I had the passenger seat recovered. I also had them add a slot for the 5 point harness sub strap.

Worked on the wing, one side is hung but there is still a lot of details to finish.

Easer than Turbo Charging a 914, every one knows that can't be done.

My '71 started running erratically a couple weeks ago and then would barely start- realized I hadn't changed the fuel filter in a LONG time (hate to guess how long since I really don't drive it regularly enough) so popped in a new filter this morning, taking a break from my '72 911 restoration project.
Started right up... so now it needs a nice long drive in the desert!

(concerning the post just above- my '71 was turbocharged for a few years back in the late 70's- ran a custom system with water-injection and side draft carb a good Porsche mechanic friend of mine designed)

Yes, as Mark said, I was just being facetious.

Did the rear main seal on Kermee ...a bit of overkill on preventing the bit from buggering up the bolt heads but worked great....Attached Image

On Saturday I took my LS1V8 car to a friends Dyno/ tuning shop to find out I have a faulty ECU. Car starts fine however it starves for fuel once started. Tried adjusting and tuning ECU to no avail. I purchased replacement ECU for $80.

Just maybe I can get this one on the road this coming weekend..car is pretty much ready, then off for a respray (Guards Red).

That Cadillac CTS-V model in the background showed up with 490HP to the rear wheels, tuned to 588HP and got to 717HP with ethonol. OMG

Once fixed, I'm only hoping for a reliable 300-350HP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Dizzy is really good, and I previously used the Mallory Unilite, which is good. I highly recommend the 1-2-3; well worth the investment.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And as a bonus, the rotor and cap are replaceable from your flaps...
