We should plan a drive around this. I have gone the last few years and it’s a great event. Let me know if you’re interested and me and Chris can map out a drive.

I have a few ideas for a drive. Maybe the loop thru Tomoka state park and A1A along the coast North toward St. Augustine.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Daytona works, great event... or Sebring a month later. There's a fun loop of smooth county roads southwest towards Arcadia, and I've done the backwoods route from Amelia a couple of times. Lovely drives, and the weather should be perfect.

i would come down for the HSR Sebring possibly at end f November but the 4-5th is Hilton Head Island Concours, and the Car Club Showcase/C&C in HHI, which my car is part of, so no-can-do for Daytona .

Even with the power out I think all 914 lovers / owners are optimistic.

Hope you all make it through safely and without incident.
Looking forward to a Florida 914 gathering!

Stay safe!

Stay safe Fla914 people look forward to hearing from you on the backside of this! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Would it be better to take that car off the jacks so it doesn’t get lifted into the air from the wind getting underneath it?

Out of what? There is not much of a 914 left there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I love the way you made a bolt on wheel for the back of the transmission. What did you do to the front to be able to roll it around????

There are a few of us here in NE Florida that get together. We had about 9 at a PCA event maybe a year ago. We want to try and do something when the weather cools down. Racer914 has offered to show us his shop in Keystone so we just talked about making that a destination if he’s still down.

We also do a drive every New Year’s Day. It’s air cooled so we get 911s and a few other Porsche models that join.

Here is a link to our Facebook page

I'm up for it! Let's plan something

Clay, I made up these little casters that are mounted on a base and welded to an angle then bolted to the engine bar.

That is a very cool idea! Makes aligning the motor easier when putting it back in and they are small so they don't take up a lot of space when not in use.

Mind if I copy the idea and adapt it to my six?

Clay,

It's not patented. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I have 2 little bottle jacks and I put them under the engine bar and jack it up and use my floor jack under the tranny. This way I can jack it up and keep it level as it goes up.

Not rocket science, but effective.

It is a hell of a good idea. I wish I had thought of it

Up until now I have just been setting the engine on a set of jackstands and not moving it while it is out. This would be much easier.

I have some casters laying around that I can use for mine, and I have a welder.

Now how do I attach the casters to the front of a six??

Just make a plate that duplicates the bulkhead mount. Not exactly because it doesn’t have to weld to the car. Just enough to bolt onto the other stuff de of the engine mount and receive on or two castors. One might be enough of there are two out back mounted on the transmission mounts.
Jared did something similar to move my 912 around. Why make a whole frame when someone me adaptors will accomplish the same thing.

I just moved from SF Bay Area to Pensacola/Milton. I haven’t found any curvy road other than some exits… I am resurrecting my 1975 1.8. Actually going to try and spin up the engine today. Looking to find a 914 community as well.
