what did you do to your 914 today Options

[76-914]

Getting some back fires if I coast in gear after accelerating. If I go to neutral, and coast, no backfires. I am thinking my carbs are leaking a little.

I tightened up all exhaust nuts, cleaned the plugs, and made sure that the plug wires are all secure.

Thoughts?

Sure, ...................................wait for it......................................FI.

Moved the 'BB' to the back driveway because the fuching parking enforcement prick appears to have it in for me for some reason. He tried to have it towed on Monday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

If I wasn't here, they could have gotten away with it, but I had witnesses and surveillance video proving it had not been parked in the same spot for 72 hours.

So yesterday morning, the prick wrote me a ticket for not having a front license plate permanently attached to the front bumper (it was on the dash board).

Does anybody else here think this guy is being a royal dick-wad? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Sounds like one of your neighbors is being pissy and calling the city on you. I had the same thing happen in High School. My car would break down, and I would put it in the driveway. While I was at school, the guy across the street would call the city and tell them there was a derelict vehicle in our driveway, and they would come ticket me.

I got him back. His daughter wrecked her car, and they put it on the street in front of their house. I called the city and told them there was a wrecked vehicle on the street. It was towed to impound while he was at work.

Swapped out the old, well-worn Hella front signal lenses for a new aftermarket set.

Two other of my 'good' neighbors have also been targeted. The parking enforcement a-hole stated that 'a neighbor' has called to report derelict vehicles up to seven times a day. We have a hard time believing that, however if it is true, that amount of calls seems exorbitant and I would think it would raise a red flag at headquarters as to the complainer's mental health or that they're doing it for some other nefarious reasons.

We're still trying to narrow down which other 'neighbor' could be the culprit. It's a small list, as most of us have been living here for a long time.

There are some newbies in a condo complex right across the street. A half-hour ago, another neighbor just let me know that one of those new tenants has been complaining about her for parking behind the garages on street sweeping day to their landlord. (Note, none of the tenants use the garage spaces for parking). Connecting the dots will eventually lead to the real (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)

Disassembled the brake proportioning valve.

Many thanks to Doug (CptTripps), I didn't kill myself. He had a great trick to disassemble it!

Note: There is a very HEAVY spring inside. If you disassemble it wrong, you can injure yourself very easily, or cause some other damage!

Found more broken parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Painting my fuchs. This is the first ones. I think its working out well. Using a pouring technique, similar to the dipping technique that was originally done.

Cleaned polished and waxed. Ready for Hershey. Sorted through some parts.

Don't get too much in the lug holes - it'll mess with your torque settings (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Detailed the teener and entered in a local car show. It was never intended to be a show car, but it was fun being tucked in between two muscle cars and answering the following questions:

1. What is it?
2. Where is the engine?

I had about a 50 mile (mostly highway) drive home in beautiful weather. I took the top off for the first time on a road trip. Listening to Kansas, "The Wall" flying up Rt. 83 - I entered a state of Nirvana. All the work I put into this car was worth it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

It was a great day.

Pulled the old 1.7 and installed the new 2.0

[Black22]

Thanks to JRust for the parts!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Dry washed it!

[Qarl]

I fitted /prepped/trimmed the Engman kit.

1. Drilled out all the holes 1 step with a uni-bit and brushed over lightly with an angle grinder on the backside, since it leaves a little lip.

2. Trimmed the end and the seatbelt mounting bolt holes that weren't quite aligned right and trimmed hear and there to get it nice and flush all over.
