Hi guys, tomorrow I will be filling in my application for the 2005 MidWest Classic. Iam both excited (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) and scared (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) . Excited for I will get to meet all of your guys in this part of the world, but scared for so far I have only driven my 914 around the block at best....I do not know if it will hold together that far and back. Oh well,I have till August to test drive it. I live in Dayton so I hope to link up with some of you as we head up north. I get goose bumps thinking how much fun such a caravan will be. That way just as the settlers heading out west, if my wagon breaks down, you guys will fix me up to keep the indians at bay and send the calvary to rescue me. That is all for now and hope to as time gets closer to have some comunications with fellow travelers. Al PS: mine is a black, 1975 - 2.0 L baby |

You bet !!! Iam EXCITED The women I live with trains dogs and as such I have had to go to a zillion dog shows, this time I get to drag her butt to someting I am intrested in. Perhaps I should bring along a few dogs to pull the teener if it breaks down. Oh perhaps I don't need to do that; the little lady can push it if that happens. |

Al,
Don't sweat it man.... there will be a few of us on maiden voyages also. So between the group of us, someone will have the tool or part to fix the problem. The number one thing is clutch cables. Keep a spare one. I'll be loaded down with all the right stuff. As they say down under...No Worries Mate! |

Dralf: Welcome to the group of Ohio 914ers. Don't under estimate your 914,it,s not unusual for these engines to do 150000 to 250000 miles with out the case being split. The most important thing is regular maintance. 3,ooo mille oil & filter change.and adjust valves. There is all the help you will ever need on the 914 club site. Please send me your e-mail so I can add you to the list of Ohio 914ers. Dave kimple aka BarberDave (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Thanks for the words of encouragement.
I was told this engine was rebuilt, but then again don't know who did it or what was actually done. I can tell that it was taken out of the car for only half the stuff was put back correctly. I am the 5th owner so we will see if my TLC will make it more reliable than my first on. Gosh I had a love hate relationship with my 1971 model. I got it new and in the 60,000 miles I drove it in 5 years I spent $5000 in maintance of every and any sort ! My dad thought I was nuts for you could back then buy a nice car for about $2500 and I had spent twice that much keeping the teener on the road. THe "Dog Lady" and I look forward to that weekend. My E Mail is DRALF@HOTMAIL.COM and phone # is 937 859 1090. I look forward to participating in the caravan so please let me know when and where to link up. AL |

Al, I was nervous to when I made the trek from South Bend to Whitmore Lakes for last years MWC. It was my cars maiden voyage after sitting in a desert outside for 6 years then about 8 mos of my restoration. Mine was totally apart and put back together (by me which makes it even more scarier). I was bleeding the brakes about 30 minutes before Garold (itsa914) swung by to follow me in case something happened. Sean met up with us in Angola. Ask around for those owners around you to caravan up. That way if something does happen you've got a crew to help you out. It's great peace of mind!
By the way...my teener made it back and forth with no issues. Then I drove it another 500 miles going back and forth to the FFC (Fall Foilage Classic) in southern indiana. It was a blast! Jim |

Al,
I'll be giving you a call probably a week or two before the show. We can link up somewhere in yellowsprings to look things over and make sure neither one of us have missed something. This also will give us both a little distance from home to listen to all the noises coming from the cars. If something is a miss we can get it squared away. The morning of the show we can get with Dan "xboost" who is coming up from Cinci. Brad Shisler and his cherry car will probably be caravaning also here from Cow-lumbus. I'll have to send him a email to see. Trust me, I'm a bit nervous also. The previous owner's son had the engine and tranny rebuilt. The FI had a problem after roughly a 1000 mile break in and he just let it sit outside for nine flipping years! I did not rebuild the engine. I PB blasted the cylinders and let it sit for a week. I did this again. I turned it over by hand for roughly an hour. Then I drained out all the oil, flushed the engine then refilled. Replaced all the hoses, injectors, yadda, yadda, yadda and this puppy runs awesome. BarberDave is 100% correct, these are tough little cars. Try doing that with a Detroit iron engine, it would be a 600 lb paper weight after setting outside nine years. So relax take a deep breath and all will be good to go. If you need help send me a email and I'll cruise out to D-town to your place. We can go over your car and look for potential issues. This might give you a warm fuzzy to plant your butt in the seat for the trip. Me, I'm fearless or stupid one. Damn the torpedos full steam ahead!
