Took the 914 to the car show at Naval Station Newport, RI. That's me and my Dad.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i269.photobucket.com-4499-1341980276.1.jpg)

I also slapped one of my non-working radios (an AM Sapphire in this case) in the dash to make it look better, instead of the gaping hole I've had there for 17 years. I DO have a supposedly working Becker coming my way in the mail though, so hopefully stock-ish tunes soon! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Still need to install some wiring for additional interior lights before we button it up.

Took her for a trip to 7-Eleven for a free Slurpee. I now have 23 miles on her feet after sitting for 10 years.

Sitting here at work on a Saturday contemplating how I'm going to drive the door hinge pins out of the passenger door when I get home so I can finally get the gaps right.

*sigh*

Took off my horn button and repainted it with special paint from Pelican which matches perfectly. Also took off my lug bolts and resprayed them silver. I used a trick I learned on this forum and reinstalled them with a regular plastic shopping bag placed on the bolt before applying the socket. They look great!

Went to a PCA event this morning! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Then on the way home, a very nice elderly man backed into the front of my car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Ollie and i attended a car show, i didn't enter but had many admirers around my car park on the street.
They had a portable Dyno there fixed into a trailer, i was tempted to get my car on it but I had pulled almost 20lbs of boost in 4th on the highway this morning and need to sort out the over boost.
I had it set at 15lbs which is spot on in 2nd and 3rd but the longer pull in 4th the boost jumped waaaay up. Considering a electronic boost controller now or stick a 1 bar spring in the wastegate and forget about it.

Got my car teched for a 3-day DE at Summit Point next Fri-Sun. Adjusted the front wheel bearings (thank you Dave Riley), checked trans fluid while on the inspection lift. Discussed the oil cooler system I recently reconnected.

I actually saw my 914 today for the first time in a few months. Another change in plans re the engine/body/wheel/tire saga. Gonna keep this engine as a moderately hot 2.7 and then start building a balls-out 3.0 RSR type of engine for it later.

Re-keyed the exterior locks to match an original key last used in the mid 70's. The key is almost new (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I had three keys, one worked the ignition, one the rear trunk, and the nice third worked nothing. The interior locks are next.

Well, we spent a long arduous day tuning IDF 40s. A bright shinning sun, coupled with a fresh Pacific Ocean breeze, made it a wonderful day for the task. Doug (mrbubblehead) on the left, Joe (KaptKaos) on the right.

Lots of test-runs with the LM-2 attached.

Attached Image



Doug got Joe's car dialed in really good (note grin)

Attached Image



Joe Bar-B-Q'd up some burgers for lunch, then we moved on to the 'BB'

Attached Image



Even though we had a large array of jets at our disposal, the 'BB' didn't fare as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Getting better, but still running rich. Looks like we'll need to install larger venturis next session (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Thanks for all your help Doug (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Doug, thanks again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Had to run into the office this morning. Took the 914 for the first time in months. I had forgotten how much I love driving this car.

Mark - we will get you squared away.

Yesterday I washed the whole engine bay down with soap and water(engine out) and then used a rag to take all the old grease off the wiring. I installed two new engine bay seals nd then set to work preparing my engine for the re-install. All thats left now is to put the engine back in today, and hook up all the vaccuum hoses!
