Had a busy MLK day off work- finally had time to put the new tuna can deep deep sump on, the new replacement taco plate and vdo oil temp sensor. After that changed the oil and filter. Took it for a drive , came home and put new lug nuts on and one of the fuchs I painted a while back.
Realized that my tag was not up to date - I paid the tax and the dmv is supposed to send the new tag in the mail. That was a month ago and it still hasn't come- tag date was last month so now I really need to get that tag updated, should not be driving outside the neighborhood with out that.

Well they can't say I don't know my place on the track for the upcoming DE/Time Trials this weekend. I noticed when I was putting on the assigned numbers that the 914 was close to the color blue as a particular flag that I will likely be seeing all weekend haha.

So I threw a yellow stripe on it so people will know it is the official "pas-car" hahaha

Blue Flag with a Yellow Stripe

I received a package in the mail from France today. It is a NOS MoMo steering wheel from 1991. I switch up my steering wheels on my car once in a while to mix it up a bit. I either run stock or a 350mm Prototipo but sure am excited to try out this 370mm wheel that has just the slightest dish to it. It was reasonably priced considering some of the earlier flat Prototipos can get into the thousands. Pictures of it on the car to follow once I get it mounted.

Installed the new wheel. About the exact same visability as the stock wheel. I am happy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I guess that wheel is no longer NOS now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

Made a lot of progress today. Swapped out the front pads and dreaded rear pads, while getting the brakes all dialed in. Found and picked up the rear bumper tow hook, got everything set up and tested for flat towing of the car. Pulled the seats and swapped out the harnesses for new ones, got the stuff up for the numbers that will be issued this week. This time next week she will be on the he track for DE and Time Trials with the PCA at Chuckwalla. Raceway! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)



You may wish to consult the rulebook for your local PCA regarding those belts. While they look fine in terms of attachment, our tech requires any car with harnesses must have them installed with a true racing seat where they pass through it. On a 914, they might still work since the headrest is so narrow. But wouldn't want you to get all the way there and have to pack up because it doesn't pass tech. Have fun!

Right front wheel well was looking a little tired after 42 years so I freshen it up a little bit with some rattle can paint.

When I bought my teener new, I had to be firm when my salesman tired to sell me the undercoating option. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Yea that was one of hence things I was concerned about but I got the car pre-teched locally and since the performance numbers are so low they just see it as a safety upgrade better then stock, also the TT and DE I'm doing is much like a stock class so it was good to go. Thanks for the heads up!

Wow, two heater fans? I've not seen that before. Does anyone know if the late plastic bodied heater fans are better than the early metal bodied fans? Is one more effective than the other?

Yeah, I've thought about installing a second fan as well. I actually have three fans (for my two cars) now, courtesy of grump (Bill) and another one I bought here. Pelican has an article by a guy that did it. It's not terribly detailed, but at least tells you it can be done: Second Blower Fan.

The other day I realized I wasn't getting any heat, meager or not, out of my driver side vents. Pulled off the heater flapper and realized it wasn't opening properly. That helped a lot.

I have two early style and one of the late style. Not sure if early or later is more effective. I think it certainly matters what kind of shape the fan is in, and they are all getting older and complain louder when they work now. Like me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
