Well after 10 months, I finally drove my car today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Granted, it was only around the block and I found a couple more things to fix, but it was great to get back into it. I can already tell this new engine is going to be a ton of fun...just the short trip around the block was like driving a different car (which isn't too far from the truth) Unfortunately, my throttle cable is sticking, my driver side rear tire is rubbing bad, I have a new clicking sound in my tranny and my shifter linkage needs some adjustment. Luckily, most of these are easy fixes and I should be back on the road by this weekend! I have many thanks to go around for all the help people gave. Eric Shea - for great calipers, bushings and a bunch of other stuff JRust and computer4kids (Jamie and Mark) for passing on installing the engine:) Racer Chris - for making my fuel lines safe Doug Leggin - for my awesome new Koni sports Bruce Stone - for the pedal cluster, side shifter "stuff", and other random bits A special thanks to Rob Sime (conedodger) for always willing to let me raid his garage to borrow parts that I needed and also deciding to sell his 2.0 Fuchs, sway bar, progressive springs and tons of other stuff I have forgotten. Last but not least, one of my best friends Justin (justinp71)...if it were not for him, I would not only not have a running 914, I wouldn't have a 914 at all! THANKS A LOT EVERYONE!!! Pics to come, but I refuse to post a pic of it in the garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I know! Michael has Western Wheels. Just go to his house now. Bring a couple cheap FoodMax steaks and go in through the side window on the garage... Toss the steaks to the dogs and unbolt a couple bolts.
Michael will never notice. He sees about as well as I do! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Oh geez... I know my kid will leave there with a broken bone now! |
