Took the 914 to a big start of year classic event at Bicester, Oxfordshire (UK...) yesterday - 485-mile roundtrip in the day. Was one of only three 914s there. Attracted plenty of comment and lots of photos taken. I think I love this car as much as I did the 914/6 I use to own...




I've seen the Speedhunters coverage from that event from earlier years and it looks fantastic with the mix of cars and yours look great too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Installed the Carmagic ( vintage)LED gauge bulbs; very nice product, the bases are BA7 and the LEDs are dimable. They make a brighter LED ad well as Red, Green, and blue.
Right now, the fuel/battery gauge still has the OEM bulb, and the clock temporarily has a green LED, green looks good at night but it will be replaced with vintage whitr
Also installed an Engine Start momentary switch where the cigar lighter hole is

I dropped off a bent 5-lug ATS Classic at Wheel Repair Specialists in Santa Ana this afternoon. They did a great job of straightening an ATS (4-lug) Classic for me a few years ago, so hoping they can do the same for this one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Turbo tie rods--well, the passenger side so far. Only took three years.

Sorry for the sideways picture--not sure how that happened.

I'll be posting some additional pictures and thoughts/lessons learned when I complete the job.

Picked up a cheap lightweight rusty cargo rack for that upcoming epic week long WCR. A tad big but with a rad in the frunk and the pass seat occupied I need luggage space. Going to mod a few things but should work well.

Then on the way home I stopped to look at a nice 944 with 50k miles at a corner lot. Owner & lot manager is a VW bug guy that had a 914 back in the day. We chatted a while then he tried to get me to wrench for him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) We'll talk again after I get my own stuff fixed.

I agree. I would have been afraid that rim would break when straightened.

I like the ATS style. I had a set on my 76 and always liked the look. The offset pushed the tire out toward the fender and limited the tire size to 185/70-15, but that was fine.

Not for my 914-6 but a person could put one on. 930s steering wheel as a Birthday gift to me.

I love this wheel. Going on my 86.5 928 44,000 miles and it has a perfect blue leather one in it but I like this one.

My favorite Porsche steering wheel. If I ever replace my stock wheel, that would be a strong contender. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
