Gotta keep busy, right? We've been running the kart so much that it started to stall and run like crap. I suspected the plug was probably pretty fouled so Max got his first taste of small engine maintenance. Clean plug, it runs good.

It's good to teach him some of those 'roadside' fixes at an early age, but surely you have a soda blast cabinet, no? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I had a go-kart at that age and had tons of fun with it. Even though we lived in a large metropolis, I still drove it on some of the twistie streets in our neighborhood. Only got stopped by the Sheriff once (IMG:style_emoticons/default/busted_cop.gif) ... When we got a minibikes, it was easier to dart into a neighbor's back yard to avoid getting caught (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)


(3) 5-quart Mobil-1 0-40W oil jugs were delivered yesterday ... now, just waiting for the HAZET 2169 filter wrench so I can change the oil in the Cayman. USPS says it's out for delivery today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

That shouldn't happen with normal use.
Make sure the choke is fully open.
Adjust the mixture.
Good lessons for kids.
My first experience with an engine was a 2 cycle single made by Hirth.
The company is probably stiil making engine parts for Porsche.

Finished tidying up a few loose ends on the Ghia, drove it it out from under the lift and made a few runs around the block, then parked it on the street. It had been parked under the lift for a few months waiting to get fixed, so I was happy that the battery still had enough charge to start the motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I need to change the oil and do a cursory undercarriage inspection on the Cayman, so I'll get it moved onto the lift tomorrow. The HAZET oil filter wrench was delivered today √ ... Mobil-1 oil was delivered yesterday √ ... and already had a couple of K&N oil filters on hand √ ... so I should be good to go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Film at 11 ... maybe ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Finished the bodywork and paint on the Arena Red 986S and rebuilding the front suspension on the Cayenne Turbo along with other "while you're in there" maintenance items. That CTT is the most complicated vehicle I've ever worked on. Both are really fun though. I would never have believed there would be a time I could buy both of those for less than a decent 914. The Boxster S is no 914 but I love driving it and fills the void for now. Still always searching for that elusive smoking deal on another teener. For now I have to live vicariously through you guys. Stay healthy and safe everyone ~ Cheers

I also own a 2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder and I'm in the last stages of modifying the drivetrain so this thing can get out of it's own way.

I decided to swap a 2zz JDM engine into the car and have a Rotrex supercharger installed on a custom bracket and WTA intercooling.

I just completed my exhaust system and you can see the 4th pipe is redirected away from the Rotrex. Here are a few pics of the header I constructed. Forming the merge collector Attached ImageAttached Image

Since the 914s are getting love at the restorer's shop, I turned my attention to some Jeep projects I had lingering.

Installed a set of side steps/sliders

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-21443-1585763799.1.jpg)

Powdercoated, painted, and installed new differential covers and diff skid plates.

Finished off some CB and GMRS install details.

Took her out on a fun Jeep trail run.

Re-stocking a 30's era Mauser.



I have a few gun cleaning projects to do as well, wish our range was open!, and I spy that Buffalo trace and a Blanton's!! so far I only have 4 of the Blanton tops, not available here in SC I have to grab those when I go to NC to see my son or up to Cincy to see the nephew and their kids. in fact just to get a Buffalo trace I had to get on a list during holiday and they got an allocated shipment and they called me to pick up my bottle! crazy how different availability of bourbon differs from state to state!!;- so enjoy and have a shot for me.

I know you are in Cincy, as is my nephew, so you guys have way better access for that and other Buffalo trace and Stitzle-Weller products! My fav is the Weller Antique 107, but I did have some Pappy this past Weekend!!!!! - heard it kills viruses if the proof is over 120 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Good eye, @DRPHIL914 . Buffalo Trace has been tricky to find here since their little warehouse scandal. Not sure if that was the cause. But my kid has been going to school down near Nashville, so when I go to visit I must drive a good portion of the bourbon trail. Just trying to be a good dad. South of Louisville they are never out of anything and the prices are about 15-20% better than here, so I make sure to stock up. I'll drink to your health!

If you guys get desperate I live 12 mi. from Buffalo Trace distillery and can probably find what you need. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

i bet you can literally smell it can’t you!!!
well, i would never turn down a bottle of Blanton’s or Weller Special Reserve or Antique 107, any Weller for that matter! i am sure that we could work out some type of 914 parts trade for Bourbon!! can’t get Weller or Blanton’s here in SC at all. if you need any parts i have some stuff here ......

Used a Comet antenna and NMO hood mount (held on via tension bolts), and fed the wire into the spare grommet for what would've been the clutch pedal if I had a 6 spd instead of the auto.

Great range.
