QUOTE(ConeDodger @ Apr 14 2014, 11:24 AM)  But now for the most important question of all. Mark, will my Check Engine light still work? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I like that. Did you make that from a 914 "Fasten Seat Belt" light? I have one of your name tags so I wondered. If so do tell and I want one. |

The making of the Check Engine light is outlined a few pages back. It's easy to do, just follow the directions on page 14. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyGZtNz14OA Things I notice. First of all, the starter sounds like a hammer. I suppose that's because it is inside and the sound is echoing off the walls in the McShop. Remember, this is either a late prototype or an early production of McMark's reproduction 6 mount. The engine isn't under load in the video but from what I can see, there isn't any 'torque twist' going on. Some of the Patrick Motorsports criticism of the stock mount which this is very much like, is that it creates shifting problems with the torque twist. We shall see. Looks good in that video though!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Jeff Yea I agree, my new 3.2 is a blast! I have the cammed/carbed version, but however you get that amount of power in a 914 is a fun ride... Its a totally different hp profile in the cammed/carbed version, its like a turbo kicks in at 3500rpms (still has decent torq in low rpms too). I used to have a quick six mount and it didn't flex at all. I have one of the RJ mounts now and it flexs some, but doesn't give it shifting problems... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Ok, so how did I spend my day? First of all, after some discussion with McMark, it was decided that I would ride down on my motorcycle to pick up the car. Tim from Mark's shop will be driving up in the shop truck with his 914 on the shop trailer and maybe my motorcycle if they can figure how to load both on the trailer.
The drive down on the motorcycle was long and hot. 212 miles from my house with a stop at DMV to get new tabs for the 914. Half hour wait and I had them in hand and was on my way. I arrived at Original Customs pretty much beat to heck and after some adjustments to the lights on the car, I was on my way back for the return trip. It was hecka hot and I was doing this with the top down. I only had the one CD that has been in the car for probably a year now so I listened to Tom Petty the whole way, over and over... Good thing I like Tom Petty. About the engine; This was amazing! Torque everywhere. I climbed from sea level at McMark's shop to 7226' at Donner Pass without a single complaint. Most of it in 5th gear. The real fun is found in entrance ramps though... Pulls like a freight train!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) I saw one CHP officer on a bike at a gas station and he told me he'd 'give me 15 over' to have a little fun but to 'be safe.' Ok, hell ya! She needs a good bath which she will get tomorrow and then up to WCR 2014 Teeners at Tahoe II for the opening festivities!

I honestly had my doubts that we were going to make it in time, but it all worked out. WHEW! I'm ready for some time inside a 914 instead of underneath them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
See ya tomorrow! |
