i just wanted to start a thread to see what you guys do day to day on your cars.

i'll start,

about a month ago, i pulled my engine and trans to put in a new clutch. had the flywheel lightened and resurfaced. but what i didnt know is that i had to shim the little ball that the clutch arm rides on, after a resurfacing. so guess what i did today?

yup, pulled the trans and put an extra washer under the ball. you have to goop up both washers to get it to seal because the threaded hole goes all the way thru to the inside of the trans. i also replaced the plastic cup that the ball rides in. the throwout bearing and its little plastic blocks were fine so i buttoned every thing back up. 5 hours total. i think this has been the cheapest repair yet on my car. $2.75 for the little plastic cup.

what did you do to your 914 today?

Literati914,

The muffler is a Leistritz that I had a shop fab 2.5 inch pipes. The engine is just a 2.0.

Great success! Converted to electric washer pump, followed the article on here and works great!

Waiting on LED gauge bulbs from 914rubber

Next up are the big winter projects: Suspension and Brake refresh. Weltmesiter 100lb springs on the way to hopefully pick up the sagging ass, rubber and whatever else I need to get it to stop riding like a 17 year olds poorly lowered Honda, lol

Changed the oil last night and diagnosed a noise that was getting progressively worse. Turned out to be loose spark plug. Might be a Time Sert in my future

I drove over to Jack Staggs' 356 shop which is a bit of a 'party' every Friday afternoon.

All kinds of Porsches show up. Even those weird '70s squarish ones. I think this guy hid his behind a real Porsche.

Drove it for well over 200 miles and for 4 1/2 hours on PCA 914-9/14 event - great drive, great people, great food, great fun.

Car did well, considering.....several adventurous events with the engine, but it kept going all day and never failed me. With Gen light on dimly much, but not all, the day, battery stayed charged at 12.4 volts & no electrical problems.

Temp stayed in middle until very end of both out and back trips when approached red but never too close. Flaps, t-stat here, going in soon....

Sad I missed getting a pic of a whole parking lot full of nice Porsches from the First Settler's Region of the PCA at the restaurant where we met and ate.
