to putting more faces to names! beer.gif

Posted by: Root_Werks Jun 20 2006, 01:38 PM

Bahama Breeze 15700 Southcenter Parkway, Tukwila 206-241-4448

I'll try to be there around 5PM if I can. Sounds like at least one of us will know the way. smile.gif

Posted by: Rand Jun 20 2006, 02:02 PM

Robert, Rich's place isn't too far from you. I5, 164th towards Mill Creek.... I'll leave it to Rich if he wants his address in the public forum. PM if you like.

I'm not going to drive down to Southcenter, then drive back up to the north end, in nasty traffic. On a weeknight, I'm hoping things get rolling at Rich's before it gets late.

What time at Rich's?????

Is there something going on Saturday then, weather's supposed to be nice for awhile.

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 21 2006, 07:42 AM

My plan is to go out to Rich's to tune the 1911cc motor on Sat. I'll hook up the LM-1 meter and laptop to do it along with a MPS that got the end opened up.


This still on Rich?

Posted by: Root_Werks Jun 21 2006, 09:25 AM

Except I wasn't working on your car. smile.gif

I wound up pulling over agian just after leaving your house. Timing was still pretty far off. But just playing it by ear, I got it within 5 degrees of total advance. I set it when I got home. The car runs MUCH better. Still likes to load up on feul anything under 2000 rpm's. So I think it needs some smaller idle jets. Get above that and it smooths out and just sings. I also did some more carb tunning and smoothed out the idle. It just takes time to set everything with a new engine. Can you believe by the time I got to I-5 I had things set up good enough I could break the tires loose in 2nd gear when I gave it a little "stab" to get on the freeway? Those R compound 275's were sreaming for grip. smile.gif

Posted by: Rand Jun 21 2006, 11:45 AM

I hope to make it Saturday.

That 6 is one amazing car. Wow. Caught a couple photos with my phone while Dan was moving the distributor a tooth to get the timing adjustment range he needed...

bad timing/light , used my light, and turned rehostat, turned it to center was far left . Had to open throttle a hair for it to start though.
Ran sounded good.

Posted by: rhodyguy Jul 2 2006, 12:00 PM

thought the "camarillo" engine was a "newish" 2.0 (gerber?). if it was a 1.7, i don't understand the tear down. it seemed to run quick and you didn't have any problems pulling the grades on the way home.

Disaster averted! rocking nana.gif
Inded something ...let go!
one of the rockershaft retaining nuts & wavey lock washers
decided they werent going to hold the whopping 10lbs of torque! smash.gif
The nut may be wore out from looking at it. Problem is finding another
11mm on a sun. chair.gif
I just went through this drill recently looking for simple tune up parts for the teener and not a single flaps caried all of what I was after.
The nut left some neat little ricotche markes inside the cover & head but didnt seem to cause any real damage.
Ill try to loctite it and if doesnt hold Ill start seaching.
Kev you must of missed a bunch of previous posts cuz we went into some detail.
2.0 came out as its the #'s maching eng. for the LE.

Nah Troy it was just stripped. It would hold but just barely.
For good measure I chk both sides . chair.gif
For any of you you dont have one, go out and get an

Not really. A bunch of us on the north end meet semi regularly on Tuesday nights, or occasional work parties. We've had a hard time getting everyone together with the south end... don't think it will happen on a weeknight because of the distances. Hopefully some weekend. Maybe a Bremerton AX.

The whole story behind how Michelle and I got it was the owner was driving it along and it "stopped going". He got mad, kicked the drivers door shut breaking the glass and slamming the front hood open (to see what was wrong?) cracking the windshield and bending the front hood up. Later on we found out it's nothing more than a stripped rear drum. Car runs pretty dam good.

And as soon as everyone got a good look through the car and a bunch of "Wierd car dude." That pretty much ended the intrest in it. Back to the 914's with us. biggrin.gif

Jeff's (sixnotfour) 914-6. Good times, lots of hanging out BS'n about 914's and the wierd thing in my back yard. screwy.gif

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Aug 2 2006, 08:42 PM

Had lots of fun driving and BS'ing with all you guys. Pretty cool little cabriolet too Dan. And people thought 914's were bastard children!

Another great teener tuesday. It was fun hanging out with the northenders.

Dan, do the cheap fix on that thing and get a major return on your investment! If that thing is driving, somebody might pay some decent bucks for it!

Posted by: Root_Werks Aug 3 2006, 07:29 AM

No, no, no Rand, it's "Troy, go sit in the Rover" biggrin.gif

We drove it around last night. Yup, just a stripped rear drum. Runs out really nice. driving.gif

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Aug 11 2006, 04:21 PM

So I am digging up this thread again. What do you guys want to do this week?


Also, Sometime towards the end of this month I would love to go on a cruise over to Leavenworth for some good ol' German brew. Preferably on a saturday or sunday. Figure if we plan that trip a little early, more of you guys would be able to go. beerchug.gif

Posted by: effutuo101 Aug 11 2006, 04:56 PM

Depends on the weekend. I would love a "spirited" drive to Leavenworth. My wife calls it the facade place, but I might be able to rope her in if I promise to stop by the wine shops and the cheese monger. Next weekend is booked. Son is coming back from Alaska, Uncle is coming up for a wedding...and on and on. OH, and taste of Edmonds this weekend, going away party for a friend of my wifes.....no wonder I am stressed....Time to go driving.gif out the frustrations.

Posted by: messix Aug 11 2006, 05:20 PM

i'm up for any saturday.

should we do carnation again? or any other new places?

Posted by: Rand Aug 11 2006, 05:28 PM

Carnation was great. The first time Kevin mentioned it I wasn't so sure how good it sounded, but it turned out to be a great drive and a cool pub. I'd be up for that again.

Speaking of Kevin, I haven't seen hide nor hair of him in a while. You still here???

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Aug 11 2006, 05:28 PM

Any parks that any one knows of that have BBQ's? Thought maybe that would be something nice to try. I know 5 mile drive out here has a couple spots like that. Just an idea.

Posted by: Rand Aug 11 2006, 05:33 PM

That's a cool idea Jim. We've been doing the park bbq thing quite a bit this summer. Got it down to a science...

Split up some kindling and wrap it in paper. Makes a tidy bundle that you can toss in, soak down with charcoal lighter, and torch off easily. Wrap the brats and shaved onions in tin foil and toss 'em on top. Oh yeah. drunk.gif

Posted by: sixnotfour Aug 11 2006, 07:56 PM

If its in Tacoma do we need firearms?
where's Kevin? maybe he's at the parade.

Hey Rand,

Yes, I am still around here. It has been a busy summer, so I have not made it to the last couple of teener Tuesdays. I will try to make it to the next one, and I am always up for the Carnation run.

And if enough people are interested, I can host a Teener Tuesday at my house which is just 10 minutes from downtown Carnation up on Lake Joy. There is a lake for a view, deck to sit on, a BBQ, and some nice roads for the 914.

Mucho thanks to KevinE for hosting in his amazing lakefront home, and grilling up some killer bacon cheeseburgers with all the trimmings (mmm.... grilled onions rule).

Great to meet Pete Stevers too... and thanks for bringing some premium sausage for the grill!

I keep kicking myself for not having a better camera with me. Unfortunately all I had was the lame cell cam. At any rate, you may still be able to pick out Kevin, Troy, Chris, Robert, Dan & Michelle, Pete, and me....

Yeah, I was focused on Pete in front of me and didn't see Troy peel off from the pack until it was too late. Not a whole lot of places to turn off of the highway after that intersection. It was a beautiful night for a drive though... so I didn't mind putting a few extra miles on the car!


Kevine, your place is stunning (I'm diggin' the color of your 914 too), and thanks for the great food and for hosting it all. beerchug.gif

Troy- the ride out to Kevin's place was a blast. rocking nana.gif I know I haven't pushed my car near to it's cornering limit yet, but I'm having fun getting an idea of what it's capable of.

2.5 stroker vs Steve's 3.0

It was more than cool to see pure 3.0 torque up against 2.5 upper end hp. I think the two cars are very close stop light to stop light. Like I care, it was just a blast to play with another 914-6! driving.gif

Oh yeah, we hit a truck stop on the way to Kevin's.

I just got back in town and won't be able to make this Teener Tuesday. See you next time...

Posted by: rjames Aug 22 2006, 11:23 AM

I won't be able to make it either. Trying to get the outside of the house painted before I leave for Greece for a couple of weeks. But if y'all feel like moving the party to my house I'll supply the paint brushes. (Don't worry, I won't wait up!)




Have fun guys, hopefully I'll make it to the next one! beer.gif

Just got back from Camping so I will try to sneak out for this one. All the way down to South Center......backway here I come.

Posted by: Eddie914 Aug 22 2006, 10:05 PM

I was late!

8:00 pm

Couldn't find a single teener in the lot.

Do Teener Tuesdays last longer than one hour?

Regards

Late Eddie

sorry eddie. it got moved to red robin down the road 'cause bahama was packed with a 2hr wait.

had a nice drive back. sorry eric for pulling a couple of dans'. it's been a while since i've driven down in the "hood" after dark.

Posted by: Eddie914 Aug 23 2006, 07:02 AM

Bahama looked awfully full!

I didn't have any phone numbers to call and check ... my oops.

I drove down Southcenter Parkway and tried to find teeners in restaurant parking lots. I even drove through a few lots like Outback and Azteca. Unfortunately, I did not look close enough at Red Robin.

Next time!

Eddie

Posted by: Bleyseng Aug 23 2006, 07:23 AM

You lost my cell number? WTF.gif

I even made this one...but left at 9PM. Following Dan Root behind the tiltup wharehouse buildings was fun! driving.gif

Got to meet the new guy Eric and his wife and look at the Gold car. Still gotta locate a set of 4 bolt Fuchs!

Good to see all the regulars and even Troy who was way late.

Hey DaveHunt, what kind of oil are you running?? Those pistons did seem to have strange wear....


Posted by: Root_Werks Aug 23 2006, 07:29 AM

I forgot my camera. I saw Eric's wife taking some pictures. Hopefully some will get posted today. Fun stuff!

Troy, Pull a Dan? WTF is that suppose to mean? biggrin.gif av-943.gif

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Aug 23 2006, 08:25 AM

Troy, no worries - I enjoyed every wrong turn. (I love brown interiors, so your car was my favorite one there.)

It was my pleasure to meet all of you - I'm bad with names, but let me see if I can remember:

Kevin (4 of 'em in the garage - and helped me with my headlamp relay issue, thanks!)

Dave (Silver - thanks for letting me use your tools!)

Dan (Blue - my wife liked the robust look of your flared fenders - and was glad she wasn't the only lady there - but I can't remember your wife's name. Michelle, maybe?)

Morgan (Red - your story about getting halfway home when you purchased your car really cracked me up.)

Chris (Old-School Porsche jacket - didn't get to see your car... good to meet you!)

Marc (Blue/Silver - were you the one who mentioned to my wife the deal someone had where they would give their wife a matching cash payment for every dollar they spent on their 914??)

Geoff (I don't think I got to see your car either - or talk to you much... good to meet you, though.)

sportlicherFahrer - I'm having difficulty remembering your name... Jim, I think? I was glad to see a 914 enthusiast under 40 years of age! Good to meet your freind, too.

I might have forgotten one or two. There was a guy with glasses, sitting at the other table, who spoke briefly with Dave about Ford cylinders - sorry, I can't remember your name. Cool 914 hat, if I recall.

------------

Yep, my wife got 2 or 3 good photos, but it will have to wait until this evening before I get them posted here.

Again, thanks to all for welcoming me into the club and including me in my first Puget Sound Teener Tuesday. Taking the "long way" around Southcenter Mall to Red Robin was a blast.

And I think you ALL need to buy rubber bumpers. Waaay too much chrome out there.

Geoff,

I tried the number I've had for years. Greeting didn't sound correct. I left a message anyway.

Sent you a PM.

Thanks

Eddie

Posted by: effutuo101 Aug 23 2006, 09:43 AM

Great to meet you as well! It was sorta strange "rollin with the homies" as I headed out. I saw a 80's buick with 24' rims and low profile tires. That thing had more diff clearance than my Bronco had! See you all again soon.

Posted by: DNHunt Aug 23 2006, 09:47 AM

Nice time last night you guys. I got home about 10 and all the ladies were gone. Turns out they bought like $680 worth of kitchen crap. I found out my wife bought a new set of pots and pans on top of that. The good news is she said I don't have to buy her an anniversary present (Ya, right like I'll fall for that trap). Course the bar is lowered considerably and I can probably get by on some little bobble. Anyway thanks for saving me.

Dave

Posted by: mstein95 Aug 23 2006, 10:22 AM

You know how it works Dave. Come anniversary time if you say "don't you remember those pots and pans" the next thing you know you'lll be sleeping in the dog house.

BTW - thanks for bringing Kevin with you. The sounds and smells of all those 14's will certainly motivate him to getting his off the jack stands.

So what would the ideas be for the upcoming Tuesday? I don't know how the drive was for everyone else, but Jim and I rathered enjoyed our shortened commute from Puyallup/Tacoma. Maybe somewhere in the Seattle area once again? How does Pegasus Pizza on Alki Beach sound? Just tossing out an idea, if anyone has a suggestion of their own please speak up.

John

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Aug 25 2006, 07:06 PM

Pizza at Alki Beach sounds good to me - I'm in! Just let me know date, time and place, and I'll be there. In fact, I can't wait!

For some reason, I cannot post the pic from last Tuesday. I've tried a dozen times - it just won't work.

Posted by: RockinOldSchool Aug 25 2006, 07:09 PM

Well the date would be a given.(this upcoming tuesday) Far as time I figured 7:30 or so.

But we'll see who else chimes in here.


John

Posted by: Bleyseng Aug 25 2006, 07:24 PM

On Alki its either Pizza, Mexican(2 spots) or Dukes (we have done that) or the Alki Bakery but no dinner fixens. Too bad Chris Reale isn't around anymore he could get us a discount!

Posted by: messix Aug 25 2006, 08:28 PM

don't forget spuds fish-n-chips!

I purposely forgot to mention Spuds as its not so good anymore unless you love 30wt on/in your chips/fish. barf.gif

Iffen you want fish/chips I hear the Sunfish down the block is real good.


Parking always sucks on Alki but such is life as the view is good.

Monique and I walk or rollerblade there alot.

Why don't we skip dinner and catch the ferry to Bremmerton and take some of the roads to one of the other ferry's and then back around to Seattle? We can pick up and drop off people on the way around. What do you think?

Troy, learn how to walk more than half a block you sissy. I always just park 1 block off the main drag without any problems. Worse comes to worse we could at least fit a few cars on eddie's lawn (just playin). the oil drops will blend in with everyone elses brown grass. laugh.gif

Wow Just got back from a week in Whistler and it looks like I missed a lot sad.gif
On a positive note that is one F'n great road, I was in the S6 packed w/family and roof full of Bikes and I still had a blast dicing with a couple of characters up and down the mountin thumb3d.gif Was constantly on the look out for (Motor) Bikes as they scream up and down the "Sea to Sky" hwy. at breaknek speed (which if you arnt carefull is exactly what youd get! ohmy.gif )
For anyone who hasnt been up there during the summer it was great!
My son and I did no less than four 10-14K rides out of the 7 days we spent there.
The other days we were Hiking w00t.gif
Perfect Weather and a very athletic atmosphere have really spurred me to amp up my excercise....ongoing.

Welcome back! I am glad family vacation was great. It sounds like a highway that we would like. Maybe a run up north for the weekend to visit our norhtern brothers and a day trip up and down the mountain.

Posted by: effutuo101 Sep 4 2006, 11:18 PM

Depends on the weather. I have to be home early becuase my son starts high school in the early AM on Wednesday. I would be up for a couple of hours of hanging out. burnout.gif

Posted by: RockinOldSchool Sep 4 2006, 11:23 PM

Ah yes. I forgot about the "back to school" thing. I get to enjoy two more weeks before I start fall quarter.

And Chris, I haven't forgotten. I'm going to see if my girl can swing by the bank in the morning. Wasn't sure if tomorrow would work for you or not.

I'm off work at 6; so add commute time from Puyallup onto that and I'm free from there on. Anyone know of any funky and or cool places in Seattle for chowtime.gif ?

John

Posted by: messix Sep 4 2006, 11:37 PM

there is a good burger joint in mukelteo just down the hill from paine field. good parking, and run down to the beech by the ferry dock for sunset pictures, and then run up scenic muk. bvd to everett, to the freeway for home bound.

Posted by: RockinOldSchool Sep 5 2006, 12:58 AM

So the drive home was short. It was good to see Jim and John pull in from the south. John is on his way home chasing Jim (or showing him the way) in his new 914. Good Luck John and welcom to our sickness with your own car! Now for my next project......

Posted by: Root_Werks Sep 6 2006, 08:27 AM

This sucks! I missed someone getting into the "sickness" of owning a 914. biggrin.gif I picked up my son from school yesterday and hung out for his first track session. Man, I kept wanted to toss on my running shoes and join the fun! (Insert running smiley).

Next Tuesday should be back to normal hanging out with the rest of the nuts again. biggrin.gif screwy.gif

Posted by: effutuo101 Sep 6 2006, 09:01 AM

Yep, Jim took the 914 for a test drive and couldn't believe the differance hard mounts make. He came back with a grin from ear to ear. I haven't heard from John on how his drive home went, but it should have been a blast.
I dropped my son off for his first day of high school this morning. Sorta scary that it seems like yesterday he was just entering elementry school. blink.gif

Posted by: Michael J Sep 7 2006, 12:11 AM

I just took my car off the jack stands a week ago with it's 2 liter. Need to do some FI and timing tweeking but it sure runs better than the 1.7. I will sure try to join in next Tuesday. driving.gif

Hi all,

Sorry it took me so long to check in. Been having a blast driving.gif the 914. As a matter of fact this is the first time I've touched my computer in over 30 hours. (Almost a record for me)
Last night I got to show Jim why he wants hard mounts as I started pulling on him on a short red-light green light race in Puyallup. cool.gif

And for me, the sickness has been around for a while. I was just lacking the car. But now I have no excuses. biggrin.gif

So we need to set something up for next Tuesday and hopefully Chris will have picked up his next project by then.

Posted by: Root_Werks Sep 7 2006, 08:14 AM

Yeah Chris, I heard you sold your 914? Whatcha ya gonna get next? That orange one Jeff has? driving.gif

Posted by: mstein95 Sep 7 2006, 09:08 AM

MIKE!! We gotta talk. Didn't realize I had a 914club brother in town clap56.gif (be nice if there was a search function on member locations). Sounds like I'm in the same boat as you - currently with a 1.7 but rebuilding a 2.0.

Not that I can be of any value but let me know if I can help in the "tweeking". I think I have some available time this weekend.

Posted by: effutuo101 Sep 7 2006, 10:22 AM

burnout.gif on Jim! Way cool. I have to say that you are putting down a lot more rubber than he is and that does help on the launch.
I am talking with Jeff about the Orange car. We will talk again after he has the motor in and it is running. So, Tueday might be a Passat night for me.

Not positive yet, but Jim and I will more than likely be going. We'd be leaving from either Puyallup or Tacoma. We don't normally head out till about 6:30 or so though. I should REALLY get a new speedo cable in before then if possible though. It'd be really nice to have a general idea of how fast I'm going. dry.gif


Oh ya, and is this a no minors joint? My girl is 20 and I really wanted to go somewhere where I can bring her along. She deserves it; my teener is my birthday present from her. biggrin.gif

I'm actually not into hauling ass everywhere I go. I was just interested in seeing how mine would compare to Jim's. (One time kinda deal, 2 blocks from a slow roll with the clutch out.) I received more than my fair share of speeding tickets in my Infiniti when I was in highschool and am not in any hurry to receive anymore. (Haven't so much as been pulled over in over 2 years. biggrin.gif ) I know how sensitive these transaxles are and have been keeping that at the front of my mind. I'd much rather just cruise and enjoy myself than bring my drivetrain to an early death. I'll push the car a little; but I'm not going to beat the hell out of it.


And far as Fred's, that'll work for me then. Just wanted to make sure I bring her with.

Hey now, I'm still having plenty of fun with it. And as I said, I'll push it. But that doesn't mean I have to beat the hell out of it. Regardless of some peoples beliefs those two don't have to go hand in hand.

Come out to the PCA AX at Bremerton and play. Its where you can let it all out. You learn how to drive too and be humbled by the experienced guys. biggrin.gif smiley_notworthy.gif

So it's Fred's huh? What time on Tues 9/12? Maybe I can make this one? Eddy

Posted by: messix Sep 9 2006, 02:47 PM

i should be there about 7-7:30, have to go to daughters soccor practice first.

Posted by: mstein95 Sep 11 2006, 01:55 PM

Are the WA ferries teener friendly? I will be over in the Bremerton area on Tuesday and was thinking about taking the ferry instead of driving around.


Mike - good to hear you're running smoothly again. Hope you can join us next time.

Posted by: Barry Johnson Sep 11 2006, 03:22 PM

Hey guys! Geoff referred me to this site and these gatherings you host. Check my sig for my cars. My 914 was a SUPER find...
I'm very active in the 928 community, and partially with the 944 turbo guys, and now just starting with you 914 lot. Its directly relative to the amount of time I've owned the cars wink.gif.

I live off of 196th in Lynnwood, close to the mall, so getting to Fred's is as simple as 524 to Hwy 9, to 2nd. I'll be there tomorrow!!
Look for a 20s guy with long'ish hair possibly in a white 928.

How many will be attending?

Second... This is looking like it's going to be a pretty big meet. (At least compared to last week. LOL)
Hope to see you there.

I believe one of the screws in my 75 heads is coming loose. So if that's all it is I'll most definately be there.

I will be there for tuesday change of schedule. Were is it located this time? Its my first so I would love to go before I have to leave my 914 again.

Posted by: effutuo101 Sep 11 2006, 05:37 PM

Cool! I will be there around 6:30. Looking forward to meeting more teener peeps! I will probably be in the Passat. Rich, are you going to be around?

Same old sh#t. Burning oil like a 2 cycle, Leakdown is 55, 40 50, 58% across the board. Rings, rings, rings. Part of this is one me though. I followed the instructions on the KB website and what was supplied with the pistons. Top ring gap was set .028 and lower oil scraper to .065. Jake says I shouldn't have touched the rings. No instructions from him though and he was in France. So, out it comes again and apart it comes. No sense driving it anymore until it's fixed. Sh#ts getting old. It's getting close to becoming an anchor.

There I feel better now

Take care everybody and have a safe drive home!

Posted by: Barry Johnson Sep 13 2006, 12:50 AM

Hey gang,
Great meeting you all! Seems like a good group of guys who aren't like the 911 bitches. I don't roll with them anyway, I just pass them on the PCA drives wink.gif
You guys seem like the 928 guys though; I think both groups should meet up for a schmooze and cruise sometime. Both groups seem like they'd mesh really well.
Anyway, it was a decent turnout and good to meet some real friendly and kick-back people who love Porsches.
Can't wait to get my little guy on the road!! Trying to turn one of your own into a Shark-lover (928 owner). Bring a new light to your Porsche appreciation wink.gif.

If theres one next week, I'll make sure I bring some horsepower this time. No lame ass Contour.

Posted by: Bleyseng Sep 13 2006, 07:00 AM

That was quite some drive at Sunset up Highway 9 outside of Clearview. Corn fields, fields of mowed hay, lots of cow crap smell, ahh the country. It was pretty and my digital camera had dead batteries! I hadn't been to Snohomish in awhile and its changing fast it seems.

Lots of new faces, Barry and Virgil ( with family in tow), Dan and Michelle, Rand, Chris (a wannabe), Eddie, Kevine, Troy, and the owner of the gold 914. God I am terrible with names...and the barmaid was sweet! (what was her name?)

Barry, let us know how it goes trying to get the engine going on the 914.

Virgil, good to meet you and your just a Raby engine kit away from 170hp!!! Don't Subie it!!! Thats too sweet of a car to convert. PM Lawence (Rusty) he can talk about his experiences in the army with you.
Now we have just got to get you to put of real muffer on the 914. Maybe a Triad or Bursch.....

It was indeed a good time. Man, I love seeing all those 914s together in one place. Beautiful cars, everybody! I got a few good pics... but it will have to wait until tonight for me to post them. Someone snapped a pic of the whole group at the table... that'd be a nice pic to see up!

Looking forward to the next Teener Tuesday!


Posted by: Root_Werks Sep 13 2006, 07:41 AM

Yeah, very good times! beerchug.gif Virgil, you and your Dad have a great 914. There were some new faces and I love that. driving.gif The AleHouse was a great spot to meet and much some good food.

Barry, feel free to bring whatever Porsche you have running. I think you'll find as long as you at least have a 914 on jackstands, your "in". biggrin.gif

Eric, great to see you and your wife made it out to another gathering. That color on your 914 sure grows on a person. Looks great!

Chris, what is the deal with your car? I thought you said you drove your Passat or something? It was parked next to mine last night? Did I miss something?

There was some chat about having an actual driving event maybe on a weekend. I think that is a great idea. driving.gif Sequim was mentioned.

I think Matt was taking pictures last night?

Thanks, Dan!

I am 100% in agreement about a DRIVE. I'll drop practically anything and everything for a long driving train of 914s.

Incidentally... in July, I was seriously trying to sell my 914 - figured I could use the cash for other, more responsible things, or possibly upgrade my commuter car to a Rabbit or GTI. (My current commuter car is a brand-new Chevy Aveo, which is one more service department visit away from qualifying for the lemon law).

A little over 2 months later:

~ I dreamed about 914s last night (I'm not kidding).

~ I spend a good amount of my spare time trying to figure out how to justify getting another one.

~ I admire the shape of my car as it sits under a car cover.

~ My wife and I have had some recent tension about me dropping $350 on new OEM mirrors, not exactly something I had budgeted or planned for...

~ I keep thinking about selling my house and buying one that has a massive garage or barn that I could convert into the full-on rotisserie 914 workshop.

~ I'm consistently web-surfing this site, Pelican, and about a dozen or so other 914-related sites.

"Hello, my name is Eric Hagelin, and I'm a 914-aholic." Good grief. What have I done? I have a 914 problem. I blame 914world.com.

Hi Dan, My old car was parked next to you last night. John and Lindsey (sp) the new owners showed up late with Jim and Sabrina.
My son now thinks that he needs a car to learn how to drive and autox.Gonna have to keep my eyes open for something as he is growing up way to fast.
So, since I have achieved wannabe status I think that my next trick will to bring my wifes saturn and go race it... biggrin.gif

That's it - they didn't turn out as good as I had hoped, and I had about 6 more, but the setting on the camera was for mega-pixel, and they won't load onto the forum.

We need a good, well-lit, staged line-up of cars next time! And speaking of the next time...

I'm going to have to pass this week boys. Have to spend as much time as I can with Lindsey before she moves Friday, and i'll be in Bellingham all weekend.

Not to mention I'm going to be tight on cash soon thanks to work cutting all my hours due to the fact that they want me to live, eat, sleep and breathe walmart and they find limited availability, due to yours truly attending college, unacceptable.

Some REALLY good island type music(Jimmy Buffet sound) LIVE startin at 7pm. I will be showin up around 5 or so with my family. Really nice place to eat/bs. It will be a little crowded due to the artist(Eric Stone) that is playing, so I suggest gettin there a little early for a good table. Whos up for it???

I'm driving the 914 to work Tuesday driving.gif so it would be great to head up north. The Tides would be a good place. I can drive back around Highway 3 and make a good circut.

Morgan, Hey it would be good to meet you if you go. Let me know when you might head north. We might fight the nasty I-5 together.

I drove the teener up to Seattle on Sat and was cruising Capital Hill with my daughter and passed another 914 headed south on 15th. He never even looked up. Don't know who it was.

Posted by: RockinOldSchool Sep 26 2006, 12:37 AM

Something on the south end would be fantastic. I'm down for Tides or something in Tacoma. I just got back from Bellingham. Helped the girlfriend and sister move into their dorms at Western. And I'll be going back to visit on Friday. I'm getting plenty of driving.gif in so a shorter commute to the meeting would be fantastic.

I have been waylayed by the executive at home. She had made plans for us tonight, so again, count me out.

Will peer pressure help?


BTW - does anyone have a spare head light switch (74-76 model) that they can bring to the party? The dash light portion (dimmer) of my switch is bad.

Nope, Tides is still a tavern. No minors. Is that a problem kevin? Far as I know we don't have any minor members anymore from the sound area. (Jim's done all grown up) LMAO.

I'll see you guys this evening.

Since I seem to be the first one up This fine Tuesday morning, I'm going to make an executive decision. http://www.tidestavern.com/ around 6:30 for a pint and some grub. you Oly folks can go home 302 . Wonderful road around North Bay. See you folks this eve.

Dave


That sounds like a great place. Unfortunately I've got a 5:30 meeting in Renton. Unless I get the teener fitted with wings there's no way I can make it. We need to meet in a parallel universe where there's no gridlock. Enjoy.

Did you guys have fun? Pictures please! I am still at work, so maybe next week

Posted by: Michael J Sep 27 2006, 07:49 AM

Good food, brew and conversation. beerchug.gif And of course driving the 914 wasn't bad either. We had a small group that appeared to be cameraless, so no pics. This was the first time in a while that I had attended. I enjoy the discussions and advice. I drove back to Oly through Purdy, Allyn and Shelton. Didn't see any deer until I was 1/4 mile from my house. Those things scare the crap out of me! Anything you have to look up to from the seat would not be good if you hit it.
Anyway, it was great to put a face with Morgan who lives just down the road. Just let me know when you need some monkey wrench help.
Hope to get a few more nice Tuesday evenings before the rain settles in.

I'm scared -
After an ice cold pint of Mack & Jack amber, a bacon cheeseburger and a whiff of Kevin and Dave's Mahi Mahi fish and chips, Dave, Mike and Kevin almost had me talked into a Raby 2.6 engine upgrade!!! w00t.gif

I don't think I'm going to hang out with them anymore - they're Trouble (did ya catch the capital "T" - Music Man reference). Double trouble when you throw in John and Jim (and Sabrina). calvin.gif

Mike - pleasure to finally meet ya - look forward to future treks. You're a brave man taking "the back way" in the dark. Glad to hear you didn't end up with a deer in the passenger's seat. blink.gif

Anything going on this Sunday??? driving.gif


Posted by: rjames Sep 27 2006, 06:57 PM

Sorry I missed it, whether was perfect too.

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend any more meet-ups for a while. I'm back in school full time, and working full time at night. I'm gonna miss those awesome drives led by Troy. beer.gif

Of course I'm also going to miss sleeping... ack.

so i'll make it in snohomish at the buzz inn at harvey airfield. i'm coaching my daughters soccer teem and tues. is pratice day so this is the only way i'll make it.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Sep 28 2006, 06:54 PM

So Im kinda thinking that us south sound guys could maybe meet up down here in Tacoma/Oly/Gig Harbor. We have quite a few places here in Tacoma that have good stuff on tap, and even better food. The Rock, The Swiss, and The Harmon just to name a few. Also, within a walk from my boat is The Dock St. Landing that a few of us went to back in June. They have some GOOD $3 cheeseburgers on Tuesdays along with live music and pool tables. Not to mention the water front scenery.

We must've crossed pathes on the freeway today. I left for Bellingham this afternoon to spend the weekend with my sister and girlfriend. Sorry to hear about the burned up wire, but at least it's just something minor.

Good luck today. I am going to get some more sleep. I have slept about 18 hours all week, so I have some catch up to do. About the same amount of sleep last week. A couple of very rough weeks at work. I hope to see you all tuesday.

Hey! What a long strange trip it's been!

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Sep 30 2006, 06:45 PM

I won't be making it (unless I have major success with electrical clean-up and don't need to buy any new parts). Towed Pamela home this afternoon. All the way from the U District to Lake Stevens, with a strap, behind my Suburban. I got pics.

I plan on digging into it tomorrow. Electrical stuff I'll check first, then the fuel system.

By the way, I was doing some on-line pricing and noticed that Schucks was cheaper than Pelican for a fuel pump... but Pelican's is Bosch, Schucks is some off-brand ("Master", I think) - is there a difference? If (keeping my fingers crossed that I won't need to) I need to replace the pump, should I spend $30 extra for the Bosch?


Posted by: Bleyseng Sep 30 2006, 06:47 PM

Now John you just have to make one of these Teener Tuesdays..

pretty sure we are going on Tuesday.

Posted by: 521401 Oct 1 2006, 12:08 AM

Wow, there is a group of people in NW WA. My 914 currently needs an engine, but when it runs again I will have to get in on this Teener Tuesday thing. I could bring one of my Twentysomething's, but they like cool water and upright cylinders. Not sure if they'll get along with those air blowers. I feel tension as they all sit in the driveway viewing each other with contempt. Or I am crazy. I'll have to stay in touch with you guys.

Posted by: messix Oct 1 2006, 02:03 AM

your teener doesn't have to attend. just come on and join up with us. it's a good way to get motivated to get to work!

Posted by: Bleyseng Oct 1 2006, 08:25 AM

Yeah but if you attend you have to atleast bring a pic of your car and a couple of stories.
We won't kick your ass if you show up in a water pumper.

Posted by: DNHunt Oct 1 2006, 09:09 AM

Evidence of it being up on jackstands is acceptable for admission. You probably won't even be questioned about that cause they all seem to want spend most of there time there.

The Swiss sounds good. IIRC - parking was limited.
Either way I don't think I can make it tomorrow - closing the month end books this week at work.

I'll have to live vicariously through pictures of the meet-ups for awhile, so someone take some photos!

BTW, where can one buy an Optima battery in Seattle?


Oh yeah, one more thing- for those that haven't replaced their clutch cable in a while, make sure you're carying around a spare! Just about to pull onto the on-ramp for the freeway and went to engage the clutch to shift and the pedal went right to the floor. Would have been an easy fix if only I had been carrying a spare cable!

I've been running Puyallup to Bellingham to Glacier and back every weekend and that's proved to be more than enough driving for me.

Honestly with a passenger or another car along I'll drive till I'm on E with not so much as a penny to my name. But 5 hours alone sucks. I'm a big time people person.

Get a six instead? LOL Serious tho, from what I heard last night Dan has a smoking deal on a 2 liter 6 conversion. Less than half the cost of a Raby engine.

If you're set on a Raby tho talk to Dave Hunt (DNHunt) he lives in Gig Harbor and typically makes the south end meets. He should be able to give you a list of dos and don'ts as well as some advice for your choice.

Posted by: Bleyseng Oct 4 2006, 10:50 AM

Raby kits are the best deal going IMHO for a kit you build.

Complete engine-McMark's 2056cc is a steal-125hp requires dual carbs or modern EFI

Jakes 2056 kit is approx $3500-can use djet

2270 is 'bout $5500 for now 170hp- modern EFI

so consider a stock 2.0L is 95hp at best any jump is good.

Dan's deal is ok for a six.

$3500 for a 130hp 2.2 plus you do have still a ton of work and $$$ to install it.

If you want 170hp a 2270 is a good deal but you still have to buy headers, probably a oil cooler etc....but you'll have a quality new engine.

1st off, thanks for the compliment.

2nd, I would stay with a Porsche powerplant if it weren't for the cost of pulling the kind of power I'm looking for with daily driver reliability and minimal maintainance. I'm looking at 300hp 300ft/lbs.

I have driven a 260hp 3.2L 914 and it was scary fast. Why do you need that much HP?

I can see the "I need a newer powerplant", but I don't buy the 300/300 I have to have for a DD.

My son, Blair had a 300hp Turbo2 RX7, and what a beast with that much power.


Who are you going to race on the clogged freeways around here? The average speed seems like 20 mph.

Posted by: Root_Werks Oct 5 2006, 08:19 PM

Good times! Michelle and I had a great time and love seeing all the old and new faces. Teener Tuesdays will live through the winter! boldblue.gif

Yup, Michelle and I have our 914 down without seats until we can pick up the new ones from CAMP914. driving.gif

I still think we should do a drive to Leavenworth on a weekend. Anyone check the forcast for say this Saturday?

I will be in Seattle all day so this works great for me. thumb3d.gif I'll just have to take the 914 to work - Bummer.

Just make sure you guys post some pics- full time school & full time work is going to keep me out of the meet-ups for awhile! I'll be lucky if I find the time to remove and replace the broken clutch cable this weekend. mad.gif

Although I probably won't be able to make it anytime soon, I vote for a drive to Leavenworth some time. Or a group trip to Camp914 to drool over Craig's merchandise. biggrin.gif

The 914 is only my daily driver for the time being. Until I work out the transmission issue with my Infiniti. Then the 914 will be a weekend warrior/sunny day driver of sorts. So by the time it'll have 300/300 it won't be my daily. It'll be more for track by then.

And why do I need it? Because it can be done and be incredibly reliable with almost no required maintainence. More fun, less work.

And who said anything about freeways? Let alone clogged ones. I'm assuming you're referring to the King County area. Freeways down here and up around Bellingham (my weekend residence) are normally pretty open, at least at the times I drive them.

Also I'm looking at doing the STi swap. So it's not as if I'm buying an engine and then modding the hell out of it to pull those numbers. I'm just buying a stock, readily available, late model, reliable engine for a decent price.

If I don't do the STi, it'll receive a JDM WRX engine ($3,500 with 28,000 miles) which is still a 283hp 2 liter. I just can't beat the reliability and numbers for that kind of price.


Back on topic, I'm not going to be able to make it this week. I have some family in from Tennessee and am spending Monday through Wednesday with them.

Maybe next week.

Possibly. I might have to run up to the Seattle meet to borrow Geoff's D-jet tester. So if that's the case, the southern deal won't work for me. But if someone down this way has a spare ecu i can bum I'll be cool with staying in the south end.

Geoff, any chance you'd be willing to partake in a South end meet? Was wondering if I might be able to have you set my A/F ratio for me and help me check/set my fuel pressure. You'd mentioned you have the Janbo unit and Jim thought you have a fuel pressure tester.
The help would be greatly appreciated.


I won't be able to run south as I have burnt up all my "meet" chips.....gotta go to Zachs Boy Scout meetings sometimes too on Tuesdays.

YOur AFR should be set correctly if all the correct stock parts are installed...

review your part numbers for MPS, ECU, CHT

Janbo is at Aker's as he is using it on a 914 to sort out a FI problem....should be free next week. Sounds like a ground problem to me when I talked to him.

For those from the South end, well anyone that's interested actually, Jim and I will be meeting up at The Dock Street Landing Bar & Grill in Tacoma tomorrow evening at about 7pm. We can make it a South end meeting for anyone that's interested.

Mapquest.com has good directions.

IRDC Lapping Day at Bremerton Raceway next Saturday 10/28/06.

Great bargain and I know most Teener owners are into bargains - $60! All you need is a helmet and a valid drivers license. A 914 wouldn't hurt either.

Hope to see you there. We can always finish up at the Tides in Gig Harbor afterwards.

I rode along with Jim on his first session.

The weather was a little messy ... damp track and a bit foggy.

He picked it up pretty quickly. By the end of the session he was doing quite nicely. By the middle of the day when the track dried out, he was having a great time.

Three teeners was a nice turnout. Hopefully more will will show up at future events. IRDC usually has two or three lapping days every year.

He's already got a line on an incredible deal for the 3.2. I don't think anyone could convince him to stay with a four. LoL. ....Although... he had originally wanted a big four.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Oct 30 2006, 02:00 PM

Yeah, I dont think that I would be satisfied with a big 4 anymore. I've had a ride in a big 4 car, and its far from how the 3.2 pulls and sounds. That, and I would rather have the reliability of the stock FI 3.2 than a strung out 4, not to mention the HP numbers vs. $$$ spent are quite a bit more attractive for the 6.

Posted by: Bleyseng Oct 30 2006, 05:25 PM

Yeah, I've driven a high HP 3.2L setup by Fordahl and its way fast. Nearly as fast as the money flying outta you bank account to setup....mega$$$

Ya can build a hipo 4 yourself witha Raby kit, not so a 3.2.

i wanna ditch the trick or treaters tomorrow night. who's up for a meet?

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Oct 30 2006, 07:58 PM

Well, if you put a manual, tools necessary, and the parts in front of me I am sure that I could build that 3.2 with no problem as well as that 4. I just wouldnt trust myself doin that kinda work with the money spent. As far as Fordahl building a car, that would be VERY expensive. My 3.2 setup will be considerably cheaper than thiers, and will probalby be as much or less than a big 4 setup with a lot more power than a big 4(roughly 200+ at the tires). I will also have little to no tuning required, as it will be stock FI. No megasquirt to build and no jets to size. Just nice, reliable, daily driver 200 HP without a problem.



As far as Tuesday goes, Im kinda short this week Troy, but maybe next week. The $80 that I spent this weekend at the track was a big hit from the wallet, but well worth it!

Posted by: Eddie914 Oct 30 2006, 11:24 PM

Need to source some more heater parts. Still not warm enough.

Posted by: Bleyseng Oct 31 2006, 07:35 AM

If you can source a good 3.2L complete for under $5000 you are damn lucky. I have been looking for 3 years on and off again in the Seattle area. Good ones are snapped up by the local 911 guys to swap in for their tired 2.7 or 3.0L.
To do it right the parts alone to do the conversion will cost nearly $5000, oil tank, oil lines, flywheel, tin, bellcrank, heat exchangers, engine mount etc. Its a drop in only after you modify everything to work. dry.gif
I know I am not up to doing the engine work on a six but I'd like to try one day soon.

I started looking more and more at Raby stuff when he hit 170hp outta a 2270. Now he is in the 200hp range with a 2270 and when he get the roller lifters working its gonna be in the 220hp reliable range plus weighting 150lbs less than a six.

I can't meet this Tuesady so count me out.

Michelle and I have been out for a little while. My new job has me working days/nights/days/nights. F'd up, but tons of fun. Plus, some "buddies" of mine wanted to see my 914 in action in a parking lot. driving.gif Yup, after getting some new halves for my front rims, I am back on the road. headbang.gif Dam curbs. biggrin.gif One nice thing about the 3 piece rims is I changed the offset on my fronts and removed the wheel spacers. Put my scrub radious back to normal. Feels better again. driving.gif

No more dognuts in parking lots for me. happy11.gif

Cool! Glad to see more and more people getting back on the road.

HEY!!! look who it is! LoL

Hey Chris this is John. Was actually just talking about you. Last few times i've been up in B-ham I've seen your baja over at the coast guard station. I'm done with my teener for a while after having to tow it home from Seattle tonight. It just needs to much work to be used as a daily driver right now. Too many things I need to inspect to avoid being stranded again. Made it through the last two months pretty well though.

