Today I took her out on her maiden voyage and made it 5 miles before the Bottom end of the motor took a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/post-2-1117899824.gif) ....
Some popping though the carb, some loud banging from the drivers side bank... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Tearing into it tomorrow and will start with a fresh bottom end.

Here's some pics of the infamous tow truck and the 914 that was on it today....   |

So it's been a while, the car got all the bugs worked out, I put about 2000 miles on it, It got new seats, the GT grill installed everything was perfect and running fine until the axle (Drag Racing) incident. The car has gone under the knife, the clutch got rebuilt, it was slipping due to the wrong throw out bearing. I ordered all new brake parts, all new bearings, brake cooling kit, new 250# rear coilovers, welded up the axle snubs and half shafts. I will start the rebuild this weekend and hopefully have it at Cars and Coffee for 4th of july weekend.

Awesome stuff!!!!
I like the treatment to the longs, However I think the strength there lies in the vertical portion of the longs and it could have been stronger if that was reinforced instead of the horizontal portion. Regardless, the cage provides all the strength you need in this instance and that reinforcement is just "extra" Are you going to triangulate the rear sway bar backet to prevent flex? Or are you removing the rear sway? 250 AND a rear sway is quite a bit of rear spring. |
