I checked where my 914 was at the moment. It is on its way ! About 2-3 more weeks before I can see it with my own eyes ....



Whooohoo, hurry up little boat!

I waxed mine for the first time ever in my possession and I've owned it since 2013... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Noticed a spot under the car.... gasoline smell. Took the car in to MRD Racing (Vista, CA), and they found a leaking fuel line, up front at the access port. Got it fixed, fortunately didn't go up in flames.

Cuda, I assume you have an extinguisher in the car. NEVER go without one! Many years ago I was starting my car in Porsche Park at Road America and it wouldn't start and had a MAJOR gas smell. One of the fuel lines had come loose. Thank God no one was smoking nearby, but I got a Halon extinguisher right after that and have never not had one in any of our vehicles.
Cheap insurance!!!

Good advice The only time I've used mine was on a flaming VW pulled to the side of the road. Some poor guy was yanking off burning parts when I arrived. It was out in less than 8 seconds. Also, read the instructions before using. Most people don't realize there is a correct way to use one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Hopefully they replaced all of the hoses in the system with SAE-30R9 (or better) hoses.

Got under it and cranked down on my heat echanger bolts. Improved, but a little leaky I think still. Also rigged up some tubing and forced some lube into my new throttle cable. Some folks think its a bad idea, but i went for it. Film at 11.

No work on it directly, I started to put together my new mill to make some parts for it!

Top portion weighs 1100+ pounds, base is 500+ pounds.

I still need to attach the 10 tool ATC and the power drawbar.

OK Mueller, I am jealous! I have been lusting for a Tormach for years. I can't wait to see the cool parts that will come off that machine. I would love to have a tool changer on my Mill.

I lost a fuel pump in the middle of nowhere... At least I had limited cell service, no calls but I could text and surf the web. The PCA guys stopped and were able to drive ahead to call my wife for rescue. I had set her up with tow bar and gear before I left on the cruise. Took her two hours to get out to me and another two hours to get home... I brought my laptop and diagnostic tools with me so troubleshooting was easy, repair was impossible... Now I need a fuel pump.

Luckily I had plenty of water... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

I noticed that the passenger side sun visor was hanging a bit low. I got out my trusty stubby phillips and tightened the set screw.

I am pleased to report that after a 45 min test drive including full throttle acceleration, threshold breaking and as many 1 g corners I could find, just like an airplane tray table on Viagra, the previously drooping visor remained in it's full upright position.
