My Cousin Vinny -- classic very funny comedy, and very well acted -- she won best supporting actress! I have watched it many times, enjoying it more each time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Started my 914 today. I've owned it for 2 years and it had not started in about 4 years prior to that when the previous owner had engine problems and parked it.

My "solution" was to pull the broken 2.0 Bus motor and install a 3.5 liter Honda V6

Now to clean up the wiring and the cooling system. Then put the suspension back on.

Alright Mike, You da man! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) You won't regret it. You just brought your 914 into the 21st Century. Can't wait to hear your reports on MPG, 0-60 and overall improved reliability. I'm really happy for you Mike. Kent

got a new wheel to use as a spare from a neighbor and fellow porsche owner, this will be my new spare rather than the run flat.
other than that, i installed brand new door handles finished putting new seals on the engine lid, and grill and installed it,

Installed Tangerine's firewall shift bearing, along with a bronze oilite bushing (from GPR) at the shift console. The old plastic bushing at the shift console, while it had relatively few miles on it, was very loose in the bore. The new bronze bushing was a snug fit, had to give it a few taps for it to seat, and now there is zero play. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Also checked rear caliper venting clearance because I couldn't remember if I had done so when I installed the rebuilt calipers last year.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) That's awesome mike!!! sounds awesome. there is a guy in SC that has done a few Honda conversions i believe.
that will be a nice quick car when you have it all ready to hit the road. How hard was the wiring to get done on that? that is the the thing that would keep me from doing this, i would not know how to start with that

Make sure the bushings in the shift linkage coupling are good as well.

The wiring was super simple , at a minimum it needs
+12vdc (full time, 7.5amp)
+12vdc (cranking only)
+12vdc (ignition on, 25amp)
Wire to the starter relay (ground wire for the coil)

Options are fan control, lights for alt. and oil light.


Wiring doesn't scare me, I'm having more problems with the cooling system layout than anything with the install (still confused on the overflow and expansion tank)

Replaced the worn out steering wheel and removed seat belts to recondition them. Also, replaced a Targa seal on the passenger side.

i had a bit of a crappy day. both trunk lid & bonnet have a mix of scratches and wierd texture look haze. not sure whats happened there.

clackety noise coming from driver side engine.

havent been able to get 4th & 5th geats dialled in yet

once again the motor factors messed me around, for the last time.

i took a break until the mrs came home, then things got better.

new windscreen fitted so easily. i am so glad i bought a new one and didn't stick with the chipped one.

the engine lid is also now on. for the first time since i've owned it the car is pretty much complete. cant wait to get the new rims out of the dining room and get them on the car.

i've decided to get out and drive it before the weather worsens. i'll then sort the niggles over winter.

255/250, however with bolt on factory parts it can get up to 300.

It'll be fun at the "lower" levels for now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I went for a balls to the wall drive down the freeway just for the heck of it and to hear the glorious song of my /6 engine.

After putting around in my 50(?) HP Karmann Ghia, this thing seems like an other worldly rocket ship.

To say a 6 transforms a 914 is an understatement. It takes the car to a whole new level, just like many of the other popular conversions.
