I haven't been on the 914World forums much in the last year or so. I went thru a separation from my wife back in October 2017. I'm much better off... save your condolences, LOL. The 914 was stuck in my [detached, non-conditioned, roof leaking] garage until around June 2018 and then I was finally able to move it (and my 993 and motorcycle) to the new place. I, then, just had to put it (and cars in general) on the back-burner for a while. Recently I've made it a point to make some time to tend to the garage and involve myself in the joy I get while playing with my cars... even if only going to Cars & Coffee on Saturday when the weather is dry and above 40f. I've been tinkering with my 993 some (suspension, wheels, steering wheel, etc.) but the 914 has literally been gathering dust, gaining cobwebs and being ignored.
Tonight I came home kinda early with the intention to just move the 914 to change a blown lightbulb over top of it and that snowballed into dusting it off, starting it, driving it a few miles up to grab some dinner and a drink, and finally back home to clean the glass, LOL. Boy, R888R's are harder tires than I remembered, haha. Ignore the dumb crooked front plate thingy... Just wanted to share my Monday night pic after blasting the cobwebs off her and recharging my drive to get the 3.0L in her!

QUOTE Are you upgrading to a 6 or just upping the power from another one? nice car by the way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Thank you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) It is a 2.0L-4 now. I’m Swapping/Upgrading to a 911 SC 3.0L w/ PMO EFI Throttle Bodies and Rasant engine management. It’s a drilled-hub 5 lug car currently but I just bought a nice 3.5” strut 5-lug setup w/ boxster calipers for the front so I’m gonna pull the old stuff off this week and clean up under the front of the car. I might commit to pulling the 2.0L engine too but not sure. It will force me to start cleaning up the engine bay. I’m still compiling my parts for the swap... holding out til after Hershey to get the last of it just in case I find any good deals there on things I need. But, I do have a lift and can jockey cars around in the garage so it can stay on the lift a while. |
