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? |

Got a newly cleaned and powder coated belly pan from Bruce Stone, as you can see a good bit of rust and yuck on the old one. The other side was full of that bad undercoatimg that I think was applied by the dealership when new. That crap was all over everything, including suspension parts and brake lines! .
Also thanks to Mark Whitesell for the seals! (914rubber) Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

I reinstalled a freshly resprayed front valance, ordered rubber for the Mahles, cleaned up a bit around the gas tank, and my buddy has one seat done. Soon! When's he going to the one on the Left? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Installed my upgraded speedo gear from McMark at Original Customs. Since she's mostly track and has no speedo cable, I had a machinist at work whip me up a nice little cap to seal the end. No more drips from my girl!

Getting some back fires if I coast in gear after accelerating. If I go to neutral, and coast, no backfires. I am thinking my carbs are leaking a little.
I tightened up all exhaust nuts, cleaned the plugs, and made sure that the plug wires are all secure. Thoughts? |
