Zach:

I followed advice from Mr. Foley and left my lines long so I had room to work under there with the tank up.

While I ended up with a kink in one of the lines, it was pretty easy to work it out with the extra length of hose under the tank.

I would leave it the way you have it.

I don't know but your custom rear 914 badge is awesome.

McMark made them a while back. I got a bunch of them to give out at East Coast events. I have a few more, come to Hershey and I'd be happy to let you pick one. Don't know colors I have left off hand.

I haven't found time to work on it yet, but one of my thoughts was to find a coil spring to slide over the hose to see if that will help keep a kink from forming.

NAPA has a device to keep hoses from kinking. I saw it on the counter awhile ago. Sorry no other info.

So I stopped at best buy and bought the cheapest laptop I could buy.
My old machine is just too damn old and the battery only lasts a few moments. So time to see what a new $250 laptop can do. If I can use it for tuning and web browsing it will be worth it. Tuning may start as early as tomorrow, but likely next week.

Still a very slim chance the heap will make Hershey.

Not a hell of a lot, and windows 8. Which I am learning I do not like very much.
But the machine works with Tuner Studio and I can search the web on it. So it does everything I bought it to do.

The sticker on it says a 500GB drive, 4GB ram, 15 inch monitor, Celeron processor.

They all come with too little ram....geez.

Windows 8 is a simple click to the classic window....
Check it out, the OS uses 4 gigs to function.....

How does this get plumbed in?
How do the fuel rails get plumbed in as well?

Tank - Pump - Pass Side Fuel Rail - Driver Side Fuel Rail - Regulator - Tank

In your picture, the fuel regulator outlet is on the left.

So fuel flows in from the side of the regulator and out through the bottom?

Or other way around?

Car is back on all 4 tires at least for the moment.
Injectors are in. The engine has oil I. It and nothing is (yet) leaking. Shifter is installed but not adjusted from the cockpit. Trying to find the rennshift install instructions.

Tonight I'll get the engine side fuel lines plumbed in, and hopefully finish adjusting the shifter.
If I get that done, I'll get the air cleaner housing in and start chasing wires and cleaning things up.
Last thing this evening will be raising the front end so I can check and unkink the fuel lines under the tank. Getting really close to first start! Attached Image

Done for the evening.
Got the engine side fuel lines plumbed in.
Shifter in and adjusted.
1.8 Air Box in. That was kind of a bitch.
Got the car moved back and the front end up in the air. Tomorrow's task will be checking the fuel lines under the tank for kinks.
Cleaned up the shop a little and have stuff set up for tomorrow night.

LOL you will be fine!
The hoist was there just to get it out of the way, and to provide a big physical barrier to try and save my 914 from door dings as it shares a bay with my wife's car (and the 6 year old and 2 year old that often ride in it.)

A good day. I got to do my first muzzle loading competition AND work on my car!

I took the cover off the steering rack and looked into the inspection hole. Also felt around. No kinks that I could find. Left the cover off in case I was wrong, but put the car back on the ground. Felt around the portal where the fuel pump is (pump is in the front trunk for 75+cars) and no kinks there either. Screwed that shut.

With the car back on the ground, closed the hood, and smiled. This week has been like it used to be when I worked for the university. Motivation and TIME that I can work on the car. Climbed behind the wheel and played with the shifter a little. It may need a little more adjustment towards R and 1st, but all the others go in REALLY smooth. I was tempted to put the battery in, and turn the key just to see the dash light up after so many years idle. But then I heard my wife scolding the toddler from the house, and I knew my car time was over.

Still, a damn good day. I love the spring. I'm glad spring finally decided to show up! :-)
