@BENBRO02 - that is the plan. If it makes it there that's a different story. My wife keeps telling me to trailer it down, but what's the fun in that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

@OptimusGlen - I know right. I wish I had one more week to tune it better.


EDIT - Driver seat is in, readjuster shifter as I realized I still didn't have all my gears. Replaced driver blinker with a non-corroded one, works 1,000x better, Rear wheels torqued to spec. Ready for flight.

Thanks for the updates - please keep us posted!

Question - assume you install the oil tank without any fittings, fasten it in place and then the oil console and filler neck etc go on, yes?

This sounds like me in 2019.

I got my 914-6 4.0L running the day before I put it on the trailer to go to Okteenerfest.

Good luck.. and I will see you there!

She drove decent, but could be better.

She sounds good. More tuning needs to be done. I'm going lean as I accelerate. A few more runs with the fuel table will hopefully clear that out. My brakes are sad. I have to double pump it to get a firm pedal. I did not touch the fronts as the reservoir never let air in. I believe they are 911 brakes up front. I'm pretty sure I have the rears (NOS) dialed in, but maybe they need more bleeding. They were adjusted to PMB spec.

I'm now debating the trailer idea. While it would be sweet to cruise down in it, I'd rather make it down to the event then break down. It's about 9 hrs. I'm stopping in Hendersonville on the way down Thursday. If I can get a good trip around here under the belt maybe I will drive the teener from there. Wish it was sorted as much as my 77 Targa. I could jump in that tomorrow without a tool kit and get to CA with no problems.

Great to see it out of the garage and in wild - that's some record time.

The seats work well with the silver!

Dropping some money to de-stress the experience is a good idea. You’ve made huge progress, why not enjoy it.

This will get to the same level as the Targa, just don’t force it.

Very excited to see what you have accomplished.

Felt a little defeated today. Can't seem to get the hesitation to go away after several fuel table updates. So there's that and I may need a front cooler after all. Temps were getting to 220 after about a 20 minute drive with ambient temps around 80. In my 77 targa with an 82 sc engine I can get on it hard and eventually it might get to 210. Has a trombone oil cooler.

Insult to injury I may have even more oil leaks now. The PO must have not followed Wayne's book very well. I see curil T at the seam and the case was refreshed by Ollie's, but it's leaking at the seam. I think the lower valve covers too which were glass plate sanded for trusses and are the later style covers. I'm going to pull off the rubber gasket and but the paper one on and see what that does.

Lastly went through and bled the brakes again. They might have gotten a little better but not what I would expect from NOS calipers and pads and 911 brakes up front.

Hopeful for a better report tomorrow

As a pick me up, I decided to install Camp 914's rear trunk strut kit. This is a lot better than the PVC pipe I was using. Also installed new 914Rubber rear trunk seal both center and outer. Lastly, installed some decent shape targa top holders as mine were broken off.

Next on the checklist is getting the passenger seat back together (which is actually the driver)

Try to address some, not all, of the leaks.

Clean up and get the car ready for the trailer

More things to raise the spirit regarding how much oil is escaping while running.

Passenger (driver) seat is back in.

GT engine handle installed.

Items left:

Install engine lid. Wanted to convert it to a GT one, but ran out of time.
