It is official...my car will be 1.7 powered...I went up to Sonoma last night with the twins and we picked up a new-to-me motor and got a tour of Marks shop before he takes off to Michigan.

Motor was supposedly rebuilt by Bontempi a few years back and the owner had issues with the FI system (?) and threw in the towel and bought a complete 2.0 or something like that.

Super clean motor (minus the dust from Marks shop) looks like the tin is powder coated and all complete.

I will be installing L-Jet 1.8 FI from that I am getting from Jim Kelly that graciously gave me the system for the price of shipping...a huge thank you to Jim!

Mark even gave me a steering wheel after hearing my tale of woe with my last eBay purchase of getting ripped off for $40 for a steering wheel I purchased that never arrived and how eBay won't refund my money since I screwed up and they won't honor their buyer protection plan!

Oh well, getting closer to having a running 914.

Last time I pulled into the garage, my fogs weren't lit up. Weird, I always drive with them on(Its the middle of the day) Went looking for why, everything seemed to be hooked up still, good fuse etc. Dug out a different switch from my stash, got tools to pull the wheel and dash cluster...Then realized I was probably running around with high beams on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Yep! Easiest fix ever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

I think I know where that FI came from... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Off of THIS CAR, unless I am mistaken. Need to get back to that project... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Good luck with your project, sir!

We rented a place in Flag for a couple weeks to escape the Phoenix heat. It was 74 here and 104 in Phoenix today. It will be hot in Phoenix until October. So where are you moving?

Payson. It got up to 101 one day while we were there ... didn't seem bad at all though. Phoenix was 115 or so during the same period (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif)

If it gets too hot for us in AZ, we'll just hightail it back to So Cal until it cools off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

i just wanted to start a thread to see what you guys do day to day on your cars.

i'll start,

about a month ago, i pulled my engine and trans to put in a new clutch. had the flywheel lightened and resurfaced. but what i didnt know is that i had to shim the little ball that the clutch arm rides on, after a resurfacing. so guess what i did today?

yup, pulled the trans and put an extra washer under the ball. you have to goop up both washers to get it to seal because the threaded hole goes all the way thru to the inside of the trans. i also replaced the plastic cup that the ball rides in. the throwout bearing and its little plastic blocks were fine so i buttoned every thing back up. 5 hours total. i think this has been the cheapest repair yet on my car. $2.75 for the little plastic cup.

what did you do to your 914 today?

Did Mark say when the official move day was? He must be trying to down size as much as possible before the move. I've seen all the cars and extra parts he has accumulated.

I know I did with my last two moves and I still have tons of stuff.

Installed the leistritz muffler that I bought from member here.
My neighbor a few blocks away ask me to drive slowly while running less than 25mph on a residential street with 25mph limit. Maybe he thought I'm running faster than the speed limit just because of my muffler sound. Well I hope with leistritz muffler I will not get his attention again.

Tank rust removal. The old battery charger trick works really well!

I got a new load of Mark's great 914 Rubber parts and fixed the door keepers. I love that "click-clack" sound that Porsche doors make when the rollers aren't all worn out. Installed some door new door end caps, so the drivers window finally has the right part. Doors slam very solidly now.

Forrest and I bled both of our cars' brake systems thoroughly and we both have better pedal. Oh yeah, drove the shit out of it too….!!!