I've been spending my weekends up in the Bellingham/Glacier area and should be moving up there around mid December. I'll most definately be down to hang out then. For the time being that's just a bit out of my range for a tuesday night though.


Posted by: T wing Nov 7 2006, 01:40 PM

Sorry to hear about your 914 John. I actually got my bug as a backup so I wouldn't have to worry so much about using the teener for a daily driver.

I just looked at my work schedule and realized that I don't really have a Tuesday free for a while. It'd be nice to meet some of the guys up here though.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Nov 24 2006, 07:03 PM

So thats 2 including me! Anyone else? It may be cold and wet, but I still drive the teener every day.

I had a blast driving in the snow. . . I'd have to subie swap and run skinny tires to be able to have that much fun on dry pavement, and then I'd break more transmissions. Just went up to baker with the teener on Thursday too. I think I need a board rack for it so I can take someone with me though.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Dec 10 2006, 02:52 AM

I finally got around to takin the springs off the rear trunk on my car. Now the hinges just need to be welded back into place. So right now it closes and looks normal, but I have to hold it up to put the top in. I AM crazy enough to drive in this cold weather with the top off. Got in about 3 hours today! I think the parents have a camp914 trunk shock kit on the way to take care of the trunk though. wreath.gif

It was great. I ran over to John's(RockinOldSchool) and told him I cut my springs. The look on his face was priceless. chairfall.gif

Sorry to hear about all the strife on the board. This appears to be where the Puget Sound area people are hanging out, so I guess I'll remain here.

First, Merry Christmas, everyone!

Second, my 914 has been having intermittent problems (I think it is fuel injection system-related, but am not sure), so she's not on the road at the moment.

I am hoping to spend some quality time in the cover-alls with tools & manuals before the new year... and then meet up with some of you again on a Tuesday once she's up and running again.

Hey there.

Another local teener.
Root Werks,
I am gathering up the parts to make set of custom 3 pc wheels, do you happen to know where your wheel halves came from? Did you build them yourself? Not all 16" wheel halves are created equal so any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have only met some of you guys once at a teener tuesday on Mercer Island and have been in Hibernation since. Hopefully I can make some more outings soon.

Later,
Kyle

PS. I bought a used 2.0L to build...now the fun begins on deciding what I want to build.

How about a work party to fix my broken control arm?

IPB Image

The doctors keep calling it a fibula ... but in gearhead lingo wouldn't it be considered a control arm(leg?).

I broke it while skiing with my 15 year old son on Thursday. Surgery is scheduled for next Thursday. You can all come over and sign my new cast!

Looks like I won't be driving the Teener(or anything else with a clutch pedal) for a while.

Eddie

Posted by: DNHunt Dec 30 2006, 07:55 AM

Ah Eddie that's really bad luck. I broke the strut next to the control arm 1 time. 2 screws and a couple of months and I was good as new. The only thing is I have a dimple in my shin.

I'm no expert but I if I remember right That a pretty good place to break it . Plenty of bone to work with and it doesn't involve the articular surface.

Good Luck

Dave

LOL. Speaking of Korijo... ANYONE heard from Dave or Kori???? I'm a bit concerned since he's been off the radar a while and I'm not sure how degenerative his condition is.

I think it would be super cool if we could connect with the bro and go do a work party or something!!!

I think it's about time he feels some support and good wishes from his 914 buddies!!

Anyone know anything???

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Dec 31 2006, 06:32 PM

Okay, instead of sending a bunch of private messages, I'll just give everyone my phone number right here, and if you can make it, please call me and I'll send you the address. 206-793-6518

The work party will be Sunday, January 7th at 1:30pm, in Woodinville. I've never hosted one (or attended one) - so I don't know what I'm doing, but I know how to bbq, and I'll bring my tools and parts and maybe some 914 guru will be able to get my car running!?

Thanks again, everyone.

Posted by: DNHunt Dec 31 2006, 06:45 PM

I think there is only 1 rule for hosting. Don't serve reconstituted steak from Costco. You'll get a ration of sh%t. I hosted a party and served those a couple of years ago and I still haven't lived it down. I may make my way up if I get the Xmas decorations down.

What are we trying to fix? I've hung around the boards long enough to have all of the answers. The problem is matching them to the right questions.

Dave

Posted by: Michael J Dec 31 2006, 07:32 PM

I would love to come and join the wrenching or watching or eating. I am hoping to get my new sail vinyl on this week so might be able to drive the 914 - if the weather is not nasty. I'll check in later in the week.
jsharp.gif

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Dec 31 2006, 11:09 PM

Well, my car has been having an intermittent problem where the RPMs drop off to zero and the car dies.

I'd try to start it, and the engine would turn over and rev up for a second, but then die off again.

At first, if I tried to crank it over, if I was fast enough (had to have the engine compartment open first), I could hop out right after turning the key and yank on the throttle valve to keep the RPMs up, it would stay idling and drive okay (for a while).

Usually, after repeated starts and attempts, I could get the thing on the road again.

Back in October, it died and I couldn't get the thing started again at all. It seemed like a fuel delivery problem to me, but I'm no expert. It's an L-Jet 1.8 (1975). I pulled out the fuel pump - the connections were very corroded, so I cleaned them up and crimped new terminals on them. I ohm'd out the intake air sensor, and got the correct readings (per Haynes). I replaced the fuel filter. I removed the fuel relay plate - it was totally corroded and looked terribly neglected (which made me happy, 'cause I figured that was the culprit). I took off all connections and cleaned/wire brushed everything. I made sure all the relays were working (I swapped 'em out with the headlamp relays 'cause I knew they were working okay) and swapped out the governor with a newer one I had in my parts box.

After I cleaned it all up and reconnected it, it started up and ran pretty smooth for about 20 minutes, and then the same problem occured.

I let it sit for 2 or 3 weeks, maybe longer... there was a lot of heavy rain, and then we had the intense cold snap... and I don't have a garage.

I tried starting it, just for kicks, (during the cold snap) and the thing fired right up! I let it run (and defrost and heat up) for a while, and it ran great for several days.

Then... same thing.

And that's where I'm at. Part of the problem is that I don't always know what I'm looking at under the hood - I'm a rookie. I have downloaded every possible manual and article known to man, and someone from the forum sent me a CDR of all the factory manuals... but I need wiser, more experienced minds and hands to get under the hood.

Posted by: Solo914 Jan 1 2007, 12:20 PM

Hey!
I have a 74 1.8L and I know that problem. I had it happen to me in Woodinville last summer. After cleaning connectors, swapping relays etc. I ended up replacing the dual relay that is specific to the fuel pump, it is not like the other relays and Its not a cheap relay either. To test it, just jump a wire from the hot pin(pin that has power) to the pin that makes the fuel pump run(you will hear it run). Then start the car. If it stays running then it was the relay.
I live in Woodinville and I think I will be able to swing by the work party for a bit next week. If I can make it we can just swap my new relay into your car or if anyone else has a stock 1.8L they can do the swap as well.

Hope the helps.
Kyle

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jan 1 2007, 12:29 PM

Eric - It still looks like I will be able to make it up there. I figure I may be of pretty good help, as I went through my whole L-Jet system on my '75 in '05 before it wrecked. Hopefully Troy will chime in, as he has a 1.8 as well.

Eddy - Hope that leg isn't too bad! If you want someone to put some miles on the car, you know where to find me... biggrin.gif

As to everyone else - Happy new year! beerchug.gif If anyone needs any help with just about anything(not necessarily teener related) let me know!

Posted by: Michael J Jan 1 2007, 02:46 PM

Eric,
My car has a D-jet so there may not be much similarity but I had the same problem last fall. Sometimes it would start - run for 30 seconds- and die. Sometimes it would start - run for 10 minutes - and die. confused24.gif After doing a lot of what you did I finally swapped out the fuel pump relay and it seems to be fine. Started and drove it yesterday for a warm up and it ran great. Good luck, those little gremlins are tough to run down.

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Jan 6 2007, 09:58 PM

Kevin - I installed a new fuel filter in October (when I was trying to troubleshoot the issue back then).

DIRECTIONS:

Take 405 (N or S, depending on you're point of departure) and then take the exit for 522E. The immediate first exit off of 522E is for Woodinville - don't take that one. Take the 2nd exit. The 2nd exit is for Duvall, and the road that the exit merges onto is actually the Woodinville-Duvall road. Stay on that road. Go through the first light (which is Hwy 9) and go up the hill. After a couple of immediate curves, you will keep going uphill and come to another light... go straight and continue uphill.

You'll come to another light, with an Arco and another gas station (Shell?) on your left. The road will turn from a 2-laner to a single lane right after that light (so keep going straight). The NEXT light (I don't know the street name) you will take a Left at. There is an espresso stand called Mack's Corner at that intersection. Stay on that road until you come to a stop sign and a 'T' at the end. Turn right.

About 30-50 yards ahead of you, there will be a Left turn onto a dead end, which is 170th Pl. That's the one, turn left onto 170th Pl. Almost at the very end of the street, on the left, you will come to a black mailbox that says "Hagelin" and "20221" - go up that driveway, and stay to the left (it forks off to the right, but that's not the house). Address is 20221 NE 10th Pl., Woodinville, WA 98072

You should see my 914 up there somewhere, and you can park anywhere that there is clear pavement, or in the grass. I'll either be manning the bbq or admiring my 914, or probably both.

Thank you again for your help, everyone! My cell phone number is 206-793-6518 but I just got a new Corgi puppy and he chewed through my charger cord, and my batteries are almost dead. Figures.

but i think hes telling you guys to take wooinville duvall rd east to 168 av ne left or north to ne 195 st, to 170 ave ne.

if you can get past all the down trees!

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jan 7 2007, 02:53 AM

Well Chris, ya have at least one taker for the brats! I still plan on being there. It will be good to see some of you guys again. It has been a long time.

Posted by: DNHunt Jan 7 2007, 06:48 AM

Can't make it guys. Sick with the flu. Maybe next time.

Dave

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Jan 7 2007, 09:18 AM

If the address isn't working in Mapquest, it's because I put the "NE" in the wrong spot.

edited to add: Oh brother, I see that I left the "7" out of the address in my post above. It's not 10th Pl, it's 170th Pl.

It's either:

20221 NE 170th Pl

or:

20221 170th Pl NE

(I don't know where the "NE" goes.)

**************************

But..........

I woke up this morning to a pretty steady rain. If it continues, should we do it another day? What's the consensus?

Posted by: quadracerx Jan 7 2007, 10:45 AM

It is absolutely pooring here in Puyallup....Like we should start calling for Noah....LOL

The water is three feet from my back door!

Are we working on your car outside? IF so...then yes another day would be appropriate...LOL

Let me know...if we are still on....ill leave Puyallup at around noon....

Thanks...

Steve

Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 7 2007, 10:55 AM

steve, are you still planning a carb troubleshoot/work day? if so, you might consider starting a thread of it's own. the date will get lost in the *teener tuesday* thread. yep, it's raining like crazy. i'm on the high ground so no worries.

k

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Jan 7 2007, 11:20 AM

Yes, we would be working on it outdoors.

So... the list I have for people showing up is:

Chris - Yes
Morgan - Maybe
Sportlicher (James? I can't remember your name, sorry...) - Yes
Rand - Yes
Mike - Maybe
Kyle - Maybe
Steve - Yes

**************

If everyone who has committed a 'yes' or a 'maybe' is okay with rescheduling for another date, that is certainly OK with me. I just would hate to reschedule it, and then have someone NOT check the forum and drive 40 miles for nothing.

So if you are planning on coming, or were thinking about it, and would rather reschedule due to the rain, please chime in.

(It is also possible that the rain will let up. I live in Lake Stevens, and it is down to a light sprinkle.... and I'm terribly excited about the thought of my car running again...)

Posted by: quadracerx Jan 7 2007, 11:34 AM

Hi...

God I hate to sound like a wimp....lol..but I am coming down with a cold, so working outside is not so good....

If you plan on resheduling...Im in....but today cause of the weather...and my cold...i guess Im out...

Sorry....

Steve

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Jan 7 2007, 11:40 AM

That's okay, Steve - no worries.

Anyone else out there (who was planning on coming) feel strongly, one way or the other?

Chris?
Sportlicher?
Rand?

(Everyone else was a "maybe", but you three all are/were "yes" on the work party.)




Posted by: mstein95 Jan 7 2007, 11:41 AM

I'm OK with a reschedule (prefer it due to weather).


Posted by: Rand Jan 7 2007, 12:01 PM

Bunch of weenies. tongue.gif I was planning on showing. I don't melt in this weather. I'll be damned if I let it stop me from doing what I want. Actually, it's only windy, not rainy here right now.

Seriously though, no big to me either way. I'll check back here for the official status report around 12:30.

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Jan 7 2007, 12:16 PM

OK, one positive 'yes' (even in a little rain) is good enough for me. Thanks, Rand. I will be there. If no one else can make it due to weather, etc., that's okay.

It's on - I will not be there 'til 1:00pm, though. I'll bring some sausages and rolls (in case Chris doesn't make it), and hot coffee will be brewing.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jan 7 2007, 02:21 PM

Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 8 2007, 10:47 AM

did you guys get the car to run?

k

Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 8 2007, 11:27 AM

I had to leave about 4, and it wasn't running when I left. This is a wierd one. the car was running when I showed up. Rand and Eric had used the relay from the headlights for the fuel pump relay and the car was idling nice. But after about 5 minutes, it shut off. It would then run intermittently for a few seconds and then shut off. You could smell varnish, but no gas. Jim found a wire that was burned up (connector fell off in his hand) and fixed that. The strange thing is that when the relay was put back into the headlight, the lights wouldn't pop up. we tried several relay's to the same result. If you hold the relay, you can feel it click, but then nothing. Any clues?

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Jan 8 2007, 11:28 AM

Thanks to all who showed up to help on my car - I really appreciate it.

No, Kevin, the car is still inop - but Rand and Chris got to witness the strange intermittent problem I'm having! She started up and ran/idled very smooth for about 15 minutes, and then completely, immediately cut-out without warning.

We checked a number of different components (fuel pump, injectors, relays, intake air sensor stator flap movement & ohm readings, etc.) and the gremlin is a little hard to pin down.

Jim pulled my ignition coil and dropped his in there, to see if that was the culprit, but my coil is fine... however, during that process, he found that the wiring from the ignition coil through the harness to the relay plate was seriously degraded. The terminal broke off in his hand while removing it from the coil!

I'm going to replace the wiring, and clean up all my grounds. If it doesn't run after that, then I'm at a loss on what to do next. Maybe Troy would have some ideas? (You've got an L-jet, right, Troy?)

Thanks again, guys. Time is precious, and you guys took some to help a brother out.

Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 8 2007, 11:28 AM

I think we need to get Troy's car sitting next to it and go wire by wire. the PO had some interesting wiring choices.

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Jan 8 2007, 11:44 AM

I had swapped out relays for the fuel pump before yesterday, by the way. I don't think that's what got the car to start and run/idle the way it did - because it will start and run fine (sometimes for days) - and then just cut-out mysteriously.

What WAS strange, was that I pulled the headlight relay (Rand witnessed my working headlamps) out and put it in the fuel pump relay.

I had several spare relays, and we put them in the headlamp slot, but the headlamp motors wouldn't lift. The lights came on, but no action on the motors. I thought maybe the relays were no good (we tried a few), and Rand pulled one from his headlamps, but it didn't work either. Weird, the headlamp motors were working fine ten minutes before!

Got to be some cheesy wiring in there somewhere?!

Damn thing sure looks good, though - even when she's sitting still and inoperative! I love that tempermental bitch!

Posted by: Tom Jan 10 2007, 01:24 PM

Eric,
I had a similar relay problem for the relay that operates the power to the blower, horn , and in my case the radio. Put relay in aftre checking that it was good. Worked one day , then stopped working. Finally found out that the female plug that the relay goes into was not soo good. Here is what I did to overcome the bad connection. Pull the relay and use a small wire brush to clean the socket as good as you can , take the relay prongs and try to slightly bend them apart ( spreading them wider, and wire brush them also. Did this to all of my relays and now - no more intermittent power problems.
Hope this helps.
Tom

Seems we don't meet as regularly during targa season. Damn, I miss driving topless.


Posted by: Eddie914 Jan 24 2007, 12:52 PM

I but a beer in my pocket and hobbled out to the carport on my crutches and stared longingly at my tools and parts that need to get installed on the 914/6 ... fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regualtor, switch panel, bigger brakes, etc.

I thought of all the jobs I could get done if I didn't have to hold crutches in my hands (it even makes drinking a refreshment challenging ... I was thinking of attaching a gimballed drink holder to my crutches).

OT: I'm getting pretty good at shifting without a clutch. I use my right foot to engage the clutch from a stop and then shift by matching engine speed ... just like the old days with non-synchro transmissions.

I might be able to make some sort of gathering in a couple of weeks after I get a walking cast.

Later

Eddie

Targa season....I like that. Been loving the sun the last couple of days. Back to using the teener as a DD. Twice in the last two days I've had people look at my scruffy, needs-a-paint job ride and say, "nice car, I love those".

I'm in for a get together soon.

Posted by: Eric Hagelin Jan 25 2007, 10:54 PM

Update: I worked on her for hours today - replaced that crappy wiring from the ignition coil back through the wiring harness, cleaned up every ground I could find, replaced several bits of other corroded wire connectors and old runs of wire...

...and she's RUNNING smooth again. My headlamp motors still won't operate (even though the lamps themselves are on) - and now the latest quirk: the tach doesn't work. But tomorrow I am going to bring her home from my brother's driveway, and then work on her some more... I need to get those headlamps working properly again, and get the tach problem figured out... then, MAYBE IF IT QUITS RAINING, I can get her fully dried out and back in action.

I am, actually, anticipating selling her this Spring (and after she's back in proper running order, of course). Half of me doesn't want to, but the other half - the half that has to figure out how to pay all the bills, and home repairs, etc. - thinks it might be better to wait a few years, get debt-free, build a garage, and then save up for another one.

I definitely want to get together for a few good Teener Tuesdays before that, though!

Happy to hear it's running again. Sorry to hear you're thinking about selling her. The tach issue is probably just a loose wire. Far as the headlights... Anyone else care to chime in here?

just reminding yoos guys

maybe we should have a saturday night get together

Posted by: DNHunt Feb 21 2007, 08:56 AM

I'm getting ready to light of the 4 hole sh*t can again. Given all my previous luck with this thing it could have the potential to be entertaining. Having some buds to cellebrate with or shoulders to cry on could be a good thing. I'm still fabbing the heating system and I need to fit the exhaust, clean up, and install so probably the middle of March. I'll see if I can get Betsy to to get some Costco fake steak for Geoff and we'll do a barbi and down some suds.

I still need to run this by the boss and she is in Mexico so call this tenative.

Welcome Jason and Sheridan! Dave let us know. I might be able to swing by for a little while.

I'm up for a Saturday/Sunday - any weekend but March 10th & 11th.

I am also creeping closer to requiring a light work party to help install my work in process (valve train going in this weekend):

I can't make it (bummer, too, because I live pretty close to there and the food is great) - I have something else going on on Tuesday that I can't miss.

Guys, my car is up on ebay (and here in the classifieds too). The car has been running great ever since I replaced the corroded, brittle wiring and cleaned up the grounds, and I've had a blast in her, but I'm really trying to knock out my debt, and the car has got to go.

Once it sells, I will just have one credit card and the car payment on my Aveo - but I should be able to eliminate those pretty quick. Then, when I'm fully debt-free, I will save up for another 914. (Or a souped-up Chevelle, haven't decided about that yet.)

If I don't get my reserve on the ebay auction, I'll see you at more Teener Tuesdays...

Posted by: RSWannabe Mar 4 2007, 09:14 PM

I was hoping the local teeners might be able to help me out. I need a lower front valance for an early 914. I have a fiberglass one is great shape, but a I need a metal one in short order so I can modify it to work with my GT flares. Anyone have one they are looking to sell? Any leads appreciated.

I need to buy new tires for my 914, and was wondering if any of the Puget Sound Teeners could recommend a good tire for this area and weather. Do you run 'all season' or 'summer' tires on your car, and how is the performance and ride?

The car is a stock 2.0 with 4-lug Fuchs. The 914 used to be my daily driver, but now it is more of a weekend/sunny weather car. Thanks.

Well it seems that I am on the hunt for a 914 AGAIN. Tragedy struck at about 10:30 this morning when a Sentra decided that the driver's side of my car was a good place to plant its bumper. Then my car jumped a curb and cracked the engine blockand twisted various frame sections. Thats right guys, Dagmar has been murdered!!!

Anyone know of a good '73-'74 roller with NO hell hole issues, trunk rust, or other nasty rust that may or may not have an engine for me to swap parts into?? I will be building one soon......

nope no ssi. we're going to harvest anything he needs for his new car. then we're going to go through it again for mine. and we'll have to see what's left after that.

oh and the seats are going in the new one. lol and any interior he doesn't need is MINE!!! SO BACK OFF!!! biggrin.gif LOL i'm sure we'll have a list of all the leftovers up eventually.

we're not going to start tearing into her until he has another so he knows what he needs. so it could be a while. so if we can hold off on the "do you still have" and "i need" it would be appreciated.

More importantly - Glad to hear your OK.

robert, what is the rad shop doing to your tank? who's doing the work and how much $?

Posted by: rjames Apr 24 2007, 04:19 PM

Hey Kevin,

Just tried calling you. I took my tank to 'Puget Sound Radiator Repair'. They're at the intersection of 80th & Lake City Way NE. (206) 524-0886 (Just north of the U-district). However, my impression is that any radiator shop should have an acid tank and be able to do this kind of work.

Small 1 owner local shop. I was quoted $100 over the phone, but was charged considerably less since it took him a couple of extra days to get to it (4 days total).
The bummer is that he took it out of the acid bath last night, which meant that it sat in his shop all night and this afternoon gathering some surface rust again. The original plan was for him to take it out in the morning so I could pick it up and then get it back into the car and full of gas so as to minimize any returning surface rust. Regardless, I'm happy with the work and the tank looks a LOT better on the inside, AND there were no holes. smilie_pokal.gif

The outside will of course need to be repainted, which I hope to start tonight when I get home. I'm just going to use metal ready followed by a few coats of black por15 and call it good. thumb3d.gif

Let me know if you need any more info!

Posted by: rjames Apr 26 2007, 07:36 PM

On second thought, don't go there. Go to a place that you can be assured that you can pick it up as soon as they are finished so it doesn't sit and start rusting in their shop overnight.

This morning I loaded 3/4th of a bottle of metal ready into the tank, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then I flushed it 3 times with very hot water and then blew hot air into it until it was completely dried.

The whole thing was a PITA, but at least I'm done.

maybe a saturday afternoon meet would be good, and we could watch the people falling out of the sky! laugh.gif

now that there is no smoking i really love going there, i can take my daughter with out worrying that i'm starting her on the way to lung cancer.

saturdays really are best if you want to get more people together. i'd have to leave my house at 1pm (and that can still be dicey) to be on the other side of king county, not park the car on 405, and to be there in a timely fashion. ain't gonna happen. NEVER.

Tuesday will NOT work for me. I'm planning on attending the NWARC (North West Alfa Romeo Club) Wednesday (05/23/07) evening lapping day at Pacific Raceways.

I've got plenty of work these next two evenings to get ready for Wednesday.

How about Teener Wednesday at the track? Should be a nice mix cars. There is the possibility of getting some rides on the track.

Best Regards

Well, had some personal issues come up today and won't be able to attend this evening.

I'll try and make it out to Pacific tomorrow evening to check out the happenings. No cost if I'm just coming to watch right? Far as I can tell on their website they only charge if you're entering a car or if you're a second driver.


Posted by: Eddie914 May 22 2007, 07:29 PM

Yes,

No cost to show up and watch. Track opens at 2:00pm First run group out on the track at 4:00 pm. Ends at dusk. Sunset is about 8:30 pm.

It never hurts to bring a helmet.

I'll probably be the only 914 there ... there might even be some Alfa Romeo cars there.

Eddie

Posted by: Root_Werks May 22 2007, 11:12 PM

John,

Sorry you couldn't make the Teener Wednesday Lapping Day. I was hoping you would come by for a ride.

Somebody had to be there to defend the honor of the Porsche 914. Mine was the only 914 there on the track, even though a couple of other 914 owners were there (Larry - LS6/914 and Jeff Higgins), they didn't have their Teeners there.

Hey, Marc!

Last nite was fun. It was a small turn out with only Dan driving his 914 to dinner.

We floated the idea of a Church of Formula 1 meeting on June 17th. That is also the end of LeMans (6am edt). The F1 race from Indy starts a 9 am local time, but it is on FOX so gawd only knows when they will air it.

So, chime in! I want Bloody Marys available and an unobstructed view of the screen. Other than that, I am W I D E O P E N!!!

Hey Rand

Yes, it is at Boeing. They have the Saturday and Sunday AM and PM runs. It will be put on by Torque Steer. I know I could do Saturday, and I want to do Sunday, but I think that would have to be in the AM run group. If you guys want to meet up there it would be good to see more 914s there. Last week I was the only teener representing our group. Here is the link if you want to register. http://www.autocrossscorekeeper.com/register/wwscc/ Just found out I will be running Open Street. So that would be AM on Saturday and PM on Sunday.

kevin mount vernon sounds great! boldblue.gif go ahead and pick your favorite place, i'll be there!

it would be a much shorter drive for our canuck friends.

Hey Troy

I will be good to see you out there. As I said before I will be running in the morning on Saturday. Should all be over around noonish.

For those that may want to go Sunday, if you run in the PM group in starts around noon and goes until 4:00ish. Hope to see a few of you guys out there.

ok brothers, tuesday is supposed to be 73 and sunny.

shall we meet in carnation, snohomish buzz inn and watch people fall outta the sky, or some where else that we haven't been to yet?

we could push the time back to 6:30 or 7pm to give you guys down south a break on traffic.


Buzz Inn would be cool.

Hey guys. I would like to join you all. This weekend there are autocrosses in Everett on Saturday and Sunday though.


Will that be at Boeing? Would be cool to meet some the gang there too. Anyone have a link to more info?

see yaou in snohomish about 6:30? buzz inn

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jun 12 2007, 04:32 PM

Hey guys... I would love to meet up with you all soon. I just had a client call and ask to see a condo in Seattle at 7:30. I don't think I could make it to both. Let's do another one soon.

Hey Troy. Works for me. Traffic out Hwy 9 can be bad that time of night, right? How long you figure it would take from Kirkland/Bothell? What route would you take? Could go up Bothell/Everett Hwy and jump over Seattle Hill Rd if Hwy 9 is a bad idea.

What up gang? Going to do this? Anyone else going to make it? How 'bout it Jon??

Key Kevin (Rhodyguy).... This is much closer than Mt. Vernon. Plug that carb, throw in a fire extinguisher, and start driving! laugh.gif
Somehow I think the whole Mt. Vernon idea was a poke.gif from the south-ender...... But seriously man, look forward to joining you for a brew one day.

Hey Rand,

You might want to take Woodinville-Duvall road to West Snoqualmie Valley (left), and then in to Snohomish on the backroads (it is a very nice drive). That's the way that I would go, but now I have a 6:00 PM meeting in Redmond, and I drove the 4-Runner today (a 60 mile drive to Mt Vernon on I-5 in rush hour traffic was not too appealing for me).

I don't think so tonight. The 914 is parked at home, and I've got a buddy at the gym who is expecting me to spot for him tonight. I'll try harder next time... and next week is supposed to be in the 70s and 80s.

Unbelievable story tonight. We are still in disbelief... Of all nights.... They were filming a movie at Harvey field. And the humble old "Buzz Inn" became quite the hot spot afterwards. I can't believe this.... The luck of all Teener Tuesday nights. Nobody is going to believe our story about the skydiving babes, are they Troy?! Oh well. Unfreakingbelievable.

Troy! That stereo kicks. Very sweet setup. Love the stealth-factor. Thanks for showing it off.

Dan! What are you doing to your car now?? I thought that thing already had 911 front suspension?

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jun 12 2007, 11:54 PM

Well, now I am really pissed at my client (not really). He wanted to see a condo that was worthless. I know it's my job and all, but I really wanted to go Meet you guys. Now I hear that there were skydiving hotties headbang.gif Well, I hope to make it next time. How many are planning on going to the AX this weekend?

Posted by: messix Jun 13 2007, 12:07 AM

i can't remember what all the filming was for, all i was paying attention to were how the what ever they were wearing was staying on! especially after free falling and chute opening and landing!
it just defies all engineering and physics.

where is my camera when i need it!

it was really cool when they had us in that one shot! i can still smell the coconut oil!

do you think that most were silly cones or real?

Hey Rand

Yeah I will still be there. We won't finish until about 12:00ish. It will be good to meet you. So the place where the AX course is set up is South west parking lot, the Shipping and Receiving lot, located right off the Boeing freeway. See you there.

Jon

Hope to meet you, Jon (Blood red 914 6gt).

Wish I could make it but my rental house got flooded by a broken toilet tank valve today. Have to replace all the carpet, sheet rock 2' up the walls, floor insulation....after we get it dried out. At least insurance covers most of it.

The Bartell works. Whatever time you guys want works for me. My wife will be home by 4:30 to watch the kidlet biggrin.gif . Sounds like fun. Sorry about the whole flooding thing. I have had that happen in a few of our rentals. It's like renters don't know what the shut off valve is. headbang.gif .

Not having done this before I'd like to watch a couple of masters perform the work. Especially if it can be done in 30 minutes. Others have said that replacing the alt is a royal pain unless you drop the engine, which also sounds like a royal pain to me.

Post here when the work will be done, and I'll come over and lend moral suport and learn some new skills!

All right. You all can watch. the 30 minutes was more of a figure of speach meaning it doesn't take too long. It's on the side of the engine. You don't need to drop anything. You just need to have the sheet metal out of the way. However, if you are all there it will take longer with everyone chattin. clap56.gif . Oh, I forgot to account for if the heater blower is above it. The ones I did didn't have heat so that wasn't a problem. However, I had to replace the damn alternator four times before I finally got a good one. headbang.gif . So anyhow, it will be good to have everyone together biggrin.gif

I get out there around 8:00, but I help set up the course. I am generally done by 9:30 and from then until I run I don't have to do anything. There is generally a few 914s out there. If the weather is nice we are generally there until about 4:00 or so.

Its going to be beautiful tomorrow. Wife gave me the thumbs up (or was that the finger?) to spend the evening cavorting with my 914 comrades. Where are we meeting tomorrow?

Somewhere South of Lynnwood prefered. I missed the meet at the Alki location - what about there? Or somewhere on the East side so we can do some driving. Any word from the guy needing the alternator? Work party?

Does someone centrally located want to host? Kevine? Rand? Dan? Rich? Jon? Robert? Geoff? (I'm sure I'm missing someone) I'll bring burgers.

dan driving "Ed's" car or "Ed driving his own car.

i say "Ed" because i don't believe that "Ed" exists. it's just dan's alter ego. idea.gif

Geoff,

Since most Teener owners are such packrats, you would all feel right at home the way my deck is looking right now. Doesn't everyone use bellhousings and intake maifolds for decorations on their deck? Since the NASCAR boys use race wheels to hold up glass table tops, why shouldn't I use a bellhousing to hold up a flowerpot?

I generally have Tuesdays free. Rich, if nobody else can we could always go grab a drink. Anyone else free for tomorrow? My wife owes me free time anyways.

Posted by: rjames Sep 17 2007, 02:20 PM

I might be able to, won't know for sure until tomorrow after work.
What's the destination?

Posted by: messix Sep 17 2007, 02:51 PM

i'll meet up with you Rich. not sure if'n i'll drag the teener out but lets get together for a bite and brew.
you got any ideas on where.

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Sep 17 2007, 03:50 PM

We are all close by each other so why not something close. I am running to a guys house tomorrow to see how much it will cost for him to weld in my new rear floor with Engman kit. So I guess we need to figure if the 914s are going to come along and where.

Posted by: effutuo101 Sep 17 2007, 04:43 PM

It depends on how my day unfolds tomorrow. If I get everything done, I might join late depending on where everybody is going. But it might not be until 8 or 9pm..don't know.

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Sep 17 2007, 05:21 PM

Well... if we do something close it would be easier for you Chris. I don't care how late we stay out. My wife owes me a break from our son from me watching him all week last week while she was at a work convention.

A bunch of misc. stuff. Nothing for the exhaust system. I have an early seat backing in almost perfect condition, some H4 headlights, and other stuff that is going to the dump unless someone comes and claims it.

It's a yellow 73 2.0L with a recent rebuild, mild cam, hydraulic lifters. otherwise basically stock but strong running.

My top 5 list of things I need to fix are:
1. The horn does not work.
2. Fog lights do not work. (could just be the bulbs???)
3. Heater blower is not working. (wires on the motor are disconnected, and I can not find the loose end to plug them into.)
4. Window seals are in rough shape.
5. Hard to crank over / needs new ignition switch. probably not ACTUALLY related to each other. Engine just cranks slowly when starting... and you have to push in on the key to get it to engage the starter...

like everyone, I would like to do a bit of body work and paint. I would also really like to go through the suspension. Honestly though the car is in really good shape and I LOVE driving it!

I also have a 31 Ford I am doing some work to. smile.gif I don't know a lot of people in the north end because I moved here from Port Orchard about a year ago to take a job, so my wife and I are looking for some folks to hit the road with once in a while, get some dinner or just retreat ot the man cave and turn a wrench.
I have a lot to learn about the 914. I used to drag race a 69 beetle 2.0L but it is SO not the same! anyone who says a 914 is a VW is out of their mind!

-Brad

Ok, that is NOT the one I thought it was, But that is a better location for me anyways so cool.

I thought it was the one on bothel everett highway right next to the 526.

I should be right on time to that location. See you guys at 6.

Posted by: Rand Oct 23 2007, 05:08 PM

Uh oh! LOL... Better wait for confirmation on the address. There's more than one "Buzz Inn" around here. The one by 526 is a likely candidate.

Posted by: effutuo101 Oct 23 2007, 05:13 PM

Both work, so pick one

Posted by: messix Oct 23 2007, 05:46 PM

the one on 19th. south of the boeing freeway.

i'll be there 'bout 6:30

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Oct 23 2007, 06:21 PM

So that would be the one off of 526 and not the one with the link?

I will be at the one off of the bothell everett highway just after 6:15.

I had a great time last night too... I moved here for work about a year ago and my wife and I don't really know a lot of people because I was so wrapped up in work for the first 9 months, so it was cool to get out with some different people.

On a side note, my car had the starting issue I talked about last night again after I got home.

I hooked up the heater blower, and when I went to start it it cranked over but would not start. Went out 30 minutes later and it fired up. I think I need someone to help me out with this issue, because it is driving me crazy!

You should start a new thread on this.

When it does this, you said you don't hear the fuel pump running, right? Here's what I would do for starters: Next time it does this maybe grab someone and have them go through start cycles while you can move around and listen closely to the fuel pump.

If you determine for sure that the fuel pump isn't running then you can run through some steps to narrow it down.... How are the connectors at the pump? Put a meter on it - is there power at the pump? You could also make some jumper wires (I have some on hand with alligator clips at each end that are handy for stuff like this) and put power directly to the fuel pump terminals to see if it runs.

Intermittent problems are fun eh? Nice meeting you last night. Good luck - keep us posted.

Posted by: Eddie914 Nov 7 2007, 09:09 PM

If I would show you would have to buy ALL my refreshments ... it's my last day of work!

I resigned from my job of FIFTEEN YEARS!

I don't think i could attend ... My wife is having surgery next Wednesday. She is pretty nervous. She will need my support the night before.

15 years! Wow, I did exactly the same thing 4 years ago. It's a scary thing to do, but oh so liberating! Congrats!

Posted by: Eddie914 Nov 7 2007, 09:38 PM

Robert,

"Scary"


"Liberating!"


You hit the nail(s) on the head!

I've firmly grasped the "scary" portion of the equation ... I'm waiting for the "liberating" portion to soak in ...

I've been in public accounting for the last fifteen years. Too many years of working crazy hours and missing out on the family from January through April 15th.

Robert, thanks for the encouragement ... I very much like ... "liberating"!

WCR 2008! Here I come!

Eddie

Ummm... I am up for doing something next week, but Tuesday they are having the WCR meeting. Maybe we can all do something on next Thursday. Then Eddie could come biggrin.gif

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Nov 19 2007, 02:41 PM

I might be up for something tomorrow. Just depends if an offer that is supposed to come in today does, or if it comes in tomorrow. Anyone else?

Posted by: messix Nov 19 2007, 03:59 PM

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Dec 29 2007, 01:10 PM

Hey guys! Figured I would check in and let you know I am alive still. Just without a driving/running teener for awhile. I hope everyone has been having a great holiday season!

Posted by: effutuo101 Dec 29 2007, 01:26 PM

Hey Jim! Where you been? Glad to see you are still out there. We should have another Tuesday soon. Been a long time.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Dec 29 2007, 01:37 PM

I've just been hiding out in Tacoma. And it HAS been way too long. I cant even tell you when the last teener tuesday was that I went to. Maybe some of us can get together on the 1st?

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Dec 29 2007, 02:05 PM

Yeah, we do need to get together soon. Don't really know about the 1st though. I got to meet Eddie914 yesterday. He let me drive his car piratenanner.gif I really think my 914 needs more power. No more of this stock 2.0l 6 stuff for me...... Hey Dan.. we NEED to talk biggrin.gif . Lets try to figure out a tuesday in the next few weeks so we can get a good turn out. beerchug.gif

Posted by: dinomium Dec 29 2007, 02:33 PM

Careful, Jon!
Dan is contagious, next thing you know you will be welding roofs and stuff!

LOL!

Posted by: messix Dec 29 2007, 03:45 PM

it all starts with just a intake swap and while your doing that you might as well .... well then you have a screaming 2.5

Posted by: effutuo101 Dec 29 2007, 05:20 PM

and troy and dino come out of the wood works... biggrin.gif

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Dec 29 2007, 05:35 PM

Hey. 2.5 is perfect for what I want to do piratenanner.gif . in PCA 2.5 is the max for GTU and Mod U. My suspension with 200hp... biggrin.gif There will be no welding of roofs for me..... at least not on THIS 914. Can't say I won't try to do it in the future to another though.

Posted by: Eddie914 Dec 31 2007, 10:44 PM

Jon,

It was great meeting you.

I agree ...

piratenanner.gif I really think my 914 needs more power.


Lunch for Teener Tuesday might be fun.

Eddie

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 1 2008, 12:18 AM

I would be up for a lunch somewhere. Anyone else?

Posted by: LS6/914 Jan 1 2008, 12:29 AM

If there is a get together I would like to leave the shop. The McLaren chassis project is getting to be a MIGRANE! or maybe its just the realization of how long the wife has been..........ouch. Heres to a better year, Larry

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 1 2008, 12:45 AM

Ummm... I guess you'll have to explain that one to me over lunch biggrin.gif So we have Eddie and Larry... and who else? Shall we try for a 12:30 luch somewhere in Seattle? Maybe North Seattle?

Posted by: sixnotfour Jan 1 2008, 12:53 AM

I can show , depending on where.

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 1 2008, 12:56 AM

I am open to where ever you guys would like to go. I just want to drive my 914 biggrin.gif It's supposed to be nice again.

Posted by: sixnotfour Jan 1 2008, 01:16 AM

Chris rig up a string throttle and bring your 914

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 1 2008, 01:22 AM

I can pick Chris up if he can come. He can even drive my car for a bite. But I'm not coming all the way back to his condo. I don't want to kill my air dam on that damn speed bump that's two feet tall again.

Posted by: LS6/914 Jan 1 2008, 01:25 AM

No explaination, theres another man. My daughters are upset. Iam at home doing damage control. She is out partying. If I can get together my youngest will be with me. Larry.......Happy NewYear

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 1 2008, 01:28 AM

Oh, sorry to hear that Larry. Well, it will be nice to meet you. Kids are always welcoome as the 914 sickness starts young biggrin.gif. When I started my 914 up this morning my 17 month old son climbed up onto the couch and started making car noises.

So where would work best for you Larry? Would you take the ferry across?

Posted by: LS6/914 Jan 1 2008, 01:33 AM

I guess I should clarify that the youngest is 16 and has been on the track with me in Lotus/Cosworth and McLaren cars. They are both total gear heads. Is that so bad? Larry

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 1 2008, 01:39 AM

Sweet. I wish my dad had cool cars like that. My dad has a 1929 Chryster Plymoth. It's neat and all, but when it comes to driving I really learned that from my friends dad. My kids will most likely be like yours.

Well, I am going to bed, but I am planning on joining you guys for lunch tomorrow where ever you decide.

Posted by: LS6/914 Jan 1 2008, 01:42 AM

I will probably drive around as I will be moving one of the teeners to Port Townsend. However I may bring the 928 out. Provided it behaves! Iam open thankks gang Larry

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 1 2008, 11:33 AM

Happy New Year guys.... So what's the plan? Lunch? Where? When?

Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 1 2008, 12:08 PM

Sorry, I am going to wimp out on this. I promised my wife breakfast in bead with Mimosa's. I will be up for something next week!

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 1 2008, 12:18 PM

Well you just get your car running biggrin.gif

Posted by: Eddie914 Jan 1 2008, 02:01 PM

I'm running late today.

I folded to peer pressure and went out to breakfast after my morning swim ... in Puget Sound at Alki Beach!

There was a big biker gathering (mostly Darley Davidson) at the Alki Tavern spilling out into the boat parking lot. Around 100 bikes. The 914s would have fit in being air cooled.

Let's see what next week looks like for scheduling.

Eddie

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 1 2008, 02:05 PM

Sounds good. So we will plan for something next week.

Posted by: sixnotfour Jan 1 2008, 02:16 PM

sounds good, buying wheels today in auburn

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 1 2008, 02:28 PM

What kind?

Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 1 2008, 09:26 PM

How about a TRAXX run? Drive what you want and lets go race some go karts!

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 1 2008, 09:28 PM

That sounds like a very good idea. We should plan that and see if we can get some kind of discount.

Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 1 2008, 09:31 PM

Kieran and I are in. already have tickets ( birthday gift card) Lets go have fun! Should we make it 7:30 pm so everbody can make it?

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 1 2008, 11:48 PM

I am in... Who else... I will call tomorrow to see if we can get a group rate.

So we should say this is for Tuesday the 8th at 7:30pm?

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jan 2 2008, 01:00 PM

Sounds like loads of fun! I think I should be able to make it, and I will talk to John too.

