Pics Mark...please.....pics.....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) About 50 miles of near perfect driving yesterday......running so well I cannot imagine it with a D-jet having anywhere near 3/4 the power......way more than I ever imagined a little 2.0 could provide.......especially with the wrong cam (original) in it......

Yesterday, I continued to put all of the intake/FI components back on the 914. As usual, I THOUGHT I had everything I needed to at least get her running. So after getting the plenum and a few new hoses back on, I put the driver's side runner on. Then I started the passenger's side, and upon opening the gasket package, found it was cracked in half. Doh!

Long story short, after spending roughly 2.5 hours driving back and forth to Auto Atlanta, I was able to get the other runner finished. So, if everything goes without any hiccups, I should get the new fuel injectors, throttle body, and airbox on today, and get her fired up.

Quick shout out to Albert at Auto Atlanta for supplying me with a new gasket so I didn't have to order one. I did not buy the cracked gasket from them, so it wasn't their issue.

Installed the new Lucas injectors, throttle body, airbox, and a few hoses. Still have some blocked off valves that I will have to sort out later, but that's a project for a different day. Good News....it's running pretty smoothly at a consistent 1100 rpm idle.
This intake/fuel injection refresh is probably remedial to most of you, but to a village idiot like me, it was real progress...especially since it cranked right up and is idling well.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Nice job. That's the best way to learn about these cars and systems like D-Jet. Enjoy.

Moving at a good pace, Craig. Did you install that 'new' exhaust system? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Took out the seats, backpad, and center console today, and installed a new throttle cable. I got the pedal hooked up, but didn't have time to put the pedal board back or connect to the throttle. Hopefully, I'll get that done in the next day or so, and then go driving!

... @Beatnavy ..Rob...thanks for the encouragement...and you're right, every time I start working on another small project, I learn 5 other things. I also appreciate your advice/help...and the help of many others here whose knowledge and advice have been invaluable.

...and @euro911 ... Mark, thanks to you as well. The exhaust will go on in a few weeks, I've got to get her driving first... then I'll slap it on there....I'm thinking it's gonna sound just like a Scart. By the way, your place is looking great!

Tried a different approach to cable shifter console. Kind of like where it is going.

Painted / Jammed the rear trunk lid for the 74 yesterday, then I drove the car today, from Valley Center to San Marcos (about 25 miles), to the shop for an oil change and possible clutch cable replacement.
It was a nice, back road drive with lots of good cornering.

Nice day for a drive so decided to go to a local body shop to get an estimate on fixing the various nicks, rust spots, and paint blemishes on my 914 in preparation for a vinyl wrap.

Drive there was all good. Guy took notes and will email me the estimate.

I started the car and pulled out onto the road and then noticed the Alternator light was on.
As I drove the mile or so to a fellow 914ers, I notice the following:
  • Tach is not reading correctly - it shows 30-35% of actual engine speed
  • Voltmeter not working

At my friend's place I find fuse #8 (or is it #9?) is blown so I swapped it out with a good one from the Low Beams. As soon as I turned the key... BAM. Blown fuse.

So I headed back home and troubleshooting that. Found some posts with similar issues so maybe I'll get it figured out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Installed a new to me MOMO steering wheel. This is my 5th and hopefully last (vintage MOMO wheel) that I have mounted on a quick disconnect mount to make it a quick swap out for the steering wheels. This one is big at 380mm with a very large grip and is the only MOMO Cavallino steering wheel that I have seen with the Porsche Classic logo embossed into it. It was manufactured 8 - 1988.
