I have been gone for a few years. Transferred back and forth, ATL-OKC-ATL.
4 years in OKC, then a year on the road and then a year off working on fixing up the old homestead ,selling and then buying all over again. Covid shut us in and somewhere along the line I gathered up my car, put back in my garage and stared at it for awhile. Then brillance struck!!!! ?????? %^^&&$%^$^%^&% Pull out the Suby turbo and start over!! Of course... Brillant. Exorcised the ghosts, fresh plan, new parts, Blank slate. Found a 4.8l truck motor cheap and rebuilt and customized for 914. Found a boxster 6 speed and adapter set up here. ValcoOscar, Thank you. BigKat filled in the blanks with 930 axles.. We have the tech, we can reebuild!!!! greg d914 |

Finally got the car moving... Took it off to tuning.. 325 at rear wheels..
Now going through and fixing all the ugh ohs that I find from 18 years of building and various levels of skills. On my third pressure switch for brake lights!!! finally figured out how to test before new one goes in. Bunch of little electrical issues.. I pulled a bunch of the looming re-doing things. Of course with the hand looming is a time consuming process! Also nut and bolting make sure everything is tight and out of the way. Had to replace the boxster tranny, issues going into reverse. We are going to see what we might be able to do to fix???? Now thats it on the ground after all these years I need a hard hat!! I keep running my head into the open hood!! Got to take it around the block a few times!! lots of fun. |
