Back from a short drive , got stuck in a major downpour! Front targa seal on drivers side leaks- installed last year. Can't figure out how the water is getting thru at that point. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I've been spending the last several weekends tuning with a friend. Mostly learning a helluva lot. ITBs are a challenge, but I couldn't get anywhere until we solved the O2 wideband sensor and PLX module issue with the Megasquirt. AFRs are now stoichiometric for the first time!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) And then a massive thunderstorm hits. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Next up for the upcoming long weekend: install the new shift linkage from Tangerine Racing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Drove the /6 to Alices for lunch yesterday and flogged it hard on the backroads afterwards. The car developed a major chatter when taking off in first gear. Pulls good in all gears and shifts fine but chatters on take off. Car was hot. Oil was seeping backwards. Not sure if I got oil on clutch disc, or what. I adjusted the clutch today and also found that one of the transmission mounts bolts was loose by 3/16". Tightened the bolt and the chatter is still there. Thoughts? ??

I started the car this morning, for the first time in a month! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

In the past three days, I have replaced the rest of the pushrod seals (passenger side), readjusted the valves, installed the new exhaust and most of the heater parts and replaced the rear brake hoses and hard lines on the trailing arms.

The driver's side hard line must have broken at some point, but instead of replacing it with a new line, the DAPO spliced the hard line back together with a double-ended compression fitting, and that's what was leaking. I'm a little surprised it lasted as long as it did, glad it didn't fail on my trip back from Ohio.

Sure! Thanks! The build thread is over on another site that used to have more traffic but has died out over the past couple years. Well, except for Balljoint and his many personalities ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Anyway, the build thread is on the forum at ClubNARP.com in the "Garage" forum, under the thread, "Start of a Beautiful Build" ... I've been meaning to convert that thread to some sort of documentation of my car's build since it is rather unique in many ways. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Finally fixed one of the trunk hinges with the fancy J-west part. Getting off the torsion springs was fun part. Drilling 4 holes with a flexible drill extension was also fun! I fund it is better to get the both side springs off in the 1 st place in order to achieve decent trunk alignments. I was too lazy to change the other side since it is still holding up nicely so far.

It is cloudy and under 100F in Phoenix so I took it for a drive to Saguaro Lake. A couple in a 997 Carrera S gave me thumbs up on the freeway. Don't think I've ever had a water cooled guy do that. Now it's back under the cover until October.

And what will happen if we get an El Niño this winter? ... will it negatively affect the Phoenix area and keep your car under the cover then as well? (historically speaking)

Wondering if the AZ mountains will be getting more snow than usual too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

All indications are that we are headed towards an El Niño this winter.

What did I do today? Abe (abes914) came by the shop to pick up a clutch package, so I figured that I'd hang out there for a while.

Found a bunch of other parts that I forgotten all about - some I'll keep, and some will be up for sale, so loaded up those (mostly 914) parts to take to the GR&B Swap Meet.

Maybe I'll have a chance to fire up the 'BB' tomorrow and take a little drive before all the holiday travelers get back in town (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Helped my cousin from bay area with his 73 1.7 a minor clean up and sorting of various parts. It has been inside the garage as his 15 plus yrs restoration. The car was running before the restoration.
