installed some real nice early calipers i got from a member here. Also found some new rubber and copper brake lines from an old 71 vw bus rebuild i never used. Then installed them on the 914. fit perfect.

Today: blasted and painted Direct To Metal epoxy primer to engine bay from the seal up / color goes on thereafter / tank out and old plastic lines out / new SS fuel line and fuel pump from Tangerine when it gets here this week / new clutch cable from PP in today/ rebuilt all bushings and cones on side shift linkage conversion / the engine bay is looking more and more like my old 65 356 SC - twin Solex carbs standing tall. simple linkage to the accelerator pedal / direct response to the influx of fuel............ this is what the 914 is all about / no EPA, DOT, and no SPC914's.....

I drove my car around on errands when I got home from WORK. Oh, and I Windexed the windows on Speedy.

Drove it to the starting line at the Amgen Tour of California cycling race here in San Jose. I scored close parking in a tight parking space. The 914 was small enough to barely fit between two driveways where a regular modern car would have been too big. Nolan was able to get 25 time Tour de France stage winner, Mark Cavendish, to sign his cowbell before the start of today's stage.

Very cool! An autograph from the Manx Missile. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
I had a Ciocc racing frame that I had autographed by both Greg Lemond and the greatest of all time Eddy Merckx. Crashed it in a race in San Francisco. Stupid. I should have hung it up. |

One last angle. This profile should keep curb rash romantic happening My 75 1.8 (original color-copper metallic too) but it was top coated with midnight blue. Anyway, my tires are falken 205x50x15 with outer tire lip too to protect the rim. ![]() And drove it to buy kids dinner at Papa Johns and wife Pho for her dinner. ![]() |

Took three out of four wheels off to get new tires put on. Fourth is still there...broke three wrenches trying to get the lug bolts off.
The socket tube thingy for fixing flats split. Another tire iron I had laying around would not fit into the Riviera Mag wheels so I ground down the outside just a bit. It split too, once I applied the cheater bar. Last resort was 19mm socket on my ratchet set. I knew I shouldn't put a cheater on a 1/2" ratchet, I did and it broke. Tomorrow I will buy some better tools. I bought this 914 a few weeks go and don't think the wheels have been off in a while. |

Get that top coat off and go back to copper metallic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I originally was going with falkin but they didn't have the size tire I wanted in the 205/55-16 .but they had been recommended by one of the mechanics at the shop. He had them.on his BMW M3 and his Audi. The owner of the. Same place had the Bridgestone on his 911sc track car- same rims too. |

Fixed the reverse lights (bad switch) and installed Spoke's rear LED lights. What a difference those make.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I would have thought so too, if not for the mis-matched tires all around...pretty sure that is not stock...nor a dealer option. I initially tried to get new tires at Sam's Club - their computer didn't go back far enough for the 1970 914 so they said they could only put the same too-small size as are on it (take your pick) instead of what I wanted. |

Took my '73 to the shop today. It would run fine, then the idle would randomly get erratic. They found a broken breaker plate in the distributor. Runs great now.
