Replaced rear calipers yesterday. What a difference! I almost hit my nose on the steering wheel.
All the venting clearance adjusters were frozen, and only one parking brake lever was working.

Make a mock up of the frame for the rear wing on Carerror. It's to big, I need to make so I can wrap the foam frame in only 20" of foam board. Right now it takes 21 1/4".
 I'll make templets of the foil shape when I fond one that works. |

Finished installing the control arms with new URO bushes and new ball joints. Will find out Tuesday if the squeaking is cured. Very easy job to do and no special tools needed!!!

QUOTE(mrbubblehead @ Dec 17 2011, 10:07 PM) i just wanted to start a thread to see what you guys do day to day on your cars. i'll start, about a month ago, i pulled my engine and trans to put in a new clutch. had the flywheel lightened and resurfaced. but what i didnt know is that i had to shim the little ball that the clutch arm rides on, after a resurfacing. so guess what i did today? yup, pulled the trans and put an extra washer under the ball. you have to goop up both washers to get it to seal because the threaded hole goes all the way thru to the inside of the trans. i also replaced the plastic cup that the ball rides in. the throwout bearing and its little plastic blocks were fine so i buttoned every thing back up. 5 hours total. i think this has been the cheapest repair yet on my car. $2.75 for the little plastic cup. what did you do to your 914 today? hello everyone i have missed chatting with everyone. last year I did not even use my teener. this year i am making up for it. so i have a 74 2.0 914 problem: my emergency brake light continues to flash even when i raise the emergency brake. I got pelican parts diagnosis and possible cure but i don't think i have the same switch because i do not see a little plastic button i can switch towards the master cyclinder. see pictures below. BTW: my switch is rusted a lot. there are 2 varieties pelican points out:1: low pressure when pedal is pushed to floor and reset hen lift off floor (I am NOT seeing that) 2: pressure failure and then remains locked until manually reset. WHERE IS THE BUTTON TO RESET IT? I DO NOT SEE IT? check out the 2 pictures.... any other ideas? thanx Niece Attached thumbnail(s)

Brakes are nothing to fool with. Make sure the car stops before it goes! |

Eric at PMB saved me. In all the world found only 1 BMW E21 ATE front right caliper like mine, on eBay, and it was trash and guy wanted $100 for it!
Eric had the outer/nose half of the caliper from a left front brake (outer/nose half is same on both sides - mine is cracked), and is sending it to me to pair with my good mounting side. I have the rebuild kits from Pelican, so all I have to do now is break the 2 halves, clean my half, and re-assemble with new kit. KUDOS AGAIN, ERIC! YOU DA MAN!

Had a pretty ratty oil pan.. needed an oil change too..
So I pulled the old pan and decided to upgrade the 2.0 Subaru Turbo with the Killer Bee Motorsports oil pick up tube (really beefy) and baffle. Cleaned up the pan, and painted it Ford Blue to give a little color under the car. Also wrapped the up-pipe and some exhaust tube with heat wrap to try to lower the temp under the cylinders a bit. The turbo was not properly venting and causing weird noises due to pressure irregularities. So I installed an atmospheric blow off valve. The PO had a shot totally block off the valve so it was not right to being with. Also installed a COBB 3-port electronic boost controller and plumbed all the vacuum lines. Fresh Motul, factory Subaru filter. So far, it runs very smooth. Accessport Version 3 tune on the horizon, to replace the 2006 Accessport Version 1 tune it runs on currently. Photos were larger than expected so Ill put them in another post....  Attached image(s)
