I bought a set of early bumpers and then rushed home to rip off the BUBs

Good job. Though I know some people love the BUBs, I really believe the early bumpers look so much better on our cars. If I had a '75-'76 that would be one of my first modifications. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Talking of which...

Collected my car from friends paint and body shop having removed US-spec side marker lights and ugly 1975 US bumpers. Replaced them with glassfibre 'earlies', saving around 75 pounds in weight. Looks so much better…

I purchased 4 standard injectors from Oreillys, pulled my #3 (the leaking one) and then noticed the Standard injector has a factory fitted hose that elbows and is two short to reach the metal fuel lines. Would adding a coupler to each line and make longer lines harm performance?

I'd cut the supplied elbows off and make up new hoses to the required length. Carefully cut through the metal bezels just enough so that you can pry them off of the injectors. Use good quality hose - 30-R9 or equivalent fuel injection hose.

Took the 914 to a big start of year classic event at Bicester, Oxfordshire (UK...) yesterday - 485-mile roundtrip in the day. Was one of only three 914s there. Attracted plenty of comment and lots of photos taken. I think I love this car as much as I did the 914/6 I use to own...

"Winterized" my SoCal 914 by putting the rain tray back on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

So I could give it a once every couple years wash:
