So I wrote up this whole post and 5 secs before hitting send my computer hard rebooted.. so here we go again:

It's been a long struggle since buying this car in May of 2005. The previous owner was less than honest with me which led me into a loop of issues with the car. After months of toying with carbs, followed by months of building/troubleshooting Megasquirt standalone engine management and other issues I can proudly say that I am the owner of a fully functional Megasquirted 1972 Porsche 914 2.0L!

What a journey it has been. I've been waiting months to create this post, but there was always something wrong with the car. Finally after finishing the front brakes/wheel bearings last weekend and giving it a good wash/polish... it's DONE!

There are still a few odds and ends to clean up, but then again there always are. MS still needs some tuning and for now i'm running fuel only. I'll move over to spark in a few weeks.

So without further delay.. here are PICS taken today and with PICS of the Megasquirt build..

Sunday I hope to autox the "new" car for the first time with MetroNY PCA at Nassau Coloseum. I can't waiT!
