So taking the teener out for a fun rally event this upcoming weekend...California Melee...never been. looking forward for some fun driving stories to come..my fabulous friend Daphne Dee Light will be my trusty navigator and we're adding a fun goofy element to it with some cosplay... me as John Steed her as Emma Peel...
Wondering if anyone else going? Also, as this is my first rally in the 914 wondering what should I bring for security/breakdown/safety equipment...so far new tires all around flashlight assorted sockets, wrenches couple of quarts of Brad Penn oil extra fuses not that it matters but just threw on Ben's new muffler as well thinking about bringing the jump box...what else??? so as a newb in this event any suggestions would be appreciated |

I just did the fault line in my 914 in July.
Zip ties Wire and butt connectors If carbs extra fuel pump, filter If points bring extra points I bring an extra distributor Clutch cable Throttle cable Blue lock Tight Make sure your brake caliper bolts are tight my four front caliper bolts came out Round black relay Extra nuts and bolts Don't plan on running your car to low Jack+ stand Tow rope Ratchet strap |

holy crap now I'm worried! engine fire! rod thru the block! I'm thinking this is more of a long Sunday drive...Ok all good advice....I'll add the jack stand, block of wood, zip ties, tow rope...seems like some of those other items are extreme case scenarios...may have to get AAA card even though I swore them off forever after the crappy service I've received from them in the past

Drive the car a bunch before hand, fix anything that seems iffy, then just go and have fun.
(With a AAA card) |
