The resonator tail pipe surprisingly made a difference it really took the edge off of the noise.

I am going to make a Zork tube that I can swap out when I go to shake up the pinky boys at the coffee shop.

I will be bringing the engine to the shop, there going to fix all of the leaks, There wont be much action on this thread for awhile so I will resurrect it when there is, hopefully in a few months. With my not having to work on the car in my free time I will get back to the house remodeling and start painting again...

Rick we will probably get our cars on the road at the same time after all.

I just finished off my trunks today, as much as i liked the trunks without carpet i felt the carpet would help protect them, and since this is a street car and i have everything else finished off luxuriously, this was the last thing to do.

I had four sets of carpets to pick from, this was the heaviest set and had the plastic backing on the rear instead of the foam. I ran them through the washing machine a few times and they cleaned up like new. I cut the rear in half to shape around the intercooler, battery and piping. I used velcro to seam them back together. In the front i repainted the bottom of the masonite board with truck bed liner before restapling the carpet back to it.

See you soon at the late night drinking thread...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

No I haven't brought the engine it yet, they haven't been able to spare 20 minutes for me to bring it in for them to look at. I dont get it....

I used to do some work for Digigraphics years ago. Paul let me know if you ever need my help or have questions.

The car has been sitting for awhile, i was in Florida last week I got to spend a few days with Qarl, his poor car is frozen in time.

I will try to get the car in to them next week, then i will drop the engine off and wait and see if they get to it within the next couple of years.

Cap'n Krusty, the Pelican turbo guys came up with the air filter idea when the
Fabspeeds were selling for around 300.00 RarlyL8 swears by them.

These only cost 6 bucks to replace and they work on big 4 barrels, but I will keep
your suggestion in the back of my mind and check it out.

Can anyone tell me where I can get the attachments to use my dewalt tools as my buffer?

Where to start. When I was on Page 3 watching Dave Buffing, I thought by page 13 I would be seeing the Holy Grail of 914's and its exploits. So sorry for the (insert Shrek's voice) "hey,... where can I get the detailing shit for my car that Dave is using?" question, without first having acknowledged what a masterpiece you have built. I grew up in an environment that was not very mechanical, but I have resigned myself to recreating my 76 914 from scratch and by my hand. So, you are inspiring, your car is a testament to what a 914 can become................where can I get the detailing shit for my car that Dave is using, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) when it looks as good as yours.

Dave uses mostly 3m products, he has switched over to foam pads for the most part but still uses a wool or cotten for heavier compounds sometimes.

Any bodyshop supply store should have what your looking for. Try here

Just to make everyone happy maybe i will take it for a spin in the slush and the salty slop. The oil leaks are minimal nothing a can of brake cleaner couldn't clean up...


Or I could wait till Spring!

The only reason i haven't taken it out is it's not broken in yet I would hate to have to rescuff the cylinders and re ring it if it has to come apart.
