I love the flairs. They are very unique!
They are sweet looking and unique! I love them! 
And the green and grey 914 above is freaking sweet! I love the color scheme!
The first time I saw those flares I was in awe. They look very, very sweet on a 914. The lines are really good.
It's a well sorted 914.
Congrats on the purchase!
Now enjoy and drive!

Dan: I know right! That 914 is gorgeous.
Vysoc: Thanks. I am enjoying the car so much. I am happy for you about getting your car running and drivable! That is so cool! Must feel great to be able to drive after all the hard work you have done.

We definitely need to have an OK get together!
Congratulations on the car! That is one sweet ride! Norman is my home town, but have transplanted to the east coast for a number of years now. One of the things I miss are the cloverleafs all up and down I-35, since those were my playgrounds back in the day..... I'll get my teener back there some day
Sorry to those that feel they may have missed out on this. It's mostly my fault . James is my brother in laww after all 
James, take the bumpers off the car and scrub the rubber really well and then use McGuires "back to black" on them. They should look like new once you've done that
.I really hope Tierra and I are able to come out mid July. We shall see

.Well Jon I just want to thank you for hooking me up!!!! After all I am your brother in law.
I will have to try that out! Where would I get that stuff at? Auto zone or something on online? I would love for you guys to visit! That would be awesome!
James, you should be able to pick that stuff up at the local auto parts store.

Works for me - we should be back from vacation by then.
So today I was able to make some time to swap out the momo short shifter for the Renn shifter. I will say one thing: it made a huge difference! It shifted so smoothly and easily. It was awesome! I am going to enjoy driving this car even more now that it is in there!
Chris: Thanks. I will look a little harder to see if it is in there. I will let you know when I recieve the package
Sounds great Chad!

Cool James! Glad the Renn shifter went in easily. That makes a world of differance.

Lol...I didn't expect to see this thread back towards the front pages. Right now I am looking at oil coolers for my car. Researching them, finding out prices so I can start to put money aside for it, and mounting set ups I could do. I get a bit freaked out when I see the temp get close to 250 degrees F if I drive it for a long time with out a good long break.
Here are some more pics that I just took. A few with the car in the storage shed I rent behind my apartments! It may be a little tight but it keeps my car dry, out of the sun, and away from other people's cars.

The club is theonepercent.net. I joined them while I was in the desert earlier this year. Thanks. I am really happy to have a place to keep my car dry and clean.
Now that my 914 is at my new home and now running I cleaned her up for some pics.
Put the orange headlight covers and eyebrows on.
