Got the tranny out and back in. Glad I pulled it too. I found one area where 2 teeth from the flywheel had dug into the bell housing. There is was a clearance problem at about the 5 o'clock position. Little machine work here and there and the engine cranks over just fine.

I started fabbing the rear mount. Once it's painted and installed I'll snap a couple pics.

The 6 speed is at least 20lbs heavier than the 5 speed. Kind of a PITA to R&R. My brother happened by just as I was stuffing it back in the car. Thanks Bro!

Car is on the road again!

6 Speed works great! Smooth & easy shifting, better gearing. Got my 930 CV's and axles in and my VSS reworked so my speedo works.

Now I have to track down a fuel smell. I can't find a leak or drip but I can smell it.

Now I need to get some shake down runs in... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Car looks awesome! Do you know if the wing helps? Have you drove it with it on and off?

I can feel it above 80mph. There is a difference with/without it. But, it's a high speed device. I was passing some cars on the freeway today and suddenly I was doing over 100mph. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Whoops, I slowed it down. It was the car, not me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thank You!

Found my fuel leak. 1/8" NPT fitting on the pressure regulator. It was soooo loose. I can't believe I didn't find it sooner. I can't believe it wasn't leaking sooner. It is a plug where a gauge could be installed.

All fixed now!

Hi Mike- Looking good; I do not recall seeing the GT flares on your car the last time I saw it. Car looks nice and I bet it screams too. Nice work.

Last time you saw it, there were 930 steel flares on the car. As I found out when removing them, they were a shoddy installation on a race car. 3 layers of lap welds and bondo lifting.

I picked up 2 sets of fiberglass flares. One from Brad @ 914ltd with rockers and one set from AIR. I ended up using 3 of Brad's and 1 of AIR (front left) along with Brad's flared rockers. The welting is some 1950's style ebay fender welting product.

Yeah, it had nothing to do with that right foot.... eh! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I bet that thing pulls like crazy with that power plant.

Got my new plate today. I got the idea from a Mercedes Konzept car.

I have released "914 TT" go reserve it now on the CA DMV website... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Car is running good but not great. It stumbles rich at WOT. I need to get it in for final dyno tuning at some point. I'm driving it to the 9-14 PCA auto-x (to observe) tomorrow. Got to take it somewhere on 9-14 right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Just drove it 180 miles round trip to the 9-14 auto-x. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I'm at the point where it needs to get the final tune.

Here is a shitty video. My mount was loose. You can see the camera sway back & forth and the video is quite shakey. But here it is anyway...
