(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) took it for a fun little drive. Wanted to change out the front shocks but didn't get to it. Ah well, there's always next week.

Made a front trunk cover for the tank

You need a spare tire @jim_hoyland (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)





914 content... I worked on IceGreen a bit today and picked up some parts from a local member (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Got one.....

Boxster spare and jack etc, Jim?

I did a slight tune adj on the 914 now thst I can drive it, last week was getting my MC in and brakes bled, today was getting my timing set a bit better- had been thinking my idle was just a bit too rich at AFR~9-10, and a bit too fast so re checked timing on the 123 ignition and now my idle is back down to 900rpm, and AFR now reads 11.8 on idle . I think the plugs were getting loaded with the rich idle.
With that very happy with that! Acceleration feels good, and temps look good too.

Next projects in line are a new window regulator in the Maserati and then back to the 914 to re-do the sail panel vinyl, I have 4 projects for that to tidy it up before Amelia Island in March.

Yep
Found a guy on eBay who was doing spec Boxsters; he pulls out all the spare tire stuff including the foam holder and cover. Takes up a lot less room

I did my tank and cowl area with some thin perlon type rubber-backed carpet from Pep Boys back in 2012

I used a closed cell foam product that I bought on-line from Foam Factory. It's 3/8 thick. I cut it with a hot-knife, which makes for a really clean cut. I also have a template available...

Finally I was able to do something with my project.
Pulled it from the corner of my garage and cleaned it and slight buffing.
Then tucked it in again to the corner.

what kind of the closed foam did you use? the link shows about 5 different types. Also How can I get a copy of your template?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

We replaced the front shocks as well as transmission mounts and the rear sway bar bushings. Drives much smoother now.
Might do the rears next weekend.

Fitted Bilsteins all round, along with Turbo tie-rods and a whack of the lowering stick...

Next stop those ugly bumpers and carbuncles on the front wings (sorry, fenders).

Painted the engine bay today on the '75. We're going to take it off of the jack stands for the first time in 4 years and then It goes to the paint shop tomorrow. Awesome.
