Well after 10 months, I finally drove my car today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Granted, it was only around the block and I found a couple more things to fix, but it was great to get back into it. I can already tell this new engine is going to be a ton of fun...just the short trip around the block was like driving a different car (which isn't too far from the truth)

Unfortunately, my throttle cable is sticking, my driver side rear tire is rubbing bad, I have a new clicking sound in my tranny and my shifter linkage needs some adjustment.

Luckily, most of these are easy fixes and I should be back on the road by this weekend!

I have many thanks to go around for all the help people gave.

Eric Shea - for great calipers, bushings and a bunch of other stuff
JRust and computer4kids (Jamie and Mark) for passing on installing the engine:)
Racer Chris - for making my fuel lines safe
Doug Leggin - for my awesome new Koni sports
Bruce Stone - for the pedal cluster, side shifter "stuff", and other random bits


A special thanks to Rob Sime (conedodger) for always willing to let me raid his garage to borrow parts that I needed and also deciding to sell his 2.0 Fuchs, sway bar, progressive springs and tons of other stuff I have forgotten.

Last but not least, one of my best friends Justin (justinp71)...if it were not for him, I would not only not have a running 914, I wouldn't have a 914 at all!


THANKS A LOT EVERYONE!!!

Pics to come, but I refuse to post a pic of it in the garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
