These are the things that I've learned since buying my 914. My most recent
lesson (item #1) occurred just last night: 1) Running over a separated Tire tread in the dark will rip off your air dam (DAMN) 1a) I need brighter headlights 2) How to adjust the shift linkage 3) How to R & R a rear axle 4) I don't have enough tools (also damn) 5) The people on this board are full of good advice 6) How to remove the shift fork while misdiagnosing the problem (damn again) 7) How to change a distributor 8) How to replace interior and exterior door latches 9) How to repair rubber so that the car doesn't leak (as much) 10) You can't have enough knowledge (thanks for the CD at Dunkel's Brad) 11) How to remove the bumpers (to install a bike rack) 12) I love my 914 john |

I have learned so much since buying a car, I would have to write a book, I think it does help that I am doing all the work myself, and that it is my first car... I think I have almost touched every bolt (not including the stuff in the engine and trani.. I'll do that with my spare stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )
You learn something every day on this board. Thanks to everyone on the board! You make my life a whole heck of a lot less boring! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Andrew |