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 2 2008, 04:16 PM

Okay, So here are the details. Groups of six or more get a 20% discount per race making it $13.50 a race. If you have never been to Traxx before you will like the course. It is one of the largest I have been on in the NW for go-karting and they give you ample time each race. The info if you want to look it up yourself is:

Traxx Indoor Raceway
4329 Chennault Beach Road
Mukilteo, WA 98275 (directions)
425-493-TRAX or 425-493-8729
info@traxxracing.com

So we are planning on 7:30 in the 8th. They stay open until 11:00.

Let me know if you guys are up for it and I will make a reservation asap.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jan 3 2008, 12:02 PM

I think me and my girl will make it. Count us in

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 3 2008, 02:47 PM

Cool, that makes five...maybe six if my wife would like to go. Anyone else?

Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 4 2008, 12:32 AM

Maybe my wife will come as well. I asked her to. Anybody else? Maybe wait until Saturday so the weekenders get a chance.

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 4 2008, 07:15 PM

I was going to wait until Sunday to make the reservation anyway biggrin.gif Anyone else going to join us?

Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Jan 7 2008, 01:53 PM

Anyone else? I didn't schedule yet as they said they had plenty of space, but in order to get the discount we do need to have six and make the appointment today.

Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 7 2008, 02:15 PM

That sucks. Well, Kieran ( maybe Angela) and I are up for it. I already have tickets for two races (gift card) so it dosn't sound like a go this time.

Well I called last night and was told that we can have a reservation after 8:30 I don't know if that was too late or what. we could always meet up early for a bite then start racing when they are ready.

What do you guys think?

Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 15 2008, 08:32 AM

I can be there about 7pm.

They said they were available for walk-ins, but to get the discount we would have to wait until 8:30. SO if you don't care about the discount we can go at 7:00. I don't really care too much.


Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 15 2008, 07:52 PM

doesn't matter to me. See you at 7pm.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Jan 15 2008, 08:07 PM

Hey Chris

I can't make it tonight. I get the part I've been waiting for in an hour, and then I have to put it in the car. Until then I am carless....kinda sad.gif

Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 15 2008, 10:55 PM

That sucks Jon. Hope it went well. Kieran won our race, I came in second about .5 seconds behind him. I need to lose 20lbs to compete with the kid. He got 8th place for the day.
We should try to make this a monthly thing. 8pm so everybody can make it.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Jan 15 2008, 11:41 PM

Yeah, it did suck. After waiting for way too long I finally got the part and got it in. I agree, we should make Traxx a once a month thing.

I'd work it out on a Tuesday if I had to.

Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 16 2008, 07:25 PM

My thought that this is more of a winter thing when we can't get out and have fun. We should do it on a Saturday/Sunday and as the weather gets warmer, we can cancel it and make it a group drive on Tuesdays! biggrin.gif

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Jan 16 2008, 08:05 PM

That's a good idea. We will need to plan this. I will post something next week when everyone has given input.

Okay, So what Saturday would work best for you guys? Let's think one in February?

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jan 23 2008, 08:53 PM

A sunday would work best for me, as I have to work on Saturdays, but have tuesdays and sundays off at my new job. As far as a teener tuesday goes, I am open to something on the 5th. Any ideas?


Also, I am thinking of parting my wrecked '73. I will be keeping some/most of the good parts for a future 914 to tinker on. Anyone need any parts? I can deliver in the puget sound region for any "large" parts......

I can do a sat afternoon until april. You will have to tolerate a 928 though.

Posted by: RockinOldSchool Jan 24 2008, 12:26 PM

Hey Jim, here's the list I've come up with so far.
Didn't know what you want to keep for now.
If I can't buy it, I'll borrow it. LoL

Bumpers
Muffler
Exchangers (if they were SSIs)
Back pad
Interior light
Heater parts and controls
Center console
Gauges (dash and console)
Fuel Level Sender
Body and Targa Seals
Targa top
Trunk Targa clips
Front trunk platform
Window regulators if they're still usable. (can't remember if they are or not. I'm guessing not)
Windshield trim.
The little bushing for the passenger side headlight that I'm missing.
The tranny.
The stainless brake lines.
And... Ebrake parts!!! lol


That's a bit longer than I thought it'd be.
Looks like I'm gonna be broke after this. lol

I've got a bursch setup w/o heat exchangers if you're interested. Its in pretty good shape.

Also, if anyone is interested... I've got a complete D-jet system 'in a box'. I recently built a Raby 2270 kit with SDS EFI so I won't be needing the d-jet.

Cool. Maybe this year you could come to a Boeing AX and co-drive my car with me. It should be killer this year. Taking 5-10lbs off the flywheel, transmission gear swap and rebuild, and a TB diff biggrin.gif We'll just see how you approve.

I may have to take you up on that offer Jon. What is the schedule like?

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Jan 25 2008, 10:02 PM

I should be at most all the PCA AX's at bremerton. If I miss one it would be because of an emergercy. Go to http://www.pnwr.org/Track/autocross/default.asp to see the schedule. I will be at the February one as well. It will be cold though.

Posted by: effutuo101 Feb 24 2008, 02:21 PM

Tuesday is looking good so far. Anybody up for a bite?

Definitely maybe. I think I should be good, but I do have a few clients that are looking to do something any day.

Posted by: Root_Werks Feb 24 2008, 10:20 PM

Close to Edcc for me. Class isn't suppose to get out until 8:30PM, but usually gets out a little before 8PM. I'll try to make it even if I swing by late. I started driving my teener daily again. driving.gif

Posted by: effutuo101 Feb 25 2008, 08:47 PM

I will be by late as well. Probably about 8pm (just in time to see Dan!) See everybody tomorrow.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Feb 25 2008, 08:50 PM

Should we just plan it for 7:30 then? That way the late joiners won't be too late.

Posted by: messix Feb 25 2008, 08:55 PM

i'll be there 'bout 7.

i'm gonna order up some roasted mussels, they've got the best.

Posted by: Rand Feb 25 2008, 09:15 PM

Ok, I might show up if everyone else promises not to make any comments about Troy's roasted mussels. laugh.gif

I think I'll stick with turf and brew.

Oh, thanks again for picking up the tab for food/beverage. I can't believe myself and everyone else forgot thier wallets. biggrin.gif

Oh yeah, I am cruising along North I-5 when Jon comes screaming by me just before the Everett Mall/Silver Lake Exit. Man, that exhaust sounds sweet!

Jon, did you see the cop sitting off to the left? If you hadn't exited, he might have nabbed you. driving.gif

Ther's going to be a 2270 in GTU. I've got some good competition this weekend. I don't mind if it rains. I am generally very fast in the wet. Lots of practice biggrin.gif Hope to see many of you guys out there. It would be cool to see a lot of 914s running. Generally we might have five or six. That is way too few.

Posted by: Todd Enlund Mar 25 2008, 05:15 PM

I'm going to be in the Seattle area on April 19th, and I'll be having dinner and beer at Diamond Knot brewpub in Mukilteo that evening, if anyone is interested. I won't have my 914 there... I don't have an engine yet. I will have my wife and her zoom-zoom Mazda3. I'll have my camera if anyone wants to bring their 914 and I'll shoot some pics... maybe by the lighthouse...

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Mar 25 2008, 05:46 PM

I'm close in that area as well 6freak. I MIGHT join in tomorrow, but I am completely teenerless. Kinda depends on what my girl wants to do. I do have a comfy 4 seater that gets REALLY good mpg if Kev wants to ride and not drive.

Posted by: RockinOldSchool Apr 7 2008, 11:33 PM

I might be able to make it as well. Don't have class Tuesday nights anymore! biggrin.gif

If I do, I too will be teener-less. She's currently parked in the garage with no insurance. (Needed a car with defrost due to some deep freezes down here.) Soon as the weather calms a little more she'll be back out and about though.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Apr 7 2008, 11:36 PM

I think a lot of people will be teenerless wink.gif Mine is in getting some welding done on the interior at the moment.

Still have not heard in the 5th Ave Grillhouse sounds good to you guys or not. My wife likes the sound of it.

Posted by: messix Apr 7 2008, 11:41 PM

Poor Troy got 5 0d on the way home. I came around a corner and noticed the black Edmonds police car sitting there then looked in my rear view to see Troy come around the corner to get nabbed. It should be a 30 or 35 zone but is a 25. chair.gif

oohh! it was not good!

i didn't realize tabs WERE due back in october! and he said 41 in a 25! and i couldn't find my insurance card! but he let that one go.

so tomorrow i go get classic car plates [ i won't have to remember to go get tabs on that car any more.

and the thing is i didn't even think i was speeding, just putting along.

how much?...... lets just say i would rather have a renshifter.

so go to court i go and play every ticket fitting trick there is.

did you see how he had that radar gun kinda hanging out the window?

wasn't there another car going the opposite direction?

lets see subpoena operator instructions on proper operation of radar gun. and officers training cert. and last calibration of radar gun from manufacture.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Apr 9 2008, 01:23 AM

Troy... just hire a lawyer on this one.

John Eltringham is very good. He has got me off of every ticket I have gave to him. Well, all two of them. However, he is the lawyer that Park Place LTDs employees use and he does very well for them. 206-650-6560.

Actually, she bought my 914 for me as a birthday present. (She understands the disease. biggrin.gif )

I'd love to ride with you, unfortunately I have dinner plans so it'd probably be a better idea for me to drive myself. In case I need to take off before you. ( headbang.gif I can't believe I'm turning down another ride in your car)

I'll see what she says tonight and let you know. If I'm lucky (depending upon the size of my paycheck), I'll insure the teener tomorrow and drive her Saturday. If it works out, maybe we can convoy.

if you didn't get pinned for the $480ish ins and $$$expired tabs you might just pay the ticket. he could have lit you up for an invalid registration too. you were fortunate. or...prob $200+ an hour portal to portal for the mouth piece to fight an infraction you ARE guilty of. lucky it wasn't a school/work zone. everything is x2. chose your poison and stay out of edmonds if you go the fighting route. there's only so many white 914s with frontend damage in snoho country.

Yes talk is cheap And all I can afford right now. Besides all the scenery is buried in the cloud cover. Cascades and Olympics are hiding and it's too cold for my skinny butt to take the top off. This would need some planning to work out well but would be a great day trip for a few people. Ferry ride, curvy roads, some shopping for the GF/Mrs, site seeing, lunch,Deception Pass , a run up Mt Erie on Fidalgo , Dinner at the Rock Fish Grill in Anacortes Sunset at Washington Park with a view of the San Juans. A long day for sure. Not something for the cold crappy days we are having now. More like August. When the weather is better and I actually will have some positive cash flow. I hope. Any one interested contact me perhaps we can put this together.

Hope to see a few of you there. Now just out of curiosity, I read that to attend you have to be a PCA member or invited guest. Are they gonna hassle me for not being a member? Or do I just say I'm with one of you guys?

No offence taken on the talk is cheap comment . Just tellin it like it is. I'm current ly out of a job. My teener is signal orange , pretty much box stock with rusty chromes. Looks good from a distance ,up close it has some minor rust issues. I'm gettin a little gray with a big white mustache that people seem to comment on. you would see my around Oak Harbor are although I live in Greenbank. I will work on setting up a day trip in August on a Sat for any one interested. I've lived on the Is. for 35 yrs. I'll have to do a refresher trip for myself.

And Troy, I know you like going without a front swaybar, poke.gif but just for shits and giggles, you should put one on for the next event and see how you do then. As it is, you've got more body roll than a stock 1953 Chev pickup. laugh.gif

He knows, or at least I hope he does, that I'm just messing with him. I was actually pretty impressed with how well he did considering its a 1.8 with no front swaybar. Much love for the stock car! And there was noticeable improvement with each run. As they say, practice makes perfect. Here's to Troy beerchug.gif

I'm going to have to say it probably was, and that my memory is faulty. I thought it was black, and I don't remember a wing. I can't imagine that there are too many 914s in Oak Harbor that are that close to what I remember smile.gif
Oak Harbor is where I fell in love with the 914. My art teacher at North Whidbey Junior High in 1977-78 was Rick Nash, and he had a Signal Orange 914.

Sweet biggrin.gif Let me know when it is running. You should call me and stop by sometime soon.

Posted by: Todd Enlund Apr 20 2008, 11:53 PM

We had a good trip. Exciting weather. Diamond Knot was fun... Larry, we didn't hear any horns... Troy, my wife, and I were there until after 9. Today I stopped at PJ Haun's house and me him, his wife, and his car. He's got some interesting hardware on his 914. We stopped at the Oberto outlet store... my wife won't let me pass it. Lunch today was at the Rockfish Grill in Anacortes... didn't see any green teeners sad.gif

I make it up that way at least twice a year, and I am planning on the WCR even though I won't have my car done. But I think I finally have an engine on the way... at least a core. Looks like I'm getting a bus 2.0 with a pair of 44 IDFs for $400 biggrin.gif

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Apr 21 2008, 12:25 AM

It was great to meet you and your wife Todd. I look forward to seeing you at the WCR or earlier if you come up again. The Diamond Knot was great. I hope next time I can stay longer and drink more biggrin.gif

I was on my way to SEATAC Saturday and spent most of the day in town. Otherwise I've had the green car out just about every day after a long winter of no Porsche fun.

I haven't gone to a get together yet and with the sun out today...anyone meeting up?

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Apr 22 2008, 12:14 PM

I now I can't sad.gif Well, maybe we can plan something for next week. I am dropping my 2.0l out this weekend and welding in the Patrick mount and putting in my 2.4l biggrin.gif I can't wait. Next week would be a good time to do something.... Maybe we can do go karts or something.

Posted by: Rav914 Apr 22 2008, 12:29 PM

Next week then. I'd be pressed for time today as it is. Thanks.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Apr 26 2008, 02:13 AM

drunk.gif If you guys are looking for something to do this weekend I will be down at the shop getting the 2.4l ready to go in and getting it in. I will be down there all day Saturday and Sunday. The shop is located on 79th and Greenwood Ave N. in Seattle. It is called Matt's Greenwood Autocare. It's where I used to work before I got into real estate and they still let me use the shop when I need. It would be great to see you guys. Call me if you are on your way..

Would love to, but unfortunately spent all day today and again tomorrow in a shop down here. I tell ya, now is NOT a good time to be a flat-rate mechanic. 2.5 hours for the day. headbang.gif Oh well, that's what the benefit's for.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Apr 27 2008, 12:01 PM

Well, after working from 10am to 1am I got the 2.0l out and torn down. The carbs on the 2.4l rebuilt. Valves adjusted. Pieces washed and preped. The 2.4l is now ready to go in. It looks very good. I will take some pictures today when I go back down. I should be there from about 11:00 until late tonight. My welder friend is coming down to weld in the Patrick motor mount around 4:00 today. I can finally get rid of the quick six bar. It's amazing how long things can take when you keep putting stuff in the parts washer and then paint them. If anyone wants to stop by to see the progress feel free.

I tried to post earlier, but was let down by my connection. Good Work Jon!

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Apr 28 2008, 01:03 AM

So I just got home and without my car sad.gif I have everything in. I just need to connect the wiring harness, fill the oil, put the tank back in and fill it (took it out as I didn't want the fuel lines near what was being welded), and then time to dial in the carbs. My friend didn't get there to weld in the motor mount until 4pm. after it was welded and paint was dry enough I just ran out of time. I hope to finish it tomorrow but it will depend on if the have a bay open I can work in. I have some pics and will take more of everything in the car. Hope you all had a good weekend.

I'll check back later and see if something gets set up. Don't plan on me, but if it is in south center and matches up with my timing I could stop in. Will be headed back to Puyallup from Bellingham this afternoon/evening. So that's right on my way.

I wil have to relearn how to drive it though. I think it will take me at least one run to figure that out w00t.gif The TB diff is going to be the thing I will need to get the feel for. I am use to more HP. I've driven Erics car a few times and my car should be very close to his.

Going to put the street exhaust back on it. It sounds very nice as well but has a little more BP that this engine may need. I don't know... We'll see how long it stays that way. So when should we plan on doing something here guys? Next AX isn't for 2+ weeks.

Yes and no. the bumpers are off to go on my blue car and now Rand has the single carb plenum - he didn't even make me pay him to take it away - other than that it's largely intact.

Kevin and I are going to ride out together. We were going to take my car but I sort of ran into a problem with it tonight headbang.gif headbang.gif headbang.gif . I am starting to get sick of this stromberg.gif !!!

Either way we will be there teener or not. See you there.

What's happening now?sad.gif

Posted by: championgt1 May 24 2008, 12:28 AM

Kevin and I got the car running better than it has ever ran. Tonight I was on my way down to Triad to get my new exhaust installed and it started to stumble at about 60 miles an hour. As soon as I slowed down it just stalled like it was out of fuel. I was able to adjust the idle screw so it would idle at around 2000 rpm's and it got me home. Guess it was not running as good as I thought it was. sad.gif

On a better note I still was able to get down to Triad with my TRUCK and pickup my new exhaust. Man is it nice. smilie_pokal.gif

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT May 24 2008, 12:41 AM

piratenanner.gif I have my other Triad on mow so you will here how my real Triad sounds with my engine. I am glad to hear you got your Triad. Now I just hope you figure out your problem and can get you car out there. It would be good to get a big 914 group shot.

I'm sure we can plan something. biggrin.gif

I could always pick you up if you don't want to drive in the area. I used to live three blocks from the needle and know the area very well.

Guys, should we just plan on meeting at the Ram Brewery in Northgate? The seasonal is delicious.

Z's Pizza across from Fisher Plaza? Not much parking. Maybe something on the Pier? Or maybe something by the lake? There is a great pub/pool hall their. The 24th sounds good to me! I prefer not to send a newbe to Northgate.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Jun 20 2008, 12:34 PM

Forks isn't really close by. It's on the tip of the peninsula. I think the Seattle ferry goes close to there though. We'll figure something out. Really, the Northgate Ram is right off I-5. Easy to get to from where you will be but we may all decide on another place. We'll figure it out. Glad to see fellow teeners from other areas.

They said their hotel is across the street from the Neddle. I don't really know what hotel for sure but they are at least within walking distance of the Needle and 13 coins isn't that far from there if they wanted to meet you up there. However, it would be easier for them if you could meet them at the hotel.

Sorry, we are on the road (Vancouver, WA now) and have not had internet access all the time. We are staying at the Best Western Executive Inn in Seattle (200 Taylor Avenue N). According to Google it is about 7 miles south of the Ram.
I really appreciate the effort to pull something together last minute; it will be great to meet anyone that can make it.
I will have internet access at the hotel in Seattle so someone (our ride/rides) can PM me and I can send them a cell phone number. I probably won't be back on-line until the afternoon/evening when we get to Seattle.

Well I have to get on the road. driving.gif

Posted by: Root_Werks Jun 24 2008, 08:25 AM

Yup, should be a good turn out today. I was up this morning with the Go-Jacks swinging the 914 around in the garage so I could pull it out. biggrin.gif Feels good to drive the little guy, it's been a while.

So 6Freak and myself will do a pick-up of our visitors at 4:30PM by the 13 coins next to the space needle. Then we'll head up to RAM in northgate for food and beverage. chowtime.gif

Yeah, that's a good idea. We should just pick them up at the Hotel. Google it and let me know the cross streets. A nice drive around Lake Union, maybe touch the south east side of Green Lake on our way up to Northgate would be cool as well. driving.gif

I thank you all for extending the hospitality to us 'out of towners'.
We had a really good time. It was great to meet new people, see some of the local area and some nice 914s.
It has been a long time since I rode in a 914/6 and I got to ride in 2 nice 6's. I am not sure my wife had ever ridden in a 6.

Thanks

Jim & Mary

If any of you local guys are looking for a place to watch the fireworks you are all welcome to go to my parents house. They live right on the bluff on the Mukilteo blvd over looking the water and have a perfect view of the fireworks. Plus, if you have kids they are welcome to shoot off their forworks there too.

PM me for the address or call me.

Posted by: familienauto Jul 29 2008, 12:39 AM

I saw a gold/copper 914 broken down on the side of I-5 down by Puyallup, I think, about a week ago. I was going the other way, hauling my dad and my brother out to Westport to fish.

Not sure whose it is. But hopefully it is getting back on the road.

Posted by: dinomium Aug 5 2008, 01:55 PM

there is a cool car cruise and free BBQ here at Westsound Bank in lovely downtown Bremerton.
There should be about 100+ hot rods and customs. Did I mention the free burgers and hotdoggies?

Anything sounds good. I spent the day bumping against my rev limiter. I am gone this weekend, but, I should have time to remove my old sway bar on Monday and be ready for Tuesday. Hey Jeff,Jon, and the rest of the norhtern crowd, wanna catch the ferry over? I might be able to get out of here early, but won't know for sure until next tuesday.

Posted by: helios Aug 5 2008, 09:33 PM

I'd be down for a jaunt across on the boat. Just let me know when and where to meet if that's what the general consensus is. driving.gif

Suppose I should probably find the electrical issue w/ the left side running lights before then, eh? slap.gif

Ummm... I can't do ferrys. My air dam is a little too low for that sad.gif Something else?

Posted by: TC 914-8 Aug 6 2008, 12:19 AM

Hey,

You guys are forgetting me out here in Sequim. I'm up for a meet and talk about the good o'l days ( WCR 08).

Jon will have to crank up the torsion bars to clear the ferry, Hot rods and burgers sound good to me. We can have the Teener section at the hot rod show.

Bremerton sounds like a winner.

Tony

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Aug 6 2008, 12:24 AM

I am almost positive that won't help. I have thought about it but my air dam is still way too low with it as high as it can be. Then I am working on a splitter as well. I could drive around.... maybe.

Hi Jon,

I know there is nothing worse on hearing scraping on a Teener, (air dam, speed bumps, curbs etc...)

Driving around is a huge ride, plus 50 or so speed traps. Really I don't think the ramp on the ferry is that steep, check the tide schedule and make sure you board on high tide confused24.gif

Well any way, It would be good to get together with the local Puget Sound locals, O'l Troy needs to beat on a V-8 again.

Hmm, I had the same air dam on my silver car and it was as low as I could take it and I could get the car on the Ferry. Had to go slow and dodge the big crap, but I rode it about 10 times. Don't know.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Aug 6 2008, 11:11 AM

Really? Well, maybe I can give it a try.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Aug 6 2008, 03:14 PM

Well, during the week that drive can be murder. I am up for whatever as well. You could always swing by here and we can head out from there. Us Northern guys can teenervan down.

Posted by: helios Aug 6 2008, 09:52 PM

I was thinking about that as I posted it. Figured it might be pretty bad, but I've seldom had to deal with it so I'm running on limited experience.

I'm down for a teenervan. driving.gif Though I'll warn you now, you'll probably want me in the back.....she runs a might rich.

Okay, So the question is do we drive around or take the ferry? Time would be shorter to drive around but easier to take the ferry.

What time does this thing start in Bremerton?

Who all wants to go? We can start out here in Everett and head South meeting up with guys as we go depending on who wants to go.

Okay guys, let's make this a fun Tuesday.

Jon you're the man!!! smilie_pokal.gif

I sent a PM to Rhodyguy, I said I could pick him up in Tacoma if he can join us. Maybe we can all drive to his place and then on to Bremerton?

My vote is to drive around.

Posted by: dinomium Aug 8 2008, 12:46 PM

wow, I didn't think anybody would even entertain the idea of coming over here.

The last Hotrod cool car cruise of the summer is the FIRST Tuesday of September, 2nd. If you guys would like to attend, the cars to park in the Bank lot start arriving @ 5pm. If it is nice, we get between 100 and 150 cars! The back supplies burgers, hot dogs and non alkie drinks with the grill shutting down around 7pm, people hang around till about 8...
The bank is at 6th street and Pacific Ave in downtown Btown.

The name of the Place is Pete's, and I would be up for that. Greenie, maybe that is how/where I can borrow your CHT tool.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Aug 8 2008, 02:04 PM

I recall that being a fun drive. If the Northern guys meet up here in Everett we can teenervan there and you other guys can meet us there. I recall Troy knowing a good route to there.

What says the majority? Who all can make this?

Dino, so is the car thing happening on the second of September and not the 12th? Or is it going on both days?

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 9 2008, 09:45 PM

how about, used, ok 5.5" 4 lug steel wheels with stlightly oxidized chrome crested caps for $150 (punch line to follow)? lots of duplicates of items living in my shed. prob less than 30 people selling.

Posted by: sixnotfour Aug 9 2008, 09:47 PM

The John Walker Swap Meet , in seattle by woodland park.
all kinds of porsche parts.
I only bought 2 Fuchs

To see Kevins face inquiring about the wheels was Priceless.

I saw the "Each" on the sign. (the wheels were nice)

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 9 2008, 10:02 PM

yep. they were nice enough. a $600 set of steel wheels? dry.gif blink.gif i was crouched down looking at them. when i figured it out i had to stand up quick so i wouldn't poop my jockeys.

I agree, since I bought the 2 forged aluminum 8" fuchs for 270.

Good fun anyway, good to see the boys

Posted by: helios Aug 10 2008, 03:12 AM

So we are meeting @ 5pm in Everett, correct? What location are we meeting? I will likely need directions as my non-city dwelling ass rarely makes it down to the big city. blink.gif

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Aug 10 2008, 10:48 AM

Yes, 5:00 in Everett but not sure where. We will figure it out Monday when we know more of who is going to come.

I'm just full of questions

the ride to carnation is 'bout 35 min on high bridge rd from my house.

we could meet up at the mill creek lowes, that would be the 128 st exit off I5 then head east.
if it started to rain [it's not gonna rain ya pansy] it's not that far to get to redmond and hwy 522 to high tail it back to the boat.

i think we should work off of Tony and the fairy boat schedual, once he gets off the boat it should be 'bout 25-30 min drive to get to lowes that time of day

Thanks Jon,

I took my tire to Les Schawb today for a check out, I ran i=on it flat for a mile or so last night. The guy said he would pull it off the rim and check out the inner cords and to leave it for a while.

I came back a hour later the tire and rim was just rinsed off, white a N/C chalked on the tire, he might have opened it up but I'm not sure. Maybe the rinse off was to clean off all the fix-a-flat crap that came out??? The original tech wasn't there but the guy say's looks like your good to go and No Charge. Thats good news but I would like to talk to the guy who checked it out to hear first hand, I guess he was gone. So any way I put it back on the car, lit it up for a second, It started raining so I put her to bed early, and well see how she holds tomorrow.

I'm all in for the AX. I have never partcipated in one but seen a couple. What will I need??? Helmet, gloves, tools etc.

Do most guys trailer their cars, Spare tires, or drive as is?

Let me know. I did join the Olympic Pennisula chapter of the PCA, so I should get a schedule from them, I think.

Let me know how Tuesday night went. As I told Troy that would be a great run on a Saturday but it's a strech for me on Tuesday night.

Tony

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Aug 12 2008, 11:38 PM

Tony... at the AX you need a helmut but they do have loaners if you don't have one. Other than that you really need nothing else. Some do bring them on trailers and some drive them there. I drive there and have a buddy trailer my tires.

Tuesday was a blast. We had about 12 914s in Carnation and from the North we had about 8 teenervan down there. There was a construction bump that ripped my airdam really headbang.gif bad but I think I can fix it. We should have some pictures posted soon. Fun times aktion035.gif

Yeah, that was a bitch putting a lateral dip in the middle of the corkscrew. Good thing we were going slow or there would have been even more debris.

It wasn't the dip in the middle of the corner was it? I heard about 3 cars bottom out on that one heading up the hill. Sounded like plastic/fiberglass, not metal and I didn't see any sparks.

Just got home a few minutes ago. Had a blast. It was nice to meet a bunch of you guys. Those back roads were a blast. That has been the hardest that I've pushed the teener since I bought it (not that I was pushing that hard) and all seems to be working well. Didn't even have any hot start issues all day. pray.gif The car may struggle to get out of it's own way, but the thing is a ball to drive. Thanks for putting up with my pokey ass. Tomorrow it's back to elbow deep in VW grease. Hopefully we'll see you round the corner. beerchug.gif

Great time tonight! Good turnout, including some who joined us for the first time. Weather stayed warm and dry although there were a couple of tiny raindrops to make us nervous.

Greenie and I got to play on some twisties on the way home, including a spirited run down the Issaquah-Fall City Rd. Definitely an E-ticket. driving.gif driving.gif aktion035.gif

Pokey? Naw, you where doing just fine! our group home had Troy (1.8ish) Jeff (2.4ish) Jon (2.4) you and me (2.2ish) It was a lot of fun watching you hustle your car around the corners. you were not slowing anybody down. Hope to see you again soon. you have a great ride and I love your front air dam.
I was the last person in line going out, so I got to watch as people hit that dip. a lot of plastic and glass got scratched, but, on the last 3 cars in front of me, i dind't see any sparks.
I do have a question, does the little white stripe around the stop sign make them optional? happy11.gif

I also remember thinking I felt my left rear wheel getting some air when we made a hard downhill left turn on one of the farming roads. aktion035.gif

BTW, I notice that there were some folks that had their fog lights on without needing to have the headlights on. On my car this is not possible, the headlights must be on in order to turn the fogs on.

Was this a mod you guys did or is that the way they came from the factory?

I need to get different fog lights at some point. I think the ones on my car are those cheap pilot ones. While they sorta fit, the have a horrible pattern. Definitely not a fog pattern which renders them pretty much useless at night (scatter too much=blind oncoming traffic) unless I wanted to tie them in with the high beams. But the highs on the H4 don't need any support. blink.gif

Posted by: KELTY360 Aug 13 2008, 12:57 PM

Last night Greenie showed me a very cool twisty on a hill with dense trees on both side of the road. Both of us had our fogs on and it carved a tunnel of light to drive through, with the edge of the road clearly illuminated. Even though there were houses back in the trees, we seemed very isolated.....and we drove accordingly. ph34r.gif

shades.gif If you where leaving me Jon, you were not leaving that fast. I think that a little bit more tweaking and you might have a run for your money. Lets go find a quiet parking lot and do some head to head comparisons. Maybe I should flare may car, put some same size tires on it and have you compare lap times with you driving my car and then your car. Naw, lets get 6freak to do it. That way we have an unbiased look. cheer.gif

right..... but then again Jon has about a "Raby motor" worth of suspension done on his car.

I would say your car should have me in a straight line right now. Just wait until after the winter though biggrin.gif I didn't say I was leaving you anywhere confused24.gif That quote was from Mike anyways.

I don't have that much into my suspension blink.gif .

It's reliable. The only problem with compairing his to mine on an AX course is that my cars suspension is WAY different. Really just need to drive it on the street to see the difference in starting and going through the gears. And then there's another problem in the comparison with me having a TB diff and MS 3rd and 4th.

Get off the computer, quit lookin' at nekkid chicks, and git busy! av-943.gif

I might drive up for the AX.. no teener though. Maybe the wife will let me AX her Zoom Zoom.

Posted by: Eddie914 Aug 22 2008, 10:07 PM

I was hoping on making the 08/30/08 with my son to see if I could make at least one clean run ... but the teener just came down with a seized alternator/fan on the way home from the Thursday Alfa Romeo Club lapping day at Bremerton. Looks like I'll be pulling the engine/trans.

I'm out of town this weekend for a family reunion and out of state Tuesday/Wednesday on business. It doesn't look like we will make it. The M5 has some pretty tired suspension bits so it's a no-go also.

The teener performed beyond expectations at the track on Thursday (until one mile from home). I ran with two 1994 911's and a 275hp 1973 Carrera 911RS replica track car. I was expecting to be left in the dust ... especially since the 933s were far from stock and on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires, the 911RS was on Hoosiers and I was on Bridgestone SO3 tires (I was expecting rain). The relatively short course and the weight advantage of the 914/6 allowed me to keep up rather nicely. WOW! What fun ... a fast moving train of Porsche's for lap after lap.

Sorry that I most likely will NOT be out on 08/30/08.

My rat rod teener has not been on jackstands for quite a while but it had to happen sooner or later.

Thanks Rand.

So that win clinched the season for me. Now I am going to start on projects for next year. piratenanner.gif

I will post some of the pictures of the cars that were at the AX in a new thread. drunk.gif


first and formost Congrads Jon ....heres my rant.. The point system is FUCKED UP they need to take all events and total the points. it does not seem fair that someone can attend only5 events and take home first place. when other folks attend all 9 events and have to settle for 2.3or maybe 4 .I wish they would revamp the point system and not calulate a winner tell the end of the year.Therefor you wouldnt want to miss any events ..Not trying to be a whiner but damn it sucks going when you know you cant win .......So anyway thats my point of view only ...Congrads again Jon ....P.S is the pancake breakfast still on ......another P,S im on strike so there for im not at work and propable will not respond to threads as quick....Im up for pancakes and little bro too

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Sep 8 2008, 08:41 PM

Well, if you have 9 events it is the best out of 6. This year was the best 5 of 8. You have to have it that way as there are events that people can't get to. Sure I think it should be 6 out of 8 or 7 out of 9 but 8 of 8 or 9 of 9 or something like that is really not right as you have to be fair to those that can make it. Plus it makes some classes more interesting. Ours will be more interesting next year after you get that engine built and Chris starts to come out and we get a few of the other guys to come out. We do have a few really nice GTU cars that don't come out.

Thanks for the congrats Mike wink.gif

Ihope i have a new motor next season ...Being on strike sucks !no play money or should i say no money period.And hunting season just getting underway !I dont know if i wanna spend the money for things i need for the season with none coming in.I will be at the pancake breakfast and i sure hope alot of people show up! Looks like the weathers gonna be good

Posted by: Root_Werks Sep 9 2008, 02:39 PM

Sorry Troy, I just couldn't hold out financially anymore. Michelle and I wound up selling every toy we had, just everything. Paid off the IRS and medical bills. Got us back down to nothing but the house again. We're in good shape now and actually have money to do things with. Once I am done with this current 914 job (I've been doing a few lately) I should have enough to hopefully pick one up from a buddy of mine. biggrin.gif

Pete's coming down from BC so we might want to keep his drive in mind. The last time we did the Bahama Breeze, or whatever it's called, they had a 45+ minute wait and we ended up going to 2 other places down there before we finally got seated.

It's out of my area, but I'd vote for the Ram.

Hey guys. Long time no post here but I have finally got back into playing with my 914(read: Have time to smash.gif and welder.gif ) and I am cleaning out some stuff and thought some of the local guys might be interested before I go to the classifieds or Craigslist.

What are 2.0L 75-76 heat exchangers worth? $125? They are in ok condition.

What about a 2.0L 75-76 exhaust, looks like a Bursch w/ a cat delete pipe? $100??

Anyways,
Whens the next teener tuesday?

Kyle

We should do a Kitsap meet and greet! Did you know that Harvey's Hot Buttered Rum mix is MADE IN BREMERTON? Now you do...
I still need to adjust my valves and find an oil leak so I may not be in a 914. Like that is a surprise!

I think we should meet up at Kelty's place in Renton on Tuesday?

He could BBQ us up some burgers and supply us some beer3.gif

I'm not sure if he will be home but I know where he hides the key.

I think it'll be something easy to find. One bad relay caused a fuse to pop. Main power relay on the board is working, Fuel pump relay isn't working. Terminal 30 has 12VDC but isn't closing even when grounded. So I think it's term 86 that needs power checked next? I don't have a relay schematic on me.

Once that relay clicks (Tested good) I think we'll have the fuel pump working. That was the hold up. No fuel pump, even when the term on the relay board was grounded.

Yeah. I had that happen to me once in a parking lot. I just made a jump wire on the plug(from power to 86 pin?) to get the car started and get me home. In fact, thats how I met Rand's family, they were in the parking lot while I was workinig on it.

Sadly enough, they lost the final game and ended the season 17 wins-2 losses. First place, but they wanted to win the last game. Not enough people showed, so I ended up playing as well.

Sadly enough, they lost the final game and ended the season 17 wins-2 losses. First place, but they wanted to win the last game. Not enough people showed, so I ended up playing as well.

Sad the car didn't start. I have some time next week to come chase wires so I will give you a ring Rich.

Troy, wow. Did you get into the eggnog before you went over to Rich's?

me? no eggnogg. huh.gif

it's Mikey you all should be concerned with .... screwy.gif . i just report the facts shades.gif

Hey Troy, Here is the link to the videos I was talking about. I think they are funny so I hope you find them the same. Even if you don't like Will Ferrel I think you'll like them.

it was fun! and every time I get around a group of 914 guys I learn something new ....But i do have a question ?maybe we can do a 914Friday so we dont all have to head for home at 9pm because we have to get up and go to work.I didnt get home tell 1030 and i get up at 419.Just an idea ....Just think of warm summer friday nites and the burger joint and you dont have to go to work the next day. more people would be willing to show....They have an old fashion burger joint in Lakewood and in the summer lots of old classics show up friday nites...maybe we can give it a try.......PS Dan can run a BBQ pretty darn well and everyone really like the venison and i think Troy eat a wiener that was in the dirt

That's because the Northern people are the ones that actually come out. If the guys down South will come I am sure we would be up for something. How about the Southcenter area for something?

Its a bitch to drive up even from Seattle up north to Rich's house on a weekday! I get off work at 4 and then to get the 914 and drive I5 north last time was 1 hr & 1/2 to get there. Seattle proper meets I can make but the ones way up north (you guys are really Everett!) are tough just like the ones south... Thats why the rest of us don't come! chair.gif

We can meet in Chinatown anytime!!! say at Greenleaf for Vietnamese!!!

Yep, that's my car. biggrin.gif It's currently garaged at my parents place in Puyallup. I only had it up here for a week or so back in September. About two years ago I had it up here every weekend though, visiting my ex at Western. Didn't stray from the campus much save to get food though, so it didn't make it around town much.

I'm dying for spring to get here so I can bring it back up though. Definitely more fun to drive than my daily driver. However when winter's here I prefer the Infiniti. Heat and defrost are definitely nice to have. laugh.gif

Broke college student... lol I have absolutely no money to be spending on cars other than for gas. Thanks though. Although I'm pretty sure the HEs on the car are still good. Got some parts from Rhody a while back. IIRC I just need to hunt down everything forward of the firewall.

Here is a small forum where some of the local (skagit/island/whatcom) euro gear heads hang out. It's predominantly VW, but we're pretty low key and sociable. Slower pace, more laid back and less drama than Vortex. laugh.gif

Ha, It was only to let the paint dry...haha JK. Actually, I brought the valence inside to take the pics and then it was escorted to the border(aka the garage) by the wife wink.gif My buddy recommended this high temp paint that is supposedly better than most, man it sure was easy to use(no runs, no drips and dried fast) and made my crappy welding look just fine. Here is the end of the valance that did. This is supposed to be the temporary exhaust until I get my 2.0 together and get some SSIs.

I really like the sound, it has a really good note and a good growl but not to loud at all. I am actually surprised that its not crazy loud because its just a cheapo glasspack muffler and 2.25" pipe. Cruising on the freeway with the top up, it almost sounds like stock but once you get on it you can hear the difference. Top down is a bit louder but definitely not obnoxious. I'll rev it up at the next teener tuesday.

If you want Mike, I think I can make it down there tonight and help if you like. Not too bad a day for the drive.

Also, for any other teeners, I have a lot of free time lately. If anyone needs a skilled set of hands to help out, let me know. PM me if you don't have my number.

If people are up to it, I think tomorrow is do-able. Anyone else?

mike prob has to resize them. i forgot to bring mine that has the handy floppy disc feature. anyway...

there are some questions to how the smallest of the 3 out of chris' ss fuel line set fits in the equation. on orig 6 cars, does the supply line reduce after it exits the center tunnel or the pump? mike has a nice car. his fuel tank is ultra clean. still has some type of protective coating on it. the strainer sock needs to be replaced. a local shop has them on the shelve. mike is hesitant to remove the stock plastic lines until he knows exactly what the story is. can't say as i blame him.

Posted by: sixnotfour Mar 7 2009, 10:54 AM

Be sure to paint the stainless so it looks plastic CW.

I have not moved the pump so i really dont know.The only lines we took off where the ones under the tank.It is the stock pump if that helps

Posted by: rhodyguy Mar 8 2009, 12:30 PM

i'll see you monday afternoon mike. you might pm CFW and check on that short section of ss fuel line. we can still r&r the 2 long lines. that's the portion goes easier with a second set of eyes and hands. with any luck you'll make it to b-ton next weekend.

mike, you should move the fuel line question out of this thread and start a new one. chris and ed prob won't see it. when you go to 2quicks inquire about the fibre washers that seal the tank outlets. sometimes they survive removal, sometimes not. iirc jack sourced a like size at mclendon's.

Well the XXX was a good time. 'Course NONE of you all would likely know since only ONE 914 showed-up. . . (I wonder who that was. . .) poke.gif Tons of cars, good food and no rain. . . It sprinkled a bit on my ride home, but I checked it out; the wipers wiped and my 914 DIDN'T MELT. . . It even thanked me for the high-speed exercise stirthepot.gif I hope to see more someone at the next get together rolleyes.gif

DAMNIT! I completely spaced it. slap.gif It was too nice Saturday, so I ended up driving down to pay Rich a visit. Sunday I got mired up in the Mustang since I slacked off on Saturday. Getting the brakes and wheel bearings up to snuff for next weekend's IRDC track day at Bremerton. Evidently the Mustang thinks it's a 914, as it is completly in the air on jackstands since yesterday afternoon. It's spent more time on jackstands than my teener has (so far).

I was sick all weekend. Didn't get a thing done! I was feeling better yesterday, but wa too tired to make the trip to Issaquah. I hope to be back to work on cars tonight. I need to get this Predule finished so I can get back to the 914

Let me find the link. Deadline is coming up, but you can probably send Steve an email and as long as you get the registration form and check in the mail today, you will probably be ok. Otherwise you should be able to sign up that morning, as long as there are spots available.

Figured I'd make a brief mention in here for the individuals that don't make it to the Paddock forum here, I have posted up a link for the Chuckanut Sports Car Club '09 Autocross season. I know Jon saw it over there. It's probably more of interest to those in Whatcom, Island and Skagit counties as the site is at the closed down Blaine Municipal Airport, just this side of Canada.

So this is kind of a late post, but I've been REALLY busy with classes.

I went up to Graham's Restaurant in Glacier for dinner with some friends and family on the 15th. Saw someone outside looking over my car on the side of the road and trying to get a peek at the engine. When I went to leave the cook told me that the guy lived up around here and has a couple of his own. Was wondering if it might've been one of you north end guys.

It's not normally very bad at Blaine either. Every time I go through there it's been 5-15 minutes. And you can make it down here in about two hours from the border if traffic is halfway decent.

First off thanks again for the parts Mike. I'm stoked that I'll finally have heat!
Was good to see you all and can't wait til the quarter's over so I can start attending teener tuesdays again.

Mike put on a nice little shindig for us yesterday. beerchug.gif

Brand new gas grille, great burgers & dogs & lot's of free car parts!

