hello everyone
Just joined the club but I've been reading and learning for a couple of weeks now. I bought the 914 in Tampa a couple of weeks ago on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...2483069182&rd=1 and have been busy fixing tail lights, blinkers, horn, etc. I still have brake light issues as the PO has apparently made several modifications to the wiring. I also have a backfire on decel and will drive the car on ramps (scary) to check for exhaust leaks. I'm having 2nd thoughts after reading that the motor must be dropped to change a clutch! I am no mechanic and I hope that I can find a reasonable one in this (Pensacola) area. Looks like most of you are in the CA area? |

buy a haynes manual. before you start working on the car, see if you can find a company in your area that does steam cleaning while the vehicle is on a lift. working on a car that has had all the mess removed is alot more fun. congtrats on the purchase, enjoy and ask lots of questions.
