and now....drum roll please. JEFF! He has been the driving force behind this conversion. The amount of passion he has for these cars, and the patience to deal with a low brow like myself, is amazing. He has a gift and I really appreciate all of his help on this. A few items to wrap up... gas linkage and electronics and down the road I go. Next is a 5 lug conversion and some new rims/tyres. Then flares and paint. Again. All of my Thanks Jeff! You are a 914 Guru.

Here here... Jeff is a very awsome guy... especially for what he has done for the NW teeners.
So Chris... You going to have that thing on the road in the next few days? 
Posted by: effutuo101 Dec 30 2007, 01:22 AM
Yep. Jeff has done a lot for the NW group. As far as drive? I don't know, we will see. the list of to do's gets shorter every day. Tomorrow I will shorten the list some more.
Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Dec 30 2007, 01:29 AM
Well, I am swapping transmissions in my Mercedes tomorrow, wife killed reverse

Posted by: Root_Werks Dec 31 2007, 08:33 AM
Sorry I didn't make it over this weekend at all dude. I really wanted to check out the car progress. Wound up dealing with work a little too much this weekend.
Can't wait to see you actually driving a 914 again! And a six at that! 
Posted by: effutuo101 Dec 31 2007, 10:31 AM
I understand the work thing. It has made me miss a lot. Not a problem! See you soon Dan!
Posted by: Blood red 914-6gt Dec 31 2007, 06:42 PM
Looking good Chris. I'm glad I was able to stop by and see it. It muched my air dam on that stupid speed bump but it didn't do any damage 
I would have been pissed at myself if it had. Get that thing streetable so we can go bomb around the city
Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 1 2008, 09:36 PM
One step forward... broke my throttle cable today. so, no progress there. Maybe later this week.
Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 4 2008, 06:47 PM
Throttle cable replaced and mounted. It looks like I have full travel. I putted the car around my complex. Now to find the little parts and finish this thing up. Maybe next week I will get it on the open road and break in the motor.
Next step. 5 lug conversion.
Posted by: effutuo101 Jul 23 2008, 10:22 AM
It's been a while since I updated this thread. Long story short, I blew up my motor and had to have it rebuild. Fired it up yesterday and Jeff did some dialing in on my carbs and timing. 5 lug conversion complete. I now have a very short list of to do's and should be able to get some serious miles the rest of this week.
Posted by: 6freak Jul 23 2008, 10:50 AM
sweet, keep it up!Jim
nice work fella`s
...Now pull the headers off and have them alumanized they`ll look great and last ten time longer....maybe we can have a big teener tuesday turnout before summers end

Can't wait to hear your car rumble Chris.
Posted by: Root_Werks Jul 23 2008, 04:28 PM
Weather should be getting nicer the rest of the week.
Posted by: effutuo101 Jul 23 2008, 05:14 PM
Yep, I am putting the motorcycle in the back of the garage so it is not so easy to ride instead of drive. Also a big thank you to Rich and Jon! the pieces are all falling into place now.

Looks like some good work here!
Out of curiosity, how did you blow your motor?
Also- where did you get the awesome battery mount?
Posted by: Gint Jul 29 2008, 11:42 AM
Hiya Chris! What happened to the motor? Stock rebuild? Supersize? 
Posted by: effutuo101 Jul 30 2008, 12:55 AM
Hiya Gint! I was a moroon and dropped a nut. I found a nut on the floor and made the big mistake thinking it was the one I lost. Long story short, the nut dropped into piston #5, the nut eventually lodged into the exaust valve and pile drove the piston into it. Much cussing and knashing of teeth happened after I quit laughing (or was that crying?). Jeff came to the rescue and rebuilt the motor in record time for me. I have to say that Jeff is a true enthusiast and has put time, energy and vast amounts of knowledge to my project. He really went above and beyond on helping me. I also have the distiction of hitting the top 10 in catastrophic engine failues due to user error. You should have seen the crap that flew out of the exaust and dropped onto the asphalt.
Motor? hmm. umm 
Say Hi To Sharon for me!
I got the battery mount at the local hot rod shop. It replaced my battery trey.

Michelle and I gotta go buy a gift for a wedding tonight, but even so, should be around the rest of the week. Started working on Porsche's again so I can hopefully keep my 914. Figure it's a second job, but at least I can stay home.
Posted by: effutuo101 Jul 30 2008, 01:28 PM
I am really glad to hear that Dan. Maybe Friday evening I can run up and say Hi. I found some more stuff for you.
Posted by: messix Jul 30 2008, 02:11 PM
hey chris i got yer sweatshirt still, you wanna make a run out high bridge to get some break in miles?
Posted by: effutuo101 Jul 30 2008, 07:43 PM
Break in miles. hmm. I just raised the rev limiter on my car to 6500, so I am sure that some more miles would be good on it. I ran to the airport last night to pick up my son. (flight 7 hours late) and all around bellevue and lynnwood today. I could probably squeeze something in this weekend, but I will have to see. Want to run up to Dan's with me? you could show me some new back roads. Maybe tomorrow evening or this weekend some time.

