Well, I just replaced the filters and wipers on my Subaru. I looked really hard at the 914, though. Really hard.

It is raining out there again man, get a tarp on it, or not... Went to do my undertank fuel lines, and discovered my hose clamps are too big, and that the fuel pump and filter are in the front, took off cover for MC and et voila! Sort of a funky looking pump, I told that dude I bought it from the pump was in front and he said, "No, I don't like that" Decent looking install though. will try a pic in the dark. Had a second set of hands, so I put the second horn on, have to get different clamps, DOH. Did the petronix last week, finally got my firewall bushing so that is next weekend. |

I built the lightest 914 in the history of mankind. Group: Members Posts: 120,725 Joined: 3-February 03 From: Jacksonville, FL Member No.: 222 Region Association: None |
I changed the size of my carb jets to 140 mains and 55 idles and worked on the f-glass targa bar.
Changed the oil and filters in the tow rig. Reinstalled the winch on the trailer and begin to mount the tool box. Does that count? |

I worked on the motor home. I replaced the flooring and all the furniture, had a new dinette built and my wife is making new curtians. its been a long choir but it is almost done. Leaving for Sedona on the 15th for a week and the wife wanted the motorhome cleaned up. Its a 89 and has had some hard use but it looks like new now.

I took my inaugural drive in my $1300 craigslist car. When I got the car, the PO told me it didn't start he didn't know why. I don't know either, I just shot some starting fluid in it and it fired right up. Then it proceeded to try and destroy itself by leaking fuel like crazy. So... I procured some new FI line and fixed the leaks. Actually there is a loose wire on the cold start valve, so maybe thats why he had trouble. I adjusted the valves pulled up some carpet, new plugs, new throttle cable. Now, I have a better of assessment of the good and bad in this car.
GOOD (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap56.gif) New Bilsteins in the back w/ some kind of performance springs. Front and Rear factory Sway bars. Good 2.0 SS heat exchangers. rebuilt? 2.0 motor (appears rebuilt and I was told as much) Weltmeister shift kit 911 SC front struts SC (I think) Fuchs Hella H4 conversion on the headlights Good condition painted early bumper (no holes) Console(needs recovered) BAD (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Some kind of rigged up clutch tube fix with bailing wire Been hit in the front where the passenger door meets the front fender. This has induced some long rust. Has a broken exhaust stud, and another one has been drilled out and never replaced. No exhaust hanger. Missing some FI stuff. Has hell hole rust, jack post rust, some firewall rust. So, I'm a littled bummed about the body issues. But, the good stuff far outweighs the bad. Also, I have a pretty clean roller that has never been hit, but still needs paint and body and some rustoration. I can't bitch, I did pretty good for $1300 plus a tow truck.

I tuned the six up and put in hotter plugs to cure the plug fouling I have been experiencing. I also replaced one bad plug wire end.
I need to finish up tomorrow by resyncing the MFI stacks and resetting the idle speed. Friday I am off work, so I am going to do oil changes on both 914s and adjust the park brake shoes on mine. |

Installed David Lee's towbar, thanks Dave. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)
Removed and packed injectors to send to CruzinPerformance for refurbishing. Ripped out the remaining air injection plumbing, compartment looks much better now. Sigh, no driving until the injectors return. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) |

Started parting out my donor carrera so I can transplant the 3.2l engine in it. So far I've been taking parts off over the past week and sold 8 items...i'm 1/5 the way to break even and have hardly sold anything. Man, it's amazing what people will pay for used 911 parts!