Mikes message was " if you need the part take it ,just don't sell it", I left with a trunkload.

Very nice to hang with everyone, Steve's car looks fantastic !

Kelty needs to post some pics , fix my door handle poke.gif & give me back my artichokes!

Thanks for the great afternoon Mike!

More than a dozen guys and two sawzalls ganging up on one poor teener. Parts and body panels flying in all directions. No new inijuries were reported but there were lots of stories about old wounds. "He who dies with the most scars wins"...that sort of thing.

Here's the engine about to fall. Jeff's pants don't look like they are far behind.

Engine down....pants stayed up. Whew!

The oil cooler grill lettering is pretty cool too.

Ya. Just picked the car up from my parents garage two weeks ago. Due to lack of funding, I can only insure one vehicle at a time now, so the 914 was parked for the winter. Definitely nice to have it back up here. Went on a cruise to Winthrop last Sunday and enjoyed every minute of it.

[Rant]
Why don't people with big SUVs leave extra space to stop their big ass trucks in?!?!
headbang.gif ar15.gif fighting19.gif boom.gif fyou1.gif
About a half hour ago my daily driver almost became my parts car! My roommate needed to drop his truck off in Arlington for his dad and asked if I'd tail him south and bring him back to Bham. When we got down to Arlington, he suggested taking highway 9 north as it's alot more fun than I5. We're about ten minutes from my apartment when a little first gen Eclipse slams on their brakes and comes to a complete stop for a deer that's standing a few feet off the road. I pull up and stop behind him and shortly after hear the sound of locked tires sliding on the pavement. I glance up in my review to see a Toyota 4Runner sliding at the back of the 914. I start yelling and wait for the impact. Luckily the Toyota driver swerved to avoid me at the last minute. He ends up hitting a concrete guard rail on the side of the road and sliding up beside me. I was watching in my passenger side mirror as he came within 8 inches of my rear passenger side flare. By the time he came to a stop his front bumper was next to my front flare. I hate people that don't pay attention or don't leave enough room when they're following. dry.gif

So much for the close call. Got rear ended on I5 on my way to Puyallup on Thursday. Luckily it was in stopped traffic north of Seattle. The guy behind me took his foot of the brake in his Toyota Highlander while talking to his passenger and rolled into the back of the 914. And I'm proud to say there was absolutely NO damage. biggrin.gif I was sure when I got out to check the damage that the 916 bumper would've been shattered at the very least. It's a lot more durable than I thought. Thank goodness he was only idling. I'm thinking I need a rubber bumper with tits. lol-2.gif

Definitely. I enjoy the Baker runs. My family owns a condo up in the Snowater complex just past Glacier so I'm up there all the time. I'd suggest getting the south end guys to head up for a cruise to Winthrop, but I found when I lived in the south end it's tough to get a few of them motivated to drive. poke.gif

You sure? I don't think they ever opened Artist's Point last summer. The gate was closed at the upper lodge every time I went up.

And a quick warning to everyone else. They sand the hell out of that road from just past Glacier to the lodge parking lots during ski season but don't bother to run street sweepers to clean it up for the summer traffic, so watch your corner speed or you may slide through one of the switchbacks.

Posted by: NORD Jun 15 2009, 01:52 PM

The Artist Point was open last year, I had three runs up there. They repaved the
road 3 years ago on the lower section and it is still nice, I've been up twice
this year already. The Upper section is scheduled to start clearing the road the
!st week in July and then its best to wait till the snow melts back from the
edges of the road and then there is no water on the road that can make it
slippery as you come around the corners. there is only one wet area on the lower section now, I was up last Saturday

Welcome to the Club! Looking forward to meeting you. As far as parts, the classified section is a great help. You can read through or post a want to buy (WTB) add.
For technical help, a quick search on the site or you can post a question. We will all help. Some responses should be taken with a grain of salt.
What was the color combo on your LE?

The color combo was Black/Yellow, it's a Bumblebee and I will paint it again in the original color. I will drop the engine this weekend and then the work on the body starts, I'm currently looking for a new fuel tank because it's rusted inside (only 3 Gallons where in and that for 20 years).

I'll bet you could do a POR-15 tank treatment and it would be good as new. It's worth looking into anyway. It's amazing stuff.


Posted by: effutuo101 Jul 8 2009, 11:04 AM

I just took a motorcycle tank to Performance Radiator. They boiled it out and coated it. It came out really nice. They have a store down in the south. Look them up. Josh VanDusen at 425.252.7330 can give you the number for the southern stores. Tell him the guy with the BMW motorcycle Tank sent you.

Posted by: rdauenhauer Jul 8 2009, 11:38 AM

Ive had them boil our a couple of tanks for me. Ive used interior tank coatings before (motorcycle) and have never been happy with the results...longer term. Clean it to steel Kill the rust and fill it with gas.

Hi Kelty,

thanks for the offer but I bought one of Ebay on Friday for $ 45 shipped, it's a complete setup and based on the statement of the seller in good shape. I will check when the tank arrives, maybe that I come back to your offer.

Yesterday I dropped the engine and the body work will start today, I got the bolts of the CV joints open (Vice Grip and a lot of WD40), now I'm waiting for the sheet metal for the battery tray. Might be able to host a teener tuesday here at my place in the next week, what does it require besides soemthing to drink?

Juergen

Hey Juergen, great find

Thet will be painting this one for my mom next week.

Is there something else?

Hey I want to host a Tuesday too. I need to go through all the rubber and figure out what is good nough to clean up and put back on the car and what needs to be replaced. In another week I should have the complete suspension back from Eric and will really need help bolting it up. Then the car can be set on the ground again.

Hey does anybody have a set of 5 lug wheels with tires I can borrow while I'm tring to figure out what to buy. They only need to be good enough to hold the car up. Without an engine, I won't be driving anywhere

I thought about your idea of leaving town and took off myself. I went the other way, to Longbeach and watched people make art out of sand. It made for a cooler weekend.

Tuesday at my shop is still on. I'll be there at 5:00. The address is 3534 C street NE in Auburn. I received a pallet of goodies from Eric Shea on Friday and if I can figure out the new bolts and washer I need, maybe we can get my car back on the ground!

Yes we had tons of fun!


A spirited drive , ask Nate (aircooledtechguy) about "the incident".

Getting the chassis off of the multi-painted rotessire was a challenge,lot's of paint on the bolt threads,

Billy was just a little nervous but his beautiful car is comfortably resting on its jackstands.

Had a great time at Billy's shop. We spent most of the time getting it off the rotisserie so no wheels on yet, but a big step forward. Not a single scratch as an outwardly nervous Billy looked on. biggrin.gif

For those who have not yet seen his car in person, the photos he's posted do NOT do it justice. Very impressive thus far!! Thanks again for the Pizza and Barley pop. I had a great time.

BTW, Jeff, I dropped of the light grills @ Eurotech w/ Stephanie. The car looks fantastic!!

Hey I heard that. Here's my opinion. After the mud is sanded close to shape, let it sit a month or two and let that stuff cure and shrink back. Then finsih sand it. Try partly filling a paint cup with the stuff and set it on a shelf. You'll have a hocky puck.

And a big thanks to all you came out. I was scared that we'd drop my baby on the ground, but everyone was very careful. This weekend I need to get some assembly time scheduled!

Sorry I've been so out of touch lately. Yup, Chris is correct, life's been more than shall we say....shitty the last year. The economy hasn't been kind to us at all. We've downsized from our house to renting a little condo unit. I'd be lucky if I could pull a dollar out of my bootyshake.gif right now. laugh.gif

Anyway, still in school, even during the summer....kid has a license and an E30 now (Is that were all my $$$ went?) and Michelle and I are doing really well and enjoying the summer.

I currently have:
1988 Dodge Raider 2.6 5spd for $500 I picked up a while ago.
1988 Formula Fiero I got for free about 6 months ago. Found an aluminum block caddy V8 for $200 and bolted that in. Shit, the thing is quick! Gets around 23mpg to boot. But for a total investment of about $1300, I cannot complain. I couldn't touch a rusty pass side long from a 914 for $1300. huh.gif

Maybe someday when things get a little better, I'll score another 914. For now, just happy to have a roof over our heads. I'd crash one of the teener Tuesdays,,,,but in what,,,,the Fiero? huh.gif

Posted by: Eddie914 Aug 7 2009, 04:59 PM

Dan,

Good to hear from you.

Come on out on a Tuesday night. Bring the Fiero. The Fiero is about the closest thing to a 914 the American auto companies ever built.

IIRC you always wanted to build a 914 V8.

Be a "poser" and put Porsche badges on the Fiero ... it looks better than some of the rebodied teeners on the road (or on jackstands).

Best of Luck,

Eddie

Dont really matter Dan ...Hell i drive a Honda Gaylude some times and Troy drives a metrosexual lol-2.gif Rich drives his Ford truck as does Jack ..Kevin drives a PT loser.Nate rolls on Pizza cutters.Pete Stevers does drive down in his 914 with lousy Canada beer and when Kurt comes down and picks up Mark and he tears the freaking door handle off his side of the car at the fruit stand ....GOOD TO HEAR FROM YA

The car's on the ground and I'm serving beer to any of you guys who'd like to come by tonight and celebrate with me. Opps, my new employer call and I'm going out to dinner with him.

Maybe next week

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Aug 24 2009, 04:33 PM

Hey guys! Been a LONG time again since I've been on here. Glad to see everyone coming along on projects! I might be back in the teener game here soon. Too bad I will only be able to enjoy for a few weeks before I ship for basic. Going to look at a teener tomorrow down in Tumwater with Steve(quadracerx).

Billy, when do you want me to come down and help with your car? Call me anytime. 253-304-5171

How about an Artist Point drive this coming weekend? I was up last thursday

and there is a little construction on the lower side about mile post 30. If you

don't know Artist Point is the end of the Mt. Baker Highway, the lower is

a nice curvey drive the last 18 miles is like a fast autocross, waves and

hairpins, so much fun.

From I 5 in Bellingham up to the top is about 58 miles. at about 20 miles

out it gets fun.

North end people think we can show the Southend people some fun?

We could all stage out of my place. driving.gif

If we can get enough people that'd be fun. My teener is part way torn down in the parking lot. So if I can make it I'd be in the Evo instead. If there's not much interest I'll probably just go down to visit my parents.

I can vouch that it's an awesome drive in a teener. My aunt own's a condo in Glacier that I borrow as much as possible so I've put in my time on the roads up there in all my vehicles. But the 914 is definitely the most fun up there.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Aug 26 2009, 01:29 PM

Sounds like fun guys. Unfortunately I am tied up with working three jobs now. The only time I get off is for AXs. Other than that I need to spend my time with my family. Maybe one of these days I'll be able to have a sitter for the kids and bring my wife in the teener.

Only time I won't drive mine is in snow. . . The 914 goes from great handling to the worst handling car in history by adding snow/ice; just plain scary. So other than snow I'm an all-weather-teener when an event is happening. smile.gif

Saturday sounds good to me Now for a time that everyone can live with. I'm very flexible so I'll let others with commitments barter on the time. . .

Accelerated up behind the Miata to pass. By the time I saw the Taurus I was already next to the Miata. Tried to slow to get back in behind him but he braked in time with me. Was just trying to get up there to lead the way since the guy in the S2000 disappeared. Normally you don't want to be passing people and get them in between you and the group you're supposed to be leading... Next time I'll just hold my place in line.

Accelerated up behind the Miata to pass. By the time I saw the Taurus I was already next to the Miata. Tried to slow to get back in behind him but he braked in time with me.

It is frustrating when a slower car is holding up our fun. Passing is tough and generally not worth the risk, thankfully no one got hurt.

Us older guy's have already learned the lesson that you learned yesterday.

Nate is thanking you for your service. (just ask him)

Ya... don't pass when the road lines are missing. Can't tell what's a passing zone and what's not up there at the moment due to the repaving. 2nd lesson. I have to really slow down when I'm driving up there with you guys. Not used to driving with a group up there. Or having anywhere near that amount of traffic on the road. That was the largest number of cars I've seen on the way up in a long time.

Sorry I couldn't make the Baker drive. I had already committed the GLi to the annual SK BBQ. Guess now I'll have to try to make it down south for one now. flag.gif

For those who missed it; you really missed out. Thank you NORD for setting this up and hosting. Perfect weather up here for spirited top-off driving. driving.gif

Next year we really need to make this an overnight thing so we can get two trips up and back (one after 5pm and the following morning early so there's no traffic). My son is already bugging me as to when we can go back and do it again!!

If I'm in Bellingham and not swamped with work or school work, I'm in for whenever. Should be taking my tools back to Bellingham this week to get the teener running again. Had to keep my priorities straight though. The car with heat, defrost, no seal leaks and more passenger space had to be fixed first.

Sorry, this tuesday will not work for me, would love to come down and see your progress. If you can't get it done this week let me know and I might be able to come down on the weekend or next week.

Posted by: aircooledtechguy Nov 5 2009, 10:42 AM

Anyone up for a get together this Tuesday (Nov 10th)??? This may be the last time before the silly season is upon us and everyone's schedule is loaded up.

A friend of mine recently opened up a brew pub in W.Seattle called The Porterhouse California located on California St by the theater. They've got 21 taps of rotating micro-brews from all over the west coast and great food too. http://seattle.citysearch.com/profile/603222432/seattle_wa/porterhouse_pub_alehouse.html#profileTab-maps

Anyone game for a 5pm-5:30pm meet-up?? I'll be coming from Anacortes with one empty seat if anyone from up north wants to ride along. . .

I may be up for it but my car is broken until I get it out of the trailer and put the new bolts in the CV. I broke the bolts at the last AX sad.gif . Three got loose and the other 3 couldn't hold blink.gif . I'll just drive my daily if we do meet up.

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Nov 5 2009, 11:44 AM

Okay, strike that. I will be in Buffalo on a business trip for three days. Maybe the next week?

Posted by: Eddie914 Nov 5 2009, 04:15 PM

It's kind of a long drive for me ... it must be at least 1.5 miles!

21 taps ... my kind of place!

I'm in!

If I can't get one of my six cars started, I'll just walk or ride one of my three bikes.



Eddie

Posted by: Eddie914 Nov 5 2009, 04:22 PM

The Porterhouse must have moved into the location of the former Zaffrano Cafe.

I'll be sure to make a reconnaissance run through the 21 beer taps and submit my report ASAP.

I wish I could have been there last night. The Thunderbirds game was lame. I don't think there was one sucessful pass the entire game. Lots of slap shots that were directly into the goalie's mit.

I'm so please to see another car in the air. Its so much easier to get at every part when you can flip them around. Lots better on the back and neck too. I found myself sitting in an old chair many times with the car tipped at an glge that put the work right in front of me.

So what's the next step on the car and do I get to help?

I've spent plenty of time in the garage getting hammered, I mean hammering on the Orange One.

An update:

Got most of the dents in the bottom out, cleaned it up nice!

Got one of the motor mounts off & all tidied up.

I need to get some paint, I'll do the bottom & wheel wells soon and then someone else ( Rich)can get some use out of the Barby.

I'm thinking of a Rich Johnson or MadDog mount for Christmas & then inviting some skill over for a beer.gif ?

Maybe another Teener Friday in the near future?'

I am up for it. I will be driving the Nissan for a little while longer. Not this Friday. Hockey game with Angela, Kieran and his girlfriend.


I'll be there too.

Where will you be sitting Jon? Let me know. I will find out from Angela where we will be.

Tuesday is looking good right now.

Posted by: 70_914 Jan 27 2010, 12:15 PM

I am interested in meeting some fellow 914 addicts, but I just wanted to know the "rules":

Is there a preset group that is able to go to these events, or can anybody drop in.
My car is currently not operational, am I flogged if I show up in a Jeep or SHO?
I have not seen postings detailing exactly where... but I have not read through all 147 pages either...

Thanks

Kevin

Posted by: DNHunt Jan 27 2010, 12:48 PM

I'd love to see Billy's too. Tuesdays don't work for me. I've got a class I'm taking on Tuesday nights thru May. I hope there is another opportunity.

Hey Kevin; No rules. No specific group. All that would take additional effort on our part biggrin.gif If you like 914s, want to meet up occasionally with a fun group of people, see their cars (if they're not on jack-stands) AND it fits in your schedule come on by and introduce yourself!!

I won't be able to make this Tuesday's get together. beer3.gif one for me. . .

Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 27 2010, 01:09 PM

Don't ask Troy. He will tell Kevin that he has to bring the beer...for everybody...until somebody new shows up!

Show up. introduce yourself and get to know everybody. This group grows and shrinks with the season. Summer time is around the corner and everybody wants to get out and drive. We like those Tuesday evening drives during summer.

I want to go but I don't know what I will be driving. The 914 should be driven but that depends on the weather. Otherwise if you want to carpool I'm good with that.

Posted by: Eddie914 Jan 27 2010, 06:42 PM

I might even have to show up. I nominate myself to the official duties of "be lazy and drink" since I'm still recovering from hernia surgery. Everyone else can spin wrenches and lift heavy stuff.

If the weather is mild I will bring the 914/6 Outlaw Ratrod. The forecast is for 40% chance of rain ... if it's too wet I will have to bring the other German Ratrod.

Cheers,

Couple questions:
It is called teener Tuesday, but it is on the 6th correct?
Do I need to bring anything? I am an ASE certified Automotive Technician and have an excess of tools, and I also have a 1970 that I am about to haul off to the crusher with a lot of parts still on it.

The "steel" structure from the dash fell apart when I touched the screws that held the knee pad on. There is so much rust in it that the screw, speed nut, screwdriver and a piece of the knee pad went through the bottom of the dash. My reaction at that point (after finding a 73 that is in MUCH better shape, but needs mechanical work) went like:

I am keeping my calipers and I like the idea of the BBQ being made out of my car so the fenders should stay on it.... but I know where there is a 914 in the junkyard. There is a rapidly approaching deadline on getting the car out of my yard- as soon as my new one shows up on the trailer the old one needs to become scarce. 1 motorcycle, 1 SHO, 1 B2200 and 1 914 project is about the limit my wife can be expected to endure without going Lorena Bobbit on me.....

while you're in there and the links are disconnected from the bar, see if it (the bar) rattles around. you might need those bushings too, they're prob as old as the ones in the droplinks.

Holy worn bushing Mike!! I'll bet changing those makes a big difference in how your car handles!! That probably translates into an extra inch in travel out at the wheel before the bar even begins to limit sway. . . Would there be any advantage to using silicone bronze bushings that won't distort with pressure and self lubricate??

I can probably swing something up north. It'll likely be 7 or so before I can make it to Everett area. I actually got the new bumper and lip mounted yesterday. I'll just need to raise the front a little more (it settled a bit yesterday) and get the headlights adjusted. Let me know when/where everyone is meeting at.

Rich - It's the same old 20 footer Maaco paint job. It does have some rubberized undercoating paint on the front under the bumper now from some rust work.

Tops are in Roy.....
I drive an SHO Taurus and the seat does not fold down.....

Did I mention that the tops are in Roy?

I will see what I can do, but it is unlikely since I get off work at 5:30 in Auburn and Roy is 1:15 from here.

I go into work once or twice a week in Woodinville from Puyallup normally from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM. If your parts aren't to big and greasy, I could possibly meet up around lunch time and exchange the parts for you guys. let me know if I can help.

I drove the 914 in today so I'm up for meeting.

Troy, if it sounds like just a couple of north-end guys, maybe we should move it north so NORD doesn't have to drive so far?

Some place in Everett, theres a couple of cool little places down by the water front, Not Anthony's, but the little place close to it.

Or that place just next to the hotel, right on the dock.

I'm going out to the Sumas Kart track today to get some info.

No, I have a factory bar with drop links and brackets but I probably need new bushings. It's a '74 2.0 so the tabs are on the A-arms. Obviously the tank has to come out and drilling and welding ensue.

Will this installation have anything to do with alignment? I'm having Tim Kornacki do an align this Saturday.

Posted by: Root_Werks May 11 2010, 01:31 PM

No, it's independant of alignment.

So who's in for something somewhere tonight? Headcount:

Root - Me
NORD
Jon?
Marc?
Troy?


I say if we can get at least 4 of us commited to meeting somewhere, let's do it!

Even if Marc brings his 914 up to Jons and we all stand around and watch them work on it. biggrin.gif

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT May 11 2010, 01:36 PM

Can't bring the car around until I have the couch out of there. Wife's rules screwy.gif laugh.gif . No, I would love to help with this though Marc and it will not harm your allignment at all.

Tonight I may be able to do something. I need to do a water pump on our Honda first though.

Posted by: KELTY360 May 11 2010, 01:48 PM

Here's a possible idea for tonight. Four years ago I bought Mahles w/new tires from a guy in Edmonds. He was also selling his 914 because of an ailment, don't know exactly what, that has left him wheelchair bound. He asked me to bring by the car to show it to him after I got it painted. I contacted him last week and am going out there late this afternoon with plans to get to wherever we decide to meet afterwards.

I would have to check with him to see if he's up to having a group of people show up, but I'm pretty sure he would be absolutely thrilled to have a bunch of 914 guys show up at his house. He has also recently purchase an Oly Blue '74 2.0 in unmolested original condition, just to have one.

We could grab a bite somewhere either before or after. What do you think?

Well, tried to get to the meeting. Had some trans problems in Lynnwood. Thank you to all that took time to check out my trans "issue". I owe you! Got the car home tonight via flat bed. I will start poking around to see what I can find on Wednesday after work. I will post pictures right away. It was great to have the cavalry called in. Best- Mark

Posted by: Root_Werks May 12 2010, 08:32 AM

You'll get the tranny thing figured out. I think Troy was on to the issue. Get that nose cone pulled and the problem will most likely become clear.

Garret is a really nice guy and his 914 is amazing! It still baffles the mind these "Barn finds" that can still be had.

I think NORD took some pictures and maybe will post some here for us?

I of course, left my camera in the garage after driving all the way home to get it. rolleyes.gif

I think it'd be a great day to gather up a bunch of the locals, BBQ at Garrets and have a fuel line replacement party on his 914.

chowtime.gif

Posted by: effutuo101 May 12 2010, 09:53 AM

I am down with that. I have a Matchbox 914 for him the next time we go.

Posted by: KELTY360 May 12 2010, 10:37 AM

Fun time for all. Well except for Mark, who had to use a AAA flatbed to get home. Better luck next next time; look forward to meeting you.

Garrett was obviously enjoying the visit. He was diagnosed with MS in the early 90's and is confined to his bed and a wheelchair. MS is a disease that ravages the body but leaves the mind sharp and clear. It has definitely left his sense of humor intact. He has a long history with Porsches, having owned a large number of 356s and even done some concours judging in that arena. He is devoted to 914s and has recently acquired a survivor '74 2.0 even though he can't drive it.

The car is remarkable: original Olympic Blue paint with a deep rich shine and no breaks in the finish; fully loaded with f & r sways, chrome bumpers, OG tool kit, dealer license plate frame, etc. The car is tucked away in a small garage, so it wasn't possible to take the photos the car deserves.

Note the original license plate frame. The Santa Clara, CA dealership is now known as Sunset Creek Porsche.

Attached Image

Body is impressively straight with only a few door dings, etc. Dan noticed that the trunk lid was amazingly flat.

Attached Image

Always nice to see 4 lug Fuchs with their factory finish.

I agree with Dan that we need to organize a working BBQ to help sort out some driveability and storage related issues so that Garrett can ride in it. He's got a great yard to park a bunch of teeners and I'm sure he would really enjoy the group.

Posted by: aircooledtechguy May 12 2010, 11:04 AM

Sounds like a great time had by all. I'm bummed I couldn't make it. Garrett sounds like a heck of a guy with a really nice car. I'd definitely be up for a work party/BBQ in the future. Please advertise the next get-together at Garrett's 3-4 days out so folks (like me) can make plans to be there.

Posted by: KELTY360 May 12 2010, 11:28 AM

We'll have plenty of notice next time Nate. This started as a visit I was making on a 4 year old promise which coincidentally dovetailed with a spur of the moment Tuesday Teener gathering. For a while it looked like it was going to be a bit of a cluster fuch with traffic delays, tranny rescue missions, etc. In the end it became an evening of meeting new friends, munching on great pizza and inspecting a fascinating car. Can't ask for much more on short notice.

I talked to Garret last night by phone. Seems like a very nice guy who is extremely excited to get this car up and running. I told him I would be happy to help and it looks like I will be getting his fuel lines in order next week. Once that is done it should be a few minor things and it will be all sorted. Maybe June 1st we should plan on a Teener Tuesday BBQ were we get him in there and take him for a spin beerchug.gif

That's great, Jon. I'd be in for that. Instead of a BBQ, we could also just order take out pizza from Portofino which is next door to their house and very good grub as Nord, Dan, Michelle, Troy and I can verify. Chris and Kiernan blew their chance at some tasty grub, but they did make it over to Garrett's. chowtime.gif

72 is tail shift or side shift? I have an extra tail shift from a 1970 car that I am not using. I drove the car and know that the transmission works through 3rd (car had very questionable brakes, didn't drive too far). I would sell it for $75 if you need it.

Actually, much of that stretch of road has been re-paved over the last couple of years. There could be a couple of stages to drive. One ending around Mukeltio Speedway if Garett felt that was enough for one trip. Or stretch it out a little more and head down to the beach.

It's all slower backroad stuff anyway and pretty easy drive. Even in traffic, not too many travel it (slow speed limits).

we can run up olympic view to muk speedway down to muk and along muk bvd up toward everett then circle around back to edmonds.... all 35-45 mph roads.


Garrets wheel chair is pretty big. i don't know if he has a small light weight one for trips or not. but mark can ask him about that stuff right mark?!

Well, tried to get to the meeting. Had some trans problems in Lynnwood. Thank you to all that took time to check out my trans "issue". I owe you! Got the car home tonight via flat bed. I will start poking around to see what I can find on Wednesday after work. I will post pictures right away. It was great to have the cavalry called in. Best- Mark


72 is tail shift or side shift? I have an extra tail shift from a 1970 car that I am not using. I drove the car and know that the transmission works through 3rd (car had very questionable brakes, didn't drive too far). I would sell it for $75 if you need it.

June 1st is starting to sound like another get-together. chowtime.gif


Yeah, I can see a drive with Garrett riding shotgun with an escort of 914s - more the merrier. We need to find a nice route close by. There used to be nice stretches north of his place but that was years ago and it's probably filled in a lot. driving.gif


Actually, much of that stretch of road has been re-paved over the last couple of years. There could be a couple of stages to drive. One ending around Mukeltio Speedway if Garett felt that was enough for one trip. Or stretch it out a little more and head down to the beach.

Yeah, we'd have to have a support vehicle for the chair if we want to stop on the cruise. I'll check with Garrett and Patricia about their preferences.

Posted by: KELTY360 May 16 2010, 11:46 AM

Garrett called me yesterday to thank us for the good time we brought him on Tuesday. When I asked him about the logistics of a drive he indicated that it would be best to start and end at his place without a food stop along the way. He doesn't have a BBQ, so it sounds like the best thing would be to cruise and then order pizza. The June 1st date sounds good to him, but he'll check with Patricia also.

So, we're tentatively on for Tues., June 1 in Edmonds.

Is that enough warning Nate? poke.gif

hi nord, i've been lazy. i have a mystery engine ready to install. if the dyno sheet on it is correct, it should be fairly peppy. meeting with a physical therapist at 7:30am and my doc at 9 to review the lastest set of xrays. a deteriorating rotator cuff matter has gotten to the point where i can't nurse it any longer. bad, real bad. riding in a car, setting at the computer, i couldn't endure the drive to federal way without the benefit of vicodan. i hope to be setting an appointment for the surgery soon. dealing Group Heath is a real hassle. being house bound sucks.

Fun time for all. Well except for Mark, who had to use a AAA flatbed to get home. Better luck next next time; look forward to meeting you.

Garrett was obviously enjoying the visit. He was diagnosed with MS in the early 90's and is confined to his bed and a wheelchair. MS is a disease that ravages the body but leaves the mind sharp and clear. It has definitely left his sense of humor intact. He has a long history with Porsches, having owned a large number of 356s and even done some concours judging in that arena. He is devoted to 914s and has recently acquired a survivor '74 2.0 even though he can't drive it.

The car is remarkable: original Olympic Blue paint with a deep rich shine and no breaks in the finish; fully loaded with f & r sways, chrome bumpers, OG tool kit, dealer license plate frame, etc. The car is tucked away in a small garage, so it wasn't possible to take the photos the car deserves.

Note the original license plate frame. The Santa Clara, CA dealership is now known as Sunset Creek Porsche.

Attached Image

Body is impressively straight with only a few door dings, etc. Dan noticed that the trunk lid was amazingly flat.

Attached Image

Always nice to see 4 lug Fuchs with their factory finish.

Attached Image

I agree with Dan that we need to organize a working BBQ to help sort out some driveability and storage related issues so that Garrett can ride in it. He's got a great yard to park a bunch of teeners and I'm sure he would really enjoy the group.


Update on the Tail Shif Trans probelm. Cone got pulled and lots of things point to a blown transmission. What is the cost for a rebuild? Not a happy guy at this point.

Posted by: messix May 19 2010, 08:03 PM

you need to order the dr evil tranny rebuild video.

then when you know what is bad in the tranny put the call out to us puget sound teeners for what you need to fix it and we''l come up with it.

i have a tired side shifter tranny in the garage that at least needs 1st 2nd gear sycros.

$75 gets the 1970 tail shift transmission out of my storage lean-to. I drove the car and know that it worked through R-1-2-3. Car had no plates and bad brakes, so didn't go any faster or further than around the block a few times... biggrin.gif

Nope. My cars are both 4 cylinder, and not 2.0. They are VW, and I am an air cooled VW freak.

Need to find a way to put a VW logo on the hood... just to get under the skin of all the driving glove and Porsche leatherette jacket wearing pricks. biggrin.gif

Used to tell the joke about the porcupine and the Corvette owner, and everybody else used to give me crap about the joke working for Porsche drivers also. Didn't think that was true until I joined the club and interacted with some of the members (and I do mean members) who take themselves too serious.

What is the difference between a Corvette and a porcupine?

I should have seen that one.

I actually agree with the VW more than Porsche. Not often, but once in a while someone will come up and ask what the 914 is. VW is my answer. If they keep staring at it, then I offer up "It's a type 47". They usually nod like 'oh yeah, makes sense' and walk away. screwy.gif

I actually dislike the PORSCHE lettering on the engine lid as well as the hood crest. They will both get removed, someday. wink.gif

If the tranny shifts fine into R, 1st & 2nd, there's probably no problem with it at all. In fact, I don't recall anyone at Dr. Evil's tranny clinic having any issues with their 3rd-5th gears (sliders bands or syncros). In fact the 3rd -5th sliders, syncros and syncro bands were scavenged from folks spare trannys to fix all the 1st & 2nd problems. driving.gif

So I talked with Garrett about a plan for Tuesday, June 1. Weather permitting, we want to get him into his car for a little cruise through the area with an escort of 914s. The logistics of getting him into the car require that the top be off, so if it rains we'll have to make a plan B.

Plan A would be for us to meet at his house any time after 6:00pm with a departure of 6:30 to cruise for half an hour or so. We would then come back to has place and order up some pizza from next door and have dinner in his back yard.

His address is 1427 Olympic View Drive, Edmonds

Keep us posted on the tranny. driving.gif

So I know we figured on the pizza place next door so I'm not planning on bringing any food, just money.......for food, tools and things to help wrench on his 914.

Hopefully the weather gets a little better by the 1st. Should be a good time!

Got the tranny in. Car is drivable. R-1-2-3-4-5 work. 2nd is a bit squirly. Really soft touch to get it in 2nd. Impossible to downshift to 2nd. Other than that...works ok. Back on the road.



Glad to hear that my $75 pig-in-a-poke transmission lived up to expectations! Now I don't have to give back your money biggrin.gif

Good luck on the bleeding. Do you need help?

Thank you for the offer. beer.gif I going to make a sacrifice to the gods of air expulsion this evening and then give it another go on Saturday. We'll see if them there gods are smiling.

Posted by: KELTY360 Jun 1 2010, 08:38 AM

We're looking good for Plan A. Meet at Garrett's around 6pm for a little cruise leaving at 6:30. When we get back we can order pizza from next door and chow down on the lawn. Bring chairs.

His address is 1427 Olympic view Dr., Edmonds.

In case anyone needs to reach me, my phone# is 425.255.2556

See you there. driving.gif

Am I right in assuming that Garrett's car is up and running now?? I was under the impression that we still needed to fix a couple small things prior to cruising. . . I'm in either way.

Posted by: Root_Werks Jun 1 2010, 09:32 AM

Fuel lines.

That was it I believe, he may have already had that done though.

I'm still bringing my cover-alls and a couple of tools just in case.

Posted by: KELTY360 Jun 1 2010, 09:50 AM

Not sure the status. Jon would know. I think he was going to be replacing the lines in the engine bay over the weekend. Bring tools in case we need to wrench.

I was all fuel soaked last night and got most of the lines under the car changed. Just need to get two in place and then it is simply to top lines left. I did suggest he get the tunnel lines from Tangerine but his are still nice and soft and look very nice.

My wife sprained her ankle very bad last Monday so I haven't had the time unfortunately. I will be there tonight and hopefully will have the bottom linesd done before people show up.

You guys should see the underside of this car thought. SOLID as I have never seen. There isn't any rust. None. zero.

Posted by: KELTY360 Jun 1 2010, 11:30 PM

Things didn't go exactly as planned due to weather. It drizzled just enough to make a cruise unworkable, but we had a good time anyway. Garrett's place is just beautiful, especially with spring in full bloom.

Jon got the fuel lines replaced and after a quick battery charge it was time for Garrett's time machine of a 914 to emerge from the garage.

Well said Marc. Can't really add a thing to that. It was a great evening w/ Garrett and his wife; Thanks again for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home and car. Next time we'll get him a cruise in his car for sure.

Kudos to Jon for all his hard work getting all those fuel lines replaced. beerchug.gif

Thanks to all for showing my friend Erik (the "914 virgin") a nice time as well. We made big strides to ensure he gets a 914 in the future. It's amazing at just how easy it can be to turn folks to the dark side. . . av-943.gif

Posted by: Root_Werks Jun 2 2010, 08:42 AM

It was a really good Teener Tuesday event. That 914 is amazing!

As said, good job to Jon for getting things squared away, it fired right up, no more fuel leaks!

I have some pictures myself I'll probably load up tonight.

It was a blast. Garrett and his wife are two gems that are great additions to our 914 family. His car is one of the purest 914s I have ever seen. I can't wait to stop all the oil leaks and see what Kim is able to do with the paint. Kim is also a very great guy. (He is Garrett's partner in the car) beerchug.gif

Jon

Welcome back to the Teener World!! I can see you are going to have to

change your Board Name or host a paint party. Are those big bumpers?

How is the rust issues? Will this car be a dedicated A X track car? driving.gif

Those are beautiful big bumpers thank you Only a select few get to have them. . . biggrin.gif

Glad to see you have another 914!!

Paint is going to metal and new color goes on. I need to look everything over well to be sure the chasis is sound enough. Lids will all be glass as well as bumpers so that doesn't matter. beerchug.gif

Yes I will, but no I won't happy11.gif

I will be posting my progress and some of the stuff I do but there is a few things I have been instructed to keep quiet beerchug.gif

Stickers? Oh you bet there will be stickers piratenanner.gif It has to have a few for SCCA and then my sponsor wants a few.Then I was planning on placing a few of the vendors I use on there as well.

This car won't be driven on the street much though. The engine won't like that wink.gif

I hope to be getting another 914 very soon for that though aktion035.gif

Posted by: jcambo7 Sep 20 2010, 10:58 AM

Any meetings in early to mid october? I will be in either McChord or by the Boeing plant in north Seattle from October 1st through the 19th! Would like to join up with some fellow teeners.

Cool, another white BUB!

I went to start my 914 this morning and my $200 drycell battery showed 5.6VDC! headbang.gif

I bought it in April, gotta pull it out and take it to the local Pacific Power Batteries, have them test it.

I'm hoping it's bad.

I'll put it on the charger when I get home, figure it out.

john walker took his buick home and grabbed the diamond T and came back.

lots of unique cars there... awesome!

Guess I should have waited a little longer to pull the car apart. As of today the bodywork got completed on the doors, but the shell hasn't even been touched yet

The orange GT is owned by Brooke.

I am not sure if it is up for sale.

It is VERY, VERY nice! 2.2 MFI engine. Although it is VERY VERY nice, it did not hold a candle to the 1974 911 RSR we saw in Corvallis (sorry I did not get any photos).

Cheers,

Eddie

I only ask because I bought it from the deceased owners dad, a long time ago , it has had two other owners since.

hey Tony can we run hurricane ridge on sat. 9th?

Talked to Troy earlier, the trip to the penensula will be the following weekend.

This comming weekend will be a drive up to Artist Point at the end of the road

of the Mt Baker Hwy. Very nice drive, if you look at Google maps you will see

what I mean.

We will all gather at my house At 9:14 am for breakfast and BS then head up

for the drive. Breakfast will be simple, Pancakes or French Toast, scrambled

eggs and I will figure out what this maple sausage thing is. Cannot see how

sausage is made from maple. I just live near the Border, not over it.

People need to let me know how many will show up by Friday say 8:00 pm

so I can go shopping. And if you drink Tea, bring your own. Again I donnot

Live over the Border. I have Coffee, Juice and Milk for beverages.

HERE IS THE INFO driving.gif

Nord Krupa

291 Tenmile Road

Lynden, WA 98264 ph (360) 961 0593

This is half way between Bellingham and Lynden.


Posted by: greenie Sep 28 2010, 10:12 PM

It's Maple fllavored sausage.

And we like links not the patties.

You can count me and my son in.

I hear Canada is beautiful this time of year, do we need our passports?

Posted by: bmtrnavsky Sep 28 2010, 10:21 PM

My wife and I are in. smile.gif

Posted by: aircooledtechguy Sep 29 2010, 08:50 AM

I'll be there (of course) with either my son or one of his sisters. piratenanner.gif

Cool, can't see any reason why Michelle and I won't be going.

Double relay has been behaving, but new one is on the way. Should be here well before the weekend.

My kid might want to attend this as well. Does anyone have an empty 914 seat he could occupy? Jon? Troy?

I'm hoping to make it. Just got to finish putting things back together after installing a new ignition switch. Well, that and have the new switch work better than the old one.

However, according to some on this board I'm an immature, irresponsible, downright dangerous driver; KMA.gif so you might want to think twice before letting him loose with me. laugh.gif

Greenie and I are planning on meeting on the I-405 off ramp of SE 8th St in Bellevue at 7:00am and then get right back on the freeway. We could pick a larger spot if more people want to meet up.

oh no!!!

good news and bad news.....

i think i found my no start with the key problem... i fiddled with the connections at the reley board and now she starts every time!!!!

thats the good news....

the bad news....


i now have a pretty bad lifter knock that does not change from pulling plug wires, looks like i either bent a push rod or [most likely] droping a valve seat headbang.gif .

well i'll have to drop the engine and do all the things that i was saving to do at once, clean and reseal, back date H/E change all vac and F/I hoses.

and find out if i have a bad head or not!!!

i might be looking for a good used 1.8 head.

before you guys start flaming about using a used head let me remind you all that there is no way i can afford new or rebuilt heads.... no way, no how right now headbang.gif

coming down i was running 6k rpm thru the hairpins. i think i just got the heads hot and when i stopped at the resturant the head cooled down enough that when i left the seat started to drop. it wasn't making any noise when i restarted at the resturant but when i stopped to get Lilli it was making lifter noise pretty bad. like a collasped hyd lifter. i was hoping it was just hot thin oil and would stop when the oil and engine cooled down.

Troy maybe as you source a new head, adding some sway bars so the car

won't lean as much causing the oil to wash out of the pickup sump. I've

followed you before and seen how much roll the car has.

Anybody have some pictures to post from yesterday? When we arrived

at the top of Artist Point there was a Austin Healy club all lined up so we

parked infront of them. I don't know how to post Pictures hissyfit.gif

Looks like a great time, Just want to follow up to see who's up for doing it all over again this week end. Troy mentioned a Hurricane ridge run on Saturday 9th. I have no problem hosting a BBQ and beverages. Troy can ride shot gun in my car, if his car isn't fixed. Let me know who's in, I know it may be too soon after the Baker run but you guys sparked an urge to get out.
Let me know,,,,,

it doesn't look like any one is in to the hurricane ridge run for this week end, and i should use the free week end to go and get a donor motor and drop mine and assess the damage.

and remember there are only 6 shopping days left to my birthday! 1957 gold top Les Paul is top of the list again this year, vintage tube amps are nice as well. Of course if you still want to stay in the car line of thinking, an RSR six will be appreciated. Maybe you all should get a collection going...

why would we get you stuff like that?......

Jeff, the 914 looks great!

I've lost track, this isn't the one you picked up from the Lk Stevens guy years back? That one Jon has now and this is a different one?

I really, really love that green on 914's. wub.gif

Did Jeff show you the secret wave? What about the handshake?

Tuesday Teeners are held at undisclosed locations known only to the person who gets one started and then alerts the others. Or, two people agree and alert the others. It's rare to get three people to actually agree, but many have been known to just follow along in case a breakdown occurs at which point they all descend on the car and strip it of parts, oops, I mean, fix it. biggrin.gif

No need to wade back through 170 pages, unless you want to find out where the skeletons are hidden. Just keep watching this thread going forward and join us when the show comes to a theater near you. Again, welcome. There's a bunch of guys here who will love your car like it's their own. It's pretty well assumed that if you own a 914 you'll be strange enough to fit in.

Im gonna be a while before Im ready....working on the shop itself....I appreciate you thinking about a group discount and IF I were ready Id be game..More or less curious about cost and who does it...Do they prime stuff after blasting? Im not sure if If I should use walnut, glass bead, regular sand or? OR if anyone really gives you the options to do so...

Thanks again.....

Need to decide if the gas tank needs a seal job. When I pulled the sock filter it looked great. I've got the POR kit, but damn that takes a long time to do. Then again, nows the time. I've got my camera with me tonight and I'm going to snap a few. We'll see how late I work and that will determine if i post any

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jan 22 2011, 03:14 AM

You guys are slippin! Found this on pg 4! Have about a month and a half left over here across the pond , er, world. And after almost 4 years out of the loop I will be returning to the 914 world(no pun intended). Found a car in Kansas close to my post, but am still looking for a possibly better car. If I pick it up, I plan on driving back to WA and back for leave unless Camp914 has a better car. Calling him in the morning. Then I will fly out and drive back. Got enough saved up for some decent goodies too....

