Might as well keep this updated, you guys can go though this nonsense with me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)
A quick recap: I bought this car late last year from world member @jacquot , I’ve been prepping and upgrading the safety equipment so I could run DE and autocross with the hopes of wheel to wheel racing later on. I finally got the seats and harnesses mounted with decent headroom for a helmet (without cutting out the floor cross brace). I decided to drive to work for the first time since all the prepping as a shakedown run - about 30 miles each way. Had a little snafu with the fuel pump in the am (I kicked the fuse out of the holder), but was quickly fixed in the gas station parking lot and I was on my way. Headed home for the day was where I got punted. A little sore today, I’m going to have some issues later on with that, I can tell, but back to the car. Today I reluctantly cancelled my registration for the POC autocross next sat, and informed my Luftgetkult buddy that we wouldn’t be arriving to luft6 in the 914 to celebrate the 914’s 50th. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) After the hit I was able to get her started ok and drive her home. Gauges were losing power every time I hit the brakes, blinkers weren’t working either. Turned out to be a missing fuse. Must’ve jarred loose with the hit, ended up finding it on the floor later in the day. Hmm, between that and the fuel pump issue earlier, it might be time for a JWest upgrade??? I also took survey of the body damage from above. I’ll jack her up in the am and verify motor and trans mounts are unaffected. |
