How about Scott from NH, and his conversion with an engine bay radiator? He drove all the way to California and back in that car.
Actually that Scott was from one of the mid Atlantic states.. Maryland maybe? ..had the girlfriend that got nicknamed "Skittles" at WCC '05? Last I heard there were people looking to talk to him about some deal that involved a widow and firearms..

He's around. This is his car at Hershey this past April.
John has been having some health issues and hasn’t been around for a while.. Hopefully he gets some good news in the next few days.....
Wishing John the best. A most generous and supportive guy.

Otmar is occasionally active on FB. No more 914 (there's another guy on FB that has the CA POP E, still electric, now) but still involved in electric car and fabrication projects.
Miles was active on FB, but he ... didn't seem too stable. He stopped posting something like a year or two ago. No idea what happened to him.

I think there are lessons here. I recall Dave rebuilt his motor 2x due to suspected fuel washing. And he bumped displacement to what was it...2.4L?
Aftermarket FI is NOT always plug in play, there is a price to pay.

Dave hunt built his engine 3 times I think. 2270. Final time he shipped the components to R.A.T., flew back and did the build there. A prime issue was he had never decked the case and the cyls sat askew. No much, but enough. Last activity was Feb 27th. Hi Dave!
