That ex pel has come a long way, I’ve never been a fan, but I have to admit it looks great in the pictures. I may have to take a re-look at their product line!

Looking good! I hope to see your car in person some day!

Michael - You should have this thread closed. Why?

There is absolutely nothing more that can be said about you and your car's history and journey; the results achieved speak for themselves.

In my opinion, you and the Justice League have created one of, if not THE finest 914s this world has ever/will ever see.

And to the Justice League (pardon if I've missed anyone):
@Blue6 , @banananose914 and @Socalandy @914350

You guys... WOW, and f-ingA doubleclutch!
I hope I get a chance to meet you in person and shake the hands that did all this wonderful work. Just spectacular.

This car…is plainly gorgeous. And yes on the "best" 914 color—I'm green with envy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Congrats to all involved!

I shot some photos of the underside of my car since I had it up in the air. I think it looks as nice underneath as it does on top. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Amazing car!! So I get my muffler like chrome and then after a drive or two those brown spots show up....undoubtedly from leaks here or there. Have you come up with a method to clean those off with ease? I have yet to find a way other than elbow grease so it stays stained a little longer than I like. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
gg

Thank you Chris, you are too kind. I know there are many nice 914's out there. I am proud to call this one mine. If I could nominate the Justice League for an Academy award I would! That is one talented group of guys.

That's so funny. I had already sent and email to Ben asking what to use to clean those off. I was thinking 0000 steel wool and wax, but want to hear from Ben first. OK heard from Ben - Acetone and a scotch brite pad is what he recommended.

When they first started the car it had a small leak and that is the result. The leak was fixed of course. But I do think my transaxle is leaking a tiny bit. But I am going to drive it and get some time on it and then see how it is.

And I wish everyone could see Chris' @tygaboy car in person. The pictures do not do his work justice. I am absolutely amazed with his work. That car is going to be stunning- but you already know that.

When my car decided to puke a couple quarts I got underneath with microfibers and simple green and rubbed the hell out of the spots on the exhaust...they did come off, you'll just have cramped hands and your neighbors will know you've lost your mind... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) but it does come off, if Ben has a better solution I'd like to know about it too.

AMAZING car, you sir, are a lucky guy, so glad this story had a happy ending! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Thanks Eric. Ben says Acetone and Scotch brite pads. I will give it a try this weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

It is gorgeous underneath! Maybe I missed it, but you do not have a speedo drive. How does your speedo work?

@Krieger - No, I don't have a speedo angle drive or speedo cable. I had a later electronic speedo converted to my speedo because my car was at 89,6xx miles and I did not want it to roll over to 00000. So the later speedo has an extra digit and since my car just turned over 90,000 miles, I figure it will see the 100K mark in a reasonable amount of time. I have a log book documenting my mileage and it seems to be a true mileage so I did not want to lose that.

I have an electronic GPS unit that provides a signal to the speedo. Currently we are chasing some issues with that but generally it works. When checking it against my Waze app it is right on the speed. What happens at presents when you start the car the speedo goes to 140 and stays there for about 5-10 minutes and then it bounces around a bit from 0-140 and then it settles down and reads accurately. We will get it sorted I am pretty sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Are you using the Classic Speed GPS unit to drive the mechanical speedometer or did you convert to an electronic speedometer?

Great job guys and congrats to you Michael.
Wow is all I can say. The 6 looks beautiful all around. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Could you take a few shots of your oil cooler setup and post some pics please?

Looks like you're running a 911 return line from the engine over to the front cooler lines.
