So as the winter is here and we are getting ready for this new season of 914 fun, more importantly autocross, what have you got done so far.
Well, today was a busy work day for me but I was able to get a little done for my car. Mind you I did al of this in my suit. Took the studs out of the old hubs and put them in the new. Pressed the new hubs into my new trailing arms. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Took apart two axles to get the shafts ready to be machined and put them into the parts washer.

Schweet!
I built a new computer this week. Been waiting a couple of years to get this done. My desktop was the slowest box in the hose. My phone had more processing power than the old unit. I wish I'd done it sooner. Built a makeshift router table a couple of weeks ago to finish a coffee table update I've had planned. Almost have the all of the right parts to make a decent working exhaust for my blast cabinet so I can get back to work on restoring /6 parts one of these days. |

Cool Gint, I would love to see some pics of all that stuff. Sounds like you are doing some cool projects.
Thanks Eric, I figure it is about time I get all that purty stuff you sent me on the car. I'll be sure to take pictures when I put the S calipers and all on the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Do I need to keep those dust shields? Do they really do anything? Just curious. Hey Eric, you said I need a spacer or something to run these Ms... what do I need? I know I need longer bolts but how much longer? I forget. |

Let me know how the new brakes turn out, my current rear brakes are the same as your old ones, always thought about upgrading...
I've been doing body work lately, removed the side markers and now taking care of door dings, plan to go in for paint early march. I'm also going to be installing the GT chassis stiffening kit and the outer long re-enforcement kit for this up coming a/x season... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I am currently pulling parts. Drivetrain comes out Saturday morning if all goes well. I am on some time constraints as my girls have bball starting at 12. So I'll be there & pretty much no time the rest of the day. I deliver the creamsicle for paint on Wednesday night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . So if I don't finish saturday it will mean monday & tuesday night after work to finish. Either way I am stoked to get the LE on it's way. Seems like I've been waiting for years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
He will have it a good 6-8 weeks. Retired guy that work 2 days a week. The nice thing is I'll have alot more space in the garage to work on the 914-8 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) . Of course my car funds are going into the creamsicle so won't be doing anything that costs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Theres no slumping economy in the teener world, at least with you guys.
I did the rear V-caliper upgrade with vented rotors in teh rear, still waiting for the roads to clear up to bed in the pads. Last weekend I did the steering shaft bearing, boy what a difference, still haven't taken it out for a spin. Did a 200 watt Blaupunt Booster hidden in the center consol so now I can hear the tunes over my engine, If needed, Still haven't driven her. added a fuel regulator with gauge so now I won't run so rich. Oh yea, also made a alum schroud to get more air flow thru the radiator and get the fans off the radiator surface, Added front wheel spacers to fill out the wheel wells better. Did I mention relocating The Fuel Pump. Here aer a few picts for the record, I'll show more later. |

I laid it out and cut the holes, took it back to the HVAC shop and had them bend it up on the brake, $15 bucks. I checked with JEGS and Summit, they had some close but for $100.00+ shipping I was better off making my own. Good thing I paid attention in metal shop in jr high. |
