It's been about 12 years since I have made a post on a 914 forum but since I have a bit of "Corona-induced" time on my hands I decided to play with my 76 2.0 that I bought 12 years ago. I removed the gas tank & cleaned it, replaced the fuel lines, filter and poured some fresh gas in and voila... it started right up after sleeping in the garage for 18 months.
I took it out for a short ride in the WI countryside and really enjoyed being in the 914 again! Some of you older 914 freaks may remember me from the other obsolete 914 forum as the crazy SOB who was the first guy in the world to install an LS1 (later a 520hp LS6) into a 914. I'll be poking around here a little bit as I'm now officially back into playing with 914's. The current car as said earlier is a 76 with backdated early fiberglass bumpers (major weight loss) but needs to be freshened up inside & out. Anyway, just thought I'd introduce myself and say hi to a few folks who may recognize me. Rick Ollah… you out there somewhere? Lol |

Oh no Mr. Bill... Sup Chappy? long time no talk. Good to see you here!! I assume you still have your turbo beast. Yup, still here i see i still have a number in my phone for you. Car - engine out need to reassemble had a oil pump problem about 2 years ago still haven't pulled it together. Cleaning the engine parts is overwhelming takes way to much time compared to assembling it. We will have to get together after this Corona shit is over with. |

Text me or PM me with your number. I looked but it didn't survive the last 6 cell phone upgrades. It would be fun to bop out to MTKA again and see your car and shoot the shit. I have fond memories standing in your garage watching your project progress... and sneaking peeks at all your 914 parts hidden away in various boxes... lol (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
