And here's a pic of the new puppy.... His name is "The Captain".

Dear "Northeast wenchers" - did you mean "habit" -or- ... (ahem) ...
ADDICTION ???

Seriously, it looks like youse guys got somethin' super goin' =
DO-DO-DO keep it up - but for 1500 mi (i'm stuck out here in the
interior) i'd have been there & lovin' it. just a suggestion, RMITAL` - "Tyke"
has to feed his putt-putt (known as "Piglet") a steady diet of octane booster
- looks to me like an investment in Pepto Bismal might be in order
to keep this unfortunate green thingie happy ...

I'll definitely try to make it next time. What about before/after this:

Anyone actually know if the above was made "official"?

Great to see you guys.
Sorry I couldn't stay long.
Not bad for the first round, but not enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
We can fix that.
It was nice to see all that rust in one place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Leo - Can you post a couple of the pics you took?

Also, the "new" fuel pump we swapped turned out to be pumping 70psi!!! Turns out it was a 911 pump - we musta swapped the things 3 or 4 times before checking the pressure and then realizing the old one was not getting a good ground. We were a bunch of monkey's scratching our heads... but then we rigged a lil copper wire between the bracket and the pump itself to ensure a good ground and got the car back on the road...

I'll try to post them tonight from home.
I knew that pump didn't look right. It was way bigger than the original.
Did the car run better when it left or when it came in?

Rich was having a bit of trouble getting power in the first few minutes of our drive toward the freeway but it cleared up and he seemed A-OK up to where we split off (I had to run to Home Depot - a man's job is never done). He's still having some idle/tuning issues. Thats not much of a surprise though being that it was "tuned" w/o having the valves adjusted. He prob just needs to start from the beginning & get a dwell on there to adjust the timing, then go through the FI pieces one by one to test each is working correctly. I tried to get the idle to behave by adjusting the air screw and moving the knob on the ECU but those are just band aid fixes to keep him from stalling out and should get him moving for the time being. Bring on Paul Brad Anders' D-Jet writeup!!

Hopefully it is more than just you and me Aaron considering neither of us have a working 914!

What do you think about doing some wrenching before or after the Whiskey Cafe (both?) at this garage? Or are they far apart?

Last but not least...my wounded 914 watched on the side lines. We're all thinking winter "group" project, getting it back on the road.


Ray,
keep us posted on the next wrenching get together. If I can make it down I will bring a fender I cut off a parts car. I also have a rear section that is in poor condition, but you may be able to use part of it for the trunk repair.

I can't make it down for the 1st. I wanted to come wrench and go to the whiskey cafe, but I allready made plans to go to Cape Cod for the weekend. The next time after the 1st I will drive down for sure. So keep up the wrenching and I will see you guys one of these days.

BTW I will check and see if I have any of the front headlight parts that you will need also.

...I'm finding out now...or waiting to hear back Movie Time's schedule. Soprano's started shooting again, so they're actually pretty busy over there....welding rigging on cars....

..which probably wouldn't be bad, we'd just have to let them have priority over space and lift...since it's their place...

I would probably shoot for Sunday morning.
