Drove 15 miles one way to Greg's (racergreg) house to pick up few parts. Saw his new toy Cayman S. Really beautiful red body paint with beige interior.

Installed gold PORSCHE letters on my engine grill.

Fedex and USPS delivered my ordered turbo tie rod, various exhaust and muffler seal/gasket and some few bulbs.

Falken 195/65-15. The guy I got them from said they were on a 914 with wide tires, so I just assumed they'd be OK.

The Falkens were really inexpensive ($45. each, no tax and free shipping from AZ), so we'll see how they work out.

If too wide for the car, I can always sell them to a VW guy (or girl) on The Samba ... or throw some skinnier tires on them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I would be curious to find a place where you could get those for $45!
Mike, I bought the Falkens a couple years ago and they've been stored in the loft in my shop. The invoice was from America's Tire Store (bought on line). Check them out. Click here

I also buy tires on line from Discount Tires when they offer those nice $50. discounts, no tax and free (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ... Gotta shop around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

Got a set of Hankooks on the Black Friday Sale ... $295 shipped to my door

Well, off to The SAMBA classifieds ... too wide for a narrow-body 914

Shoulda checked the offset before going through all the trouble (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I was bored today so I finally got out the extra lid, and made a gt lid. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Found the Perfect Center Cap (I'm a Big Dan Gurney Fan) for my Revolution Wheels - they came off a Saleen Gurney Edition Mustang. Cheap ($4 apiece) & Super Cool!

Pulled the new engine out for the white car, started taking the 911 tin and exhaust off..... then stripped it down to a long block for some clean up.

Ready for some clean up, then it goes back together.....but with 914-6 stuff.

Need to clean up the CIS system as well I've got all new injectors, fuel lines, intake connectors and gaskets.

Got mine back from the paint shop. Finally!
What was going to be a "3 week" project turned into nearly 4 months. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Still quite a bit of detail and trim work to do but at least I will be able to drive it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Safe in the garage...

Thanks, Doug.
No where near a "restoration" job but much better than it was and a good starting point to clean up the rest of the car. No more "jack stand awards" for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

I have some proper offset late steelies that those would be perfect for. Let me know.

Thanks Joe, but it's all good. I sold the polished EMPIs and tires that were on Dianne's car, gonna pack them up in the next day or so. I put two stock steelies with tires (that I got from Bruce) and Dianne's spare on her car tonight. I have one more wheel to change, so I'll just stick a spare Riviera with an old tire on there for now.

I have three of these white Rivs, so if someone has one just like this and wants to complete their set, let me know ... they'll be available in a short while (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Attached Image

I was hoping the PC'd EMPIs would work, but rather than pulling the tires off again, I'll just try to sell the tires and wheels to a VW guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'll eventually get the other set of ATS wheels down to Al Reed and on to her car after her paint is done.


Also, finished up the '67 bug motor tonight. Re-shimmed the crank, installed new rear main seal and all the cooling tin the PO never put back on. Next task: bleed the brakes and stick the motor back in. Would like to sell the bug before registration comes due in March (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

This weekend I did some of the nastiest tasks on any 914: scraping floor tar and painting interior details. I also refitted and painted my fiberglass front spoilers for the track. Boy am I sore - I think I cracked or bruised a rib! Not to mention the paint fumes and fiberglass dust all day (of course I had a good mask and air circ.)

Public Service Announcement: When doing a racecar, do as much as possible BEFORE installing the rollcage, race seats, and harnesses! Obviously I could take out the seats etc. but that's extra hassle. The cage is welded with door X-beams...

Took the car down to the ocean to go clamming this weekend. Weather was nice enough for a top-off cruise home. 6 more weeks of what?
