I parked my 914 up the hill on the grass and covered it with three covers+tarps.

I drilled out my old broken driver seat adjuster, installed a new seat adjuster from 914rubber (very nice) and successfully had a locksmith cut my new key today (although for some reason he was some sort of nut and complained the whole time and even complained about the blank which was genuine porsche...oh well. Greased my seat rails and now I have a workin seat. Supposed to rain tomorrow so no drive time in the near future...

I got one piston off the rod so it's cleaned and has a new set of rings it. The wrist pins gave me a fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Tomorrow may be a couple more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Use a propane torch and warm the piston, pins will then slide out w/ no drama.


I bought a new propane torch today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) since I could not find mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Swapped out my leaking heat exchanger with the repaired unit. So much quieter but now I hear some minor leaks at the muffler mount. Probably just need some new gaskets. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Mark, why the heat shrink on the SS fuel lines?

As for my car? hm, I checked the FedEx tracking number for the metal bits to fix the passenger long area.

Hey Robert, you're back home?

The heat-shrink tubing was recommended to insulate the fuel lines since they share the tunnel with the electrical harness. $3. for a 10mm x 8-foot roll from Harbor Freight sounded like a worthwhile investment.. They also had some heat guns on sale for $10. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blowtorch.gif)

Mark, sounds like a good idea. I want to pick up a set of SS fuel lines. Was just talking to the guy yesterday about it. I'll have to stop by HF for some shrinky dinks. Already have a couple of heat guns.

Oh, and yeah, I'm home. Came home end of september. Have taken all this time off, started back to school. Just accepted a job offer last week. Guess that means the next year and 8 months are going to be busy. Full time work, full time school and a commute back to the OC again.

According to my tracking number, the long parts from RD will be here tomorrow and I believe morph is shipping my carpet kit today.

Hey Mark... just remembered I had an old photobucket account and was looking through some of the albums there. Remember this? lol

Finally put the carpet mats and center console back in. Had pulled the mats a few weeks ago after I left the car out in a major rain storm. Apparently I have a few leaks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

After stripping it down, having it powdercoated semi-gloss black, adding the repainted grills, added my new GT style engine lid. Added only one torsion springy thingamobob so it doesn't whack the targa bar when opened. Me likey.

The parts I ordered yesterday were delivered today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (except for the sway-bar bushings) ...
I'll pick those up from Pelican on Monday


Rubber A arm bushings (enough to do 4 cars), ball joints, sparky plugs & some cone screws for the 'BB' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

... and I know nothing about the picture you posted, Robert (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Drove ~120 miles on "Vic's Magical Mystery Tour" along back roads of east Tennessee.

Line up of all the Porsches at our lunch stop. My 914 and a couple of early 911s were outnumbered 4:1 by the more modern Porsches.

Screen capture from my GoProHD. Overcast day and looking through a dirty windshield = not the greatest image.

I very nice 944 with my 914 showing in the background.
