what did you do to your 914 today Options

[JawjaPorsche]

Installed rear suspension of the 71 after replacement of suspension console. Not 100% finish but I have to move the car before I get a 2nd notice from city complain because someone from the neighbor did complain why there is a non working car along my driveway.

So there you go inside the garage and still need to sort more junk inside our garage to be able to park my 75 also.

Don't you hate snooty neighbors! Don't they realize sometimes our 914's don't run!

Nice looking teeners! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Sounds like my neighbors. We get a complaint from the city a couple times a year. The last one was beside they said my 2 914's and my '70 Westy Tin Top were not registered. The city came out and I showed them all the paperwork was in order, up to date, fee's paid and they were all insured. They are parked behind a 7' gate and barely visible from the street! I wonder what the next complaint those hippies will have!

Thanks for your comment on the teeners!
Several houses in my neighbor has 1 to 3 cars like junk or dirty parked at their driveway and almost along the walkway and dirty/dusty. But someone noticed mine although it is usually clean and it was only there for less than 6 months. It is on a jack stand but all the way inside my driveway and about 1 1/2 car away from walkway. Well maybe they only noticed mine because it is a 914 and they want to see it running.

Was it asking for sizes or injector dead times? big difference.
Im not super familiar with megasquirt or the tuner suite that comes with it.

It's asking for injector flow, actually. Funny, it accepted the entry for the change from 350 cu in to 3200 CC (I know that's not exact, but it hasn't been "burned" to the computer's actual memory) and now has an entry of 0.0 for fuel flow. I guess it will allow that even though I didn't save it that way but again not "burned" to computer's memory. The tuner studio suite uses the term "burn", by the way.

I've got lots more reading up to do. There are good help files to read. Gotta make time for that. There is value (in ms) for injector dead time, but that's calculated apparently from the required fuel window apparently, which is where it asked for engine displacement, number of cylinders, injector flow, and AFR.

Interesting stuff, just trying to figure out more about how the program works and controls the engine! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

New turbo tie rods and lower ball joint. This is the only picture I took during the process.


Edit: Pic Fixed

I see you have "the tool" for this project.

How long did it take you?

That is my next project and wanna get it done before the WCR.

It was a nightmare!!! Took me almost 10 hours, but only because things wouldn't come apart. If things go smooth then it would be an easy thing to tackle, but everything was against me that day. Hope your car plays nice when you do it.

Edit: The toe plates George let me borrow were a life saver. Still have a little tweeking to do, but drives straight, even better than before.

Mounted and balanced some new Kumho 195/65-15s on a set of ATS Classics. The wheels need cleaned up - there's silver paint on them that's flaking off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I'll get 'em on the 'BB' next week - ready for the RT-66 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Drove it to Sam Ash in Cerritos.

[iamchappy]

Topped up the transmission with oil (it was really low (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ) i had to add almost a bottle, and put in a new firewall shift rod bushing.

Drove it to Sam Ash in Cerritos.

Even compared to the Fit, look how small it is.

[euro911]

Yeah, and we lower them to the ground even further (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

by going to smaller diameter Fuchs, but then we think the oil temp is being affected, so we consider changing back to larger diameter wheels like this.

Outta town 3,000 miles away from the 914. So I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) and watched some NCAA BB. But I did log into 914world.com and post. Does that count?

[falcor75]

Broke the special stepped screw on the front targa latch, anyone got a spare?
Gues the resistance from the new seals was a bit too much for it.

[eyesright]

The clutch pedal started to squeak so I figured it was time to re-bush with a bronze kit. This is a '76 and I have done this twice before on a '70 and a '72. Both of those pedal clusters had really worn out plastic bushings and needed it badly.



Anyway, so I got after it. Pulled the carpet, the acc pedal, the pedal board, the pan/MC cover or whatever its called, loosened the MC nuts, then the pedal cluster nuts,...Its hard to see the cable connections and you always forget how they are connected if you haven't done this in a couple of years but,... head under the dash, flashlight, a bit of the Braille system and I got the cables loose and the cluster out. Next time I think I'll remove the steering wheel first and this is onetime when you realize the early E brake lever was pure genius. My gut is still sore!

But here it is on the bench. A real pro would have another assembly already prepared and just swap it out but, noooo.....



Well the plastic bushings didn't look bad after all and could have easily lasted another couple of decades maybe? But anyway something was squeaking and its all apart now so press on to the finish....

[eyesright]

So, after clean up and fresh paint and assembly with new bushings,....ooops, then take it apart again to put the brake lever in the right position,...there much better, thenooops, take it apart again to put the clutch pedal in the right orientation so that I don't have to cut a large hole in the floor for the clutch pedal...Then back under the steering wheel, then under the front pan, then under the steering wheel again with the E brake lever in my gut, ...au krappe... then out to get more tools that I forgot then back in/under....




And, ...well,... it looks pretty good after its all over and doesn't squeak any more.

What about the rust under your assembly? While it was out would be the best time to make sure your feet don't end up Flintstone style! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

[DRPHIL914]

Drove over to hhi cars and coffee today. But I was not the only 914 ....here is a hint.....
