I've finished installing Ben's new quiet muffler, Come hear the difference it makes On the /6! I just installed the quiet "Sport" (dual center out ala GT) on Alan's /4 ...... Fantastic sound & enormous difference from the tractor sound typically described as the character of the exhaust note. But "quiet" is not a term I'd use to describe it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Damn. First autocross of the season on Saturday. Also happy that the weather is supposed to be clear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Dang, Autocross and Breakfast too . .. I doubt it will be on the road by then, but the engine may go back in TOMORROW! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) 14 years is way too long for a man to be without his "Teener!" |

Found this cool video of 914/6's in a hill climb screaming sounds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW6ewCM-fV0 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) Those cars do sound good. I guess electric cars will be faster but nothing about that turns me on. |

Those cars do sound good. I guess electric cars will be faster but nothing about that turns me on. Ya hit nail on the head! For years I traveled to Monterey for the Laguna Seca round of 500GP/MOTOGP races and have to admit a significant part of that experience is AURAL sensation of race machines screaming by a corner. In later yrs they started the E-bike GP series ..... though the bikes weren't quite as fast ( but are getting faster EVERY year) the biggest nit was the lack of sound!!! They were all but silent except the sound of tires clawing for traction & the whizzing of the chains on sprockets. Not sure how you make up for that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Anyone local (near-ish Seattle) have a good working (0 280 100 043) 2.0 MPS they'd be willing to let me borrow for a week or so?
I've been having intermittent stalling and lean/rich conditions and I'd like to rule out the rebuilt MPS I'm using once and for all. Not looking to start a troubleshooting thread here. I already have a long thread on the board somewhere that explains everything I've already tried over the last 2 years, which includes new fuel pump, injectors, CHT sensor, new 123distributor and coil, and new ignition and FI harnesses, among other things. The issue is intermittent, which is why I'm hoping I can borrow a good known MPS for a week or so. Happy to travel to pick it up or pay for shipping, whichever is easier. Figured I would post here to find one locally before asking the favor from the larger community. Thanks, -R |

I have a spare -043 MPS meant to work with a 043/044 ECU used in 1974. 1973 model year 2 liters used an -037 MPS with a different ECU. I also have a spare -037 ECU, both removed from a mismatch by a prior owner on my 1974 LE. |

Thanks Billy, that's for a '73 which could work according to the pbanders site, but since it's in an unkown state, I'll pass. I appreciate you offering though. |

If you are in Port Orchard, any chance that you're comfortable mailing it? (I'm in Shoreline/North Seattle). I"m happy to pay mailing costs + whatever amount you feel is reasonable for the effort. |

Anybody want to learn to weld. I have a Lincoln HD100 with tank and HF helmet that I used to do the bodywork on my car. Its the right size for thin metal, but that's about it. I know this isn't a classified forum, but I'd rather sell it to a local guy. $200? I also have a REALLY NICE stool left over from a commercial furniture job. Retail on this ting was about 350. Hows $25? I also picked up a doctors exam stool. One of the little roll arounds with a vinyl seat. It would be the right height for working close to the ground. Free for the asking. You need to come to Kent and pick it up. Help me clean house
Welder and little stool have found a new home |

Billy, based on my recent welding projects on my current 914-6, I could use some welding refresher classes!
Rich, that green 914 looks amazing! |
