Hello everyone,
This is Lynn but my friends call me Magic. I finally got myself a 914! The pics might look familiar as this was one of the 914s that Magnus Walker owned and then later gave to Tamir his film producer for Urban Outlaw. I purchased the car from Jarod in Ontario Canada on BAT a few months back. Took a while to import and transport to my home in Gambrills, MD. What's my plan: Like other porsches that I've picked up used, need to sort this thing out and put my touches on it to make it my car. First order is to get the mechnicals right and sort some stuff. Spent my first day trying to start the car with a weak battery. Recharged the battery over night. No start condition led me to check fuel, air and spark. In the end pulled the spark plugs and found they were fouled with carbon. Four new spark plugs and the car started up albet with a high idle around 1800--2000 rpms. Might need a tune-up and replace accelerator cable after lubing everything. Still sorting things likes adjusting headlights, right door won't open with exterior handle and a few other little things. I'll change all fluids to get to baseline. I'm hands on so this will be fun sorting over the new few months and into the winter months. If anybody lives near Gambrills/Annapolis area--let's meet up to talk 914! I'm looking forward to sharing on the site and learning all about the 914. Still working on posting pics--lol! Cheers, Magic |

And welcome to the addiction...though it sounds like you may have been addicted for a while (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif). This is an amazing community that's super willing to help, so ask anything. You'll also find that searching the site for topics is easier if you just use google and preface everything with 914world. I've made a bunch of videos about working on 914s. There's a link to my youtube channel in my signature below. You might want to start with the "914s for newbies" series. Again, welcome! Ian |

Ian Didn’t realize that. The site’s search function has frustrated me since joining earlier this year. Thanks for sharing that nugget. |

I found the best way to search the site is to simply use Google and enter 914World.com and then put whatever you’re looking for following that, fast, gets a lot of highly accurate results, and make short work of tapping into the amazing knowledge here |
