It's a good thing I don't have the 1.7 badge on the back, because she is back on her wheels as a short stroke 1911cc! Just a few odds and ends, and she will be back on the road/track. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

My kids were dragging their feet about heading to the beach tonight so I left them at home. Kathy and I drove over on highway 17 through Santa Cruz and then up highway 1 to Pescadero. Dinner at Alice's in Woodside. From Alice's to Saratoga I played with a Subaru BRZ up to the speed limit. Those cars sure do handle well.

Drove it today with my wife.
Well my wife ask me if we can use the 914 for a few trips here in Orange county this morning. She told me also that she did ride with me on this car 3 times only since 2011 and today will be the 4th. Hhhmmmm she was counting how many times!!! Well I told her okay since today was her last day from summer vacation as a teacher and yes we did went to few places and while heading home and half mile away from exit, a small stone (maybe) that came from a truck infront of us hit my windshield. Is anyone can share a thread about a good home service windshield replacement here in SoCal and that will install back the chromed trim? Hope Sir Lawrence (Larmo63) who did a windshield replacement lately can share his experienced. Thanks! Yehey! Hagerty approved my claim for windshield replacement and for the chrome trim clip for a total of $297. No deductible on my policy. Thanks Jim H for the referral of Rufino to replace the windshield and Lawrence for confirming the parts I will need. Attached image(s)

I spent some time researching Hydraulic clutch components for the 'BB' over the passed couple of days.
CB Performance sells a CNC# 6076 7/8" slave cylinder specifically designed for VW T-1 transaxles for $65. I've noticed some folks on the board here appear to have employed them on 914s with success (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Still not sure which M/C I'll need, but I've also seen folks utilizing Porsche 928 M/Cs, which are available new on ebay for $80. The foot-well is already modified for an additional M/C, the reservoir is mounted and the supply line is in ready to hook up for when I obtain the appropriate M/C. Any input from you guys who have completed successful installations will be greatly appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

Kept up the tradition and drove my daughter to her first day of school. She's a junior and I only have 1 more remaining....unless I get to drive her to college too!
Been our tradition since I got the SIX finished. Worth taking the whole day off, as I cannot replace these days and will not miss them. Soon all the kids will be gone and the house quiet. |

QUOTE(matthepcat @ Aug 29 2015, 11:41 PM) After McMark suggested I install zerk grease fittings today at the BBQ, I decided to bite the bullet and install them. Seems to have cured my hard bushing groan/squeak. Really the car was transformed...rides so much better...like I installed softer springs. Don't know why I didn't do this earlier. Super easy Hi sir, can you share a picture on your installed zerk grease fitting and maybe a few idea on how to do it? thanks in advance! |

Spent some time at the shop this morning and early afternoon. It was overcast so the temperature in shop was quite bearable (for a change) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Found the solution to removing an imprisoned cylinder#1 barrel nut the #1/2 side head on the 912 motor ...  Mr. Dremmel, meet Mr.Stud (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)   ... stud remnant removal also documented   ... |

... I also had to remove a second cylinder# 1 upper stud that was too short (missing some threads at the tip) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
Also removed the barrels to check the pistons, rings and rod play.  Now, off to search for a couple of good used studs, two good two barrel nuts and a few new exhaust port studs*... (and my ring compressing tool). Then I can install the new lower deflector plate*, new push rod tube seals, new head washers* and new o-rings* as needed ... (* all of these items weren't installed when the PO put this motor together) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