Cool Dan! I will swing by.
Posted by: Root_Werks Jul 31 2008, 10:26 AM
Cool, I've got Humble Ed's 914 all done as well. So they'll be like 3 914-6's floating around my house tonight along with Tom's nice 914-4. They way every driveway should be.

Hey Chris
If you have time tomorrow I could use some help I will be home about 1:00pm and working on my car until it is done. I didn't get the Engman tabs I was hoping to get so I went and made some myself. So I will need help getting the sway bar in and then bleeding the brakes. Up for it ?

Chris did swing by yesterday. His 914 sounds great! Very smooth. Just gotta keep putting those break in miles on it now.
I really wanted to go for a ride, but was backed up with work. Figures it was the only time this whole week it rained as well.

Its threads like this that make me want to do a six conversion. Great work. Do you have any more pictures of the flares going on, or the old ones comming off?? Actually any additional conversion details you could share ?? 
Again looks great... 
I love orange.

Chris,
Where can I find more info/pictures of this car. What is its history? What is the history of the smaller square flares?
Forgive me if this was somewhere else.
Kyle
Posted by: effutuo101 Jan 29 2010, 11:58 AM
Hi Kyle,
Not much history. they came off of another car and Jeff thought I would like them. We had spoken about doing a small flare car after seeing the picture of the white and lime green car. So, when these came up, we went for it. They are steel with some filler.
The cool thing with these is that you don't need the GT rockers. The thread has almost all of the pictures I have for this car. I will add 1 more I took late last night.
In the end, the car will be Pheonix Red, pewter trim and black bumpers. It should be fun.
After I am done, I will post a before, during and after picture

Hiya Ferg!
How are things in the winter wonderland? Hope all is well with the families!

Everything's cool here Chris. You?

It has been a wierd winter. No snow to speak of, and a couple of long sections of sunny and warm (50 deg) weather. Which means more time to spend on the car without freezing.
We did have one streach of really cold weather. I had Angela out putting a new bumper on her jeep at 19 degrees. The next day was 50. She wasn't very happy about that. But, the bumper was on and good.

Awesome project! Also, great to see another RZ fan. Here's my modified 84 Rz. (Not finished

That is sweet!
Not to hi-jack Chris's thread but perhaps you can re-post in the Sandbox (MC) thread & detail some of the mods?
Posted by: effutuo101 Mar 11 2010, 07:34 PM
Awesome project!
Also, great to see another RZ fan. Here's my modified 84 Rz. (Not finished )oh SNAP! very nice. I am with Rich. give it an off topic and let us know what you have done. I have a few items to finish up before I sell this RZ and look for a titled frame and motor. I see a 500cc twin 2 stroke in my future. With the TZ body work!
Posted by: effutuo101 Mar 11 2010, 07:35 PM
Good to see you today Dan! Stop by any time!

Good to catch up Chris and yes, I'll have to crash a Teener Tuesday soon. It's been a while since I've been able to fart in Troy's general direction.
The 914 looks really good, the flares are crazy cool! Very unique.
Not to hijack, but I tried to purschase my old blue car back. Current owner won't sell though. So not sure what to do at this point. I don't think I have the energy to build another one.

Dan,
We have the technology to make it bigger, better stronger. And help out. We could do another one and have it well sorted out. We could even practice on one first to make sure we have the details sorted....
Posted by: Root_Werks Mar 12 2010, 04:47 PM
Yeah, yeah. Don't try to get me all juiced up, I'm still only surpervising your roof project.
Posted by: effutuo101 Mar 12 2010, 05:27 PM
LOL! yep, but, with another one under your belt it would be pretty straight forward for us to do a third.....hint, hint, nudge, nudge...

Big thank you to Rich for stopping by and helping me put the back pad back together.
Pieces are going on and need to be adjusted, but, everything is almost back where it should be.

Pictures don't do the 914 justice. It's really turning out nice!
Trade ya for my Box!

Wow Chris, that looks amazing! Well done.
Michelle and I stopped by Rich's, picked up a couple of parts. We would have swung by but it looks like it's about to dump some rain and I didn't want to put the top back on.
Those flares really did turn out good. Love the color.

Had another chance to see Chris's 914 on Saturday. Love that 914!
The interior is really turning out nice as well. That dark grey is very cool!
Posted by: jimkelly Nov 15 2011, 06:49 AM
are these flares available for sale somwhere?
a rear set would be nice.
at first i thought they were hammered out on car -then i saw a pics of a panel taped to the car.

Posted by: sixnotfour Nov 15 2011, 09:13 AM
I got them in trade from Jamie who cut them off a junkyard 914. 3 were pretty nicely done The 4th one I think the person just wanted to be done.
They do look unique for sure.
basically, they were made by cutting the fender and tipping it out the desired amount and then add strips of metal.
