Hi Guys,

I hope everyone is enjoying the the holiday season.

As I mentioned before, given the increasing interest in 914s, I'm starting a new series for newbies and would love topic ideas. So far I have:

What's my VIN? (where VINs and body numbers can be found)
What is the hell hole?
Rust never sleeps (common hiding spots)
How to buy a 914 (sources and importantce of PPIs)
Parts is Parts (vendors and resources)

Have any other ideas for short intro topics that come up frequently?


Seems people are digging the clutch install video. Over 400 views to date! Feels great to give back to this amazing community.

If you find my videos helpful and haven't yet subscribed, I'd be super appreciative if you would. It's totally free and the worst that will happen is you'll be notified when I post a new one. I'm told that youtube's algorithm is much kinder to creators with more than 1K subscribers. I have over 800 at this point and need a little push to get over the top. Just takes two clicks:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzty3eJ465SGy5BBLJQN4Dg

Then just click the "subscribe" button under the right rear wheel.

Thanks so much. The more interest I have in the channel, the more I can commit to producing new content!

All the best for a happy and healthy new year.

Ian

Thanks, Mark. Means a lot coming from you. Your posts are always filled with great info...and entertainment .).

My day job is director/producer, and it's great being able to mix work and wrenching. I generally shoot these solo, so it takes a lot longer, but it's worth it knowing that I could be saving some knuckles from being busted.

So far about 15 new people have subscribed...which is great. But if every person who read this thread... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Just think of me as a shelter pet in a Sarah McLachlin commercial...for just one click, you can make a difference. (insert sympathetic face here)

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't currently have access to a carb car, but valve adjustment and setting timing are great ideas...

Ian, subscribed last week... keep up the good work.

It sounds stupid to you wrenchers but a video of an oilchange on a Porsche 914 cannot be found on youtube.

Being a newbie myself I did some basic maintenance on motorbikes but it would be great to see :

* how to drain the oil
* how to replace all filters
* how to refresh the gearbox oil
* which engine oil, gearbox oil, quantities etc to use
* adjusting the valves - which tools, setting dead top center etc
* what to look for or do on the original injection

I have a good idea on how to do it but to see it would be a nice factchecker (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

note : just bought a 74 2.0 fm Florida which will be shipped soon. First thing I will do is the above so hurry up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (joke ofcourse)

Greetings fm the other side of the world
