Drove it to work to see how bad I screwed up my AFM.

Car ran good, but fuel map is all over the place and random. Oh well, time for a new (rebuilt) AFM to play with...

Took Betsy for a 350 mile trip for the first time in 20 years after putting new tires on her. She ran like a top and got close to 30mpg with the dual carbs. Didn't drip a drop of oil. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I took a drive up to see my girlfriend in San Luis Obispo. I drove up thursday afternoon through the pouring rain (and hail wtf?) and made it there that night. We went and toured around Morro bay, Cambria, SLO, and Avila Beach. It was quite the weekend in the 914. I think the total mileage was up around 800 miles throughout the weekend..

We took the Amtrak up to Chico, CA on Friday, just got home a little bit ago tonight.

No 914s were sighted during the W/E, but we did see a 356 coupe and cabriolet caravan buzz by us coming through the San Fernando valley (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'll try to dig into the 'BB' this week (when my new & improved leak-proof V/C gaskets show up) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


Those Brembos look NICE, Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)



Hey Ethan, I picked up a couple of those Honda GL (cycle) air boxes - want to see if they really DO reduce induction noise. Need to search for the thread 'someone' posted about them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

Thanks Michael - I am hoping it will look and be much nicer once Scott gets his hands on it. It needs a complete valve job and guides of course. Hopefully the rest of it is in great shape. Very low mile motor that sat out of a car for quite some time. Engine also came with some 964ish cams.

Took the Toyo RA1 Dot R tires off and put the Conti-extremecontacts on. Ran the duct hose from the engine shroud to the drivers side heat tube, I will drive it until it is too cold or snow falls, it does throw a little heat setup this way.
Drove it around town..

Love those RA1s! (But sucky snow tires, to be sure!)
