Cool. I'll put it on my calender.

I gotta say though that this is dangerously close to a mall for me that near to Christmas. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif)

I had a copper 75 about 9-10 years back. 1.8 37k on the clock. I sold it for a song because i couldnt see it living under a tarp at the new house. Oh mistakes we make!

Wish I was in town on the 19th but Dallas is sunny and warm.

You would think with Dallas being bigger than Seattle there would be more teener action on CL but there isn't. I have yet to see one down here but still looking.

Have a great time and will see you guys on the other side of doom!

I am planning on being there on the 19th unless its pouring down (- I heard 914's tend to melt in the rain). I have a question for you guys: the 75 I bought has the stock steel wheels. i think the current tires are fairly old and 155. whats the best tire for that rim? Can I go with 195? 185? (I've never bought tires for a 914, so have no clue)

My car came with 165's on it. . . I got a set of Bridgestone 205/60/HR15s and while they were decent tires, a 205 is a large as you can go on a 5.5" rim and thus there was a lot of sidewall flex during hard driving.

I have since replaced those with a set of Goodyear EagleGTs in 195/60VR/15 and the look is perfect IMHO and feel is much more positive. The jury is still out on how they perform since I only have a few hard drives on them. 195/60 IMHO is the perfect size for a 15' rim on these cars. A 195/50 gives good performance and handling but is just too small in diameter. It looks funny and makes your speedo read way off.

guys,
kids, rain, holidays, divorce, etc. couldn't make it tonight. looking forward to meeting everyone in the future. I'm in on the "teener Tuesday" thing for sure.
Also, if anyone works in the Renton area, my office is down there, by IKEA, and I could do a teener lunch meet! (that sounds funny to say)

I was hoping to make the event last night. There was too much holiday and year end business activity on my plate.

I hope everyone had a great time.

Cheers,

Eddie

fuel pump!

When I had the car stored on my warehouse, we routinely started it every couple of months. no problem - it always started.

now that I've decided to get it all sorted out and running well, its refused to start twice. the last time, Akers diagnosed it as a "relay" problem and get it running well (and tuned up). now it won't start again (The battery is brand new). I'm guessing its the fuel pump. is the fuel pump easy to replace? can a guy like me with only thumbs and no experience working on cars do it? (I don't want tp pay for another tow to Akers)

Greg if its the 75 in your signature, dead simple.
Open the front trunk, remove 4 screws holding the pump cover plate,
Pull/jiggle the pump & attached lines towards you enough to access fuel line clamps on either end and electrical connections R&R ...then drive!

I found the four screws and opened it up. Ok, now, how do you get it out? The pump seems to be inside and connected to hoses, etc. no idea how you get it out???
Am I missing something?

Have you got a replacement pump yet? Probably best not to take it all apart til you have the new pump. Be sure you have some appropriate diameter bolts, or golf tees, on hand to plug the lines when you disconnect.

I live close to MI and could give you a hand if it would help. You can call me at 425-235- ate three ate three.
