Would you like an SSD that fits your laptop and gives you 3.5TB? We're making them and they should be available within the year- none of this is classified btw! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I remember when the SSD's were coming out in decent sizes a few years ago.. $500 bucks was insane! I much prefer to have the OS around 100gb (40 for the OS and the rest for Office, adobe, ect ect) then have a couple of 3 TB HD's running RAID for storage. |

LA Dismantling had a booth at SEMA. Technically a new 911 but I think it's the same holes.

Update per request by Jeff....
Nada, nothing done to 914 unless you count me getting caught by the wife web surfing for possible new rims for a car that doesn't run! No, I really don't plan on buying any new rims...just killing some time and dreaming. |

My update for sake of doing an update....
0 progress on the 914, working on a 14'x8'x8' playhouse for my girls, it is keeping me too busy. Playhouse is almost finished, just in time for me gone for 2 weeks for vacation! I fully expect to be at or near the bottom of the list and I'm okay with that....I have not thrown in the towel and given up yet! |

QUOTE(r_towle @ May 30 2016, 10:39 PM) Update? No real progress unfortunately, I did score some major brownie points with the wife by knocking out projects the last few weekends for her and my daughters. I told her there is a VW - Porsche car show on the 1st weekend of August that I want to go to with the 914, so the car will be coming home in the next week or so for me to start working on it. Time to start ordering parts for it, 1st on the list is all new fuel lines and rear brake lines for sure. Car has not run in about 4 years so lots of work to do. I'll need to replace a few broken exhaust studs as well on the replacement motor, hope that goes better than the time I drilled into the combustion chamber! |

I saw you talking about going to the August show so I figured it's time to blow the dust off and get it running. I am excited to see you in a new to you 914

The car is still across the street, however I have started to buy some items for the soon to happen motor installation.
$164 shipped from Rotary '14 , so far they look like nice parts.  |

Mueller, what machine control software are you using? I put together a knee mill running a cnc4pc breakout board and Mach3 for software. It runs great. I can run at 30+ inches a minute with steppers. There is no need to learn c++ to interface Mach3.

I can run at 30+ inches a minute with steppers. There is no need to learn c++ to interface Mach3. I was using Mach with a PC as well, no longer going to use the Kflop for the motion controller since the Bridgeport is for sale , or it will be once I put it back together and get the cheaper controller working on it. I had to take the X motor and ballscrew out and remove the 300+ lb table to get the mill out of my workshop since I literally built the walls for the shop after the BP mill was placed on the concrete pad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I am buying a new 4th axis mill, the 4th axis can do indexing as well as cordinated movements with the spindle for making stuff such as cams or cranks if i wanted to (model stuff of course) X is 18, Y is 10, Z is 14 (might be off on the numbers a little) 8 position automatic tool changer, flood coolant as well. For the BP mill, I bought from banggood Chinese import CNC controller. http://www.banggood.com/50KHZ-CNC-4-Axis-O...-p-1021134.html (I think I paid $158 shipped) Not much out there on installs and use, so far one guy that did a router install a few months back.

Do tell. Day dreaming or did the bit catch and pull through? Were there any new curse words created at that moment? Stupidity I'd say and rushing the job, I had a track event at Thunderhill the next day and screwed up while trying to drill the stud while under the car. I screwed up the head and ended up calling the wife and telling her I was going to go get brand new Kuhmo tires for her Volvo since that is what I was going to track instead! Turns out I had a blast in my run group in the family Volvo! Wife also felt bad for me screwing up my 914 and bought me a '91 964 C2 a month later for my birthday.

Started to work on the 1.7 engine....
4 out 8 exhaust studs are broken, I started to spray them with a penetrate, next will be welding nuts to them and hopefully they screw right out! I popped off the valve covers and it is very, very clean in there, no sludge. I drained the oil and it was nice and clean (for engine oil, hahaha) Time to clean off all the tin from it sitting for a few years, and install L-Jet instead of the current D-Jet (so all the D-Jet stuff will be for sale) Debating whether or not to pull the heads, I figure at this point it might not be a bad idea so I can do a quick inspection. I was a little surprised that it does not have the 911 swivel adjusters, no idea yet if these rockers can be modified for using them or not.      |

I am glad to see that it looks like the missing exhaust studs threads are in great shape, I see no signs of stripping or that they have been damaged before.

Took heads and cylinders off tonight, didn't like how one side had more oil leakage than the other.
Measured the cylinders and they are 93mm which makes this motor a 1911, which is cool since I thought it was a 1700. Pistons and cylinders in great shape, not many miles on this motor at all! I'll have to run the part numbers but I think they are stock cylinders bored out. No 911 swivel foot adjusters which sucks. No idea what camshaft used, not sure if I want to pop off the oil pump to look for some markings on it or not. |

93 bore x 71 stroke = 1929cc. Maybe that's what Mike meant. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
