Sure! I think he will see this post also. Although lately he’s been quiet in this forum.

What works for me is to open the jpeg file before posting, rotate the photo through 360 degrees, save and close.

went on a run to the coast, the longest run to date at around 150 miles round trip
the car ran great although the speedo stopped working, there is an annoying squeak behind my head and the passenger visor drops down and knocks the rear view mirror out of position and wont stay up

I got it from my auto supply shop, the best round here - Auto Spares Kippax (ASK)
They had it in 55mm and 60mm so perfect for the hoses from the fan to the tubes and from the flapper boxes to the tubes in the longs

Nice job dude, 100% pure concentrated fun. I found the aux lights really finished off the front.

I agree; the lights really add to the great look of the front bumper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Looks great - and I'm always surprised how good the contrasting grills look. Black with chrome bumpers or chrome with black bumpers. Mine is black with black bumpers and they all look good.

Perhaps it's because the 914's bumper openings exactly correspond with its headlight lines? Contrasting grilles help highlight this subtle (and very cool) design cue, which is usually "lost" thanks to the black bumper strip, grilles matching the finish of the bumper, and trim pieces in front of the headlights.

the car is running great although the miles per year is measured in hundreds not thousands
I am thinking of selling aswe are moving house and I could do with cash to ease the pain due to the ever increasing mortgage interest rates