Anyhow, I will be back in WA at the end of March. Where's the BBQ? biggrin.gif beer.gif



And here's the car I found so far. Doesnt look like the Hell Hole is bad, just some surface crap. My decision is pending a poke check once I get back. Learned my lesson with my '74.....

Chris has a 73 2.0 , way better shape. Whats you budget ?
It is green, top side and bottom side.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jan 22 2011, 09:33 AM

It kind of depends, but I think by the time I get back I could be looking into the $6-7K range. That one in KS does look kind of iffy, but if that rust is superficial I thought the rest of it wasnt that bad. I still have access to a lot of good parts for the interior and what not. This guy is a bit a 356 collector and has been straight up about any issues the car has.

On a side note, I did think that it was kinda odd to see that particular plate without all 3 bolts in it.

Posted by: Tom Jan 22 2011, 11:17 AM

Jim,
If you are looking for a solid 914, I may be selling mine come spring. 76 2.0, lots of extras. Dan of root werks did some work on it for me and he could tell you how nice of shape it is in. It does need rubber seals and paint. Otherwise is in pretty good shape. No major rust!! Hell hole, longs in great shape. Looking for $7500.
Sending PM,
Tom

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jan 22 2011, 11:38 AM

Got your PM Tom. Sending email. Jeff, which Chris? And do you have more info on that car? I want to make sure I get a good one this time, but still be able to afford seeing my family for a couple weeks. lol Also, once I get back to KS I will be looking into some light AX. Not enough mountain roads for a good drive...

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jan 22 2011, 12:53 PM

It will be interesting to see when I get back. That car is going to get a really good look over. I kinda got screwed on my last one that I had. If he is scared of the screwdriver check, I'm walkin....

You got no faith in me Jeff! poke.gif The car is not going to be sold and the car is paid for except in upgrade parts. So no reason to ever sell. I plan on keeping this car until I die and hopefully passing it down to children if I have any. I'm not in Kansas either. Oklahoma and I will be moving on the 1st of February to Lakewood, WA. The car is Chris' (effutuo101) old car also.

Put some peanut oil on that front bumper rubber and watch it turn pretty!

It will go on greasy, but the rubber will absorb it nicely...couple days later, repeat!

Hey guys, just checked out the IRDC site. Anyone be able to do a fun lap day on Friday the 25th of March at Bremerton? Would LOVE to get together with some of the guys at the track while I'm home. Figured if we plan this far ahead, we might be able to get a decent turn out in Bremerton. We can even do a small cook out or something in the pits if the weather cooperates for a good track day.

Do cars still have to pass the tech inspection? I can remember years back doing tons of those in March and April. Loose or ill-adjusted bearings would have been a "fail to attend event". Too much liability to pass something like that.

Hey Jeff,

I will keep an eye out for him but the skills day people keep to the other end of the track to avoid the crazy autocross folk happy11.gif I will try to remember though. I go talk to everyone...as you know blink.gif

Root, yes, but with autocrosses if you drove your car there it should be in fine shape. If you have a wheel bearing with a little slop that should be fine but too much and they will ask you to fix it or not run. Many of the people there will offer you their ride if that ever happens.... if they know you.

I thought autocross was for people with cars that can't pass tech inspection at the track.

blink.gif You don't want to take a car out on an AX course that isn't sound. The forces you put on the car could easily snap something.

Now the big track is a different story. Big track can kill your engine or other parts simply because of the speeds and dramatic change.

Either way, you want a reliable car for both poke.gif

Dan your thinking of the madatory pre track event inspection.
Like Jon said they will advise him to tighten before next time.

Posted by: Root_Werks Feb 9 2011, 04:01 PM

Ah, kinda remember....it's been 9-10 years. It was the track days that really required it back then if I remember correctly. Skills Days were more a quick check at the gate, throttle return spring, tire tread etc. Then off you went to play.

There use to be three track day groups, green, yellow and red. I had worked my way up to the yellow group at one point. Fun stuff, just well beyond my buget for fees and cost of repairing or maint of the car driven these days.

Somewhere I have a picture from 1994 or 1995 in my 1974 914-6 2.2E MFI I built kicking the but of a couple of 911's when it was still SIR. It's a really good shot of my little silver 914 passing both 911's on the inside of the corner right before the drag strip straight.

I have two sets of controls (Steering Wheels and Pedals set on bases) that we use on a 50" plazma TV using the split screen mode. Big time fun!

How about an endurance race with two teams?

One of my control setups even uses a 914 seat!

All the wires to the control lever for the blower are melted now sad.gif But at least I got the license plate lights to work.

the heater blower in the engine compartment?

the lever between the seats is the ground to the circut, the is a realy and a fuse on the realy board.
you should not have been able to melt the ground wire unless you have a direct short in the blower [and you should have blown fuses].
easy to diagnose, use a volt ohm meter on the ohms setting on the contacts of the blower, if it's shorted it will read close to .1.
you can also take the blower and jumper it to the battery with wire and see if it runs or sparks and makes the wires hot.

No, the fresh air blower in the front. The blower in the engine compartment works fine. The fresh air blower never worked but today all wires going to the controls melted. I will start tomorrow to put new wires in but something is not wired correctly.

Posted by: matteyp Mar 2 2011, 06:36 PM

Tom,
actually Dan and Troy really helped out a lot with the electrical as well as the rest of the nw crew, and they could explain exactly what they did to get everything straightened out. The two main problems were the passenger headlight motor was bad. Replaced that and they work good now. I was also missing a relay for my headlights. They turn on now but I still have a problem with them turning off when I jiggle the switch.
May just be a bad ground or dirty terminal though so that's not to big of a deal. I also have no yet switched over to the engmann fuse block which it seems like everyone has. My fuse panel was a bit dirty Which I think was causing some problems also. Dan also fixed my turn indicators so they both flash correctly. Not exactly sure how he did that but it didn't seem to hard. Hoping to get the tank in over the weekend and maybe see if shell fire up this week!

James, let me know if you want to try and get together while I am up there. I am planning some time for 914 stuff once I get up there with my car around the 22nd. I will be staying in Puyallup, so not far from you at all. Still looking for people that are set on going to Bremerton on the 25th for some track fun.

Eddie, if I have time to run up to Seattle some FM3 would be fun. I had lots of time in Iraq to play. I'll bring a thumbstick with my profile on it. I'm currently about halfway through season 6 and hit driver level 50 a while ago. driving.gif

Skagit is the same way. Every time I'm up there and see hangars open, there are stacks of cars under wings of planes. Usually nice old classic sports cars.

Never was in a Comanche, I have a German PPL and flew a lot when I lived there. Still try to get a few hours whenever I visit my family, my Dad used to own a flying school. Spent most of the time in a C-152 and C-172 and at the end in a F-22 which was really fun biggrin.gif

Posted by: Eddie914 Mar 26 2011, 11:45 AM

The weather look nasty Thursday night (why did I put on Type-R rubber?).

There was no rain and blue skies by the time the first cars got out on the track. The was drying out nicely when the smell of gear oil and smoke in the mirror arrived!

OUCH! No first or reverse? Lots of whine from the transaxle. Cracked rear transmission case. I think the speedo drive backed out!

I will be attending the Dr. Evil transmission rebuild clinic!

This is the first time my teener has been on a trailer in seven years!

Even with the super cool duct taped dist-cap, we still noted a pretty strong spark. It'll light off when some decent fuel gets put back in the tank. That was about the most oder-less fuel I think I've ever smelled. It was one step away from being water.

Good thing I noticed was the tank still seemed perfectly clean, no rust. I'm glad this 914 made it back to local ground, I forgot how cool it is.

These are usually not planned very far in advance. Best to just keep on eye on this thread. When someone wants to get together with the gang, people will start posting about it.

Posted by: Eddie914 Mar 30 2011, 03:02 PM

I wish I could have been there to help. I know a lot about bad gas.

After the transmission in my teener lost 1st and reverse gears at the track on Friday, a few of the idle jets clogged up. It was tough getting the poor car up on the trailer with no first gear and only running on 3 or four cylinders.

I keep forgetting to top off the gas tank before winter. condensation seems to be a lot greater with the new gas formulations.

It's tough for me to find time to join the gang this time of year.

See you all in about three weeks.

Cheers,

Eddie

My Beast has not been running in a while, I've been thinking something's broke, when I get on it... it kicks and sputters and backfires.... I was thinking stuck or bent valve. I even responded about bad gas to a guy on the forum here to check his gas in one of the other threads.....
Can't believe I haven't checked my own gas!
Yes... the ethanol sucks, and as much as many of our cars sit.... we should seek out a station that sells pure gas. Here is the list for WA.
http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=WA
I called the one in Gig Harbor and the price is about $.10 more than the other stations.
I'm going to the garage.............

Jon's garage is loooooooooong, as you stepped inside, the 914s just kept showing up.

Not to hijack this thread since there isn't any 914 content:

Michelle and I did go, very cool to have it at the old WH mill. We wondered around, picked up a couple of little things from the swap meet, looked at some cool air cooled cars and left. Did the lunch thing at the hotel overlooking the falls, very cool.

On the way back heading down hwy 18, the clutch cable snapped in the Squareback.

Doh! blink.gif

I made it all the way back home with no clutch. Just matched speed to rpm's and only felt the syncros once going from 4th the 3rd. So we made it from hwy 18 to I-90 to I-5 all the way back up to our driveway. I had to get creative that I pulled into a gas station and slowly circled the parking lot in 1st gear until I could the light getting ready to change green, then zipped out.

Fun day!

I want to host a Teener Tuesday at my place on June 14. WCR is creeping up and I've got an engine/tranny to reinstall and brakes all around to replace. Some of this will be done by then but I'm definitely over my head when it comes to brakes.

There also would be at least two open bays if others have projects they need to finish up. I'll supply brats and burgers and a starter supply of beer, but I'll need some guidance on the brew since I've been out of the loop on favored labels for quite some time.

This could also be done Saturday, June 11 if people wanted to make a work party out of the day, with multiple projects on multiple cars getting accomplished.

June 11th would work for me, I have to adjust my timing and a few other things to see whether I can get it running better so I would take you up on your offering for a spot in your shop. I have an appointment at noon so I would be done at your place at 1:00 PM to help an get help.

So,. . . I heard on the local radio up here in the north-end that the road to Artist Point on Mt. Baker will be closed all season due to 50+ FEET(!!!) of snow. The highest you will be able to drive up will be the ski lodge, then hike to the top. Some fun rod for sure, but that last few miles is the best.

Anyone up for a cruise around Mt Rainier in August?? Maybe up to Paradise lodge??

I think we should create an impromptu road closure on Mt Erie and hold a 914 hill climb.

Posted by: NORD Jul 5 2011, 04:33 PM


They are not going to plow the road open as usual in July, The snow

will melt off by August. Just have to plan the trip after snow clears.

I would be up for a different trip.

On another issue, somebody told me they have pictures of Nate and his

Son breaking into a race track and running some hot laps. What did

you guys teach him at the WCR? If I get those pictures I'll post them

I have one but it's for a 2.0. I also have the heat exchanger, rusty but should be OK. I never used them, they came with an engine I bought a few weeks ago and they are sitting in my garage, not sure what the set is worth but would be willing to let them go.

Jerry Mahoney has the 911 at the moment to paint the car and I talked with him that we do a Teener get together at my house once he is finished and brings the car back. Not sure whether it will be the 8th or a weekend later, as soon as I have the date I will let everbody know. No work planned yet unless I drop the engine from the LE (I have a massive oil leak and have to find it), just a get together for coffee or a beer.

Sorry I could not make the Mt. Baker Drive.

I was coaxed into driving this road down by Goldendale Washington ...

I think I posted a time similar to a 911 GT3 RS ...

I wish I had some AX tires instead of old crusty street tires!

Eddie was that the Maryhill hillclimb? driving.gif

Posted by: Eddie914 Sep 27 2011, 09:53 AM

Yes,

MaryHill Hill Climb with the NHA (Northwest Hill Climb Association). It was the first time NHA has run at MaryHill.

It is a private road. About two miles long.

It would be a great place for a 914 event!

Fresh asphalt, hot weather, and the smell of burnt rubber!

To be totally honest we should organize a 914 fuck off time trial and rent the road for a weekend. just imagine how fun it could be!

Posted by: Eddie914 Sep 27 2011, 01:42 PM

I believe the road rental is $1000 per day and $500 refundable cleaning deposit. I understand insurance may be required if the event is a timed event.

The NHA event was timed. There was a tow truck on site but no emergency medical.

A lot of different groups rent the road. Some go up ... cars and motorcycles. Some go down ... Long Board and Street Luge riders.


Posted by: Ductech Sep 27 2011, 05:32 PM

I for one would work hard to get my car turbo'ed and prepped to do it. the question is how do we insure a huge group of "excited" NARP owners. We could host a mid engined 914 world time trial event. Allow anything with a motor in the middle. Either way that is a killer road and I would just plain love to go up or down it in my car or Duc.

Posted by: NORD Sep 27 2011, 05:42 PM



Eddie

Tell me if I'm wrong but the NHA requires roll bars and

fire suits for the cars to participate don't they?

Some Clubs require a racing or rally drivers license also?

Posted by: PanelBilly Sep 28 2011, 05:55 AM

Help, I'm looking for a lug nut wrench and a tool bag for the Creamsickle. It dawned on me last night that I didn't have one for the car. Anybody have one in their collection that they can part with?

Posted by: Eddie914 Sep 28 2011, 08:33 AM

Nord,

Looks like no roll bars (for the 914) or fire suits are needed:

3.1 All entrant cars must have a shoulder harness or straps
3.2 Roll bars or roll cages are required in all open cars. Integrated roll bars (i.e. Corvette, Porsche) are acceptable. Roll bars/roll cages are required in Super Production. Roll bars/roll cages must be constructed to 1975 or later GCR rules. Inflated or popup roll bars are not permitted. The roll bar must be above the drivers’ helmet, and be adequately braced. It must pass tech inspection.
3.3 Fire extinguishers, or fire systems, are mandatory in all cars. A minimum of 5BC rating required. Extinguisher, or system activator, must be located within easy reach of driver and/or safety officials (forward of front seat in all stock, production or super production type cars).
3.3.1 Extinguishers must be securely mounted with metal brackets.
3.3.2 All extinguishers, except Halon, must be professionally inspected and tagged, within 13 months of event date.
3.3.3 Tech inspectors will remove portable extinguishers from brackets, visually check pressure and turn upside down to loose extinguishing agent.
3.4 Entrants will wear long sleeve shirts and long pants made of cotton or Nomex while driving. Nomex suits are highly recommended.
3.4.1 Shoes are required.
3.4.2 Helmets will comply with current NHA Solo II Rules.

Can't believe they allowed someone holding a camera. Generally they must be mounted.

I would love to go drive that event sometime.

Posted by: Eddie914 Sep 28 2011, 03:08 PM

I think the 996 GT3 video was from an Audi Club Event that was kind of a "fun run". The NHA people seem to be a bit more hardcore.

I'll get some video. I used my buddy's GoPro for the first time.

It's a lot of fun ... not too fast ... mostly 3rd gear ... 2nd gear for the hairpins ... maybe 100mph before the green gate (I had to shift into 4th).

I was slipping and sliding on my old Bridgestone SO-3 street tires.

There are some VERY fast cars in the WHA ... how about an HCP Locust with a 500HP LS2 with HUGE wings that weighs in at less than 2000lbs. It clocked in below two minutes. It looks like the 996 GT3 in the video ran about a 2:20

Posted by: Ductech Sep 29 2011, 07:26 PM

That Utube clip reminds me of doing windy ridge near mount St. Helens, on my Ducati 996.

Lots of turns!

Jerry Mahoney is bringing the 911 back on Sunday morning, he painted the car in his shop, he plans to be at my house in Lake Froest Park around 9:30 AM. Thought it's a good opportunity to get some teeners together for an early coffee and a chat, maybe we can even start to get the car back together smile.gif So everybody who wants to stop by in the morning is welcome, address is
19491 45th Ave NE
Lake Forest Park, WA 98155
I can offer coffee and if I know that people are planning to come I can get some toast or Croissants.

Welcome to the Teener group. You should see me running around near Lynnwood not far from old Rich. My teener is my daily driver and I can go months without seeing another one on the road! I am in Dallas for Christmas and have not seen one yet here.

Jon,
I think those would look great with the ribs sanded and polished. Will it be easy to go back if you sand/polish? Are you going to be able to pull the fenders out enough? Be careful as the door gaps and bumper gaps can be affected. Did you ever look closely at Eric Fry's silver car? He pulled his fenders a lot and it changed the bumper and door gaps. I remember Dave at Triad pointing it out to me when I asked him about pulling the rear fenders. I can only get 195's under mine without pulling the fenders with the Enkei's I have. And the 195's are close!

I'm going to black the centers on my Mahles and was planning leaving the spokes natural. I like that look with the spokes standing out. I think Kelty's are that way.

You know what would be cool....if the spokes could be polished shiny like the rims. That would be totally unique. But that part of the wheel wouldn't polish like the aluminum on your rims, so I'm not sure how you would pull it off. (Maybe get them smooth enough with sanding and primer to use chrome paint.)

Unique and cool wheels, kudos.

Posted by: KELTY360 Dec 21 2011, 03:58 PM

I think it would look badass to paint the ribs to approximate the body color of the car. Might even consider painting the studs (or just the ends) that same color. What color are your bumpers?

I replaced mine just before WCR'11 and my supplier had them for about $250 if memory serves me. Another $30-40 for a couple tubes of the black goo and I was done. I installed mine myself (but truthfully, I think I got REAL lucky that it fell into the exact right spot on the first stab shades.gif ) It should be a two-man job to take luck out. laugh.gif Seriously though, it's NOT as hard as folks will lead you to believe. It could be done on a teener-tuesday, though you better host as it would not be good to drive it until the sealant completely cures.

If you need new trim clips, get those first and have them on hand. I think it takes around 19-20 @ around $2.50 each from Pelican. A door panel tool and patients will ensure that the chrome is not damaged. That is truly the tricky part.

I hear ya. I put about 35k on the company car each year right in the middle of Doomas-opalus. I have seen cars in full lockup, faseing the wrong way on the I5 in seattle because someone had to come to a full stop to merge over to 520.

Anyway, there is a 914-svx project on the seattle C/L. anyone here?

Took a day longer to get here, but the snow finally hit. About 14" total where I'm at. When I'm not clearing the driveway, I'm in the shop:)

I'll be in Seattle Wed-Fri next week. Wife sold her Volvo and is sending me to pick up a Land Rover. Anyone up for a beer Wednesday night? Could do Thursday too, but I'll be stuck near Factoria that night.

Funny, just saw a car today in sanded purple, as in needs repaint....it did catch the eye. Vote for blue.

I just tossed the last one in the foot of the back seat of the Dodge truck and drove it 280 miles. No blankets, no tape, just stood it up vertical and didn't drive like an idiot. Made it no problem an I met one of the more interesting buggers from the PNW crowd buying it.

I bought a windshield from some chucklehead on a website I'd not frequented, turns out it was Mr. Root. The rest is history.

Wait, that came out like the rest of you guys aren't interesting. Now this is awkward.

Back in my car sales days I went to a Dodge/Chrysler training at Emerald Downs, we used that circuit area to "learn" (beat the snot out of) the SRT lineup. 1st, we drove ourselves around it in whichever SRT8 product we wanted, and then, later, a professional racer gave us a ride in the same cars... So amazing what those guys could do with those big heavy pigs!!

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 May 16 2012, 04:48 PM

Posted by: Ductech May 16 2012, 05:10 PM

Well I think that you would save more weight pulling out the fresh air box all the heater blower equip in the back and all the plumbing bits for the heat. If you get rid of the wiring for the items your talking about you'd be looking at maybe two pounds savings. At most.. And needless to say you may wanna use some of those wires later down the road. Not to sound all negative... What does the car have left as far as oem heavy equipment?

Oh good..I wish I had a wind tunnel... Delete the grating for the cold airbox also... Should reduce overall drag by a very minute amount. I'd never get anything officially done with a wind tunnel.. I'd just spend all day playing with bodywork and wings and so forth... I think your best bet would be to pull up the pelican site and print out the electrical flow diagrams they have for your year and print them out and start crossing off what you want to delete. Then bring it over to my place off 164th and we go over what you can get rid of from the diagram

Then just needs the valves adjusted and put back in smile.gif . I may have that done by Tuesday.

I heard on the radio the other day that the highway department is going to

start clearing the road all the way up to Artist Point next month. There is still

30 ft. of snow up there but should be clear by the end of June.

Its time to plan a breakfast and Artist Point drive for a weekend in July.

Just thought I'd pass this info on to the guys with cars running. For you all

still on jackstands time is getting short. Will keep updated reports

Bah! My timing always sucks. Why can't certain divisions of the company have melt downs that make Tuesday night viable!? I'll be on the road home.

I was overtaking a truck on Rye Grass hill, he came out in front of the truck so I couldn't see him until it was too damned late. I remember thinking "don't stop and look you dumb shit!" and he did for a sec. Then he got his scoot on just enough to line right up with the driver's side frame member. That big old block of a tow hook got him square and tossed him over the guard rail. I mourn the loss, he didn't deserve it but he didn't suffer. I pulled over and verified, then checked out the truck. One nickle size chip of paint and a whole lot of deer puddy.

So no, I didn't get any meat out of it. Unless you count the sausage in the grill.

There's a guy that works at the car wash in Issaquah who's not gonna be right for a bit.

How about a visit to Garrett's in Edmonds next Tuesday? I spoke with him yesterday and he's got a new 914 he wants to show off. It's a low miles, red '73 1.7 with appearance group. We could hang out at his place for a little bit and then adjourn to the pizza joint next door for some food.

Waddya think?

Til then it looks like I will be working in the Seattle area after July 9 for 6-8weeks or so. Once I kick off the project I will know more how my schedule pans out.
I'll pick some dates, and places to visit and see who's in. Looking toward late July, mid August.
Some Ideas are, Hurricane Ridge, or 101 down to Hoodsport, or 101 past Lake Cresent to hwy 112 back to Pt Angeles, or.......
I'll keep in touch and see when you all are ready to "Come out" and play.

Jon,

Brakes worked great. The pedal stayed firm through four sessions with nice modulation. Wilwood Superlite calipers and 309mm x 32mm rotors on the front. The rears are still a 911SC setup. I ran the proportioning valve wide open.

Here are some pics (sorry for the "Andy" quality).

I have not made up backing plates to connect the cooling ducts, so the ducts just blow into the wheel wells at this time, but there did not seem to be much fade.

I had fun playing with a 911 GT3 and a 911 996 Turbo, although my car needs more top end acceleration to keep up without pushing too hard. Over 100MPH the 996 Turbo was gapping my Teener for some reason (someone mentioned that it had somewhere around 650HP).

Cheers,

Eddie

Overheated the piss out of my battery though, got home and it had popped one of the covers up on the top, and was boiling and hissing!

Youll have to check the voltage as you rev the engine up, over 14 will cook the battry. Could have dislodged the plates and shorted the battery too.

Sunday would also work for me, I will be in the garage most of the day but if someone wnats to stop by in the afternoon for a beer and to help with the top that would be fantastic.


I'm probably doing a car show in Bothell on Sunday but could stop by on the way back from that. Probably 3:00-3:30.


Sounds good, Billy will stop by earlier, will have coffee and something for breakfast and beer for the afternoon. If someone need the address let me know and I will send a PM, it's in Lake Forest Park.

I would be in for having something in the south end, but I will be on my honeymoon/vacation from the 6th through the 10th. I work at Boeing Field and live in Oly, but I could have my car back in Tacoma by 6:30 on most days. I'm not ready to drive it to work in all of that traffic until I get the side shift tranny put in this winter, so I'll have to run home to get it.

We'll see how my car does driving down to Lincoln City for the trip. Hopefully I don't have to spend the entire trip working on it smile.gif

on week days southsounders only have to drive north before 2pm for a 6pm (still can be iffy) beer and burger to avoid the greater seattle commute nightmare. the 4th worst in the nation. then there's the upcoming Seafair festivities. throw in a sounders match or mariners game, and road construction/closures. it's just too much.

We could invade The Ram down on the Tacoma waterfront. Parking shouldn't be too bad on a Tuesday, outside seating, great beer and burgers. Not too steep on the prices either. Either that or someone's garage/driveway idea.gif

There is also Johnny's dock across the Foss waterway from the glass museum...

I can provide "near" waterfront access, I also can provide a "trailer park" but we would need to drive to eastern Wa.

We live on the south end of Lake Sammamish in Issaquah, even Rhodyguy can get here easily if he takes the backroads(hgwy 18), I'll even let him stay overnight if he needs his beauty sleep. grouphug.gif

I'll be delighted to host on the the 7th if we can get the guy's from the south and guys from the north to agree that traffic sucks! slap.gif

I would love to come to one of these get togethers, I just don't trust my car yet for a long trip. Picked up some wierd hesitation after our monster rain showers last week and hoping I find the time this weekend to track it down and fix it. Really hope the complete tune up and valve adjustment snuffs it out. Just have this wierd feeling water got in the fuel tank or something crazy worse

Artist Point Drive!!! driving.gif


Breakfast at My house at 9:14 then a spirited drive up to the top of

Mt. Baker. Latter in August would be best because there is still 20ft

of snow with 8ft walls around the parking lot. When thats all gone it

would be a great Drive again. Some of the Canadian 914ers could

come down also.

Just throwing this out because I will be making the runs anyway, Atleast

till they ticket me so much and impound my car. Nate can help do

breakfast with me. The Porsche Club is doing the run August 18th. departing

from the Wine & Cheese Factory up at Simiahmo Resort. The 914ers are

welcome to stay at my place that night if you would like.

Waiting for Toni from the Pennisula to chime in and see what kind of tour

he will take us on. driving.gif

Just a heads up for those of you interested in the Artist's Point cruise. I went up there today for a picnic with my girlfriend and my sister. They've got the road closed to one lane with a pilot car for a ways after Glacier because they're cutting out the rumble strip in the center of the road and filling it smooth with asphalt. It's left a lot of crap that's being kicked up as vehicles pass through. My sister had to back off a few extra car lengths as her Suby was taking a bit of a beating.

Once you got past the construction it was decent. The roads were dry all the way to the Artist's Point parking lot.

Any north end guys familiar with this car? (Or own it?) It appeared a block up the road from my place in Bellingham while I was in California last week. Black 8-spokes, a ground circuit interrupt on the decklid, some SCCA stickers and a tan interior.

I haven't seen it move since I got back and haven't see anyone around outside to talk to.

Also just realized that I introduced myself using the wrong screen name at the Ram in Puyallup the other night. To the two of you that I hadn't met before, I said that my screen name was mygokrt. That's my name from a couple other forums I belong to.

Matt's Greenwood Auto Care mainly deals with japanese imports but the owner owns a 911 Carrera RS America and is a friend of Jon Bovey's. One of the best shops around and should be able to help you out. If not I would try triad west perfomance. I don't remember exactly but I believe he is located in Lacey or Olympia area.

Jeff -

I've used a guy in the Renton Highlands that does beautiful work, very reasonably priced. He built an entire system for my '54 Merc and 2 weeks ago he repalced a portion of the exhaust on my brother's Syncro Westy. His welds and bends are beautiful. Name is Kevin, Lifetime Muffler, 425.255.5144. Tell hem Marc sent you.

Look forward to meeting you one of these days.

Posted by: aircooledtechguy Sep 26 2012, 03:36 PM

Before you order a muffler of any kind to replace the factory Bursch, measure the space you have and get measurements for the replacement muffler to be sure it will fit. You'll be surprised just how little space you have for a muffler in there. I can tell you that your classic Flow Master 40 etc. will NOT fit (too wide). Most of the off the shelf mufflers are made for larger motors and are fairly large in size. It's the width that is the problem with most mufflers.

Posted by: mightyohm Sep 29 2012, 01:44 PM

Thanks for the recommendations, guys.

I found an exact match for the old muffler by searching for the part number that was stamped on it - it's a Dynomax 17604. I've got the new muffler in hand, just need to get it installed. I'll call the shops listed above.

Thanks again!

Posted by: mightyohm Sep 30 2012, 05:02 PM

Got the new muffler installed - I wound up using Dan's Fast Muffler on 12th in Bellevue. A little pricey but they got me in without an appointment and the quality of their work is top notch. There was a BMW 2002 in the lot so I knew I had found the right place.

Thanks again for the help.

Who do you think was the first guy I called but Mr. Parts himself Rich!

In fact I thought he could straighten my frame for me but it was such a wierd position (pushed in a couple of inches next to the light houseing on the right side) that he said go to eurotechbodywerkes which is what I have done.

So rhodyguy has been so kind as to sell me a bumper.

Love you Northwest Teeners! In a manly way of coarse!

Posted by: InkyP Oct 26 2012, 12:25 AM

So it looks like I still need a bumper and I need it fast or one that I can use so the body guy can straighten my frame and the bumper lines up correctly.

Definitely interested in taking a look.

Mine looks like the entire lower firewall has been hacked out, "new" battery tray was just riveted in...and the repairs to the RR suspension console (outer control arm attachment point) look a might questionable. And that is on top of the entire rear floor pan being rotted out (along w/ some heavy rust coming through on the bottom of the doors). I think the newer paint was thrown on to cover up a bunch of stuff.

But whatever. If it wasn't for the car I never would've found this place....even though I have been a bit of a stranger over the past few months. slap.gif

With all this talk about parting cars and such, I'm in need of some teener sheet metal that is normally NOT needed by other teeners. So if anyone has a car they are going to be cutting up soon, I have a couple odd requests for use on the Squarsche.

Specifically, I could use both L & R FWD a-arm mount areas, about 6-8" in diameter around each one. I also need the area where the steering shaft goes through the fwd passenger compartment and the bracket for the bearing inside the car. I also may need a front suspension cross member, but the jury is still out on that one. Lemme know if anyone has a derelict hulk with that stuff and what you want for it. Thanks.

Welcome to the team


I mostly hide it, and if a friend does see me driving it I tell him it's my kids car. smile.gif

Truth is I really like 914's. I had a green 1.8 in a past life and drove it from Seattle to Phoenix with a GF in the early 80's. We camped and stopped all over Idaho, Utah and AZ. On the way back, while doing about 70 mph just west of Reno at night I hit a big mule deer buck. Not good. Car was basically totaled. We were not Hurt luckily, but the deer went very nearly all the way through the windshield.

I bought this car because it has a practically unblemished interior -no cracks, perfect seats - and had been stored inside for years. No rust.

Anyway, I look forward to coming to teener Tuesdays.

Were any of you at the XXX Porsche day this summer? I drove the 911 cab there, but saw several really nice 914's.

Would anyone be interested in getting together next week Wednesday, December 19th, at the Big E Ale brewery? We met there around 1 year ago, would be fun to see a few of you before the year ends.

I had a copper 75 about 9-10 years back. 1.8 37k on the clock. I sold it for a song because i couldnt see it living under a tarp at the new house. Oh mistakes we make!

Wish I was in town on the 19th but Dallas is sunny and warm.

You would think with Dallas being bigger than Seattle there would be more teener action on CL but there isn't. I have yet to see one down here but still looking.

Have a great time and will see you guys on the other side of doom!

I am planning on being there on the 19th unless its pouring down (- I heard 914's tend to melt in the rain). I have a question for you guys: the 75 I bought has the stock steel wheels. i think the current tires are fairly old and 155. whats the best tire for that rim? Can I go with 195? 185? (I've never bought tires for a 914, so have no clue)

My car came with 165's on it. . . I got a set of Bridgestone 205/60/HR15s and while they were decent tires, a 205 is a large as you can go on a 5.5" rim and thus there was a lot of sidewall flex during hard driving.

I have since replaced those with a set of Goodyear EagleGTs in 195/60VR/15 and the look is perfect IMHO and feel is much more positive. The jury is still out on how they perform since I only have a few hard drives on them. 195/60 IMHO is the perfect size for a 15' rim on these cars. A 195/50 gives good performance and handling but is just too small in diameter. It looks funny and makes your speedo read way off.

Posted by: Greggers914 Dec 23 2012, 04:54 PM

fuel pump!

When I had the car stored on my warehouse, we routinely started it every couple of months. no problem - it always started.

now that I've decided to get it all sorted out and running well, its refused to start twice. the last time, Akers diagnosed it as a "relay" problem and get it running well (and tuned up). now it won't start again (The battery is brand new). I'm guessing its the fuel pump. is the fuel pump easy to replace? can a guy like me with only thumbs and no experience working on cars do it? (I don't want tp pay for another tow to Akers)

Greg

Posted by: rdauenhauer Dec 23 2012, 05:07 PM

Greg if its the 75 in your signature, dead simple.
Open the front trunk, remove 4 screws holding the pump cover plate,
Pull/jiggle the pump & attached lines towards you enough to access fuel line clamps on either end and electrical connections R&R ...then drive!
santa_smiley.gif bye1.gif

Posted by: sixnotfour Dec 23 2012, 06:44 PM

try wiggling the fuel pump relay, the scokets can get corroded. and roll the fuse (new contact)

Posted by: Greggers914 Dec 24 2012, 12:19 AM

I found the four screws and opened it up. Ok, now, how do you get it out? The pump seems to be inside and connected to hoses, etc. no idea how you get it out???
Am I missing something?

Have you got a replacement pump yet? Probably best not to take it all apart til you have the new pump. Be sure you have some appropriate diameter bolts, or golf tees, on hand to plug the lines when you disconnect.

I live close to MI and could give you a hand if it would help. You can call me at 425-235- ate three ate three.

Posted by: Greggers914 Dec 24 2012, 09:50 AM

Thanks Marc.
I may take you upon the offer. I got it opened up, but could not figure out how you could take it out without forcing something. I might take another look this morning.

Who do you like to buy 914 parts from? Pelican?

Greg

Posted by: PanelBilly Dec 24 2012, 11:17 AM

I use drill bit to plug the lines. Its easy to find one the right size. Pelican is a great source, but you might post a want ad and find a member who has an extra new in the box one. Seems part of the hobby is buying things and putting them on the shelf...

Posted by: Greggers914 Dec 27 2012, 03:30 PM

Marc,
thanks for coming by. I must be the worlds worst guy at working on cars. after much ado, I realized (After hooking up a new fuel pump) that the problem actually was the fuse is the relay area. I put in a new one (given to me by Denny Akers), and the pump came to life. However, the car still wouldn't start. I then realized I connected the fuel lines incorrectly, and attached the line from the tank to the top of the fuel pump, and the line that goes to the injectors to the fuel filter. Arg! - Ok, onward and upward - I changed them around (Thanks Nate for the call), and the car still wouldn't start. I then started to wonder why the car was not starting when everything seemed to be right. Nate also told me that the brown electircal line goes to the negative and not positive on the fuel pump! (I though it originally came off the positive, and even marked it). I had them connected wrong also. When I get home I will chnage them around and see if it will start (and by now the battery is running down).

anyway, I long ago leanred to never work on my own cars. just more proof of how bad I am at it.

Sounds like you're making progress. You've already learned to consult Nate, instead of me, which many will tell you is a huge step in the right direction. biggrin.gif Hope it's something simple and you'll be back on the road. Nice car you've got there, I look forward to seeing it on the road.

it now runs like a "scalded cougar". OK. I learned. much time wasted for nothing.
What is a scoket? had you said socket i would have understood.

question (i'll listen this time) how can I get my dash lights brighter? can I install a bigger bulb to get a brighter Tach at night?

is it easy to put on one of those big side stickers (Assume its a sticker) that says PORSCHE on the lower side of the car? - I like them, and think it would look cool. if I'm as bad at putting a sticker on as I am at chaging a fuel pump (that didn't need changing) im not going to do it myself. where can you buy one?

Take off your sunglasses when driving at night, then the dashlights are brighter.

I was on vacation for a few days. I lost several emails, etc. Someone sent me a message about meeting tomorrow at Herfys in Renton for lunch. I lost the message, and forgot what time it was.
Whoever sent it, can we do 11:30? I'm good to go, and will be there. (The Herfys on 180th next to the Pizza place right?)

Unbeleivably, I went from Rain in Cabo to clear up here. (Although it was a lot warmer down there).

Got some new tires in on Thursday and had them mounted on the new wheels (thanks Jeff) on Friday, hit the autocross on Saturday. Everything was going great right up until I pulled up the starting line and the MFI system went lean. Popped and bucked all the way to the finish line. Loaded it on the trailer and brought it home. Haven't had a chance to start troubleshooting yet. Pretty sure its not the new wheels though. dry.gif

is there any interest in a "Teener Tuesday" get together in the near future? - I'm new to the group and would enjoy seeing some of the other cars and meeting members.

XXX in Issaquah is an easy place to meet for me. but, i'm easy. anywhere in the Seattle area is good.

Hi,

An introduction: I purchased a '72 1.7 a few years ago, drove it for a summer/fall then decided to do some "minor" engine work. Car hasn't moved under its own power since. I'm now in the midst of a complete restoration, moving at a snails pace until recently. Engine was rebuilt to a 2L by NW connecting rod, and the car is currently in the shop for bodywork and new paint.

The shop disassembled the doors and says they are too far gone. I've got a few leads on parts from the usual sources, but was curious if anyone on this board had a set of relatively rust/damage free doors that they would be willing to sell?

If the weather looks good for next week (Seems to be OK), would anyone like to try to meet at XXX Issaquah for a Teener Tuesday?

I'm good at around 6;30pm. Traffic is never good out there at that time, but they have a big parking lot and the burgers are decent.

if its pouring down rain, we just skip it.

Posted by: dereknlee Mar 6 2013, 08:55 PM

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll send PMs regarding the doors - some promising leads. Wow...hitting a deer is bad in most cars - but in a 914 the deer has the advantage.

I haven't seen the car in bare metal yet, tried to get there today but work got in the way. My car was repainted (outside surfaces only) some time in its past - in a John Deer green. The original color was willow green, so that's why the trunk and door frames are lighter than in the pictures I posted. I'd like the color to be close to the original willow green when it gets re-sprayed (if anything just add a little bit more life to the color).

Hey guys! Been forever. My ADD seems to have caught up with me this winter and not much happening with the 914. Time to get back to work on it I'm thinking.

Posted by: bradtho Mar 20 2013, 11:51 PM

hope you don't mind if a lurker jumps in. Monty at Redmond European sent me to Truline in b-vue this year when I re-did my suspension. He recommended Omni until I mentioned the corner balance. I was really pleased. they couldn't achieve the front ride height I wanted but called to talk about it and sent pictures.

I just had my daughter's car at Omni (totem lake) and they were real stand up guys. not sure if they don't do corner balancing or why that changed Monty's recommendation.

I'll return to my lurking until a get together lines up well with my schedule. was thinking of joining on the recent XXX plans, and then it rained that nite.

I'm reposting here from a separate thread just to make sure some PNW guys don't miss the notice:


Got a call last night from our friend and 914World member, Garrett Goldsmith. He told me that his doctor tells him that his 20+ year battle with MS is coming to an end and he has begun hospice care at his home.

In keeping with the remarkable, matter-of-fact attitude he's taken to his condition, he and Patricia are inviting his friends to a Going Away Party/Open House starting at Noon on Saturday, March 30.

The address is 1427 Olympic View Dr., Edmonds WA

Garrett is a long time Porsche enthusiast and restorer who has come to revere the 914 and owns a wonderful '74 2.0 survivor. If you are a friend of the 914, you're a friend of Garrett's. Try to swing by and say hi. If you want food or drink, bring your own. This will be a celebration for a great 914 guy. Bring your Porsche if you can.

Greg James


Greg - Don't confuse this with the XXX Porsche meet next Sunday. This Sunday is a VW meet at Bellevue Community College.

BTW, I'll probably be there tomorrow for a short time.


just saw this. I went to XXX for the Ferrari day, and it was a pretty poor showing because of rain. Interesting that I noticed a bunch of VW busses that day and wondered what all the fuss was about. now I know!

Greg

BTW,
I can't make the porsche thing this sunday at XXX. will be in eastern WA for the weekend.

is anyone game for a Teener Tuesday next week?

Divorce over 100%. got all my cars smile.gif

question for everyone:

I had a beautiful set of BBS wheels that were once on a restored BMW 2002 in the wifes house. perfect condition. size: 6Jx15 HZ. 289 ET33. W/Yokohama 195/50 R15 tires.

got them back.

any way to get them on a 914? - the 4 lug nut holes are too close together to fit. I wondered if there was any way to get it to work without spending big bucks, or should I just try to sell the wheels and tires on Craigs list? (they are basically unused!)

Greg James


Posted by: PeeGreen 914 May 14 2013, 04:15 PM

No, but that just means you should get a 2002 to put them on biggrin.gif

Posted by: Greggers914 May 16 2013, 11:49 AM

know anyone with a 2002?

(Dont need another car)

I know sombody who wants a 2002.

Posted by: bradtho May 31 2013, 03:00 PM

so before I post a WTB to the classifieds, I thought I'd see if anyone local had a nice straight chrome rear bumper they'd be willing to sell. Shipping on these things has to be a hassle, so would prefer to avoid that if possible.

All Teeners:

I've never been to a Teener Tuesday, but in case you haven't heard, every sunny, non-raining Saturday starting in April, all kinds of "Exotics" get together on Saturday mornings at Redmond Town Center.

There are lots of old Porsches, BMW's, Ferraris, etc.

I usually make it a couple of times a month during the summer, and there are often 150+ cars of all makes. (mostly european)

A 914 showing would be cool. (I've taken both my 85 "Ass dragger" and 914 to the event, and both are welcome.)

anyway, if you're not doing anything Saturday morning, come on down. (Its held in the parking lot where the old Borders store used to be. )

its a great crowd, and cars range from a $30m 1968 Ferrari GTO that Greg Whitten drives there once in a while to 60's Alfas, BMW's, Porsches, etc.

Fun time. lots of cool cars.

Greg James

agreed. I recommend staying til the end and lining up on the road they exit by so you can hear them! best part.

Posted by: Greggers914 May 31 2013, 08:36 PM

you can google "Exotics in Redmond" and get to their web site.

it gives details about featured cars, drives, etc.

fun time. I'm going tomorrow.

the weather looks good tomorrow.

there will be tons of cars in Redmond @ Redmond Town Center for the weekly Saturday morning gathering. it starts about 9am. Its good to get there a bit early if you want a good parking spot.

I'm going to drive my 2.0 out there. hope to meet other teeners.

Looking for a machine shop recommendation in the Seattle area!

My wife's car (62 Sunbeam) needs some head work. looking for a local shop, close to Redmond is a big plus, to have head resurfaced, some welding (aluminum), valves ground, etc.

