Apparently I was waiting for something before I started a thread for work on my 914-6. Whatever - the car stopped turning over while I was between mechanics and wound up sitting with a dead PermaTune box for a couple years. Better late than never, I'll start the thread now...
It's a factory 914-6 that was modified and repainted before I got it. Steel slant-nose, Brembo GT brakes up front, old fronts moved to the rear (and original rears long gone), 3.0 liter SC motor with Webers, 6 & 7 x 16 Fuchs from an '86 Carrera, etc. Started out in Signal Orange, but it's been through at least two color changes since then (white, then black). And as of late May 2012, the odometer has just clicked over 00,000 miles (believed to be the first time based on included paperwork). VIN # 914 043 2486 Orig Engine # 64? ???? (need to order COA) Trans # 750 2505 Karmann body # 132566 (stamped inboard of lock, floor of rear trunk) Here's the standard shot of the car from pictures taken after I took delivery. Edit 8/2014: Added various ID numbers |

Thanks. Ordered the coarse spline, 6 bolt, 100mm transmission output flanges (923.332.209.02) and the '74-77 911 6 bolt, 100mm stub axles (923.332.232.01). Altogether $375+ - ouch, and less than halfway there. Should've been patient and posted WTB on Pelican, but... So that's this month's teener money spent on the halfshaft front.
I'm inclined to go with the Sway-A-Way #2420, which will require the 87+ 951 CVs (951.332.901.00) for everthing to have 28 splines. If I'm lucky I'll find good used CVs and could bring this in just over $1k in parts with the needed wheel bearings. Not sure if I mentioned that the tach stopped working. And I just paid for the triple gauge kit drilled for the silver button, so I shouldn't just throw in the nearest 911SC tach w/o the button... Good news: I do have the correct tach (914.641.301.10). And while I couldn't remove the whole cluster, I did manage to pop out the combo gauge. Lots of suspicious splicing, but I did find a loose green w/ black stripe lead that's probably for the oil temp sender. I've got pics from the CV adventure I'll post up here when I'm bored - or maybe in more of a how to (or how not to) thread... All right, enough procrastinating - back to work... |
