Not out since December. Too much work and no play. Decided to visit Winstar (they say) the worlds largest casino to win my fortune. Netted out 0.01 cents but had a blasting half day of driving!

Where's Waldo?

That's a classy way to use your 914. Ha ha! That actually looks like my car except for the wheels. I have an Irish Green '72.

Looks like a pikes peak car...

I finally got my motor back in after having a rod bearing go bad, ended up adding a web 46 cam, high flow oil pump and oil pressure ball valve. Have to break it in, but driving slow in a 914 is still better then driving a modern car!

Two things: 1) Installed a new lifter (Hi Volume Lo Pressure) pump for the Hi-Pressure system; and 2) Shipped the LS3 to...Cali! Both good things to cross off the list.

After a day at the track (Thunderhill in the Cayman) ... got home and my super deal wiper switch was waiting for me .
Took off the steering wheel, pulled the turn signal and wiper switches , swapped the "runners" . figured out horn connections, re assembled and EVERYTHING on the stalk now works ,
Horn, blinkers, and wipers ... totally stoked !

Figured I had better some comment since I have been working on the car since getting painted. The "March Madness of College Basketball" helps me to work on the car. I have been going through the time consuming process of putting everything back together for the up and coming 2016 WCR in Medford. It does take time and the basketball keeps me in the garage working while watching basketball. Not bad for enjoying two items together.

The car is mostly put together with remaining items to complete such as checking electrical systems, connections, working, etc. I need to finish up some items such as the side valences but probably will not get to them until after WCR.

Now to see if everything works!!!

Last night I machined down one of the center caps I got from Vegas Racer (thanks John!!!) which had disappeared after a long drive last October. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Needed to take off some .20 off the diameter to get it to fit.

Oh yeah, put some green loctite on the set screws this time...

Thanks to Rob for the tip on setting the badge orientation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Congrats! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

What other high mileage 914s are out there? I figure there should be some 300k and maybe 400k stories out there...

Started it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

After not running since Christmas Day, I thought it might be time to give it a shot. Been reluctant since tearing my Achilles (a different thread) but figgered, what the heck.

It's been on a Battery Tender all winter. Klock kept perfekt time. Got in, turned the key, and she kicked right over.

As I type, she's out in the driveway, purring like the proverbial kitty...

Ahhh, the little things in life. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Driving can't be too far off.

Oh, and I do believe that throwing a couplafew mothballs under your car during storage is a good thing. Vermins hate that.

Great suggestion on the moth balls. I never thought of that!

My wife doesn't like the thought of mothballs laying around because our dogs might eat them, so we use urinal cakes (the ones with the plastic 'splashguards') (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)