I got a couple recommendations at WCR, but the names escape me now. dry.gif

Has anyone used East Side machine in Redmond?

Posted by: Greggers914 Jul 10 2013, 07:26 PM

Take a lawn chair and find yourself a place to sit near an intersection around dinner time. Lots of the cars are driven around and you'll get to hear them drive by. In past years I've spent the evening watching the parade. Wish I was home this weekend

parking will be a major headache and you may have to pay to use the museum lot. do this...on puyallup ave there is a 4 story sound transit (w/security) parking garage. it's a 2/3 block walk to the museum. i doubt the pnwr group will let you sneak in with your 914. it's a 15 minute drive for me. i think i'll drive down and have a look.

Ended up only checking out the Porsche meet. It was free. The big show was $25 a pop. Got to drive a new Cayman and a new 911. I am now more convinced that the PDK can be very fun. Only one 914 in the group, and it was a '71 -6 with a 2.7L. Great looking car and the guy is from Tacoma even. Left the camera at home though...

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 9 2013, 06:13 AM

was it a fancied up GTish red one? some sort of sport exhaust? i've seen a red one in old town a few times.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Sep 9 2013, 09:54 AM

It was a black narrow body with a neon green cage and neon green lips on 16" Fuchs.Did have sport eexhaust though.

Looks like I am moving to Dallas in October. Hopefully I can find some great Teeners down there like up here.

So I have two studded snow tires on steel rims that I won't need anymore. Looking to get $60 for the pair OR trade for a speedometer and or a steering wheel horn cap.

Thanks guys for all the help!

Fellas,
I have decided because of space issues to sell my 914.

Basics: 1975. Rust free. 2.0. Metallic Copper. new clutch, shocks, tune up, brakes, antenna, etc etc (All work done by Akers or Nate). perfect original interior. no cracks on dash.(Time warp interior). top is original and in great condition.

Orginal steel wheels. original carpet still fine.

Car runs great and is basically a close-to-perfect original 914. it was owned by one of my employees, and he never drove it in the rain. previous owner was a Boeing engineer. He also kept it garaged.

It is listed on Craigs list.

Sequimtoberfest October 26, 2013
Just throwing this out and seeing if it sticks

My Neighbor has a yearly event beer3.gif beerchug.gif beer.gif whitch has now become Sequimtoberfest. Lots of beer, brats, liderhosen ( on the guys) , Dindles (on the girls), and all out fun and games.
So, I'm thinking ,weather permitting, any Teeners who want to come out for a mid morning run, then Tap the Keg at 2:00. Party all night until the keg runs out or you pass out. Beer donations $5 per person, otherwise bring extra beer, and something to grill. lots of German goodies being provided.
Plenty of room for Parking, room in the RV, Tents, 1 guest room, and 2 couches for sleep overs.
Each year this event has doubled in size, should be 50-80 people this year.
Come one come all
Let me know if your interested

Who needs a file cabinet? I have four 4 drawers that are 30" wide. My customer doesn't want them and I'd rather give them away to my friends than do the craiglist dance. These are commercial quality so they are perfect for holding parts and tools in the garage. I also have one 2 drawer. These are good enough for you to use in your office if you'd like. Take one, take them all. I just want them gone.

I plan to do some work this Friday, 12/20, and could use a few helping hands. I have to drop the engine from the 911, the starter from the -6 needs to be checked (I assume it's defect, will not engage), and the LE still has a high idle. I can offer beer, coffee, soda, and pizza biggrin.gif Would start around 4 PM I think.

I can be a helper monkey. Assisting in the 911 engine drop would be quite useful for me.

I'm over in West Seattle and depending on where you're located could do a touch earlier as well.

I happen to have one. It is in one piece, but needs to be cleaned up a little. motor on it is ok too IIRC. Probably bringing up some other parts for Billy and Jeurgen so I'll dig it out if you're headed to Jeurgen's place tomorrow, or whatever works for you if you're interested.

Posted by: bradtho Dec 20 2013, 09:14 AM

Sweet. So the box I've got is completely functional but covered in overspray. I'm painting this winter (I hope) so looking to make this look up to the rest of the car while I've got the tank out. I'm happy to meet you where ever, but not sure what today's snow means for any travel plans.

Forecast says rain should start in a few hours and snow will be gone so I will be in the garage working on the cars. If someone is interested in joining me tomorrow let me know, might be safer to drive. Plan is to work on Saturday afternoon for a few hours, beer and food can be provided!

Kevin (rhodyguy) might come with a MPS he has as a spare and that might help me also chasing the high idle I have with the LE.

Jim: a mystery benefactor/lurker PM'd me that he had a couple excellent condition boxes that he'd bring up to Juergen's tomorrow. I'm moving on that since you said yours was probably about the same condition as the one I have. Let me know if yours is actually easy on the eyes. I'm sure neither one of us would mind you taking dibs on my $$$.

Posted by: Daiberl Dec 21 2013, 10:31 PM

Thanks to Kevin, Brad, and Jim for helping today. Jim at the end also got the LE to idle perfectly and the starter on the -6 was changed to a starter Kevin delivered and now the car runs again! The only work left is to drop the engine in the 911 but I first have to figure out how to safely get the 911 on the scissor lift, much more tricky than a 914 based on the weight distribution.

Posted by: rhodyguy Dec 22 2013, 07:08 AM

HOORAY! piratenanner.gif driving.gif a successful day in the garage. i was think about adjusting lift setup for the cab yesterday during the drive home. had PLENTY of time to think. worse than the usual king county traffic. every exit near a mall was a parking lot.

a major upside to the day was i saw the type of lift i'm going to buy.

can you use a ratchet strap to tie off the rear to the lift to keep it from lifting? or would the lift tilt also?

Posted by: rhodyguy Dec 22 2013, 01:15 PM

pretty tippy on the rear. like able to pick/rock the car up by hand. long span for the lift arms, hard to find good spots for the arms with no jacking doughnuts on the floor and the bulk of the weight is well rear of the arm/lift centerline. you can tell where floor jacks have been used in the past to raise the car.

Hey guys - been a while since I last posted, intro page 233. Got the car back from Eurotech in the spring but haven't had time to work on it until recently. Here's a picture of the car fresh from the shop:

I'm currently refurbing the headlight assemblies and I'm looking for the following parts:
1) Black plastic "Protection Cap" (headlight mechanism covers) - need both sides
2)Backing plate for outboard headlight pivot bracket
3) headlight stop screw (M8 with oversized head and slotted on the threaded end)

If any of you have these parts to sell I'd appreciate it! Thanks,

Happy to, bit more about the project first. I repaired the hell hole and concluded that body work was not for me so Eurotech took it from there. They repaired the seal channels around the targa seal and front trunk, fitted replacement doors (thank you 914world members), fitted sway bars (ditto), stripped the exterior and undercoating, deleted the radio antenna, repaired the rear trunk lid, fitted a new left jack point and new rocker covers, reworked the front and rear valances (think the rear is from a six so will have to adjust the tailpipe), removed numerous dings and resprayed most of the car including the underside, trunks and engine compartment. Original color was Willow green and I think this is close if not the same.

Couple more photos

Relative to the power plant, the heads were cracked and other parts were worn, so the engine was rebuilt to a little over 2.0 L, balanced and cammed for carbs by NW connecting rod. Transaxle has been rebuilt.

The front bumper has bee rechromed, I'm this far in so I'll have the rear rechromed to match. Hood/trunk latches and other hardware will be sent off for yellow nickel plating.

So now to refurbing individual components and re-assembly. Headlights as of this evening:

Anybody have a source for yellow CAD plated sheet metal screws or socket head cap screws? Is 914rubber a good source for seals?

I plan on helping Billy get some electrical issues straight. If anyone has some knowledge on converting a /4 to /6 electrically, let us know. Does an early 2.7 require a voltage regulator? Research I have done indicates it does, just not sure. I thought 911 engines had an internally regulated alternator.
Thanks,
Tom

Posted by: bradtho Apr 12 2014, 04:05 PM

I just finished my 5-lug conversion and we're trying to move so I'm motivated to pass some of this stuff along to anyone who could use it. Thought I'd try our private thread before posting in the official classifieds. I know the 4 lug stuff is pretty much "dime a dozen" but if you need something you need it. Let me know, here's what I've got...

4 2.0 liter Fuchs. DD condition refinished by EUROTECH a couple years ago. Still look good, but short of perfect. Black insets, running Bridgestone Potenza's all-seasons 195/55/15 with plenty of tread left.
1 Steelie spare, original spare to my car, probably never used. Has a 165/15 on it. Holds air just fine.
Powder coated early/pinch struts, powder coated dust shields
Front rotors with plenty of life left
Front calipers still gold looking, plenty of pad left
Rear hubs

I'm not expecting to make up the cost of my conversion and happy to give anyone local a good deal if they can use any of this.

I've also got an alternator for free to anyone that wants it. Unknown condition.

Anyone know a decent somewhat local upolstery shop to do a recover on my side bolsters? Have someone lined up to re-do the back and bottom, but they won't touch the bolsters. Not necessarily looking to go stock either. $500 JUST for material is a little steep IMHO.

Posted by: callplatinum Apr 14 2014, 07:16 PM

If any of the locals get together plz email me. I don't always check in here.
I've owned a 914 for about a year now and would love some additional eyes on my car to guide me on what to do about some rust issues, I don't think they are bad at all, but I really don't know these cars.

I think it was Messix that was driving by one day in her work truck and chatted me up a bit. Guess he spotted the car from the highway, nice guy.

Anyways, appreciated.

Movin' up. We're heading to Gig Harbor in May. The current plan is to get a travel trailer and put it at a Gig Harbor RV park until we build or find a place to buy.

I'll be there next week, Tuesday & Wednesday to finalize the trailer and intend to move the following week - to arrive on May 1.

So, if/when there are breakfasts, lunches, dinners, drives my yellow car should be there.

I just finished my 5-lug conversion and we're trying to move so I'm motivated to pass some of this stuff along to anyone who could use it. Thought I'd try our private thread before posting in the official classifieds. I know the 4 lug stuff is pretty much "dime a dozen" but if you need something you need it. Let me know, here's what I've got...

4 2.0 liter Fuchs. DD condition refinished by EUROTECH a couple years ago. Still look good, but short of perfect. Black insets, running Bridgestone Potenza's all-seasons 195/55/15 with plenty of tread left.
1 Steelie spare, original spare to my car, probably never used. Has a 165/15 on it. Holds air just fine.
Powder coated early/pinch struts, powder coated dust shields
Front rotors with plenty of life left
Front calipers still gold looking, plenty of pad left
Rear hubs

I'm not expecting to make up the cost of my conversion and happy to give anyone local a good deal if they can use any of this.

I've also got an alternator for free to anyone that wants it. Unknown condition.


Early Steelie? I'll take it off your hands for my Ghia.

The newly painted green 914, is that where my black 72 doors went to? Looks great!

Looks like my move to Gig Harbor will be around the 1st of June.

It seems that Washington will exchange my California DL for a Washington DL with no issues. but what about the car registration?

It's a 2056 with Webers. Is there a physical inspection? Will the inspectors know that it's not stock?

thanks,

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer May 17 2014, 05:51 PM

Washington is way easier when it comes to cars. If its older than 25 years they probably won't even glance at it. And stock is not a big deal at all as long as its not earsplitting loud.

Posted by: NORD May 17 2014, 06:17 PM


You will just take your title into the license dept. and pay to change to WA title, plates and pay the fee. They will not need to see the car.

Welcome to the PNW.

Posted by: rhodyguy May 18 2014, 08:38 AM

jim, as noted there shouldn't be any emissions testing for your car (non-exempt testing is required every 2 yrs in most areas) due to the 25 yr exemption nor do we have a yearly safety inspection. enjoy your relocation to washington. plan on looking into purchasing goodtogo transponders for crossing the tacoma narrows bridge. there is a goodtogo office in GH.

Posted by: JimN73 May 18 2014, 10:31 AM

Thanks for the info.

Bremerton Sports Car Club. Car classification rules seem fairly straightforward, are there any 914s there? Bremerton and the PCA should give me a pretty good AX schedule.


Posted by: sportlicherFahrer May 18 2014, 11:23 AM

I do Bscc and PCA out in Bremerton. More chance seeing another 914 with the PCA, but the Bscc crowd are great people as well.

We'll be looking in Gig Harbor (not too far out on KPN), Olalla and southern Port Orchard.

We've spent a couple of days there with our real estate agent and are going to focus on those areas, but if the right place comes up and is a little further away, we will go for it.

Posted by: JimN73 Jun 14 2014, 04:40 PM

Saw a yellow 914 in Port Orchard at about 12:30. Was out looking at houses in our white MINI. Waved and got a wave back.

Someone here?

If it's still open, up the stairs from the parking lot/swap. On greenwood....superb pancakes.

Did the Artist Point Run last night with our local Club. Still snow on the hills up there high but still worth it, I love that drive. Road is starting to show some roughness caused by the winter but still OK.

Nate came along and did some GoPro video so he may post?

Do to the Dr Evil Tranny Clinic up here in the PNW my car will be down for a few weeks for tranny rebuild. Don't see any weekend free to do a 914 Breakfast and Artist Point Drive. If weather holds into the fall perhaps September, middle of month.

I opted for Porsche day at Redmond Town Center mostly because I don't have any priceless treasures that I wanted to over charge for! Anyway, it didn't disappoint. I met a guy named Stacey with an incredible and all original 73 2 liter. He recently bought it from his uncle and brought it up from Nevada. The paint looked fantastic and the interior was perfect. His wife owned a 1.7 at one point, so they've definitely got the bug. Here's a couple of pics.

Btw this was the only 914 there this year.

Unbelievable! What a guy....always smiling with a good word for everybody. Passionate about his pursuits like fishing or autocross or organizing Artist Point runs.

This is stunning news. Had breakfast with him after the swap meet a week ago. We talked about his plans to get his place up for sale so he could go back down to Mexico, get a boat and go fishin'....he told me, "that's what I really want to do."

Don't know what to say. I'm shocked and saddened. We definitely need to get a caravan together for the memorial.

Troy just messaged me. I was just thinking of him last Saturday as I viewed Mt Baker, thinking I would love to make his breakfast run to Artist point this year. My condolenceses to his family, Nord was always smiling and having fun. I know he was close to alot of you PNW and World brothers, many stories will be remembered and retold about him. I can reflect on the several times we met and hung out. Always a class act. His memory will last with me until its my turn.........
RIP Nord sad.gif sad.gif

Posted by: RockinOldSchool Aug 13 2014, 12:50 AM

Very sad day. I first met him on the joint Chuckanut Sports Car Club/914 Baker cruise in August of 2009. Within 5 minutes of meeting him, he had offered to let me use his garage to work on my teener as I didn't have a decent place to work on her up here.

He was a great guy and went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome and included. School and work enveloped my life and I hadn't seen him in several years even though I live only a few miles down the road from his place. I now feel guilty for having not made time for more of the local events.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend as I am in Colorado through Tuesday for a family reunion.

I can't catch a break! Put my little green teener up for sale and two more green ones show up.

Here is my CL posting: http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/4688273055.html

So I plan on doing some work on her this week and fix a few things before she sell. My bottom line is $3,000.00 and she is worth that. As Rich says she has got some good bones. As far as rust goes almost all of it is surface rust. Hell hole was treated two years ago.

I just moved back from spending 11 months in Fairbanks Alaska where I did see one teener, a silver one. I am looking for work so if anyone has heard of something in the sales management or Project management (telecom or software) let me know. If I get a job in the next week or two I will be able to keep my girl.

Even if she has to go I have the teener bug and will get another one as soon as I can.

Thanks guys for your help.

I am looking for work so if anyone has heard of something in the sales management or Project management (telecom or software) let me know. If I get a job in the next week or two I will be able to keep my girl.

Who is interested in getting together for a beer next week Tuesday, 10/14? I would suggest either Big E Alehouse in Lynnwood or Prost at Greenwood Ave close to John Walker's shop.

Posted by: JimN73 Oct 6 2014, 04:43 PM

Prost might work. Are you thinking about lunch?

by the way, there is a separate thread for breakfast on the 25th - Tanglewood Grill in Gig Harbor at 9:14.

Jim, saw the thread with breakfast on the 25th but can't make it unfortunately. For 10/14 I was thinking about meeting in the evening for a beer or two, maybe around 7:30 PM.

I still intend to make the trip, at least an hour for me. I am going to try to get there a little before 7 and have some extra time in case the trip takes a long time. If I'm actually early, I'll get something to eat.

Anybody else with anearly ETA?

jim, i seriously doubt you are going to make it in 1 hour via the bridge. traffic will be nothing like driving to the swap meet. you might consider taking the boat from bremerton, avoiding I-5 altogether and using an alternative like 15th ave nw.

Wow, last post in the Teener Tuesday is from November last year, that has to change!
Who here has some experience with MFI, my -6 ran fine last time I drove after getting the transmission back in, now it does not want to start. I'm a bit lost finding the problem myself, it's kind of challenging to look in the engine bay while at the same time turning the key in the ignition smile.gif I plan to be in my shop Sunday most of the day so if somebody is interested in helping feel free to ping me, I can provide coffee, soda, beer, ...

I've got the grandkids Friday at dinner time and they're spending the night. I could help on Saturday till 3 or so, if that would help. Sunday I'm busy again. Tom is coming over to help out with the wiring.

Posted by: JimN73 Mar 3 2015, 07:21 PM

Some of us grumpy old farts in the South Sound find that driving to Seattle on a week night during rush hour takes a lot of time and is not fun.

There are half dozen or more teeners on the west side of the sound and some in Tacoma that would probably like to get together for a beer/lunch or breakfast.

We had a pretty good breakfast in Gig Harbor last October that drew some fun loving guys from Seattle, Portland and Anacortes - so it can be done.


Posted by: SLRPY MN Mar 3 2015, 07:47 PM

oh well sweet because im stationed in bremerton and just got my first 914 last friday. I know its on the verge of running its just being finicki... also i kinda am using the generosity of some friends to keep it in their driveway until i can get it moving under its own power or i find my own place with a decent garage to work on it at. sadly i fear the latter is more likely

So do this April 18th @ 4pm at Rivals Sports Pub in Lynnwood?? That works for me. Maybe it'll be doable for Eddie by then. . . What say the masses??

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Apr 14 2015, 12:46 PM

How about we switch it to the 26th at XXX? Talked to Jeff this morning and he said he's going to that anyhow. We can haze him a little and bring out the 914's to crowd in the tail draggers that'll be there. Hopefully the weather will be nicer than last year too.

Maybe one or two of you that can't make the 18th could make that?

Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 14 2015, 01:46 PM

the 26th? i'm out. this was a good idea troy, sorry it went south.

Can we do around 10:30 at the McD at Exit 7, 9:00 is really early and the last few times most of the cars show up around 11:00 or so. I plan to meet a friend at the Thriftway at Ballinger around 10 AM and could then come to the McD.

I met him last Monday and was shocked he wasn't on 914World. He found a 75 in a barn years ago and it's looking to be in good shape.

Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 26 2015, 04:18 PM

The 914s caused quite a stir when we drove in. Crowded around the cars. There were a few Seattle 'legends' sharing story's and commented the sharp increase in interest in them. Not a lot of early/mid 911s but plenty of modern ones. The modern all look the same to me when there are a bunch of them lined up. The vw event was ridiculous. At least to get in. $5 to park and $10 a head. $25 to go and say hi to Nate? Nope. Hi Nate! bye1.gif

Glad to hear we caused a 914 stir. I went with my nephew to the VW show. Paid the price and never found Nate or the Squarsche. Pretty big price just to have the whole thing under cover. May be my last time there. Sad situation when a CSOB can't afford a VW show.

I did have a nice chat with Mario Velotta of thedubshop.net and we discussed a quick-upgrade to the 2056cc I currently have in the Squarsche.

Posted by: jsaum Jul 2 2015, 10:23 AM

Anyone up for a teener Tuesday? Nice cold beer or two sounds pretty good to me! North, south, or in the middle somewhere?

Posted by: JimN73 Jul 2 2015, 11:38 AM

Middle, (below Seattle?), or south works for me.

Jim, is the treck to Seattle wearing a little thin?

Posted by: JimN73 Jul 2 2015, 12:08 PM

Kevin, I have made the 914 trip only once, to Walker's swap meet last year. I had planned on one trip, but the afternoon traffic kept me home.

Driving in Seattle is like driving in SF. Too many hills, too many cars - but I go up every now and then.


Posted by: jsaum Jul 3 2015, 10:45 AM

How does Renton work? Anyone up to get together at the the landing in Renton?. There's a place called world of beer there that I've been wanting to check out.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jul 3 2015, 10:52 AM

I've heard from coworkers that World of Beers is a good spot. The Berliner off of exit 4 is also really good. Good selection of German beers on draft. Sadly, it will be a while until I can make another Tuesday meet.

On another note, I'm stuffing in the 2056 today. Hopefully I'll be driving her again this weekend. Its already been over a year! blink.gif

When are you planning to go Saturday, might come down for a few hours.

Posted by: sdthomas Jul 3 2015, 04:54 PM

James, I'm up for a cold beer Tuesday evening. Seattle/north would be ideal, but I could brave Renton.

Posted by: Daiberl Jul 3 2015, 06:26 PM

I could do Tuesday if we meet North of Seattle, something like Big E Alehouse or Elliot Bay Brewing in Lake City.

Posted by: JimN73 Jul 3 2015, 06:48 PM

North doesn't work from the South Sound. Takes me well over an hour to get to Seattle. then add time to get thru the City.

Posted by: jsaum Jul 4 2015, 11:23 AM

Let's see if any of the south end guys chime in I'm up for another one in a few weeks in the north end. The last time we tried the north it was only Billy and myself who showed. The summer is starting to slip away!

So who is heading to the John Walker Porsche Swap meet this Saturday?? Here's the text off the CL ad:

"This is the ONLY Porsche related Swap Meet all year in Seattle.
Lots of 911 parts among other porsche models.

The Annual John Walker's Workshop/PCA/PNWR Swap Meet is Saturday, August 1st.
The time is 8am to 1 pm. The location is the Phinney Neighborhood Association lower parking lot, which is 1/2 block east of N67th st and Phinney ave N, in North Seattle. The address is 6532 Phinney Ave N, Seattle, Wa, 98103. Google that for a map and directions. There is no charge to sell or to shop. This is the one time each year that you can clean the extra stuff out of your garage and get some money back to buy new stuff. The more vendors the better. Vendors, bring your own table, tent, etc., or just lay stuff on the ground. Body parts, interior, wheels, literature etc, etc. it's all there. Porsche related only please. Any questions, call John @ jwworkshop at aol dot com."

For those new to the area, it's a really good Porsche only swap. I'm planning to be there around 8am (maybe just a bit earlier). We can catch a late breakfast/early lunch at a local eatery around 10am or whenever folks are ready. . .

Who's in??

Posted by: rhodyguy Jul 28 2015, 08:25 AM

I was wondering about walker's swap just this am. Last year's worked out pretty well for me.

btw. for those that might be coming from the south end and use the alaskan way viaduct be prepared for traffic HASSLES (i aways used this route)! pretty sure the AWV is going to be closed this weekend due to work on the north end of the battery st tunnel. i would expect south bound I-5 to be a mess also. prep work for the multi billion $ replacement tunnel that may never be finished.

Posted by: Daiberl Jul 28 2015, 12:51 PM

Plan to be there early, breakfast around 10 AM sounds good.

Posted by: rdauenhauer Jul 28 2015, 04:22 PM

Im in.
Ive got a few bits I could off & need to come up for air.

I was thinking... perhaps the NW crew should take this opportunity to establish
our own tradition.
Call it the Nord memorial breakfast..?

Posted by: jsaum Jul 28 2015, 04:45 PM

We were also kicking around the idea of a annual Nord memorial run. We should talk about it as well. I plan to sell some stuff but could do breakfast too.

Posted by: rhodyguy Jul 28 2015, 05:27 PM

unsure whether i'll still be there for bfast. try and sell a few things and get out.i'll prob be there before 7. you have to be ahead of the traffic by an hour.

Posted by: JimN73 Jul 28 2015, 08:00 PM

Looks like this is Seafair/Fleet Week. What will that do the the trip from South of Seattle - before and after breakfast?


Posted by: rhodyguy Jul 29 2015, 06:36 AM

jim, the biggest impact this weekend will be on sunday due to the hydroplane races. saturday will be a hassle due to road construction and later in the afternoon as there is at least a mariners game. perhaps a sounders game too. you'll be long out of town before they start.

I'm headed out to the garage to hunt down an engine noise. Still down for meeting up tonight. I don't want to be the one to make the decision on time or place just in case I get too busy or go for a drive far enough away that I don't make it back for dinner.

anybody got a front valence they'd sell me? turns out that running your car nice and low and then backing up over a speedbump is a pretty efficient form of removal!

looking for std front valence (my car is a 72, but I don't think these changed until 75 if ever, except for the LE's of course). reasonably straight and rust free. I'm going to paint it so if condition is good, it doesn't have to be pretty.

Thank you Brad.

The extra room is nice. Sure beats working on the car out of my parent's one car garage a couple years back. Picked up this shop for a good price, and it came with a detached house! biggrin.gif

No Way! you got your heads back ~!

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Feb 29 2016, 02:20 PM

I've had my original heads back for a while now. If I install them, the warranty goes out the window. I can only get the one bad head warrantied, and will have to either assume the other head had better work done on it or pay for it myself. Still thinking about what I will do. She will be running one way or another for the rally though.

Posted by: rhodyguy Feb 29 2016, 02:28 PM

The ones done in Spanaway are bad? What good is a warranty that goes away when parts are put into service?

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Feb 29 2016, 02:39 PM

The ones I had rebuilt in University Place are great. It's the ones that came on the engine I bought last year that are bad. So different set of heads. The ones I had done on my dime aren't part of the warranty deal, and I want to save them for a GA motor that will have a closer number to my build date instead of a GC block.

I say you all come up to Bellingham where I have yet to meet any teeners and rip around Chuckanut Drive! It's an awesome little cruise. I'd love to meet some local people eventually, have only seen one 914 here since I got mine on the road. I'm 17, so I'm pretty sure my somewhat strict parents wouldn't let me go to Issaquah yet!


There's a second seat. . . Bring one of them along. biggrin.gif

Glad to see a younger guy with a teener and semi close too. There are a few of us in the north-end. After the road to Artist point opens up in the mid-summer, I want to organize a run up the mountain and see if we can drag a few of the south sound guys up this way. It's hard to get them out of the traffic down there.

It's about time to start talking about the second annual Nord run to Artist point. July / August? Let's start picking a date!

Posted by: aircooledtechguy Mar 2 2016, 05:05 PM

I'm actually wanting to host this event and throwing a little post-run BBQ at the shop. We could probably do it in July since the winter was mild. It really depends on when the road opens and the road condition. That has always determined the date of this run. We'll know more by WCR 2016. Still too early to plan anything yet.

Finally all ready to drop the engine from the -6 this Sunday, could use some help so if somebody has time late afternoon/early evening let me know! Can offer Pizza and beer.

Posted by: Daiberl Apr 9 2016, 07:05 AM

Need some ideas of how to transport a car. I bought this 356 which is completely in pieces and the body is on a rotisserie which comes with the car. What would be the best way to get the body from Sammamish plateau to my place? Flatbed trailer? If yes where could I rent one? Or should I try to get the body of the rotisserie, how heavy is the body, how many people would be needed? They want to have the car gone next weekend so I might need some help!

Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 9 2016, 07:10 AM

Rent a truck and appropriate trailer. Uhaul. Off rotisserie, on dunnage, strapped down. Load the truck bed with parts. You'll need some bodies. Where are you going to store the 356? Not much room left at your place?

Bumblebee is parked somewhere else to make room for the 356. Plan is to store it at the moment at my place and once the -6 is done start the restoration. the -6 should go to MN soon and will likely stay there for some time so I should be fine.
I can pull a trailer with Monica's X5 Diesel, that should not be the problem, question is how many people would be needed to get the car off the rotisserie and back on at my place. Would 4 be enough?

Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 9 2016, 07:59 AM

Stripped chassis? 5 or 6 people total? Check with uhaul first before deciding on the bmw. They have specific rules with regards to tow weight AND tongue weight. You can rent a pu or cargo van at most locations for $19.95 per day (24 hours) plus mileage. I had to pick up 900# of oak flooring in Seattle this past week. Cargo van ran about $90 for rental and mileage and I expect your use mileage would be about the same. A van or pu will haul a lot more parts than the bmw.

Posted by: messix Apr 9 2016, 10:57 AM

flat bed roll back tow truck. would be the most painless

Posted by: rhodyguy Apr 9 2016, 02:40 PM

Don't forget to replace the fuel you use before the return. It's in the neighborhood of $4.50 a gal if uhaul does it. You can reserve the vehicle and trailer ahead of time with a credit card. I wouldn't wait til the last minute.

One of the first 356B built, in about 27 boxes, driven in the garage more than 25 years ago, dismantled, put on the rotisserie, all rust cut out (including floor board, ...), and nothing else happened sad.gif Really didn't need a new project but couldn't say no, even my wife told me to buy it (she's a keeper for sure!).

Are there NO trailers anywhere local to you in King or snohomish counties? If you made the reservation and provided a cc # they owe you a trailer or should find one for you. They do have trucks. Did you book online or call?

Waiting for the measurements, it's not that wider than a 356 and we can spin the car around on the rotisserie. Length including rotisserie is around 15 - 16 ft. As soon as I have measurements I will PM you.
If someone wants to help load or unload PM me for the address if you don't have it. Pick up is in Sammamish and I live in Lake Forest Park.

Hey all

Does anyone have an engine stand I could possibly rent or borrow (possibly buy?)for about a month?

I was looking at the buying the EMPI stand and then thought I might see if anyone has one by chance.

Many thanks in advance.

Hey Greg -

I have an engine stand and a 2 arm yolk that I won't be using for awhile. I'm hoping to be heading out of town on tuesday for a couple weeks so you'd have to come get it tomorrow. You can call me at 425.235.eighty three eighty three

Does anyone in the Seattle area have a recommendation for brake work? And approximate cost?

I want to replace the master cylinder with a 19mm.

After taking the engine out, refreshing it and putting the FI back to stock, I think I'm going to do myself a favor and outsource the job. Tired of crawling under the car!

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Monty at Redmond European regularly works on air cooled porsches. One day when I dropped my car off there were 4 914's in his lot. I think the fact that others in town won't work on 914's helps his business some.

Thanks for the recommendation! That's what I was looking for, someone who wouldn't mind working on teeners!

I'll have him do brakes and a tune.

Got the motor back in the car today, and it running. Still gotta get it dialed in. I spent way too much time gapping the points.

Had the car idling and timed correct, then drove in the alley and stalled. I suspect due to the clutch not disengaging causing the car to lug and stall.

Trying to eat this elephant one bite at a time!

Appreciate it.

Thanks Billy!
I can definitely do that! Was thinking of hosting a work party just to verify my timing and valve clearances. I'd hate to have folks do brakes though. That seems mean. LOL.

Good tip on John. He was who I was going to take 911sc to but totally wasn't thinking about the 914.

This is Miles ' car that he bought when he was 14 and I'm trying to get it really dialed in (maybe there's no such thing as 914 nirvana)for his 18th birthday at the end if the month.

I'm in West Seattle so we could also do an Alki drive.

I'll keep you all posted. driving.gif

Walker (and Chris) are the 2 guys I regularly hear won't work on 914's. Maybe they mean they won't work on Type IV's.

Either way, Monty is a good guy and has done some great work for me, though it's hardly convenient to West Seattle!

Yeah, that's Chris Powell. Super knowledgeable guy. He's active with PCA and has hosted many workshops.

I was under the same impression that John Walker doesn't work on 914's much-- I could totally be wrong. I'll give them both a call as well as Monty.

We're have an abundance of great Porsche shops around year.... didn't know if one in particular rose to the top pertaining to Type 4/ 914s.

sheesh, quiet month around here, no posts since 8/20. I really enjoyed the Artist point run. we should do better than one drive a year, though clearly this is the wrong season to bring that up!

Anyway, after several years of talking about it, I'm ready to start my 6 conversion. So if you have an engine hiding in your shed, or know a guy, or hear about something let me know. I'd consider anything from a 2.4 - 3.2. My opinion changes regularly on that, and I figure it's likely best to be a bit open in case a great option pops up.

In other news, I've got a metal radio plate that I need to cut for a slightly bigger hole. It's probably 14-16 gauge metal and I just need to make straight cuts. What's the best CSOB tool for something like this? Or maybe someone close has a plasma cutter? smile.gif

adding a buch of money to your build and headaches with extra plumbing and all that goes with to have power you cant use seems illogical ....but i bet a 3.2 would be lots of fun to drive on a course with a TBD installed other wise im guessing lots of tire spin im very happy with the 2.4+ in my car... it has plenty of haul ass

hope for a sunny day soon and well take her for a spin and invite Kurt and that slow ass 911 biggrin.gif for a joy run up I-90

Moldygreg,

Where in West Seattle?

I live near Alki Beach.

Cheers,

Hey Eddie, nice to virtually meet you.

I'm on 40th Ave near Fairmont Park between Morgan and Alaska junctions.

Greg



Hello Greg, Eddie:

Stumbled across this post when the "Puget Sound Teeners" thread moved back into the spotlight. Good to know there's a couple other addicts in West Seattle. I'm still waiting for my teener to be finished. Currently at the upholstery shop in Ballard. It's been a journey. Would be great to meet up somewhere in WS to swap lies, do a drive, etc. sometime this coming year. I live above Alki, near Schmitz Park.

Happy Thanksgiving all.

Nothing car related, but I'd like to invite you all to join Julie and I for dinner on February 10th in Seattle. The event is a fundraiser for a non profit that we support. There will be a buffet dinner and lots of wine (not the cheep stuff!). We will be celebrating valentines that night and avoiding the crowds on the 14th. Tickets are $150/ couple and there's an auction too. This won't be a cheep date night.

Where does the $ go? We'll we buy food in bulk (semi loads) and donate it to Northwest harvest for distribution. Just last month we passed the 200 MILLION pound mark.

I know this isn't everybodies thing, but if you're interested in more information , let me know.

Our area, Summit, was one of those that got slammed. The 'convergence zone' was pretty well centered on us. I have 10-12" on the property. No plowing for the street and it's going to freeze solid. The tire ridges are tall. We won't be able to leave the property til it melts off. Snow is so homey and beautiful...for about 1 hour. Then it's just white shit.

I completely understand Mike, there's a ton of interesting cars out there, but when they get too rare it starts to decrease your enjoyment because you're too worried about stuff. that's why my 1.7 914 is a great choice for me. I feel no guilt modifying it and ultimately its way more valuable to me than it would be to anyone else.

good luck with the sale.

@Jeff, If I am correct the gents name is Robin and it is a recently restored Bumble bee.
I helped him install the front glass last summer.
He told me he intended on selling it, but again IIRC he works for the WA State Ferry service & has a tough schedule so perhaps he hadn't found the time.

Will try to come if we can get something done this Tuesday depending on location. Eastside or more north is Seattle preferred.

Posted by: JimN73 May 21 2017, 09:54 PM

Can't do Tuesday. Darn.

Posted by: Tbrown4x4 May 22 2017, 02:58 AM

I'd love to, but the car is still out of commission. Planning to meet up some other time soon.

My wife saw the 914 stranded on her way home from lunch with the kids. She usually doesn't notice such things.

Posted by: rhodyguy May 22 2017, 10:22 AM

had a disappointing attempt to drive north last friday starting at 3:45. sad.gif i was just going as far as the airport. about 9 miles and an hour later i got off 167 (Sumner) and drove home on surface streets. that took another hour+ to get in the garage. it's just impossible. when is the next XXX function?

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer May 22 2017, 05:57 PM

About the only way I'll be able to do any teener Tuesdays is if we all meet up somewhere in The Landing up here in Renton around 6:45ish. My lunch is 7-7:30pm. Gotta love working swings sometimes...

Looks like it's just the 2 of us and we live at opposite ends of the road. I just got an invitation to a scholarship awards event and since my wife is one of the donors she wants me there with her. Maybe another day.

Sorry to hear that Eddie. I lost one of my best friends last week too. He request a service that will be held in Hawaii for the spreading of his ashes. It was just like him to make every event into something fun. Hasn't been scheduled yet, but I'm kind of looking forward to it.

On another subject, I'm registered for the June 3rd PCA brewery tour too. This he loss of my friend has been a reminder that I need to drive the car more often.

There were about as many vendors as there were buyers at the swap meet. Only a few with 914 stuff. The vendors may have been the biggest buyers.

But, the reason for the message.

There was a fellow there with a console with gauges and bracket. My plans are changing and I'd like to talk to him. So, if you're out there, please send a PM.

hey gang, a few of you may know from a thread in the classifieds, but I got hit about a month ago. the other insurance has accepted full liability, but they (allstate) are declaring it a loss. Is anyone familiar with how loss/salvage titles work in WA? I feel its worth continuing to fight this by getting a lawyer because otherwise I take a forever hit to the value of the car due to the loss declaration. so if anyone has an insurance lawyer recommendation let me know.

has anyone ever dealt with these title issues in our state to give me some input?

and because all good threads need pics, I'll include this even though it's depressing.

thanks Andrew. I've been talking w/ them this weekend. His position basically comes down to the Hagerty Concourse value being set around $23.5k. My interior isn't restored and it's a driver so not clean everywhere, making it hard to justify concourse condition. He suggests that any additional money I was able to get from Allstate would likely be offset by the legal fees to get there. so my options at this point seem to be:
- buy the totaled car and live with the salvage title (I'm not likely to go this route)
- find another body shop to do the work for less and rework the deal with Allstate
- take the money and run. they'll write me a check for $22k right now.

I'll make my decision this week sometime.

Posted by: Rocky Sep 22 2017, 08:06 PM

It's horrible to see a nice car go down. So sorry for you Andrew, I have bad dreams of that very thing happening to mine more often than I like. May I ask what you ended up doing? I totaled a truck, bought it back for a song after they paid me and fixed it. I ended up in the end with a free truck, that was 15 years ago and I still have it.

Posted by: bradtho Sep 25 2017, 08:11 PM

I haven't yet made it official, but I'm going to let the car go. I just can't see buying the car back, putting more money in it to bring it back, and then completing the 6 conversion I was about to do, only to have the car be worth less than now due to carrying a salvage title.

Now before you jump to "Agreed Value Insurance" I haven't been able to find anyone to cover me with it for a daily driver. well, Chubb did agree, but they wanted $4500/year which is outrageous.

I was OK being upside down in the car, but hadn't really put much thought into the accident or stolen scenario. these things would discourage me from using it which is the whole point, so my next car will be a normally valued car. I'm currently thinking of getting an 80's carrera and keeping it stock.

Posted by: bradtho Oct 8 2017, 02:35 PM

it's final, they towed the car away this week. I'm not sure where it's headed, but could be quite a nice win for someone at auction. 20k on rebuilt 1.7, weidmann restored 15x7 fuchs, raised spindle 911 front struts with alfa brembo's. too much hassle for me, time to move on.

Anyway, I'm working through my parts stash and have a growing pile of stuff that I'd give away free to anyone local. Like any good parts hoarder, some is complete crap and I'll just throw away if no one is interested but some is good stuff that's just not worth the hassle to pack and ship.

I've got another stack of good value parts that I'll list on the classified forum, but would be happy to give a local discount if anyone here is interested in anything.

Hi all -- I'd like to join your community. Back in the 1980s I had a pair of 2.0 914-4s in Arizona. The 75 was crap and I gave it away. The 73 was pretty good, but I left it in Arizona when I first moved to Seattle because everyone in Arizona told me it would just rust away here.

I'm buying a 1970 914 that's been punched out to 2.4 liters and probably still has some kinks. Unfortunately the car is in California, near San Jose, and we haven't decided how to get it up here yet.

I'm going to have a lot of questions for you guys, including who you'd recommend for help getting the dual Dellortos tuned properly.

I've also got a stock 1991 Miata I'd like to keep if I can find a place to park it.

--Michael

Posted by: davehg Oct 30 2017, 01:47 PM

Looks like Bradtho's 1.7 went to auction and sold - last I checked it was in the $3.4k neighborhood. When it was below 1k I was eyeing it to grab as a parts car.

https://abetter.bid/en/43154567-1972-porsche-914


I've seen Panel Billy's teener, and it's nice. Lots of good inspiration for my build.

Would love to organize a get together. Local tavern in Fall City is a great place to meet, and I have room at my shop (hint - the road up to my house is quite the drive). I'd like to wait a few weeks until we finish bolting the suspension and steering onto the body so I'd have something to look at.

Posted by: bradtho Oct 30 2017, 02:16 PM

hey, thanks for that Dave. nice to know what's happening to it. would love to know the final price. Looks like it still has the Weidmann finished fuchs on it, so there's an easy $1500+ value in it.

Tonight Julie and I are hosting a Halloween gathering at Kent Station. We got our Rotary club to sponsor part of the trick or treat part and to make it more fun we got the bar at Agave restaurant for our party. Starts at 4:30. Ends at 7:???? We have 3000 prices of candy to hand out and the bar has windows we can lean out of to distribute the goodies. What a great way to spend the holiday. Drinking and handing out candy! Costumes are optional. I think I'll be wearing my superman cape.

Posted by: 98101 Oct 31 2017, 06:15 PM

This http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=317826 will arrive via truck transporter in Pacific, WA November 14 or 15, just in case you'd like to check it out with me. I'll be seeing it for the first time also. Wise decision? I guess we'll find out.

As noted elsewhere, in the 1980s I had a pair of 2 liter 914s with the stupid single carb setup. Lovely cars, but I always wanted more power. When I saw this dual Dellorto 2.4 for sale my emotions took over. I haven't had a 914 for 25 years. Thought about a Boxster -- even rented one in Arizona.

I'm driving a scratched up 91 Miata now, which I'll keep if I can find a safe place to park it.

So ... who do you recommend for dialing in carburetors? New engine hasn't been on a sniffer or a dyno before. Also it has a racing harness instead of street-legal seatbelts, which may get old quickly.

Posted by: bradtho Oct 31 2017, 06:25 PM

looks nice and should be fun. I'd probably look for a VW shop with some old guys who can remember working on carbs. there should still be some of them around.

You'll know if there is an issue with the carbs during the first drive. Snapping back thru the carbs, backfiring, going on it's nose during throttle tip in, etc, will require further investigation. If it runs well don't worry about the carbs.

For what it's worth, I live a bit north of downtown Seattle. Doug Chase (chaserace.com) in Duvall did a good job looking over my Miata last year, but I don't know if he's set up for 914s.

