The Porsche lives!!

Thanks to Mike and Garry at Mulligan Racing Development the car is back on the road. The motor had some serious issues that were beyond my expertise, so defer to the experts. And let me just say, I am very pleased. They jumped through hoops and the car is awesome.

In the end, the tired stock 1.7 became a 1911 with Weber 40's and a Web 86 cam. I'm still breaking the cam in but so far the car runs phenomenal. Fires up first crank and runs awesome. Looking forward to letting it breath after an oil change.

So far the car has about 70 miles on it and I'm taking it the Big Socal GTG here in San Diego on Sunday. Should be a lot of fun to finally have it out of the garage and on the road!

Stay tuned for more pics and maybe some video.

Definitely an enjoyable road. Pacific Highway in Carlsbad, CA.

After a few days with the car... I need seats!!! These things are killing my back.

At Qualcomm right? I'm guessing yours was the white one. I never found it, but a friend sent me a picture of it. I thought I was the only 914 there. Bummed I missed you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

So I've broken in the motor and changed the oil and tranny fluid. Finally got to open it up and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) !!!!!!

The motor screams! Sounds very throaty and pulls hard (for less than 100hp haha). It's definitely fun to drive.

There's plenty that needs attention but the immediate things that popped up was the return spring when heated up and stretched loses the strength to pull the idle back down. So it was idling around 1500-1700 when warm. New springs and no more of that problem. Another issue is the clutch tube appears to be free up in the front of the tunnel. So a couple cuts and some heat may be in order soon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Just got a carpet kit in the mail from 914Rubber and GT door cards from Appbiz. Going to be removing the radio and poor associated wiring soon. Still looking into a seat, might have a lead on something to my liking.

Overall I'm very pleased with the motor. Looking forward to Autocrossing in the near future and it looks like the car might be making it to the holiday with the family this year. So really really excited for that.

Pulled apart the rest of the interior. Stripped out the 80's radio, wiring, and speakers in the door cards. Found some random coins from the 50's - 70's, pay stub from my grandfather's old business, and other random stuff. The floor vinyl was pretty nasty but actually cleaned up quite well.

Temporarily placed the carpet. Everything fit really good. It's a 914rubber 10 piece, domestic loop kit. The only trimming required will be for allowing the parking brake through. I'm waiting on the sound deadener to arrive before I start securing the carpet down.

Also ordered an appearance group style console from 914ap.com and have some gt style door cards from appbiz.

Thanks for the info. Hadn't seen that. Was thinking one day I'd go with a Tangerine setup but that's another (much cheaper) option.

Did a few more interior items. Finished up the rear window seal and trim, installed the pedal board, sealed the vapor barriers in the doors and finished the door panels. The interior isn't done, but it's getting there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
