Finally got my 75 914 through Oregon DEQ and took my first real drive on some twisties. Just a quick loop out Skyline, down Mcnamee and back in on US30. It kicked ass.
Now I've got a pretty good pool of brake fluid dripping from near the passenger rear jack donut. Any guess on what blew up? I assume that it has something to do with some sort of rear T valve or something, but I have yet to get it on jackstands and take a look. If I can finish my bathroom remodel I'll get to take a look at it tomorrow morning. In the meantime, anyone want to take a guess at what I broke? Mike |

I don't know how he did it but after unloading my car and trying it out for it's first drive the pass side steel line to the caliper was rubbing the tire and in only a two mile ride through the neighborhood the line was broke and if I had backed up I think it would have puncured the brand new tire. I guess when he tighten the line he twisted it or something. When I went to look at it he said he had just replaced the emergency brake cables and it also had new brakes. We heard a funny thumping noise at about 5mph and my son was walking along beside it to see exactly where the noise was. The rocker arms were so loose it was already noisey enough and the steering wheel shaft would flop around and honk the horn everytime we hit a small bump. The seller offered to let me drive it before I bought it but it was so clean I didn't really care how it ran. I could tell most of it's problems were from a old guy messing around with his new girlfriends car try to help her sell it.
