@Cali914 - Harry, that looks GREAT! Can't wait to see this in person. Any idea when it'll be on the road?

The Arduino board is here, I watched Josh assemble the hole thing and test the circuits except for the flap. The motors sound bitchen. Lots of work in front of me but it's all installation and will be very gratifying.

The motors roar. I got an air flow meter, 2 biometric pressure sensors with temperature and humidity. The Arduino board also controls the Gurney Flap It puts the flap in full up during breaking.

Going Digital. If I get everything working it will be posted here first. I think that this thread is responsible for over half of the over 42,000 viewers on my build thread. I almost feel like I am bogarting this thread...

I'm moving stuff back to the car, the wing is in place although I know it has to come back out for cleaning and centering of the servo.

Got #3 on the lift, building a new 2056 (with big valve heads, Elgin cam and twin Webers) for it and going after a bit of decay in the hell hole area. With 4 in the stable I have my work cut out.

Plan is one for each grandchild

Went for a 2 hour rip! Had to try out the new speedo.
It works perfectly up to 160kmh as far as I could tell (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Allegedly of course

Did you had a mph speedo? Or was it a one to one replacement? Mine has a mph and I want to switch to km/h, In Mexico is what we use and mine was a California car…

KPH speedos are out there, but they are kinda rare. All of the Euro 914s had KPH speedos, and they are interchangeable with a 911 mechanical speedo. Or you can send yours off to North Hollywood Speedo, or Palo Alto Speedo and get the gauge face replaced with one in KPH.

Hope that helps.

Got my new taller intakes from CB Performance and installed one of them. This is going to offer about an inch of extra clearance for the new carb linkage. The other side will tell the tale.

Another one of those what the heck is that. Yes like most the stuff I post here.
I really want to post a picture of the car on the ground so as soon as it is I will post it here.
Thank you for your tolerance.

Working on this car today pumps me up about working on this car tomorrow.

Been working on the rear of the car namely sorting tailight leak and fixing the resulting light surface rust as the OP's painters touch up was less that suitable in the trunk,now topcoated after using high zinc primer and POR15 for the worst area's which luckily were little.
Constantly looking @ my rusty muffler that is a bit of a dented mess underneath as came from a 911 but very sound otherwise,when fitted before first start after the engine conversion I give it a rough coat of zinc weld thru primer,rather surprised how long most of it lasted.
Selected Rust-oleum 2000F rated high temp exhaust paint for new coating but need to get all the surface rust off and that's not a quick job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .

After lots of prep work got the muffler clean enough to apply new high temp paint and happy even it is flat silver and not grey because that is all I could buy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .
Reset tail pipe for more even clearance on the rear valance before baking the whole thing @ 150C twice ,will run it up final "cook" as now installed.

I found out the 2 of my cylinders have around 50 psi of compression.