You'll know if there is an issue with the carbs during the first drive. Snapping back thru the carbs, backfiring, going on it's nose during throttle tip in, etc, will require further investigation. If it runs well don't worry about the carbs.


The seller reported a bit of roughness at part throttle, but felt it was smoothing out as the new engine breaks in.

Pretty sure I'll want conventional seatbelts. I'm not geeky enough to drive around Seattle in a racing harness.

Congrats, that looks like a good car and if the motor is done right it should have some good scoot.

I’m meeting up today with another PNW teener to check out his conversion, then headed to SoCal next week to drive my other 3.2 conversion for a few days. I thought about driving or trailering it back but it has no side windows, heat/defroster, and would probably sit most of the winter. So leaving it in SoCal is a better proposition.

Like 98101, I am curious for the 2.7 project if I need to invest in heat exchangers to power the defroster.

Shorten your 2.7 heat exchanger hunt. Contact Mb911 about the units he produces.

We've been in touch - I bought his nicely made tank and am in the que for his stainless exhaust. The issue for me is his unit vs. no heat exchanger. I am leaning toward "heat" mostly for the defrost capability (because let's be serious - this car will rarely/never see snow/rain, but will see cold crisp days where the window fog may be an issue.

Sorry if this is a dumb question: has anyone investigated electric heat for our mild winters? I used to see ads for this in the 1980s VW/Porsche magazines.

My wife used to wear an electric jacket liner on the motorcycle. My car also won't have heat exchangers (not possible with the custom exhaust), so I'm wondering if I could just heat the seats and crack the windows to reduce fogging.

Or take the Miata, if I can find a place to park it.

nothing better than crisp drives with the top off, get heat. And nothing beats the heat exchangers, once the car is up to temp you can melt your shoes!!

Multitudes. There isn't enough electricity in our cars to make real heat. An Eberspacher works well if you want a solution without heat exchangers.

The simplest solution is to dress for the weather outside. It's not colder inside the car. A little down goes a long way. wink.gif I don't want to step outside a toasty car into cold weather anyway. I love the mindset of not having creature comforts in the car. I don't ever want my 914 to be a luxury vehicle.

The little 12v heaters can help with defrosting though.

Yesterday drove the Miata with the top down and heater on. Enjoyed it. This morning it's snowing where I am. Looks like I picked the right time to buy a car without heat exchangers!

This http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=317826 will arrive via truck transporter in Pacific, WA November 14 or 15, just in case you'd like to check it out with me. I'll be seeing it for the first time also. Wise decision? I guess we'll find out.

As noted elsewhere, in the 1980s I had a pair of 2 liter 914s with the stupid single carb setup. Lovely cars, but I always wanted more power. When I saw this dual Dellorto 2.4 for sale my emotions took over. I haven't had a 914 for 25 years. Thought about a Boxster -- even rented one in Arizona.

I'm driving a scratched up 91 Miata now, which I'll keep if I can find a safe place to park it.

So ... who do you recommend for dialing in carburetors? New engine hasn't been on a sniffer or a dyno before. Also it has a racing harness instead of street-legal seatbelts, which may get old quickly.


Is the car still arriving next week?

Yes, that’s the plan. We planned it next week because this week I’m in Brazil for some reason. Pretty excited to see the car, whether it’s in good shape or not, and what it’s like to drive a 2.4.

UPDATE:
Here it is being loaded on the truck:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/xfLsYzM4J3yEUBwj2

It was originally yellow, but from the photos it seems to look fine in black. It's not the sort of car you'd bring back to stock anyway.

If anyone's interested in checking it out, feel free to come see it, or I can bring it by your place.

While looking for secure parking, I stumbled on these buyable storage units:

So I could protect my $14K car for only $140K.

I finally got John Walker's attention by banging on his garage door. He said he doesn't see many 914s anymore, most of them are rust buckets, Dellortos aren't his favorite, and he's pretty busy right now. He said to try again mid-December.

The 2.4 motor with the cam and headers sounds wonderful! I hope I can do something about this coughing. Also I think the clutch is slipping sometimes, though it's hard to tell for sure when the roads are wet.

Does it seem to be coughing out of one carb more than the other?

No experience with the oil cooler stuff.


On a slightly different note I find myself taking some vacation time from work this week. Anything going on for tomorrow? South? North? My garage in Tacoma? Planning on bolting the engine/trans back in my car to make room in the garage until I can get to painting some repair spots. Anyone that wants to come down/up is welcome. Good bit of room in the insulated garage, and depending on weather could break out the grill if needed.

Hmm, now I'm tempted to mount an iPhone in the engine compartment so I can see which carb is acting up while I drive.

Forecast is "rain throughout the day" so I would be coming with my Miata if there's a get together today. It would still be educational for me to see the guts of other people's cars.

I grew up with a dark blue squareback. I'd love to have one of those if I could find one that's not a mess... and a dry place to park it.

The fasty is Val's car Kevin. Now we both have TDI's and air-cooled cars!

So it only coughs under load? Too bad the weather is terrible today. Would be interesting to check plugs, jets, and linkage. From what I understand, Dell's are very close relatives to Webers. Took a little bit of trial and error to figure out where my carbs were happy.

I like that! It reminds me of riding in our (similar) squareback as a kid. Does it have the castle on the steering wheel?

My wife insists on driving an automatic, and also rejected my idea of a used police car. So our family car is a boring LS400.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Nov 21 2017, 10:24 PM

It had the factory wheel in it, but she doesn't like it much. Will probably change it to a Formuling wheel I have.

Sounds like you need to find yourself an automatic Square! The type 3 automatics were much more like a regular auto than the auto-stick stuff they did with the bugs. Too bad they aren't the best DD anymore with values going up and SUV's multiplying like mad with more and more terrible drivers.

Yes, the backfires -- which may be sometimes through the carbs, or sometimes "afterfires" through the exhaust -- happen when driving but don't usually happen when the car is idling. The distributor does not appear to have any vacuum advance, so I'm not even sure how it's supposed to work for ordinary street driving.


Here are a couple videos from today. Please let me know how you'd interpret them.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Nov 25 2017, 03:33 PM

Sounds like it is at least idling okay. Hard to tell what distributor you have installed. I had a 009 dizzy in mine for a bit. Ran like garbage when I rolled on the throttle under load. I have a factory cam still, so I put my old Djet dizzy back in and hooked up ported vacuum for the advance. Smoothed it out quite a bit. Not sure what kind of advance curve that engine would like, but if it has a standard 009 it may like a factory dizzy more. Hard to say without really doing some hands on test and tune. There are a lot of factors that can be in play like spark plugs, valve adjustment, float settings, jets, linkage, and timing. I'm still relatively new when it comes to dialing in the carbs.

Kevin: That would look really cool. The hub splines are the same IIRC, but the hub depth and how it meets with the column is wrong.

- rotors with plenty of life left
- nice set of stock calipers with good brake pads left
- I've got a fresh air box with a working fan and a bunch of overspray from a bad paint job. you know the overspray is gold!

I know you're all CSOB's so this is FREE, FREE, FREE! You could even try to talk me into delivering. I need the space, I only have a 2 car garage, and...

I got a new car last week. I went down to portland and bought an 86 targa. it's in incredible condition, I'm loving it and have had the top off all week long.

I don't have any pics yet but you know what they look like it's a stock guards red targa.

Interesting group of cars. 1 914. Mostly hopped up american late model. 30ish yo group? Cadillac CVTs sedans sure are a popular item. Quite a bit of car for not a lot of money.

Posted by: 98101 Dec 14 2017, 10:51 PM

I think they are salting the freeways in the Seattle area, so I'm not taking the 914 out much.

The famous John Walker had told me to check back with him mid-December, when he thought he might be less busy. So today I did. He did not literally say "F*ck you and your Dellorto-infected 914," but that's kind of how it felt. He was particularly turned off by the Dellorto carbs that came with my car, which I am not especially attached to myself.

John suggested Gerber Motorsports in Ballard might have time for me and my amature hod rod. So I went there, high-lift Web cam going "badabadabadabada."

I felt encouraged to see a beautiful 1973 914 for sale outside Gerber Motorsports. Inside the pristine shop (cleaner than the Swedish Hospital Emergency Room in downtown Seattle I visited last month for different reasons), I saw technicians working on late model Porsches up on fancy lifts. The shop manager apologized and explained that his technician with the most air-cooled experience had recently retired. They really didn't know what to do with my 1970 914. But they'd be willing to do a safety inspection. That's better than nothing, so I agreed to drop the car off next Tuesday for that.

*****************

This sounds like a complaint but it's not. Perhaps all 914 drivers today are nonconformists. This is the price we pay for not being boring. Still, I could use a local mentor so I don't screw this car up worse than it has been already.

I don't know how close you are to McChord Field but you could try Too Quicks German Auto Shop. When I asked them if they could help me tune my carbs I specifically asked if they could show me how to do it also. I haven't been able to take my car to them but they were open to doing what I asked only after the technician did a diagnostics on them and then tuning them before showing me.

Thanks for your help everyone. I have three appointments now:

  1. Tuesday (tomorrow) -- Gerber Motorsports in Ballard for safety inspection. This is about all I want them to do since their air-cooled expert retired. They said I could watch from a distance, but not participate due to insurance reasons.
  2. Thursday -- consultation with Chris Powell. They have a backlog of 914 work now, won't be able to actually touch my car for over a month. If I brought my car there, Chris would not actually be doing the work and it's iffy whether the technician(s) would let me observe.
  3. Boxing Day -- Franklin's VW Werks to inspect and synchronize the carbs. They seemed more flexible with letting me learn from them.

He had at least one 911 in the shop when I saw him. While he seemed to feel bad for turning me away, he said "I don't usually work on 914s. Maybe if it was a stocker...." Previous time he expressed his opinion that Dellortos are a pain in the ass. I can't blame him since I also own a business and the same day turned away work that I didn't want to do because it would involve flying to Florida.

I've got (in my opinion) good idle, good WOT (those rare moments I can use it), and lousy part throttle. Right off the stops, it feels like the carbs disagree with each other. The previous owner did a lot of things strangely, so I'm hoping it will be possible to improve at least a little. I'm also going to put in a 123 Ignition distributor because I want to fiddle with the ignition timing. Oh, and the fuel tank overflow some previous owner left off... spilling gas everywhere.

So here's what that looked like. There are some things on their list that I didn't know about. I marked the ones I think should be handled immediately in red. Feel free to let me know if you agree or disagree.

One issue they didn't notice: the fuel overflow tank and charcoal canister are missing. I've ordered those parts from a list member.

While I'd like to learn how to work on this myself, I'm thinking I should have them (or some other real mechanic) fix the safety-related things. Unlike Chris Powell's shop, they seem to have availability next week. They recommended using a VW shop (so Franklin's VW Werks I guess) for the bluetooth distributor and carburetor tuning, but were willing to do most of the other stuff.

I would say "Yes". Everyone on the forum likes to follow along when someone is working on their car and you'll get lots of good input from others that might not be in this area.

I thought of another shop you could contact: Matt's Greenwood Auto Care. They do not specialize in Porsches, but they do sponsor and maintain a 914 and 944 that run in the PCA autocross series.

I definitely won't have the 914 out on Saturday as the fuel injection system is all apart. But I might run over in the Mini to check it out. It would be nice to get a C&C event started in our area; Redmond and Tacoma are long hauls from Maple Valley.

Maple valley is a long haul from Tacoma and Redmond with no direct route. No heat exchangers? A long, COLD, haul....

I meant to post a followup about Seattle-vicinity mechanics. I'll repost photos I've put up before for context.

As you may recall, after I got my car but it was running badly I dropped by John Walker's shop twice and was sent away because he doesn't usually work on 914s, and especially didn't want anything to do with my Dellorto carbs. Then I went to Gerber Motorsport in Magnolia and got excited because there was a 914 parked outside. It turned out to be a car for sale, not one they were working on. They were willing to do some stuff on the car, but didn't want to touch the Type 4 engine. They did point out that one or both carburetors seemed to be leaking fuel. Also the engine and probably transmission were leaking so much they couldn't tell where the leaks originated.

PanelBilly suggested Franklin's VW Werks in Kent. Franklin looked at my car and immediately pointed out some issues I didn't know about: milky condensation in my oil filler suggesting I wasn't getting the oil hot enough, and worn out hex bar linkage ... explaining why I was having so much trouble synccing the carbs. He suggested ordering a CSP linkage online. One thing I liked about Franklin's is that he let me do the work with him. I hate that most mechanics don't let me see what's going on with my own car. While I was there we dropped in the 123 Bluetooth distributor I wanted to fiddle with. Franklin seemed to have an intuitive sense for air-cooled motors.

When the CSP linkage arrived I installed it myself and synchronized it perfectly, and also tried to clean up the carbs a bit while they were off the manifold. In the process, I noticed the vacuum ports were wide open, not internally sealed as I'd thought.

But even with those closed off, the car ran even worse than before! Also I noticed a large discrepancy between two throats on the same carb, which could have been a bent throttle plate. Here it is at idle, though it was proportionally worse at speed.
Attached Image

So I drove it back to Franklin's, coughing and backfiring all the way. Franklin did everything he could think of, short of disassembling the carbs. We even tried the old 009 distributor. But the problem persisted. I guess he usually sends carburetors to another shop that has a flow bench and stuff. He did have *another* pair of DRLA 45s on his shelf, new old stock without a scratch or a stain. Franklin and his assistant put those on to see what would happen. We were all tired by now, and they had skipped lunch.
Attached Image

Right away everything improved. It idled better than I'd ever heard it before! No way I wanted my old beat up bent throttle plate gas leaking carbs back after that. After calling CB Performance to ask what a good price would be for the Dellortos, he asked $750 for them, and I happily accepted. I'm 80% sure the old carbs could have been gotten working, but wanted the shiny new ones.

Fast forward a month or so: a thief ripped out the custom center console a previous owner had built, one of the features that charmed me -- as well as the crazy assortment of unnecessary gauges. This left my heater controls dangling because they'd been relocated there.

I'm not going to post those photos again because I've gotten enough sympathy. But I would like to know who you'd recommend for interior restoration work?

The car is currently at Chris's German Auto. But Chris said they don't do interior restoration. It's something I'd probably like to learn to do myself except that I've got a business to run and two small children I'd like to spend time with before they outgrow me.

I'm looking to contact the owner of a black 914 who lived in Kirkland, WA in the early-mid '80s. I've been on this forum for a few years, but only just now thought to ask and see if he is here too, or if anyone knows of him. I think his name was Doug.

When I was a 16 year old kid just learning mechanics, he helped me with body work and other repairs on my first car -- a '73 Capri. He gave me a ride one night in his black 914 with the targa off, which was really cool for me. I had admired 914s for years as a kid, so it was really cool to get to ride in one! As it turned out, this was my only ride in one, until finally buying one 25 years later...

Doug, if you are out there, thanks for all your help with my Capri, and teaching me some of the foundation of my mechanic skills! Would love to say hi and hear from you...

Steve Shepp at Classic Interior Restorations (Ballard) does phenomenal work, has a great reputation, and is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Unfortunately, he hasn't been doing well healthwise and he may not be running the shop anymore, so I cannot give a full-on endorsement. I'd give them a call to find out who's running the show now, and ask a few of the better local paint shops who they'd recommend.

Some background on my 1970 914: It came from California without good rubber seals anywhere, and without a rain tray over the engine compartment.

Monday morning I dropped my car at Chris's German, parked it outside his shop since it was a sunny day, discussed some stuff with Chris, and left the key with him. I expressed my anxiety about leaving the car outside, but he assured me the cars come in at night.

I think that shop is pretty busy, since I didn't hear anything back. My 914Rubber door handle rebuild kit arrived in the mail today, so this (Wednesday) evening I drove back there in the Miata to give it to them.

As you know, it didn't stay sunny this week. When I arrived, I was surprised and dismayed to see my car parked outside, soaking wet, in the same spot I'd left it. As far as I could tell, no work had commenced. I was tempted to just leave the Miata there and drive the 914 home, where it would at least be dry. (Also note the green 914 I'd seen before was also outside, but the Tangerine 6 was inside.)

I asked the service manager about this, and he said they'd just temporarily moved it outside so they could push a race car in. He wasn't sure when they'd actually be able to start the work on the car, so I went in to talk to Chris, who was working on a 944 with a technician. (I cannot overemphasize how nice most of the cars there were, including a 356 in apparently great condition.) Chris indicated that they *would* be able to start work on it.

If it were any other shop I think I would have just taken my 914 home, but Chris's German Auto comes highly recommended... and so many beautiful car owners clearly think it's a good shop ... so I didn't.

I'm having flashbacks of being a kid in the 1980s and not being able to get Porsche mechanics to take my 914 as seriously as their other cars. And a part of me is thinking maybe I should put off this whole thing until my kids grow up and I've got time to learn to do all this work myself.

Tried reaching Steve Shepp when I got back. Phone number went to Rich's Auto Upholstery -- the same guy who did our custom motorcycle seat 10 years ago (yes, he is hopefully the only other expert at my wife's butt). The motorcycle seat was great, but isn't that different than restoring a 1970 Porsche interior?

my recommendation would be to settle in. Servicing an air-cooled car is not like normal repair work. Well, technically it is, but its enough of a specialty that the shops that do it well will generally have a backlog. You can't expect that cars sit inside at all times, though you should expect them to be rolled in over nite.

Personally, I'm surprised that Chris would take on work for a 4 without you being an existing customer, but good on you if he will.

I think its important to have a good and trusting relationship with your shop. Up to you if you feel you have that or not. If you're in this for the long haul and not doing all the work yourself, you're going to be there enough that you should like the experience and feel good that you're shoveling your $$$ there.

I've been going to Chris's long enough that I've developed a quasi-personal relationship, so I don't want to sound like I'm blindly defending the place.

1) I can't speak to your car being outside in the rain, but I'm very sure that *none* of the cars are left unsupervised outside overnight.

2) Chris does get pretty busy and work that's outside the standard tune-up or repair items can be harder to accurately predict, time-wise. I too have been annoyed a few times when it took them longer to complete (or start) the work than I was told it would.

3) I don't think your 914 is being discriminated against. Last time I was in there they pointed out the number of 914s and said something like: "We hardly ever see a 914 anymore and all of a sudden we have a bunch to work on." They seemed genuinely stoked about it.

Perhaps moot if Steve has retired, but perhaps this will reassure you:

From Ferrari Chat https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/interior-restoration-in-seattle-area.468239/

"Also, I am having the interior on my other Dino, a 246gt, completely redone - this time by another shop that is much closer to where other mechanical work is being done on my 246gt - Steve Shepp at Classic Interior Restorations. Steve has done full interior restorations on several Pebble Beach Concours cars, and 6 Dinos, now 7 Dinos, along with list of other collectible and important cars that stretches off into the horizon."

This morning I spoke to Rich, who confirmed Steve in his late 70s now is no longer healthy enough to do the work. Even though I never met Steve, I'm sad about this. Evidently he did the original Batmobile and other top notch original work.

"Rich's Custom Upholstery," the motorcycle seat shop on Aurora is no longer Rich. I surmise that he may have sold it around the time he merged with Steve's business and took over Steve's unfinished projects. Evidently they've known each other and worked together a long time. Rich has a new shop in Kingston he intends to focus on automobile interiors in the winter and motorcycle seats in the summer. He's done classic Porsches already (912 in progress now). He suggested rebuilding something like the custom center console my car had, if the cables were actually working properly before (which I don't know since I never had a heater). I have reasonable confidence in Rich because we'd used him for our motorcycle seat way back when.

No website for the new business yet.

When I first got my 914 over 10 years ago, I brought it to a couple of different high-end specialty car shops, including a place known for working on classic german cars. My experiences were either neutral or bad. Most of them bad (which = costly). That included the treatment both me and my car received. From that point on I started toing all of the work myself, despite not having any experience working on cars, save for changing a tire and doing oil changes.

Unless you've got a ton of cash that can move you to the front of the line at the shop, get the Haynes manual, use the wealth of knowledge that's on this site, and the tech articles on Pelican. I think that just about every repair you'll ever need to do is documented in detail somewhere on this site. Also, there won't be anyone that will put as much care into the work on your car than you.
For most things, you also save a bunch of $ doing the work yourself.

That's what I've always wanted to do... in fact dropping a 914 motor is on my bucket list.

Here's my challenge: I've got a 6yo and 8yo daughter we're partially homeschooling, and every parent I've met tells me they wish they'd spent more time with their kids when they were this age. Also living in a condo where it's hard to do a lot of work in the garage.

My previous experiences with mechanics in the 1980s would have been OK if they were just expensive. It was the not doing good work part that bothered me.

I hear you. I have a 9 year old and did most of the work on my car in fits and spurts over long periods of time. Or in the middle of the night. smile.gif

The car will be there for you when you have time. The kids will only be kids once. If you want something you can drive without having to ever work on it, a 914 isn't the best choice in cars unless you have deep pockets.
With the little time I have to work on my car when something goes awry, I try to enjoy that experience, too and not feel like I have to get it done right away. Too much stress.

Let me know when you get around to that engine drop. Happy to help if I can!

Posted by: rhodyguy Feb 15 2018, 04:44 PM

Dropping the engine is not that big of a deal. If you post a thread asking for some extra hands I'm sure you'll get offers. Pick a Saturday or Sunday and see what shakes out. Weekday traffic is impossible. Is the trans going east after the drop?

You should be putting your seals and the like in your self. Swing by a riteaid and pick up a bottle of glycerin. Makes rubber bits easier to install and cleans up with water

Posted by: 98101 Feb 16 2018, 06:52 PM

Wow! Thanks for the offer to help with the tranny replacement.

10 years ago some of us from a motorcycle forum got together to work on my bike at one of their houses, since living downtown I don't have any tools or facilities. There was so little I could contribute that they wound up doing nearly all the work. We didn't work on their bikes at all. I think my only contribution was the beer. I felt so guilty afterward I didn't ask them for any more help.

Doug Chase, a mechanic (and Fiero 2M6 owner!) in Duvall I met went I first got the Miata, has looked over my 914 and is willing to let me participate in the work (as Franklin did). He doesn't have 914 experience, but I'm thinking it's still better than me trying to do it all on my own, without a nice lift and huge set of tools. So I've asked Dr. Evil to ship the transmission to his Duvall shop. Still need to dispose of the one that's in the car now. (It works if you don't mind matching revs, which I guess good drivers are supposed to do anyway, along with double declutching.)

Off and on, the clutch has been slipping a bit. Previous owner replaced the clutch disk a year ago, but not the other parts. So it's been suggested I buy a full clutch kit. I see that Pelican has one for $1K (ouch!) if the flywheel option is selected. Dr. Evil (who has a real name, but let's call him Dr. Evil) thinks he might already have a full clutch kit.

Ordered a rear main seal from gowesty, per advice on this forum.

Oh, I noticed the engine to car air seal rubber is dried up, like most of the rubber on my car. I guess that's easy to replace when the engine is out. And then I think maybe I should just order the full rubber kit from 914Rubber while I have the chance?

Here's how the "while you're in there" syndrome goes.

Just a thought: Check out the clutch cable before diving into the tranny. They get worn and "stretchy" causing the clutch to not completely disengage, which leads to shifting problems, etc. Especially inspect for broken and frayed strands at the rear pulley which is partially exposed to the elements. I had one fail on me at a very inopportune time. I managed to limp it home 75 miles in third gear without stopping or shifting. Quite the adventure having to blow at least one red light and several stop signs to do that. One directly in front of a police station.

Clutch cable probably wouldn't explain your slipping clutch, however.

Still need to dispose of the one that's in the car now. (It works if you don't mind matching revs, which I guess good drivers are supposed to do anyway, along with double declutching.)


Just a thought: Check out the clutch cable before diving into the tranny. They get worn and "stretchy" causing the clutch to not completely disengage, which leads to shifting problems, etc. Especially inspect for broken and frayed strands at the rear pulley which is partially exposed to the elements.

For better or worse, two mechanics have concluded that the clutch is properly adjusted. Third gear goes in like a charm, but 4th and 5th in particular are like threading a needle in high winds after drinking three martinis ... unless the engine speed is right.

Previous owner seems to have been confused about a lot of things. Inop brake lights (fixed now), reverse lights, license plate light, trunk light, seat pad light ... and the horn is a button attached to the dash. The carbs had both vacuum ports wide open, among other problems. 2366 engine delivers less than 2366 power because he chose the wrong camshaft and exhaust. I'm afraid to roll down the passenger side window because I think it will fall into the door and break. I knew I'd be spending some money on this when I bought it for a relatively low price. Body is pretty straight and I only know of one other 914 with the same Australian wheels. Front mounted oil cooler!

You live in downtown proper?

Engine pull Sunday March 11; pizza for all.

My 914 has been idle for too long and it's time to do something about it. Primary goal is to get the engine on the ground for a tranny rebuild and replacement of the rear main seal. Clutch replacement is a real possibility also. First step is to pull the engine/tranny so I can determine what's needed. I have a lift in the shop so that part should be pretty easy. After we've got my car out of the way, anyone who wants a look under their car or needs a quick fix, we can put it up on the rack.

Let me know who's interested and we can flesh out the details. Looking forward to some garage time with 914 guys. It's been awhile.

Going to try Marc. Get the car on the lift and the rear tires removed before hand. You going to rebush the linkage 'while you're in there'? Do you have a spline tool for the cv bolts? Drain the gear lube before the drop. I have the correct hex socket for the plugs. Want me to mail it to you so you have it on hand? Get a can of brake cleaner.

If anyone wants another project in their garage, I'll have a used sideshift transmission available eventually ... maybe sometime this year. A Dr. Evil rebuild is on a westbound truck as we speak. But then it will just sit for a long time because I'm waiting on Tangerine Racing's shift linkage, and Foley says he's backed up for weeks.

No word on how my car is doing at Chris's German Auto.

I've sent photos of my wrecked center console to Rich's shop in Kingston and he's confident he can redo it (which means I wouldn't have to redo the whole dashboard to move the controls to their stock location). I'm not sure the sequence I should follow. If I drove the car right now, the heater controls would be bouncing all around, which can't be good for the cables and stuff. There may be some way to zip tie them to something temporarily.

OK, let's change things up a little. First, I think moving the starting time up a little is a good idea - let's make it 10:00. Second, I'm debating whether I should just pull the tranny, since the only work on the engine is to replace the rear seal and check the flywheel.

I'll start a separate thread and post details there.

I got my car back from Chris’s German Auto without any repairs done, as they seem to be extremely busy. I was hoping they’d at least replace the door lock cores with the replacements I supplied, but not even that happened. If any shade tree mechanics would be willing to take this on Saturday late afternoon (or supervise me to make sure I don’t screw it up) I’d be happy to pay whatever Chris’s shop rate would have been in cash. Suggesting Saturday so as not to conflict with the tranny party Sunday.

Understandable about the family event. The tranny being removed is actually quite simple and doesn't take many hands. So any extra could help with your locks.

914werke/Rich got the locks working well enough to secure the car (as much as a 914 can be secured). Also found the first clues of possible extensive rust that had eluded the eyes of those not familiar with 914s.

Still hoping to appear tomorrow. It will be later so I can let my wife sleep in while I’m taking care of our little girls.

I've been assuming I need to do something about my oil leaks (and even bought a rear main seal from GoWesty) because the bottom of the car is wet and you can smell it cooking on the exhaust. But then I realized I've got 10W-30 oil in the crankcase because the previous owner in California chose this for engine break in. Searching the archives here seems to suggest a straight weight oil might be better for the Type 4. So maybe it's leaking so much just because it's such thin oil?

I'm curious what oil other people in my region are using, since the advice here might be different from SoCal. So far I don't seem to get oil temps above 80C (176F).

Incidentally, I saw TWO other 914 owners on my way to the upholstery shop in Kingston today. One was a green or yellow car that zipped by in my peripheral vision somewhere around Edmonds. Another was a younger guy named Eric who noticed my none-more-black car parked near a playground I took my daughter to next to the Kingston Community Center.

Looks like the push rod tube seals. Very common. When you replace them ask for the better quality Viton seals which should buy you a little time before you have to replace them again.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's one source of the leaks. I'm wondering whether it's actually kind of expected given the thin break-in oil I've got, which is why I'm asking what other people in this region are running.

Posted by: scallyk9 Mar 22 2018, 12:25 PM

I'm running Valvoline VR-1 Racing 20w-50w in my '74 CanAm LE with a stock FI 2.0 motor. It's around the highest zinc content oil commonly found at an auto parts store.

The other '74 914 with an '87 3.2L Carrera motor gets by on Swepco 306, also 20w-50w.

We live in a mild climate so we don't get the temperature extremes some areas have. Both cars started easily in our last freezing.

Posted by: plays with cars Mar 23 2018, 09:56 PM

Unfortunately I don't think that much oil is from using a thinner viscosity. I agree with Mr. Olympic's assessment: you need to replace those push rod tube seals ASAP. Its a shame that a fresh build motor is leaking already, but the good news is that you can replace them before you end up with years of grime under the car. What's there should clean up pretty easily.

Thanks everyone for the advice.

The clutch is slipping intermittently, possibly due to contamination. So, yeah, I'd like to get the leaking down to whatever the normal amount is before risking ruining another clutch.

Today the car is at the Kingston upholstery shop for a new center deposit box / console and stuff, then planning to visit Rich/914werke in a couple days to pull the rocker panels and see whether the rust is as bad as everyone's predicting.

Posted by: PanelBilly Apr 12 2018, 10:34 AM

Installing heat exchangers has turned out to be a bigger job than I had imagined. First off removing the old headers was a pain. One of the nuts is in a spot that required two different wrenches to turn. Tiny turn with one wrench, then switch to the other one for another tiny turn and repeat. I was glad to finely get it off.

When I did my trial fit of the HEs I found out that the oil lines that cleared the headers didn’t clear the larger heater boxes. Now I’m working on engineering new lines. Fortunately I found a shop in Kent where I can get custom lines made.

Posted by: PanelBilly Apr 14 2018, 09:09 AM

Got the barrel nuts in the mail last night. Now I need to buy an Allen wrench long enough to reach thru the heat exchangers. Crawling under that car is getting harder every year. Wish I had room for a real lift.

I'm enjoying my new car, but the 914 crowd is more fun.

hey guys - i received this for the 1st alfa club day of the year at pacific raceways - i'll be there with my 914 - a bunch of old porsche's showed up last time - it would be great to see another 914 out there!

Hello fellow Alfisti and sport driving enthusiasts, I hope this message finds you well and that your 2018 is off to a great start.

The NW Alfa Romeo Club would like to announce its first track event of the year at Pacific Raceways, which is the ever-popular Twilight Lapping and HPDE. This driving event will take advantage of the later sunset so we can work almost a full day at the office and still enjoy several hours of sport driving fun from 5pm - 9pm at the track. This track event is open to all drivers regardless of club affiliation or preferred vehicle type, although we certainly encourage joining the NWARC for all the other benefits that members enjoy. For all non-members, the event registration includes a 1-day event membership ($10 value) which is non-transferrable beyond this one-day use.

All drivers must be at least 16 years old and in possession of a valid drivers license. Because this event does not include a separate car control clinic all drivers should have some experience on Pacific Raceways or have at least attended an NWARC driving clinic or one from another recognized regional club. There will be three driver groups based on skill/experience: First-timer ©, Intermediate (B), and Advanced (A). The C group will have an opportunity for a "lead-follow" lap and in-car instruction if needed.

Registration is now open: msreg.com/twilight2018

Date: Wednesday, May 30
Time: 4pm - 9pm (on track at 5pm)
Place: Pacific Raceways in Kent


Please do not hesitate to email or call if you have any questions. Thanks!

Here's a beautiful 1.7 we saw last weekend at Golden Gardens. I noticed it had the same deposit box I had done for my 1970 instead of the gauge console you see in the later ones. (So far my deposit box has been handy, BTW.) This is my favorite color, and I hope to have one some day.

A young couple walked by and also ogled the car. So funny that the 914 was considered an ugly car once upon a time.

In a hurry to get the kids home, so didn't hang around to find the owner. Someone here?

Would have loved to help but have to get the rental ready after the previous tenants moved out.

Here's a beautiful 1.7 we saw last weekend at Golden Gardens. I noticed it had the same deposit box I had done for my 1970 instead of the gauge console you see in the later ones. (So far my deposit box has been handy, BTW.) This is my favorite color, and I hope to have one some day.

A young couple walked by and also ogled the car. So funny that the 914 was considered an ugly car once upon a time.

In a hurry to get the kids home, so didn't hang around to find the owner. Someone here?

Billy, I could come down around lunch time on sat if you like. Let me know. Just PM me an address, and let me know if I should bring anything. I've got a Motiv "Power" bleeder if that would help.

Thanks Brad. The master cylinder is on and the brakes are bleed. Still need to do another round of bleeding, but that’s going to take long. Shifter rod is aligned and I managed to wash up the spilled brake fluid. Even washed up the garage floor. Next up is to put the gas peddle and carpeting back in place.

I had visions of doing this myself, yes, by myself and use a system like we used on aircraft. I have a small electric windshield washer pump to pump the fluid up to the reservoir, I just need a cap I can put a nipple on for a return line. If that doesn't work, then I'd assume you're getting air from the master cylinder.

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 May 29 2018, 03:36 PM

jack the rear end up high and tap on the proportioning valve as you bleed. Air likes to stick there. I'd offer to come down and do it for you but I have no time to do anything these days dry.gif

Spotted a green 914 on South Tacoma Way and 56th today after 4 pm.

Anybody here?

Posted by: JimN73 May 30 2018, 08:59 PM

Got rust? You might try Sabeti Restoration at 5645 S. Washington in Tacoma.

I had the undercoating on my car renewed a couple of months ago, there was some rust hiding under the old stuff.

I took it to the last shop that did a bit of rust repair for me - no more restoration work.

A couple of weeks ago I was killing time near 56th and S. Tacoma and went into Sabeti Motors showroom - quite a few restored older American cars, a Beetle (late 60s), an Alfa, and newer cars. Around the corner, I found Sabeti body shop, collision and restoration. So I went in. Turns out they do some restoration on the cars in the showroom.

They fixed my rust - very reasonable, realigned my rear trunk lid - a bit more than I expected, restored and repainted the rocker panels and removed all the bolts that hold the lower edge of the rocker to the body (heads had been cutoff) - OK price considering I had no idea what they were going to have to do. All in all, I'm happy with it.

A word of warning: They work at their own pace.

Upcoming restorations include an MGB with a rotary engine, an MGB with a V-6 and a Triumph Spitfire.

Sounds good. I work nights, so I'm driving around at odd times. And yea, we parked in the trees at the races. I should have paid extra and parked with the cool kids.

You should consider the next breakfast in Tacoma. We can meet someplace and pick up Jim on the way.

Griot’s was crowded because everyone went there instead of the Redmond Town Center show based on how so many of the members were treated at last year’s Porsche day. Seams that many of the models were not framed “worthy” enough to park on the Redmond roads. Griots welcomes everybody, not just the super cars. Not much parking around the Shop.

It still starts up. When it happen it sheared off two of the axle bolts on the transmission side and the other two I believe were completely loose since they didn’t shear. I was able to start it in neutral after I looked under the car right after I heard the loud bang

Posted by: jcambo7 Aug 2 2018, 08:05 PM

I think the fact that two of the axle bolts on the left axle were not tight at all, aided in it. The torque sheared the other two axle bolts and possibly threw the axle up into the starter with so much force it caused the case to crack around it. The right axle bolts were all the way tight.

Anyone have an LE spoiler in good shape collecting dust? In the market for one. Figured I'd ask you folks here before trying the classifieds.

Thanks. I will let you know if Todd's doesn't work out. I drive up to Everett a lot to visit my parents so its not too far for me.

Did you notice the starter teeth? Not sure that damage all occurred during the axle incident. Best check the ring gear, which I am sure you would when replacing the transmission.

Posted by: PanelBilly Aug 18 2018, 10:04 PM

I’m in Wilsonville tonight and planning on checking out the world of speed tomorrow at 10 when they open. Anyone want to join us for breakfast?

Posted by: jcambo7 Aug 19 2018, 11:57 AM

Just wanted to say thank you to the PNW guys that reached out and offered me a free starter and an empty trans case (914werke, Tbrown4x4 and AfricanHijinx). I ended up buying one of the rebuilt transmissions from xmotox and he gave me a great deal which I am very grateful for. Hopefully I can pay it forward to him, another PNW or 914world member in the future.

Now I am just waiting on new axle bolts, seals, and roll pin arriving Monday.

Is it feasible to put low or medium strength Loctite on the bolts? Or should I just stick with lock washers?

Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Aug 20 2018, 11:10 AM

Don't use loctite on these. The lock washers are fine. If you want you can get the pre drilled bolts for safety wire.

New schnor/bellville? Locking Washers

Just make sure everything is "CLEAN"
I know some don't use them but I always take this sort of opportunity to
restore/replace grease & use new CV seals

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 20 2018, 12:23 PM

The pattern in the bolt heads needs to be nice. I wish bolts were available that worked with T25 tips. They're plenty cheap.

Posted by: 914werke Aug 20 2018, 12:49 PM

Hey just throw'in this out there but it seems it's been a while since the PNW crew got together en-mass (Kevs breakfasts aside)
Jim mentioned a artist point run as we've done in past as memoriam for our friend Nord ~?
There is also a small classic car show that one of my HS friends has been hosting for the past couple of yrs & has bugged me to participate In Wedgewood.
Suggestions ...interest ?

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Aug 20 2018, 01:24 PM

I'm down as long as its on a weekend. Hopefully not too early as I prefer the scenic route to completely avoid downtown Seattle construction/traffic. Too many near hits going through there to subject the 914 to that abuse... ar15.gif

Looks like you and me, Kevin. Sorry you can't make it Billy.

Anybody else? Breakfast is always a good time. I know it's far for some of you, but I think worth the drive.

Sunday the 23rd, at 9:14 AM at the Homestead Restaurant in Tacoma. Everybody welcome, teener or not.

Posted by: PanelBilly Oct 21 2018, 04:48 PM

Let’s try the breakfast gig again for October. Kevin gave me the ok to move it a bit farther north and we’re hoping this will make it easier for some of you to join.

So we’ll meet up at the Golden Steer in Kent on Sunday the 28th around 9:14am. They offer a brunch or you can order off the menu. It’s at

23846 108th SE Kent

Big parking lot so you don’t need to worry about parking. If you can make it, chime in and I’ll give the owners a heads up on the size of the group. I’m hoping for a break in the rainy weather that’s predicted, but my car will be there either way.

Hope you can come

Posted by: Tbrown4x4 Mar 2 2019, 08:48 AM

3/30 or 3/31 is best for me. Out of town on the 23rd.

Someplace more central, like Auburn/Fed Way/Tukwila? I'm not familiar enough with the area to make a decent restaurant suggestion though.

Posted by: jsaum Mar 2 2019, 10:06 AM

I should be able to make 3/30 or 3/31. Renton or Tukwila is a good central location to meet up for me.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Mar 3 2019, 12:25 AM

30th or 31st is good for me too. I'm finally on day shift, so I can actually make early breakfasts/drives! I have no idea about breakfast places up in Tukwila/Renton. If it leans in the direction of lunch I would suggest Berliner Pub in downtown Renton. Parking kinda sucks, but the food and beer is pretty amazing.

Posted by: scallyk9 Mar 3 2019, 01:33 PM

March 30th or 31st is best for me. Looking forward to it.

I can make that. I don't think I'll have a 914 ready but can show up in the dog hauler.

There is not much parking in front of the Mitzel's but there will be more behind it although it is part of motel's property.

I drove my car to Redmond this morning and everything worked great. I shut it off while I got out to open the garage door and when I went to restart it the main fuse blew. There’s a fuse between the battery and the regular fuse box. Replaced the fuse and it immediately blew. Now we have company for dinner. Looks like I’ll be driving the ford to breakfast.

Great group of guys and cars. I picked up some fuses on the way home and studied my wiring diagram. The fuse in question powered the MSD box. I fiddled with the wires a little and then put in the new fuse. Car started right up and I took it for a drive. I got the MSD used and the wires are permantly connected. I guess I’m going to pick up a new one just to be safe.

Call Chris’s German auto and ask for the name of the shop that painted the blue 996 that is getting the motor installed. Color change, but absolutely flawless!

Been thinking a bit about trying to get this whole teener tuesday thing going again. Going South to North or vice versa seems to be extra difficult these days. If anyone is interested I'm going to try to make it a regular thing here in Tacoma initially, and maybe branching out from there if it takes off again.

One of my favorite spots here in Tacoma is https://www.peaksandpints.com/ in the Proctor district. Tap room with a great mix of ~28 rotating taps(not just IPA's) and good sandwiches on the menu as well. Thinking 6pm or so.

Thoughts? idea.gif

Not too bad. There is a lot behind the bar that is actually for the Safeway that is close.
Contrary to many Tacoma lots, this one has relatively shallow approach angles, too! I park there almost every time I go there and have yet to get any grief from Safeway.

That would be pretty cool to do Rich. Might be a weekend type thing. August might work well for me. My last two weekends this month are booked with tours/drives. Between the two of us, we have enough Djet parts to systematically locate the issue if its not wiring or some other anomaly.

Posted by: PanelBilly Jul 15 2019, 09:13 PM

Are we starting this tomorrow?

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jul 15 2019, 09:26 PM

If the weather holds up, I'll be there. Not expecting anyone to jump on this with a day's worth of planning. beer3.gif

Side note: They do have a few high octane(have seen up to 16ish%) beers on tap. Most everything is available in 10oz pours, which I prefer if I'll be driving soon after. They have the normal size pours as well. LARGE cooler with bottles/cans available, too.

Super nice of you Rich pray.gif and I’m definitely willing to humbly except help (in trade for food/drink and repeated verbal thanks throughout the day).
This coming weekend is out for me, but maybe the following Saturday the 27th? I will double check schedule and throw it out there if it works.

I’m really suspecting an MPS that needs adjusting at this point. The car ran ok with the old one before it stopped holding vacuum. The replacement I bought meets factory specs, but everything I read says that they need to be tuned to the specific engine. It’s never been cracked open before. Tempted to just buy a rebuild kit for my old MPS in hopes of repairing it without changing any of its settings to see if that solves the issues, but also hesitatant to drop more money into the car- especially since I was just laid off of work . :-P

For those of you who aren’t PCA members, you need to know about the Carillon Point show that the local club holds. It’s being held the Saturday before the 914 Turnout (9/8) and they are hoping the 914s will be represented. There’s limited spaces so early registration is important. Let me know if your interested and I’ll help with the registration process.

