QUOTE(914Toy @ Nov 14 2018, 01:43 PM)  What is the address? The main drag is S8 or Paseo Delicias with the major cross street La Granada in Rancho Santa Fe. I never knew the names so had to look them up. Coming down 5 from the north you would likely take the Encinitas Blvd exit and go east.

Saturday morning was another beautiful day and 914Toy headed down to join me and check things out in RSF. But I forgot to get any pictures of his car before he left, sorry Keith. We did get a chance to check out each others cars, he has a nicely done car, and I'm kinda liking his Clewett crank fire set up. Hmmmmm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) and his reflector idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
My wife is not thrilled to ride in the 914 but after some begging I talked her into coming along. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smlove2.gif) She helped me in trying to learn and develop my GoPro skills so check out my link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YFhRjbQlTo I like the sound and more to come I hope. There was a videographer present Saturday as well, developing her skills, and she spent quite a bit of time on my car so I hope to get a copy of her work.

Last weekend I met someone video taping my car at Cars & Coffee (pictures above) and since she had given me her contact info I reached out to see how it came out. Unfortunately this was her first outing she said her gimball didn't work well for her and the video did not come out well.
I mentioned all this to my buddy who said he had some video of my car at Renn6. So now I have this video of my car and other 914's there, but what I really like is the sound of the announcer over the loud speaker in the quiet morning. Turn up your sound it's pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxyeanCuJMM (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg) |

Looks great Jim I can't tire of looking at your car. Knowing that I'm going to have one that looks just as good soon excites me no end! I'm particularly fond of the ride height, it looks spot on.

The engine compartment on mine could have used a re do and I did not realize it at the time. There is a price to be paid with that ride height, just something to think about. Keep us posted on your paint job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg) |

My friend who shot the Renn6 video I posted above is an IT guy and dabbles in a lot of electronic/ pictures/ video stuff, and I mean a lot. One of his new found loves is artfully customizing photographs to where they look like painting's and giving them to people. Today he showed up with a couple pictures he had printed up that he shot at last weeks Cars & Coffee. I asked for the electronic files so I could post here. These are 12"X18" prints!
The third one is the same picture as the second, but now to a whole nother level, almost cartoon-ish, but oh so cool. I'm going to frame them! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg)    |

I'm not parking my jalopy anywhere near Jim's nice white car.
Is there an alley I can park in next week? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) |

Great looking build, now I know what mine will look like in white.....thanks
Only real changes, I am going with stock mirrors, polished Fuch pedals and I am on the fence concerning the rear spoiler. I am also going to delete the windshield H20 squarters, antenna and rear trunk button. |

Must be a different car? Right? As for my mirrors I did not make that selection, unfortunately, car was built this way when I got it with the beginnings of the 6 conversion. Paint is Imron from 1995 and I can't match it so I'm not going to try anything like changing the mirrors and the same goes for the spoiler, it was already there too. At first I didn't care for the spoiler but it has grown on my and I love it now. Looke forward to hearing more on yours. Thanks for weighing in and for all the info on fire extinguishers a while back, I copied you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg) |

While I figure out next steps (I am not in a big hurry) on my transmission upgrade to a 915 with Martin Bott 916 kit, I find driving my car something I really look forward to. The cars and coffee I attend fairly regularly is a nice all back roads drive and good place to exercise it about 15 miles one way. I want to venture further like Carlsbad or Crystal Cove, the 5 freeway is not my favorite, but we'll see.
Saturday morning my car was nestled nicely between a perfect Ferrari F50 and a very nice Speedster. It doesn't get near the attention of an F50 for sure but it is well appreciated by many.

Came across this link here to an earlier thread about 915 trans, read it all, and it got me going again.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) So, thank you all who posted to that thread! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=298292 Haven't posted in a while because there is not much to report yet on my 916 trans. project and I have had a rather big iron in the fire taking all my time. The news is, I found someone locally who I think can help me out, has actually worked on a real 916 years ago, and seems to really know 915 boxes. He has done conversions but had never heard of the Martin Bott kit, only Vellios. Kinda getting a list of few things I want to address while the engine is out too. Hope to post some progress in a few weeks but until then I just get to look at these cool parts and keep (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/white914.jpg)  |

Met with the transmission guy yesterday and I learned a lot. He figured out pretty quick where all the bits go on one of many cases he had. But it looks like there could be a problem with this little support circled here. Not sure yet but some investigation yet to do.
