I had to reread your first post because I didn't read it with an Austrailian accent. Your posts read better with the proper accent, but it would help to throw in a "mate" or "eh" or "croike"...

Most 914ers are good people. Sorry you mixed it up with the other type.

Yeah saw that thread. It sparked me to dig deeper into him.
Yes late night emails are his flavor. The death in the family never happened.
But there is claim to a sick sister. If that is the case I feel for her and the family. But to be honest, I'll use a Ed Rooney quote and ask for the corpse to be shown to me before I believe it.
Emails came at 1am 3am and 5am from him. I did ask how much he had to drink and the reply was that I was a pill popper. It's damn comical. I'm
A bit over it really. I commented and asked is the economy that fu*#ed up that you new to rip others off. Damned if that did not fire him up. It was a bit low I must admit, but he really is a cock head and he keeps flowing with excuses on why the items were not sent until I contacted PayPal.
Bit sick of the wankers that can't organize a bang in a brothel and expect to run a home business. You seen his latest business??

Rant over until I get wound up again. So see you all in 6 hours
Bore holes in a 2x4......charge x00.00 per. Nice game.

So where are the pics of the R ? The wacey wed R is in semi retirement. It's getting the engine steroid injection slowly. Bigger turbo and Intercooler and associated gear plus ECU. They estimate 400hp at the crank.
I'll take a pic of it. It's an estate. Was a one owner car. Like all R's that are red the paint has chalked. Needs a polish. I've got to put it back in the carport this weekend, so I'll take a pic then.
I slowly buy stuff as it come up for sale. So far IPD has taken $3k of my $$$ for go bits.
I have lots of boxes of stuff sitting ready to go. It's the next project after the Blue 914 gets finished.
Can't wait. I miss the growl of the 5 cylinder and the grin I get as I destroy rice burners in there honda's

Does this guy still live in San Antonio?
Maybe he needs a girlfriend? 
That is a brilliant idea.
I live in San Antonio when I'm not stalking Dave. I have never heard of this guy before and I am very active in the local PCA and try to dabble in the 914 crowd. It's just surprising I haven't heard of him.

If you're still out your $500 would you like someone to go over and talk to him? Politely of course.
you would think he could afford to repair the dent on his 914 with all your guys $$$$. 
Steve, here's a little brake porn for ya. These Alfa calipers were rebuilt and polished up by Eric Shea of PMB.

Ha ha. No. I don't resort to those measures. I'd fly over and do it myself.

That 914 is my 1st one I bought. Was painted with a brush and house paint. The PO really was a spud cake !!!!
Ohhh it's getting stripped back and primed and sold soon. I dont 4, 914's. Lol
Funny how people live my "R"
Mate had a black T5R when they 1st came out. I fell in love. Since then I always wanted one.
When I saw this Red "R" I had to have it.
Then the fun started. Spending way to much to get the 175kW up to 300kW +
Why??? Because I can and in Australia people don't even look at Volvo's.

How much weight savings compared to the stock calipers.
What is the ballpark price for a set? (need four, but ebrake does not need to work - can you use four fronts?)
Do you have to change rotors?

Go to the PMB site and read up on these.
It's probably been said 100 times already, but if you need anything dealing with brakes Eric is the man.
Yeah, I know. Eric is great to work with.
I just bought rebuild kits from him and he helped me with questions throughout the re-build.
I also recommend him for anything brake related.
I just didnt recall seeing those calipers last time I perused his catalog.

No core charge for these. I have a pair waiting on my GT build.
Update
He refuses to answer my emails.
PayPal won't refund me as he gave them a tracking number that I've use to track the parcel and it's classed as a letter on the USPS tracking.
I never received anything from the low life bucktard.
Has made my 914 experience sour at the moment and the love is not there.
So I'm just putting my cars on hold and fixing up my Kombi for now.
Had a big trip in my Amarok and that has given me the outback travel bug. So much to see. Mmmm I think summer will spark my desire to finish the 914.
Till then I'll dream of warm weather and Kombi love.

Hey Steve, I'm a little late to this thread but for the record, I've never thought Aussie's were slow or anything like that. I don't think people here in America think that at all. I've never heard anyone say anything negative about you folks down under. I believe most people there think you guys are a lot like us except there are a lot less of you!
When you say Kombi, are you referring to a VW Bus? I have a 70' Westfalia Tin Top that unfortunately has been neglected ever since I bought my 914 last year. Hopefully I can finish building the stroker motor that I have all prepped over the winter.
Like everyone else, I suggest you get in touch with Eric at PMB for your brake needs. Anyhow, good luck with your projects.