Posted by: scallyk9 Jul 20 2019, 03:09 PM

I've done the "PNWR All Porsche Grand Display" for the last three years now and it is well worth attending. Over 100 Porsches of all types and ages plus vendors, music, and other attractions at Carillon Point in Kirkland. I haven't heard anything about PNWR wanting more 914s yet but It would be very nice to see more 914s there on this our 50th anniversary year. Maybe someone could drive one of mine. Thanks for promoting this event, Billy.

I’ll serve beers and burgers to any person or persons that want to help me solve the issues with my car this Saturday.
I’m in Shoreline (~12 miles north of downtown Seattle).
I have a severe irrational aversion to asking for help, but I’m running out of things to try. If this Saturday doesn’t work for anyone and there aren’t any takers, I’ll throw another date out there in a few days.

Thanks in advance for the consideration!

I'd really like to lend a hand, but it'd have to be more towards the second weekend in August. Very slight chance I could swing by on the way back from Bellingham on the 4th also.

Yes, you can park elsewhere. That is just for space on the lot. I've heard that they lose track of who's registered and who's not. So if you arrive early you might be able to snag at least a close spot.

Sunday's no good for me. I'll have to pass.

On a side note, I need my 2056 rotating assembly balanced. I was going to take it to Parkland Performance Auto Machine, but I'm reading a lot of bad reviews. He did a good job on my son's 7MGE head, and I like what he had to say when I asked him about balancing my Type 4, but now I'm second guessing myself.

Any recommendations from the local guys? Anywhere from Tacoma to Seattle should work.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Aug 14 2019, 07:53 PM

Tim's Aircooled VW in Kent should be able to get you set up. PPAM changed hands a couple years ago. I wouldn't take anything foreign there anymore. Prices jumped, and customer service has suffered.

Posted by: Tbrown4x4 Aug 14 2019, 08:05 PM

Thanks. That's kind of what I'm reading.
John at Morris racing Engines in Gorst did my machine work, but he can't balance engines and said the VW is inherently balanced. While I agree to some extent, I have NEVER assembled any type of engine without balancing.
I'll call Tim's when I get home tomorrow.

- this year, i see there are no less than 4 914's for sale at the auction - check the auction list - http://www.luckyoldcar.com/2019-fall-classic/

- there is a ton of real cool car stuff, old timey stuff to check out, and there's food, drinks, etc - i'll be there in my latest project - not a 914 or porsche though

- hope to see you there! brad k

Now that I have this monster apart, it's time to try and figure where to get some local work done on this side of the water.
Brakes - I'll need to have the calipers redone, teener in the rear and 78 911 SC stuff up front with wheel bearings for and aft.
Trailing arm advice? I'll have a pair for sale depending on which I use. Installed now are the stock units, years ago I purchased a pair of boxed units primed and ready. Not sure I need them since I don't track the car. Opinions?
Clutch - the conversion supposedly used a stock flywheel machined to fit the chevy crank - it's a 200mm diameter with a heavy duty pressure plate. Kennedy engineering that supplied the unit doesn't make them anymore. What I have is still good, but I'd like to know I can get parts.
Does the little place in Gorst do wheel bearings, cv's and brakes?

Bruce

Posted by: Tbrown4x4 Sep 16 2019, 10:51 AM

Hi Bruce. I'm not sure if John (Morris Racing Engines) would do the brakes and such, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I can do the brakes, wheel bearings etc, depending on what finish you want on the calipers. You can send the bare calipers to PMB, and he'll plate them for $80 each, I believe. I've been using caliper paint with success over 2000 degree primer.
I would probably use the reinforced trailing arms because of the extra weight and power, regardless of any future abuse. Plus, you already have them.
Is the flywheel stock 6 or stock 4? Might have to look for part numbers or compare with other parts. Have you called Kennedy to see if they can help?

Oh, and I have a pair of front wheel seals for a 6 that may match what you have. I ordered by mistake, and you can have them free.

Thanks Tom, may take you up on some of this . . . not sure why I've decided to open up this project now . . . I failed retirement planning, so after 14 years of being my own boss I'm going back to work.

Julie and I are planning to be there at 5:00, but if you wanted to start drinking sooner, don't wait for us.

Anyone interested in attending the NW Toy Run on Sunday Dec !st? This year the goal is 4,500 cars. Your only cost is a $5.00 toy or the cash. Starts at 11:00 at Pacific Raceways. Maybe we could grab breakfast that morning and go as a group.

Why not just buy a new set?

Mostly budget reasons, I’m doing a first time air cooled type 4 build and plan on doing a top end on the 1.8 that’s currently in the car. I have a new set for that build a 1911. I also have another short block built up with a webcam 86 for another 1911. I have a set of dellorto 36’s that need going through that I’ll use. I’ve built other engines in the past this is my first try at air cooled engines. Eventually I want to build a 2056 and run an L jet.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Dec 1 2019, 12:13 PM

Sounds fun! I am also starting to look at going through some engine work as I think I just lost a lobe on my cam a couple weeks ago. Luckily it held together through the summer for all the local tours and events.

Posted by: piscean914 Feb 10 2020, 11:28 AM

hey guys - i received this from LeMay - here you go - this vote is today 2/10/20!!!

Classic car tabs increase


The Department of Licensing is introducing House Bill 2373 (HB2373) in the House Transportation Committee. This bill will require you to register (pay tabs) on your collector cars every five years rather than only once per lifetime of current owner. This bill will significantly increase the cost of your collector cars tabs, this bill will pass without you voicing your objection to this increase. The vote takes place on Monday, February 10th and they need to hear from you ASAP. Please contact as many of the committee members and let them know to vote NO on HB2373. Here is a link to the committee directory and a link to the proposed change in the bill.

Please be brief, direct, and polite when leaving a message. You are free to use your own words or try a variation of the following script:

Hello my name is [Name], I'm contacting you to request that you vote NO on House Bill 2373 that require classic cars to be registered every five years, rather than only once per lifetime of current owner. Classic cars are rarely driven and this is an unfair burden to those of us that only take the cars out for a drive a few times a year. Thank you.

Posted by: 914werke Feb 10 2020, 04:46 PM

as did I:
Hello I'm contacting you after learning of the existence of House Bill 2373.
I am significantly alarmed & concerned after reading the bill.
First it provides no causation for the bills existence, what problem is it trying to solve?
From the notes in the bill it seems there is still unknown impact from this legislation due to its very narrow audience?
As a business that caters to this audience and as an owner of several of such vehicles to be impacted, I do not see the reason to waste legislative focus on this bill and would request that you oppose any committee furtherance or vote NO on House Bill 2373. Classic cars (those defined as being over 30 yrs old!) are rarity on the roads due to their value & are infrequently driven. This is an unfair burden to those of us enjoy this hobby & moreover those of us small business that support this collector segment.
Thank you.

Posted by: rjames Feb 10 2020, 11:17 PM

I emailed my reps as well.

Related note- I wish they’d allow vanity collectors plates.. Last I checked it wasn’t possible. Doing so would bring in additional revenue.

I’d also be ok with increasing the requisite age for collectors plates to be 35 or even 40 years old. Anytime I see a mid 80’s car will collectors plates it seems kind of silly. But I’m probably in the minority there.

Nah, there's not much to tell. We've been consumed by the House build which is looking to be in it's final year. After looking things over, there's enough for me to pick up a toy. It didn't take me long to start looking at 914's. I really wanted a converted six so I wouldn't be afraid to put miles on it.

Can't wait to hear the flat six behind my head again. driving.gif

Here's a picture of the house. The living space is only 1,000SQFT, but it's just Michelle and I so plenty of room. The living space is a 2nd floor on the back side of the hangar.

We're still living in our little trailer while we continue to work on the living space. We're doing it all ourselves = slow, but saves huge bucks.

There's some discussion going on behind the curtain about a tour from the north for those attending WCR this year. So far, I only see myself and maybe Rich coming from Washington. Just wondering if anyone else is thinking of going. Personally, I was thinking it would be a great adventure, but Julie said she didn't want to spend 10 days in my car.

Not to take away from the SoCal gathering, but for those that can't attend, I will be doing another 914Turnout in September. The dates are 9/18-19. Still working on details, but I think I have a great speaker and an interesting tech session in the works.

I could be interested. Deb would have no part of that, however. Maybe a riding mechanic?

Also the Werks Reunion Monterey is August 14. About the same drive, but a one day event.

A local 914 summer event would be best held east of the Cascades. Quincy area is central and the secondary roads are pretty much wide open. Like Skate Creek Rd in Thurston county with even less traffic.

We moved to San Juan Island. It was supposed to be our retirement property, but we decided to just make the move early.

My daily driver is a 66' Bug.

914-6 is in CA and I'm super excited to pick it up! The next month will be painfully waiting to collect my new toy, but just don't have the time to do it any earlier.

and do you think you will leave a bread crumb trail of oil like the last time you got one in Ca? lol-2.gif poke.gif stirthepot.gif

15 years, wow that was a while ago. That was a fun road trip.

I don't have time to dig into a project so this 914-6 will remain for many years. Just too much else to do.

I'll drive the tires off it, but that's about it. driving.gif

Looking forward to getting together with the local 914 crowd again.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jul 17 2020, 06:33 PM

Might be in for a drive Sunday, but 914-less.

A heads up for those familiar with the fun curves near La Grande: they put a stop sign in and made a one lane section where there was a landslide this last winter, along with dropping the speed to 25mph for the whole stretch. It is still fun, but don't let the stop sneak up on you. Might want to let Jim know @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=6488 . I know he's still anticipating a PCA drive through there.

Is the route the road that sort of parallels I-5? On the east side of I-5. Al Blose and I did about 40 miles of it years ago. There was a lot of shifting and braking involved.

Posted by: Tbrown4x4 Aug 1 2020, 03:33 PM

Shifting? Check. Braking? Check. I was hoping there might be some turning.........

Not many intersections, so the braking was only necessary for the corners. My friend Jim in the Caymen knew the route better than I did and made my day by taking over the lead. Not an easy car to keep up with!
The trip back on the highway was nasty. I kept thinking about adding AC while we sat in traffic

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Aug 3 2020, 05:15 PM

When we came back from that tour, we took Headquarters to 504, then on up to 508 over to Morton to come back to HWY 7 by way of Elbe. Only 3 of us for the return trip. Much easier to leapfrog... driving.gif

Speaking of 7. The section that I warned about before in La Grande has been repaired and is back to two lanes. No stop sign. Still 25 mph limit. happy11.gif

Looks like you all had a blast!

Posted by: PanelBilly Aug 6 2020, 06:04 PM

Its time to plan another outing, but I've changed the activity from a tour to a meet. Next Saturday at 5:00, lets meet at Piketon's in Kent. Its got a huge empty parking lot next to it and there's great food either take out and stand around your car or there's an outside patio. It's Mexican food, but they have fantastic grilled ribs and chicken. Since its in the parking lot, you don't even need to buy something. Address is 19611 84th Ave S. You'll know you're close when you smell the wood fired BBQ grills.

Nice. My wife has a 2000 TJ I'll be fixing up for her at some point. I was all about early Broncos. I had the only non-Jeep in the 4WD club.

Just got out from under the 914. Accidentally caught the shift rod with the floor jack and it got stuck in 1st gear. No neutral, and if I tried to shift it into first or reverse, it was locked up. I had to pull the shift console out and move the selector forks back in line. Now I wait for a seal, o-ring and bronze bushing from Rich.

People coming from south of Tacoma or coming over the bridge need to be aware of I-5 closures thru Tacoma in both directions this coming weekend. Plan accordingly. At best plan on congestion. It sucks 80% of the time even on 'good' days. It might impact your plans. 512 and Pacific Highway E will be packed full both directions during the closures.

Thanks for the warning. A look at the WSDOT website says that both lanes of I-5 will be closed from 11 PM to 8 AM on both Friday and Saturday nights for the installation of 220' 10 "giant" girders for an overpass (among the largest built to date, it says). Should be quite an undertaking. Now if they would just straighten all the curves they added to get through Tacoma!

Nice meeting you last evening. I see you have a Westy. I wish I still had my older one. My wife and I moved from PA to WA in it 44 years ago and although the distributor would no longer advance from Cody, Wyoming, it still got us to Seattle at a max speed of about 42 MPH. Fond memories of that Westy.

Posted by: CHIZ 914 Sep 12 2020, 10:52 AM

After checking the Air Quality out today is really bad and should call this off for today! It's just not good to be outside right now. Way to much smoke

Hope to try this again soon in the next week or two

Wow! Just been checking around for a equipped shop to do an alignment & corner balance.
STICKER SHOCK! I dont recall spending more than $500 when doing mine...
Times have changed.
Anyone have a recommendation here in the PNW?

Posted by: Rav914 Oct 8 2020, 04:51 PM

Virg's Brake and Suspension in Mt. Vernon. Last time they did an alignment to my car (another make and model) it was reasonable. Around $100 or so. Haven't asked for a corner balance before.

Posted by: sdthomas Oct 9 2020, 01:18 PM

Cantrell Motorsports did mine several years ago. Around $200.

We use Tru-Line, four corner balance and alignment around $650. Rich did you call them?

Tru-line were good to work with but it took them two tries to get it right.

Corner balance does make a difference if you drive them hard. Otherwise? You won't notice it. I can tell the difference when autocrossing and how and which corner starts to lock first under hard braking.

Wish I had seen this. Since putting street tires on the car, I discovered how darn nice it is to drive. Even with stiff suspension and race seats, its still a great driving car. With the Hoosiers on it you could feel when you drove over a dime, but the street tires are more forgiving.

Does anyone know where to find performance tires for 15" wheels? Who even makes them anymore? I'm running 15x6 up front and 15x7 rears with 215/60 all the way around. May go to 205s up front.

I'm running the 5 bolt pattern and would upgrade to 16 or 17" wheels, but cost is a big factor.

Ideas?

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Feb 4 2021, 06:30 PM

Performance tire selection for 15" wheels is why I'm going up to 16" once my bushings are replaced.... There's a set of 16x6 Fuchs in the classifieds with new tires for $2500. Seller might be open to offers.

Are you looking for a street performance tire or a "race only" tire? I'm just starting to look for race tires for 15*8 and 15*7. Tire Rack is showing a few, mostly Toyo. I'm running 205 50 front and 225 50 rear. They are showing the Yoko Advan street performance in that size as well. Have you called Roger Kraus? I'm going to check with them next.

Posted by: Bruce Hinds Feb 5 2021, 10:04 AM

I don't need a cold weather tire, so Street performance and good in the rain. Who's Roger Kraus?

Not yet, Cafe is though. Open window indoor seating and a few tents outside with space heaters. Not bad.

Our place is on Cessna, can taxi right up to the hangar door and park. PM me for my cell.

Big race/performance tire supplier in CA. I've only bought race tires from them but I think they carry street tires as well. Good guys to talk to about what would work for your application and can find unusual sizes, etc.

Posted by: 98101 Feb 9 2021, 04:08 AM

Do you have a favorite oil for the Seattle area? Back in the day I ran 10W-40 in my 914, but that was in Arizona.

My 914 here takes a while to heat up, maybe because of the front oil cooler a previous owner in SoCal installed.

Posted by: 914werke Feb 9 2021, 01:21 PM

Our ambient temps here in the PNW never get too extreme.
I actually run PennGrade (the old Brad Penn) 10/40 in mine.
I dont recall offhand your motor specifics but wasn't it a 2366 build?

Yes, thanks for remembering. It’s a 2366 with what I’m told was a poor choice of camshaft causing it to fall short of its potential performance.

In daily driving the oil takes a long time to reach operating temperature, so 10W-40 might be a good idea. OTOH, would 20-50 or straight 30 leak less when the car is parked?

Posted by: Bruce Hinds Feb 15 2021, 08:12 PM

There's probably something in the forum somewhere, but searching is tough - axle nut caps - how the heck do you get those out? I'm doing front wheel bearings, I've got '78SC front struts in the teener. I got one off using a piece of exhaust pipe. Not so lucky on the other side.

Suggestions?

By the way: I'd like to thank Todd for offering to help with my brakes, but I decided to take them to John at Gold Line. He did a really nice job. Can't wait to see how they work. Hell, can't wait to get this baby back on the road.

Posted by: Bruce Hinds Feb 19 2021, 07:08 PM

Poject is progressing . . . new breaks and bearings are in. Engine's back from the shop, new CVs, clutch and getting excited now.

Bearings - while I was wandering around the net watching "how to" stuff one of the vids mentioned the quality of bearings. FAG had always been the German name to go to but one of the videos mentions that China has copied a lot of stuff. He said he only had a FAG bearing(rear) last him a year. Thought it may have been made in the C country. I put a FAG in the front and noticed it was made in France.

So came time for a rear - Thanks again Todd - Since I'm anxious, I checked NAPA and they had one so I didn't have to wait for an order! Told me it was FAG. It was not, it was Meyle which is also German and we pulled it out of the box and it was marked Germany. So, Todd was here this morning "saving my bacon" and we got the old out and the new in. When we looked at the box a sticker on it with the part number said made in China! WTF - double checked the bearing and sure enough it did say Germany.

I hope is a good one since NAPA charged 100 bucks. Then last night I'd been looking for more parts 914 rubber and notice they have FAG rear bearings for just $38! Those say Slovakia!

After Todd left this morning I got the rest of John's new brakes in with new stainless flex lines.

Wish I could be patient.

The weather app on my phone says no rain on Saturday, so bring out your car and meet me for breakfast at Piketon's in Kent. They have a LARGE space, so there's plenty of room to keep your distance. The menu offers an interesting selection and the prices aren't too high. They open at 9:00 so I think we should meet then.

Ya hit nail on the head!
For years I traveled to Monterey for the Laguna Seca round of 500GP/MOTOGP races and have to admit a significant part of that experience is AURAL sensation of race machines screaming by a corner.
In later yrs they started the E-bike GP series ..... though the bikes weren't quite as fast ( but are getting faster EVERY year) the biggest nit was the lack of sound!!!
They were all but silent except the sound of tires clawing for traction & the whizzing of the chains on sprockets.
Not sure how you make up for that. sad.gif

Anyone local (near-ish Seattle) have a good working (0 280 100 043) 2.0 MPS they'd be willing to let me borrow for a week or so?
I've been having intermittent stalling and lean/rich conditions and I'd like to rule out the rebuilt MPS I'm using once and for all.

Not looking to start a troubleshooting thread here. I already have a long thread on the board somewhere that explains everything I've already tried over the last 2 years, which includes new fuel pump, injectors, CHT sensor, new 123distributor and coil, and new ignition and FI harnesses, among other things.

The issue is intermittent, which is why I'm hoping I can borrow a good known MPS for a week or so. Happy to travel to pick it up or pay for shipping, whichever is easier.
Figured I would post here to find one locally before asking the favor from the larger community.

Thanks,

Possibly. Waht year is your car? I have a spare -043 MPS meant to work with a 043/044 ECU used in 1974. 1973 model year 2 liters used an -037 MPS with a different ECU. I also have a spare -037 ECU, both removed from a mismatch by a prior owner on my 1974 LE.

My car is a '75 2.0, so a 2.0 MPS for '74-76 cars would work (part # 0 280 100 043).

I've got an 037 in a box. Label says its for 73-76 2.0. I don't know where I got it from or if it holds vacuum. You're welcome to try it out.

Thanks Billy, that's for a '73 which could work according to the pbanders site, but since it's in an unkown state, I'll pass. I appreciate you offering though.

Anyone local (near-ish Seattle) have a good working 2.0 MPS they'd be willing to let me borrow for a week or so?
I've been having intermittent stalling and lean/rich conditions and I'd like to rule out the rebuilt MPS I'm using once and for all.

Not looking to start a troubleshooting thread here. I already have a long thread on the board somewhere that explains everything I've already tried over the last 2 years, which includes new fuel pump, injectors, CHT sensor, new 123distributor and coil, and new ignition and FI harnesses, among other things.

The issue is intermittent, which is why I'm hoping I can borrow a good known MPS for a week or so. Happy to travel to pick it up or pay for shipping, whichever is easier.
Figured I would post here to find one locally before asking the favor from the larger community.

Thanks,

It looks like your 043 model do the trick provided it's known to be working. If you are in Port Orchard, any chance that you're comfortable mailing it? (I'm in Shoreline/North Seattle). I"m happy to pay mailing costs + whatever amount you feel is reasonable for the effort.

Anybody want to learn to weld. I have a Lincoln HD100 with tank and HF helmet that I used to do the bodywork on my car. Its the right size for thin metal, but that's about it. I know this isn't a classified forum, but I'd rather sell it to a local guy. $200? I also have a REALLY NICE stool left over from a commercial furniture job. Retail on this ting was about 350. Hows $25? I also picked up a doctors exam stool. One of the little roll arounds with a vinyl seat. It would be the right height for working close to the ground. Free for the asking. You need to come to Kent and pick it up. Help me clean house

The 14th annual King Street Bar & Oven Vintage & custom car show is happening in the Wedgewood neighborhood of Seattle.
This happens be to 1 of the 2 sites where earlier this year the city & The QFC grocery chain went to battle over wages & they closed this & one other store.
I mention because due to that closure there is now TWICE the capacity for cars & is expected to have double the attendance due to pent up demand & exceptional weather cheer.gif

I was thinking of doin hb it at Twin Peaks in Tukwila. They have an outside area with heaters and it’s got a room and it’s like being inside. They check for vaccinations so if that’s a problem for you speak up.

Lunch? Dinner? Just drinks and snacks? What works for you?

@sportlicherFaher -- Hey Jim!!! What car were you with? I was in the slate blue 911sc next to Billy's stand

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Feb 12 2022, 04:09 PM

Unfortunately, I was in a dealer loaner. Otherwise I would have been in my "hotrod" TDI Golf. Slowly chipping away at my engine rebuild. Hope to have the 914 on the road within the next month or so.

Was the SC yours, or just riding along?

Sweet! Yeah, the 1983 is mine.
We have a 1973 914 we've been working on and hope to have on the road soon too --- summer should be fun!

I came home and finished up the locks. Started the car and let the oil warm up. Got the windshield pulled and worked on bending the chrome trim to fit better. Need to get a hand putting the glass back in. I want to put it in straight this time.

Posted by: rhodyguy Feb 14 2022, 08:56 AM

Billy. For setting the windshield, look for something like Wood's Powr-grip suction tools at your local tool rental. The ones for curved surfaces. You and Julie could set the glass with a pair of them.

Hi Billy. I'd be happy to help you with that chore. I helped the body shop do the replacement on my LE. I have some of the chrome parts and clips if you need them.

Sounds like the hotel is pretty much booked up for WCR. Might be one room left in the main hotel, and a second hotel is getting lined up.

Starting to formulate ideas for heading south as a group down the coast, splitting the trip into two days. Leaving Wednesday to go down, and a similar deal coming back north leaving Sunday. Will probably start a separate planning thread when I get some stuff more solid. driving.gif

Would be great to get back to a semi-regular meet-up. Maybe move it around a bit north and south to get more of us out. Traffic has turned into a N/S nightmare compared to how it was when Troy kicked this thread off.

Saw a 914 at Griot's this morning. Turns out it's Rocky's old car from Gig Harbor that went to Hawaii and back. Sounds like it will be listed soon at Premium Motors in Tacoma. The owner(?) at the dealer just bought it a week ago. Very nice Nepal Orange '75 1.8 that I was too busy drooling over to bother taking pictures.


Also, Sunday the 11th is the PCA day at XXX Drive-in at 11am. I'll be on odd shifts at work and will miss it, but just wanted to throw out the reminder.

PCA Breakfast at the Anderson School House McMenamins location on the 16th at 9am if anyone is interested in that as well.

I love the color. I had an orange one, not nearly as nice, when I was young.

Posted by: Root_Werks May 15 2022, 05:17 PM

Driving our 914 more and more and really wanting to attend some of the local events. Pulled the seats to have them redone by a local guy. So the 914 is down for a few weeks. But soon! We'll be out there at some events!

The orange 914 looks amazing.

Posted by: 98101 May 15 2022, 05:17 PM

How do you guys feel about driving your 914s in the rain?

I usually drive a beat up Miata on days like today, since it's disposable and the heater/defogger work. To accommodate a motorcycle, I may have to decrement my car count by one, which would make the 914 my regular driver. (Or I'd have to give up the 914.)

Is anyone else doing this? I rarely see 914s on the road even on nice days.

I have a 73 1.7 that is rusted and paint good from 100 yards, but still uncomfortable driving in the rain because it is hard to see us on the road.

Posted by: 98101 May 20 2022, 01:03 AM

So it's looking like I won't have to sell the 914 (or the Miata) since I can squeeze the bike into the same parking space.

Try this with a Panamera!

Yup that my girl. Sold it to a lady that had one in her youth and she lived on Kauai. Shipped it there and then she ends up moving to Gig Harbor, of all places, a year later. Crazy world! I guess she passed away recently and her husband was not a car guy so he sold it to that dealer. Apparently James Young who is a member purchased it. Glad its in good hands. Miss her all the time.

Posted by: rhodyguy Jun 6 2022, 08:52 AM

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jun 6 2022, 11:12 AM

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=378 It was too clean to pass up! Mainly meant to be my wife's car, but it has definitely taken some pressure off the engine rebuild for my car. Kinda funny how my first was a '75 Nepal Orange 1.8(repainted to Signal Yellow) and now hers is, too. Love the orange so much more than the yellow!

Hopefully will have mine back together for WCR so we can bring both down! I'm still tempted to take the slow route down the coast instead of doing a convoy on the interstate.

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=1845 I'll keep in touch with you. Get a ton of comments on how great the car looks. A group of people are trying to resurrect a Gig Harbor cars and coffee meet. Would be cool to meet up and talk about some of the details on the car.

lots of rain driving in my 914 and all other of my collector cars (when running) - also, lots of rain days at area tracks, with many wet driver skills days prior

- it's very helpful to discover where your 914 loses traction in the wet under controlled circumstances, to hopefully prevent problems when driving in traffic in the rain

image below from alfa club day a few years back in deluge - the bmw's are much faster, but their drivers didn't like the rain!

thanks rich - is there another thread for the seattle area caravan? please let me know where info will be posted - thanks again for all of your help and support for these 914's!

i'm able to attend, at least thursday through saturday - my default route down, if solo, is I-5S->grants pass->199S->197N->101N->event, and my default route back, again if solo, will be 101N->38E->I5N - it's about 510 miles both ways, and probably 8 hrs at a quick pace, no traffic, not including stops - (much more time w slow RV's, accidents, potential fires, etc)

- a few weeks ago, i completed a 3200 miles trip for an event in my early 911 from WA->OR->CA->NV->UT->CO->UT->ID->OR->WA

- since 1991, i've routinely driven in OR, but first time since covid era - i was amazed at how fast OR folks were driving in OR, how few cops were around, and some OR drivers actually pulled over to let folks by

- at first, not comfortable much more than 7 over, due to past experiences in OR - by end of the trip, folks were routinely driving super fast (100+mph) in all of these states, except for many WA drivers in the fast lanes, again and again - local drivers looked like they would push them off the road

- my 846 mile leg back from salt lake city to seattle was 11 hrs, w/o stops, and most of that time was not in the passing lane - that's with 80 mph speed limits in UT and ID

- hopefully the drive down and back for this WCC won't be a slog - i've driven the highway 199 section several times, but pre covid, and i remember that to be a really nice run

thanks again

99 goes down the gorge for the Smith River. Incredible piece of road. Beware the blind corners. Large square rocks on the road and radar. It's way fun even at normal speeds. The motor home ahead of you will be going about 15mph on the way up the hill on the way home.

Posted by: piscean914 Jun 8 2022, 03:02 PM

right on kevin - i was in that area years back too close to a porsche in front of me and at speed - the guy in front avoided a large square rock in the rock - too late for me, and i cracked my steering rack in the early 911 - not a trip ender, but i keep back a bit since - and i don't swerve for objects unless it's a person or something that will kill me - i know an early 911 guy who just had a horrible accident (he was fine) due to a high speed swerve to avoid 20 lb wildlife on road, which led in a roll end over end - on these types of roads, i always say, "don't drive faster than you can see!"

Posted by: rhodyguy Jun 8 2022, 03:21 PM

That road has sections that are either sheer rock cliff on one side and a long drop to the river on the other. No barriers, reflective signs. Suggested speeds that are ingnored.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jun 9 2022, 08:45 AM

Starting to put together a tentative route south. Leaving on the 20th with an overnight stop in Lincoln city. Thinking Griot's in Tacoma(leaving 9am-ish)-Kalama Lodge(lunch)-Tillamook(snack stop at the creamery)-Lincoln City for day one. Lincoln City-Coos Bay(lunch)-Brookings for day two. Rest stops planned every 60-90 minutes or so except for the run to Kalama. Flexible on the rests, especially day two since there will likely be more sight seeing. Similar idea upon leaving Brookings on Sunday with the plan to be home in Tacoma Monday. Anyone interested in joining is welcome to. I know it is inevitable that we will get stuck at some point with RV/tourist traffic, but I think it beats the hell out of just humming down I-5 to a point further south for quicker jump out to the coast. driving.gif

thanks jim - i wish i had time to extend the trip, but i only have 7/21-23 - it's going to be a bit of a slog at times, no matter which way down and back - for me I5S only starts to get bearable south of eugene - hope to see a bunch of WA 914's at the event - also, i had the 914 at last sat's PCA/PNWR run - best one so far this year - hope to see you soon

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jun 9 2022, 11:16 AM

We would try to do it all in one day each direction, but my back would likely render me useless the rest of the trip after the drive down.

Glad to hear it was a good tour! I will be going on the second run of it on July 10th. Hopefully I can have the 2.0 driving again and use it as a mild shakedown before the trip to Oregon.

This is a Porsche only event at the facility just to the north of Griot's Garage, so it won't get filled in with non-Porsche cars like their caffeine and gasoline mornings. Blurb from the FB event page:

"Car Show in Tacoma!
Our meet last month at Black Raven was epic! Let’s do it again, at Griot Motors!
Philip, Kiri & team are opening their facility for a Porsche themed meet. You’ll get the chance to see their restoration facility & the private collection storage! They will also be providing lunch!
Group6ix will be doing t-shirts again!
We may have other surprises, stay tuned.
Location;
Griot Motors (just down the hill from the retail flagship location you’re familiar with).
10:00 - 2:00
Plenty of parking.
Weather should be perfect!
Bring the family. Bring the dog.
Bring your Porsche!
We’ll see you there!"

Finally got the '73 running again! Broke the cam in Wednesday, and hopefully putting some miles on it this weekend. Looking forward to enjoying some of the other things I've done with the car over the couple years it took to get it put back together.

Anybody going to the party in Bham next weekend?

I'm contemplating going, although I'm always shy about showing up to a full-on Porsche event in my driver quality 914. unsure.gif

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Aug 26 2022, 12:47 PM

Bring it! You'll probably have a small crowd interested in talking to you about it. Still more interesting than the run-of-the-mill base 911 or Boxster that shows up.

Signed up with MotorsportReg and the event looks like it only takes show entries. Don't really want to sit around for a full event, just pop in, walk, talk and move along.

I won't RSVP, but will plan on bringing the 914 over. I emailed Janet at RJ Porsche to see if that's okay.

I'm signed up. Not sure which 914 I'll bring yet but if it is the '74 3.2L conversion, Roger Jobs has an almost identical Light Ivory '74 3.2L conversion except for his five lug Fuchs have body-color painted petals.

Posted by: PanelBilly Aug 26 2022, 10:47 PM

I've working with them the last few weeks to get this organized. They plan to only have 200 people there and treat them very well. The whole RS is a program the dealers have been asked to do as part of the overall marketing plan I wouldn't just stop in without contacting Janet for permission.

Julie and I will be there with the 968

Spoke with Janet and Bill is correct. Space for attendees is for RSVP's only. That window closed so we'll miss out on this one.

All Porsche Grand Display in Kirkland is coming up this next weekend. They are still looking for a few more cars to enter. I'll be there in the '75. Grouping cars by color this year, so it will be interesting to see what other orange cars will be there.

Anybody else thinking of going on Sunday? Should be great weather for a nice end-of-season show.

Another one coming up the following weekend that some of you may be interested in. September 18th from 9am-2pm is the NW VW Club Fall Fling at the XXX Drive In. Might cruise my wife's Fastback to that and throw a FS sign in it.

I've got the Bumblebee registered for the APGD on Sunday. Maybe we could meet and caravan north? Since grouping will be by color, we'll have different staging times.

There go my chances at best 914! laugh.gif

I'm in for meeting to caravan north. I have no data on our respective staging times, so hard to say when we'd need to leave the Tacoma area to head north. It's early enough that Griot's will probably be locked up still. I'd say swing by my place, but the alley will put a fresh coat of dust on the BB, and the chip seal garbage on the street isn't very nice either. Any ideas for a meetup spot?

Haha! You are still very much in the running. I expect we'll be in "1980 and older" or some such class. As of this moment I'm still re-installing the interior after body shop work including carpet and hoping I make their it this time. I missed last year because my right rear taillamps were wonky and gave up trying to figure it out at 2 AM Sunday morning. The body shop had mis-wired the right front sidelight.

It looks like 102 Porsches were entered by the deadline last evening. We'll get our staging time assignments later today and we'll be at different times because Dennis is grouping cars by color. I'll message you after the times are emailed to us.

Not looking like a good weekend for weather. If we go it'll be in one of the VW's.

If tomorrow morning is dry I'll probably take the 914 over to Griot's to check out C&C. Race cars is the theme this month.

Sorry for the short notice, but the local club is doing a dinner night at The Ram in Puyallup tomorrow at 7pm. Think we'll be in the back room of the main dining area. Should be a clear night. Just crank the heat up!

Just moved to Whidbey Island, I’ll be in and out of the area the next couple months for work. Hoping to catch some events soon. Anybody local on the island/Anacortes? Catch me in my DD/beater ‘81 911. Worked well in Florida, but I think I’m going to need to pick up a better winter driver. Sand blasting the wheel wells with salt every day on my way to work has me grimacing and apologizing to the car most of the way.

Teener is at PMB for restoration so it’ll be awhile until I get it out here.

Welcome! I'm sure there's one or two locals up there. Been a minute since I've been up that way, though.

Also, we have one of the most active PCA regions in the country if that's your thing. @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=6488 happens to be the membership chair for PNWR if you have any questions there.

Welcome to Whidbey. I spent a lot of time there over the years when I lived in Seattle. You should be fine with the 911. I drove mine year around when I lived there. Snow and ice are pretty rare occurrences. Maybe a second set of wheels with winter tires.

Posted by: PanelBilly Feb 24 2023, 07:08 PM

My brother lives on the island and drives a newer tail dragged. He haunts this site and goes by EvilolderBrother. I understand there’s a coffee shop that most of the locals hang out at. He can fill you in on the details.

Welcome to paradise.
The local get together is the first Saturday of each month in Freeland. We meet from 9-11 at Crabby Coffee for coffee and BS. There are several guys that come down from Anacortes and lots of us with P cars. Very informal and great group of folks.
Look for me in my night blue 991 and I will buy you a cup.

I did that myself on more than one occasion. Dave cut the rear valence to match right there on the spot as well. I can remember quite a few visits of just hanging out and lending a hand if he was working on something outside the welding room.

There's a slight chance my plans may shift on Saturday. Will definitely head down for a bit if I'm able.

I'll be there probably in my 3.2L conversion. The Olympic Peninsula Region is organizing an early morning cruise from Gig Harbor to Griot's Garage. You are welcome to join us.

Then we'll head over to LeMay ACM for a presentation on the 917 and Porsche's history at LeMans which starts at 10:30 (I think) which will be a good chance to check out their Porsche at 75 years display.

Hi Teener Peeps --

Bit of a stretch ... .but I'm looking for a set of early phone dials or cookies for my 944.

I'm trying to get a second set to run a taller tire. Doing the NW Rally in the 944 which has been fun, but not fun with stock ride height.

Don't need anything perfect, but something that I can swap out.

Many thanks

Not going to be able to meet up, but I can give a shout out to a Fullerton guy. I grew up in Fullerton from '59-'76, near the corner of Raymond and Chapman. We had an orange grove in our backyard back then. Got my first 914 in Buena Park.

Porsche themed Caffeine and Gasoline at Griot's Garage in Tacoma this Saturday from 8-10am. Lot fills pretty quick with a wide variety of other makes, so early birds get the worm for parking. Coffee and donuts provided, and live limited edition T-shirt printing by Group6ix.

For those interested, there's also a smaller Tacoma Cars and Coffee at Titlow Park from 10-11am that can have a pretty interesting mix of cars as well. Usually more enthusiast-based than the typical Pcar crowd. Cars gather in the larger lot closer to the playground.

More events coming up. Cruise-in at LeMay in Tacoma on Thursday from 5-7:30. Thursday also happens to be the 75th anniversary of the first Porsche car to be approved in Germany if you're looking for a good excuse to get your cars out. That leads to events this Saturday. All three of the major dealerships in the Puget Sound area will have 75th anniversary celebrations. Porsche Tacoma & Porsche Bellingham will hold theirs from 11am-3pm, and Porsche Bellevue will have theirs in the evening from 5:30pm-8:30pm. Bellingham is anticipating a larger crowd and will start parking and setup at 8:30am. All three dealers are having some form of catering/food trucks.

I signed up for the GoodGuys show at the end of the month. I always enjoy walking around looking at the cars and now I'll have three days of it. Griot's is sponsoring a VW corral and I'll be there. Also Sunday the 23rd is the German car show in Renton as part of the Renton River Days..

Best of all is Cars & Coffee this Sunday at the Bellevue Porsche. They bring in great food trucks and everything is free!

I plan to drive my red car to RRC2023 from Madison and then drive to North Bend WA to leave the car on newly acquired property. Apparently in King county, I have to show worthiness to build a garage, so it may be in a tent for the winter. Then I can fly and drive, avoiding the long slog through the Dakotas and Montana. Not that they aren’t great scenery.
So: I will be a part time teener out there. I miss Ivar’s so much.

Posted by: rhodyguy Aug 10 2023, 07:22 PM

Welcome to WA! North Bend proper or in King County? Unless you’re going to sleep in the tent, I’d look around for indoor storage for at least the winter.

Good to see it going back to the original spot. Having it at The Shop was a little odd. I'll be missing it this year. Spending that weekend up in Canada.

Ferry's all booked out, I'll see if I can get the 914 off the rock for a day somehow. Be fun to look at a bunch of parts I don't need.

Just a couple of feet past NB. By the new bike trails. Challenge will apparently be to keep the mice and blackberries at bay. Plan on some sort of ritual to allow King county to grant building permission. I may sacrifice a Rochester carburetor or something. Not too sure. Bought the land, and have a contractor. Also, spent my first 30 years in the PNW.

Thanks for posting this. I’ll try and be there- prob around 9-10am.
I’ve scored some good parts there in the past. Always fun to see other 914s there.

should we plan a breakfast on the morning of the Walker sale?

Posted by: 98101 Aug 16 2023, 02:39 PM

I've just been advised I'm losing my Seattle parking space on September 4 so I will need to find a new home for my 1970 914. I don't know what the price should be... open to suggestions. The previous owner built the engine as a 2.4/4 but we're not sure he used the right camshaft, and there were some other problems you can read about in the linked download.

It does have a Dr. Evil transmission and a Tangerine Racing linkage.

Body and paint are fair/rough. It is a yellow car painted black. Rich of 914werke discovered someone had used spray filler in the wheel well under the battery box. We are unsure of the condition of the metal under that. We did find the trunk floor had rusted through at the taillights.

Here is a download link with all the unflattering pictures and other records from the time I acquired it in 2017. Note that some of the problems shown in the photos have been solved, and there are also problems not shown in the photos.
UPDATED 8/21//2023
This is a more reasonable download size with a few photos added:

But selfishly I suggest we gather after (thought I'd try to bring some parts)
Mike it'd be good to see you it's been a while. Sorry to hear you're
Loosing your space. If you can swing it bring the car tomorrow
It might help to get some exposure.

Unfortunately, I will be working Sunday.

9/14 is creeping up on us again. Anyone interested in meeting up somewhere around Tukwila/Kent/Renton next Thursday at 6 for dinner? Was thinking BJ's Restaurant or Berliner Pub, but open to other suggestions.

Posted by: rjames Sep 8 2023, 09:13 AM

The classic car show in Edmonds is also happening this Sunday. I think this is the 4th one I've brought my car to. My car is far from show worthy, but until another 914 shows up, I'll keep entering my car. biggrin.gif


Posted by: scallyk9 Sep 8 2023, 01:58 PM

Hope to see you there! Five 914s are entered and only one, formerly Alan Caldwell's pristine yellow '73 still has its original four cylinder motor in it.

Hey guys, I’m toying with the idea of staging a small, low key weekend gathering of 914s around Pt Townsend later this year. Thinking 10-15 cars for drives, parking lot talk, and bbq or something like it. There are some fun roads up here and we haven’t got together for quite awhile. Right now I’m looking for feedback of who might be interested. Very preliminary.

Posted by: jhynesrockmtn Jan 20 2024, 09:41 AM

Depending on the timing, there is a group of 914 owners in Spokane that could make it over. My daughter lives in Seattle so combining trips works out great.

I’m in if I can get my car off jacks stands in time. Replacing the front suspension, but it’s been too cold to work in the garage.

Posted by: KELTY360 Jan 20 2024, 07:33 PM

Sounds like there’s some interest, so I’ll continue to look at the possibilities. I’m thinking the weekend of 9/14/24 would be ideal. September weather is great up here and it’s after Labor Day so most of the tourists will be gone, leaving us some nice driving. It will also be just after the 10th anniversary of Nord’s passing so we could commemorate that too. I’ll start a separate thread when there’s more info.

Posted by: scallyk9 Jan 20 2024, 07:37 PM

The regional PCA magazine (Spiel) will be doing a special edition highlighting the 914. I’ve been asked to gather some folks who have interesting cars and stories. If you’re willing to be part of it let me know. They are especially looking for out of the box cars.

Posted by: 914werke Jan 25 2024, 12:13 PM

Out of the box? meaning OE or modded cars?

Posted by: PanelBilly Jan 25 2024, 01:16 PM

They have several OE cars so modified is what they are looking for. I already told them they needed to include Rich as his business is based on the 914. Free advertising for you

Saw a Bahia Red or Tangerine teener down in Georgetown around noon. Anyone know who? Looked like a pretty straight car with old WA plates(white and green) as collector plates.

Posted by: Root_Werks Mar 7 2024, 04:44 PM

Wasn't me, although I was in Seattle yesterday with the 914. Hauled my Bug transmission to Bainbridge to have some work done. First time this year the 914 has been off the island.
