Roger,

Looks like your getting really close. The only thing I noticed was lack of a recovery tank.

Wish I were closer.......would really like to see your progress in person.

OK guys and gals....

It's running. And how???

Like CRAZY fast!

The Corvette muffs are in and look and sound fantastic.

I could have not done it without all of your help.

Including Miles, ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Baaaaah. That's "thank you" in goat talk.

Now my sweetie pie, who knows this car may break down at any minute, wants to go driving on little getaways or day trips.


I can't wait.

Amazingly those 165's do well in a straight line. I'm not shock loading the drivetrain right now. Heck the engine is barely broke in. I'm running it a little conservatively but as i develop more confidence i'm sure there will be more postings from me regarding wider rubber. =-)

I've never owned a car that handled so well. thats not saying much though.

Alritey then. Upon request, the exhaust video Andy.

Roger,

Looks like all the hard work paid off!! Engine sounds great too.

Be carefull passing large trucks over 100 mph with those skinny tires. BTDT.......it was not pretty and I feel lucky to be here now. I'm sure you have already experienced, it takes very little to reach 100 mph now.

Sounds great!!!!

Glad you got yours running!!

Sounds like you have a little tuning to do, A dyno will fix that right up.

We'll have have a little heads up on the freeway (50-80 or sumtin)

I wana know what your engine does compared to mine. (yours will obviously be faster when tuned, I dont have heads yet)

Andyrew, You gotta' deal. =-))

As it is, the timing is a little retarded. It's already a handful as it is though. 8 more degrees advance will produce a heck of a lot more torque. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

I'm kinda scared of it. I was shaking for a half an hour after driving it last night.

Today Patricia and I are going to cruise it up in the hills to just shake it down for troubles before going on the "dream drive" up the coast. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) I have 2 more uses on the AAA card before the end of the year. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

We'll post pics of our afternoons adventures this evening. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

NIce!

But please...

spend the 200 bucks and buy some new tires.

Dont kill yourself with something stupid.. lol

(do you have diff rims yet? or are you running those rims??)

Kumho cheepies. 205 60 15.

Kumho 711's (little stickier) I suggest using for the fronts.. 50 series.

195 65 15's. Give you better crusing, you pick price/performance... I sugest these for rear...


GL!!!!

Andy and everyone,

I am in the market for a wheel/tire upgrade. On a budget. =-)

I want to stay 4 bolt for now because I can't afford the Carrera front end/brakes that I need soon.

If I was smart I'd do the Carrera front ASAP and put some temporary 5 bolt wheels on her until I can affford some wheels/tires I really like.

Easy is saying a Carrera front end will run me about $800........

Any suggestions????

First, relax and enjoy your new ride a little. Take it easy, break it in, keep the ear to ear grins flowing.

Todays shakedown cruise went something like this...

Took off for Berkeley Marina. Noted temps very slowly climbing.
I have the fans on a manual switch and they were on.
At the marina she topped out at 200 degrees.

Then we cruised up University Ave in gridlock traffic. Temps continued to climb. I got out of stop and go, took surface streets up to Spruce for a light climb up into the hills.

That's where the temps got too high. Had to shut her down.

One use left on AAA card...... for the year.

Now I really feel like a 914 owner. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

So here's what I think is the overheating culprit.

It does not have an enclosed shroud for cool air so warm air can recirculate. I think.

But I was also thinking that a well burped sealed system would still be fine as it is.

Guess not.

For the seasoned V8 guys, is this fan shroud OK? Modification suggestions?
