I fixed my broken vacuum line to my boost solenoid. It was causing a 30psi boost spike. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Fixed my no-start issue. Determined I had no fire/spark so cleaned tranny ground strap, cleaned battery terminals and cables, checked elec. connections at coil, checked all plug wires, cleaned and re-gapped points, replaced rotor.

Started right up.

They're certainly Fuchs. Tyre size is 205/60 R15 (Yokohamas) Diameter is 15". Not sure of the actual wheel width.
Thanks for the compliments!

Started threading the wiring harness back into the car, had the rear ends threaded thru the new snorkle with about 4 inches to go when it split open and was trash.
Then decided to tackle the airbox reinstall, got it back in place but but to slightly elongate the mounting holes in the brackets to get it to fit with the new top seal and mesh.... Then when threading the front harness back I found a damaged wire that the company that just has restored the harness missed.....wonder what else they missed... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I so need to split some firewood and drink beer right now...

Removed the top off and took her out with my daughter for a short shakedown prior to Friday's Hershey run. With the oil cooler installed, temps were right at 205-210. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) That's a relief... Had bled the brakes last week and that made a nice improvement in pedal feel, and overall braking. The swill that came out was pretty nasty.

The fuel pump is a question tho, it's buzzing and gently squealing at times but a quick run up to 95 gave no indication of any fuel starvation. I think that was the only time my daughter looked up from her cell phone... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Boy, that last comment about your daughter sure sounds familiar. Sounds like me talking about my daughter! Ha ha!

It's the top (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

You've created a paradox, with unequal number of opposing colored squares linearly vs. laterally. The protons and electrons are bombarding each other, rather than flowing uniformly in one direction. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Put the other top back on and see if that helps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

...took a break from the 914 chores and went over to Santa Anita Park for a short 20 minute parking lot autocross. $70.00 , your choice of super car; Lamborghini, Ferrari, 997 turbo.
I drove the Porsche , left it in second, and used the dirty gravelly tarmac to whip the back end out, and get some good thrills. The Italian stallions were running hot and slow...good choice on the P car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Hi, can you share on a separate thread your oil cooler installation and type of cooler? Thanks!

I took the car cover off the 911 and laid it on top of the 914. So technically I did something to the 914 today.

I fixed all the damage to my trailer so I can tow the 914 to WCR.

This is for Murphy's law. If I have the trailer, it will not need to be towed...
