The last pic shows two cars modified by a guy from PA (who drove both to AZ with his wife). Both have 911 engines- he modified the rear ends to accept 911 suspension and 915 transaxles, and obviously oil tanks, etc. Also both have AC... lots of talent at that show!!

Ok, I didn't do this today but last Thursday.
Went to the CA DMV and had the 914 put in my name and got the registration current!  In 2014 when I first went to the DMV at AAA they wanted over $800 for past due registration and penalties. The PO had told me reg was non-oped so I shouldn't have had back fees. Talked with PO and he agreed to split the cost with me but then never paid me and quit responding to text, email. So about a month ago I went back to AAA and had them look it up and this time they said it was above the limit AAA is allowed to process and I would have to go into a DMV office, AAA's limit is $1000. I made and appointment and dreading it I went in on Thursday and got it handled. Actually got someone that was good and friendly. I registered a old past due trailer for$10, got my "Real ID" to replace my expiring drivers license and got back fees waived on the 914. Registered through August of 2020, use tax and what ever other stuff CA tacks on for a total of $350. Not bad considering it was over 1000 going in. Jim |

QUOTE(Mark Henry @ Oct 2 2019, 05:58 PM)  My /6 started running like crap leaking oil and sounded like I had a head gasket issue, WTF. Part of the problem was I had a rocker shaft get loose (oil leak), fixed that and started it up, still major noise and running like poop. Put it on the car lift running and my new PT wrench spotted a nice little flame popping out by the header. A screw that blocked off an air injection port had fallen out, got a M10 valve adjuster screw and stuck it in...problem solved. Yea! My /6 is a driver again! woo hoo! Was the new PT wrench the kid that stopped by at the Mosport gathering at your house? |

My 2007 Cayman S is registered in CA and I only pay about $260/yr. That is crazy for a 40+ yo car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

I don't have the break down of the fees but part of it was the "use tax" which is sales tax on a used vehicle. I believe it was about $140 for the registration for 2020. Since I don't live anywhere or own property other than CA, I am a bit limited in registration choices. Jim |

I believe it was about $140 for the registration for 2020. I forgot about the 'use tax' thing. A couple years ago, I ordered some personalized black plates for a car that I hadn't paid the annual registration for almost 40 years. They didn't have the planned non-operational vehicle option back then, so I never signed up for it. I had to re-register the car to take possession of the new plates, and the clerk I dealt with tried to invoke an astronomical back-fee penalty.Since I don't live anywhere or own property other than CA, I am a bit limited in registration choices. Jim I went armed with info on historical vehicles, something most DMV employees apparently aren't aware of. After arguing with the clerk, I asked to speak with a manager. I presented special DMV vehicle codes to the manager and she left for about a 20 minutes, probably to research those VCs. When she returned, she took my paperwork to a different clerk and she had me sign an affidavit that the car had non been driven on public roadways since it was last registered, and pay $75. to register the car. I had previously paid the $50. fee for the personalized black plates, so all was good. They also made me relinquish my original title and issued a new title for the car. Here's an article that explains how it works ... https://forums.aaca.org/topic/179412-no-bac...-in-california/ I realize this isn't going to help you out now - I doubt the DMV will refund you anything, but remember it for the next time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Continuing the disassembly, I took out the rear window along with all the targa bar trim inside and out. Found a shallow dent on top of the bar near the driver.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Drove it to work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
Lost the fuse for the instruments, so the last 1/2 mile was with the gauges against the lower stop. Lunch will be sitting in the parking deck chasing the short. |

Met a local 914 guy (Mike) & became friends at a local car show on Saturday. His 914 HAS A 420HP (RWHP) Chevy 350 in it. I discover that he is a Type 4 VW engine expert, who raced VW’s & tuned their engines and Weber’s for years - before he got his 914. He put me in touch with a Weber genius in Colorado Springs who has been super helpful.
First thing he said was that the 36mm venturi’s in the 44’s were way to big for the engine, and I needed to put in 32mm venturi’s. Guess what? I was told that on 914world long ago, AND HAD THE 32mm's sitting on my bench. Installed them last night. Wow. Engine runs 10x better with the 32’s, Even idles nicely at 1,000 rpm now. Runs very smoothly, transitions very smoothly from low RPM to high. Bad news? I’d guess a 50% loss in power when throttle is more than 50% open with the 32mm venturi’s. Hopefully increasing my main jet size will correct most of that. We’ll see. They are .135's now w/ A/C of .175......thinking of going to .155 mains and .200 on the A/C......... Experts thoughts are welcomed........Chris???

Funny you say that about the 914 versus Cayman S... I have the same thoughts... 914 is a raw driving experience. No power anything but the motor. Cayman S just does it all with finesse.... I laughed when I read your post cause I had to choose last week on a Malibu PCH drive and I took the Teener...
QUOTE(Gatornapper @ Oct 1 2019, 06:10 PM) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Me too Sir Andy. Took mine for a 1 hour drive in nice country twisties in my area, and actually think I enjoy driving the 914 more than my Cayman S.....it's just more fun - have yet to find a curve that it flinches at, regardless of speed. Running the $$$ Bosche VR, GEN light stays on most of the time, but system is charging.....after shutting engine down, battery voltage was 12.94. Was showing 13.4 running several weeks ago.....glad it's charging, but why is the light on and why aren't I seeing 14.1? ???????? GN |

When to Harbor Freight to get a very deep 13mm socket to replace my temperature head sensor. Going to wait until I get my new FI harness from Jeff Bowsley to tackle the job in one swoop. Sincerely hope I have no problems replacing the sensor and harness. Fingers crossed.
Don’t want to bend the wire. Should I drill a hole in the side of the socket? Attached thumbnail(s)

If it's a cheap socket just slot the side with a cut off wheel.
