Today was the day I had been waiting for ........

Today was the day I would get to preview Neo914-6 before the world debut at SEMA.

I went to meet Feilx in the morning at registration.

We spent the next six hours in line.

(we had a great opportunity to

)

I was roaming the stagnant registration line looking for the teener -

I came around a corner and stopped dead in my tracks at this sight -

....... and the highlight of my day.......

I actually got to help do something productive in the preparation of Neo914-6.

Felix mentioned that he had not yet found someone to install the sponsors windshield banner.
I gleefully shouted "I know how to do that!"

So I then set about the task of adding the banner, while the car was on a moving trailer.

I left Felix to complete registration and I was off to work.

Much to my delight Rob and Robin Watson from Florida (watsonrx13) stopped by my bar.

We are meeting Tuesday for lunch at Margaritaville.

Everyone is invited to join us. I will post the time when it is confirmed.
*(don't forget dinner on Thurs at Hooters on West Sahara. 7 o'clock PM)

They gave me this great hat.

There is now a West Coast Chapter of the Tampa Bay 914 Club.
*(thanks to Felix for the pass to the show)

Sorry folks, that's all the pictures for today.

The SEMA show does not officially start until Tuedsay.

Tomorrow I plan to hook up with Ed from Tampa (fat73).
He just rolled into town in his bitchin' ride from a killer road trip.

Can anyone tell me about the turn signal buckets? Felix?
They are very cool, did you make them, who did? Do you plan to put the lens covers on, or leave them uncovered? I really like them, would like to see them on during the night, any pics?

Search for the NEO-914 CONCEPT thread, he goes over all of this in pretty good detail. I think there might even be another thread devoted specifically to the projection headlights. I'll be there tomorrow and be sure to get plenty of shots! LOOKS AMAZING FELIX!

Its my fault the lenses aren't on there

They will be soon though, just not in time for the show. A die was made for injection molding of the lenses. They are crystal clear acrylic, non-fluted lenses made specifically for this application. The first batch of lenses came out poorly, as the die needs a higher level of polish. So right now its being polished and hopefully Felix will have a set of lenses very soon.

This work is being done 6000 miles away, and with it, lots of delays.

the car looks amazing...i cant wait to see some detailed overall shots...whats with the spare on the back?

The car is on Muellers trailer.. and the trailer isnt wide enough for anything larger than a 10inch wheel/tire combo.

I have used that trailer a few times.

Scary part.. a replica of my stolen trailer is in a pic above this with a S2000 on it. Same trailer..LOL

I absolutely love the HID you guys did. If I didn't have slant nose fenders this is the first thing I would have done to my car.

Can't wait to see more pictures of it.

The NEO 914 looks good. I really like the lights. The detail on the gas cap is nice, but I don't care for the gas cap breaking up the smooth lines of the hood. Just my personal preference. I"m guessing it's a tip of the hat to the GT's? To me it looks out of place on a car that's supposed to be a modernized version. It is a nice gas cap though.

Today was another fantastic 914 day.

I got to meet fat73 (Ed from Tampa) and see his incredible car.
We hooked up at Renegade Hybrid's open house.
(Scott says to stop by anytime this week if you are in town for SEMA)
Meeting Ed for the first time was like it has been with so many other non-club members....
It is like being reunited with an old friend. The exchange is comfortable.
The conversation flows and could go on for hours - even without talking about teeners.

I really liked his car.

neo914-6

Oct 31 2006, 01:20 PM

Hello all,

found a computer! Thanks for the comments, neo914 is placed in a great location in front outside the registration tent so anyone in LV can come see it w/o a pass.

It's freakin WILD here, anything you can imaging on 4 wheels! I'm getting great comments from ex-914 and 914-6 owners as well as Porschephiles.

I had to unload the car in the dark myself after John left but managed to get some help pushing it into place. I have big time incentive to get the car running since Muellers trailer ramps are killing my back!

It fits my 11's with 1/2" to spare on each side but the narrow spare makes it easier.

Hope John and others take lots of pics, I still don't have a digital camera.

Robin and I had lunch with John, Felix and Ed at Margaritaville. It was great meeting Felix, especially after seeing his car at SEMA. It was funny that it took me flying and Ed driving to finally meet in LV. We tried to meet at the last TBB but Ed was busy working on his car to get it ready for the show.

Here's a pic of everyone (Robin was taking the pic). Left front - John, left back - Felix, Right front - myself, right back - Ed....
