After returning from Rt66, pulled the carbs for a badly needed rebuild. Found a local guy that says it will take only about three weeks, including replacing badly worn throttle shafts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .... While carbs are off, looked into the intake manifolds. Pleasantly surprised to see the engine had been ported, and the intake valves and guides appeared clean and low mileage. While waiting for the carbs, had time to clean and paint the rain hats and linkage. Had to paint a competition stripe in the middle of the linkage..

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I use the scissor jack that came with my Subaru donor car. It has a small gap in the middle that spans the flange on the bottom of the longs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Who would use Japanese parts on a fine German car like a 914 Porsche? |

A small-ish hydraulic jack can be stored in the car easily. There's easy room in the rear trunk or can be stored behind passenger seat. It's also cheaper to pay for AAA then it is for body work to repair the jack plate areas. Rubbish reply,without thought (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) ,you can remove stuff on these cars but you need to think a bit that it has another function . I have busted one my drivers side and I will be fixing it cause it is part of the structure in that area....been mentioned so far Bit of a weight freak have peeled of heaps of useless stuff but in the end some stuff stays. |

Got to spend some time with her. The longs still had a bunch of the original Canary Ylw. I wire brushed them, primed, and painted. As you can see passenger side has the oil cooler lines. They were wrapped in rubber anywhere they came close to metal. In the drivers side, I ran the wires for the O2 sensor, and the 4 gauge welding cable. I ran them into the fronk through the old antenna hole. The 4 gauge cable will be used for the battery, which is being moved to the fronk.

I have that triad version built for 2.0 heat exchangers. The second one I have seen. Early triad days wheN David Said owned the co. I like the exhaust note. No droning. You'll get comments and questions about it after installation. If you look closely there is prob a serial # on it. Mine is 004.

Love the sound. I'll look for the serial number. |

It's been awhile, but I finally got the engine compartment painted and organized. Our local carb guru got the carbs rebuilt and had time today to install and tweak them. The vacuum leaks from worn throttle shafts were bad, but he corrected everything in the rebuild. It was amazing how close he had dialed it in off of the car. A couple of seconds running the fuel pump, then fired it, and ran great. He's a perfectionist, so he spent a couple of hours dialing it in just perfect. It's runs and sounds sweet.

The last pic is of my self customized rain hats. I know it's not for everybody, but I like them and it's my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Thank Rob. l really wanted to make the 914 Fun day, but I was tired of having people push me around in the teener while I made engine sounds. No matter how much I yelled at them, they couldn't push me fast enough. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
