I installed a third seat seat belt so that my kids and I can all go together on shot weekend trips around town. The giggles per mile were off the charts! Hm! Can you use an early buckle as a center? I couldn't find an original center seat belt so I went to Seatbelt Planet.com and ordered this new belt in black with the black wrinkle finish. Because the decal in the engine compartment states 2+1 seating I believe that I am legal in Ca. I still would rather have three point belts with a shoulder strap. Cost about $32.00. ![]() |

Installed the new muffler and took her to the PIR Swap Meet on Saturday. Amazing how much quieter the OEM muffler is compared to the Monza. Feels a lot tighter too. Much smoother acceleration, more power at green lights and I don't smell like exhaust for the rest of the day.
I didn't find anything at the Swap Meet, but my wife found a bunch hot wheels she just had to have. It was nice to see this waiting for me afterwards: ![]() |

Nice drive up the Colonial Parkway, then out VA-5 to the Chickahominy River, then back to Jamestown, Yorktown, and home. What a great way to spend a Monday--100 miles on a sunny day with the top down.
I figure now that I'm an official part-time employee, I'm going to have to do this more often . . . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

After installing a wideband afr gauge, I've been toying around with various jet sizes, metering rods, and rod springs looking for the sweet spot for low speed cruising and power modes. What a learning experience! Before the afr, I was blissfully, yet happily content. I think too much information isn't always a good thing for anal mechanics like myself.

Maybe a harness bar and a 3 or 4 point belt will alleviate that problem. |

Tuesday night (@ Auto Shop class), got some time on one of the lifts - readjusted the clutch cable again (shifting much better now), minor readjustment to level out the front suspension, and threw some 6.35mm spacers on the front wheels. (WOW BIG difference) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
A friggin little Lexus SUV beat me on the top end (1 mile run). I need to get the damn jetting dialed-in on this puppy, it' still stumbling on me when I jam down on the 'go' pedal. The weather turned and wasn't hot enough to paint my banana today ... hoping tomorrow is better. Once I get it installed, I can start back on the jetting ... |

Finished the rebuild on the Rochester Quadrapuke MV4 and re-installed it.
Wish the PO hadn't ditched the thermo choke and it's associated vacum break. They are impossible to find. Guess one of these days I'll figure out a manual choke mechanism... 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? |
