Okay so here is my teaser! I've always wanted a 914-6. I finally took the plunge & bought one. Most of you are probably thinking it is a v6 or some crazy thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . You've got a week to just sit there & wonder

Okay so the while I was in there bug is kicking in. During the 5lug swap I decided to get some new front rotors. Which had me order new pads. After installing the rotors & going to do the pads. My calipers looked like they needed a rebuild. So they are packed & will be on there way to PMB on monday. Luckily he has some cores allready so mine will also shipping to me on monday. Along with some speed bleeders for all 4 corners ( i love those things (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) ). My original plan was to get the supension done & on the road. Then tackle a few other things. That has changed too
Pulling my CV's to repack both ends. Next is the tranny coming out for it's replacement 901 with a cableshift & an "h" gear for 5th (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . My headers are coming off for some work. Had an exhaust leak causing a backfire. Which they are so tight to my engine bar I can't just pull them off. I'll need to actually drop the motor to get them off. Well I may as well. I could just pop the motor off the mount an inch to get them. At that point it's easier to just drop the whole thing. Which leads me to cleaning up the motor & checking for leaks. along with customizing some engine tin. With only a month to go until RRC I am pushing things a bit. What else is new. Wouldn't be to bad if I didn't just have saturdays to get things done. I also want to add some type of remote oil cooler. I'm a little worried about the heat on the trip. I'd feel a little better with a bigger oil cooler. |
