Looks like your car is getting right along. Any update (or narrowing down) on an ETA?

I'll bet you are pretty anxious to drive it.

replaced the drive-belt in the twin-plug distributor. those are wear-items and should be replaced on a regular bases.

the ozon created by the spark eats away the rubber of the belt. belt failure can be catastrophic for your engine. (just ask Bill P. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) )

i also added a additional vent-kit for the second dizzy. cheap insurance ..

i'm going for stainless fuel-lines in the engine compartment.
the 3.6L has the fuel rail inlet on the drivers side, so i needed to route around the backside.

the fuel filter will be mounted on a custom bracket on the drivers side long ...

the 911 dash turned out really nice. the picture doesn't do it much justice ...

i wet-sanded the top to get it really smooth and then brandon from altissimo put a few coats of clear on it.
it turned out schweet and the CF has a really nice 3D texture to it ...

How about an update Andy?
I saw your car in the pictures of the WCR, so we know it's done, or at least running and driveable...

update will come later this week. yes, it's running! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

there's a few things that need to be sorted out. the off idle is rough and it doesn't want to drop the rpm right away when you let off the gas, there's a 1 second delay.
got some minor oil seepage on one line.

i also need to change the oil after the weekend as well as the two filters. flushing the system after the initial shakedown run.

re-torque all the bolts. mount the fuel pump permanently.

you know, little things like that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


by the end of the weekend, i felt pretty comfortable. the engine has GOBS of power once you hit the cams (which is pretty early).

i let quite a bit of smoke out of my 225 street tires ...

i wanted to make sure i was the first to get gas in his eyes if for some odd reason my homemade loctite seals didn't work out ...

luckily, the pump stayed dry with no leaks!

oh, the joy of having a running car again ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)


i know "you can never have enough power" but for now, i'm more than happy with how the car feels & drives.
i got *plenty* of power through all gears, once it hits the cams, it's just ripping until it hits the rev limiter. and still wants to go at that point ...

i've gotta be careful, having over 1000 lbs less to schlepp around than a stock 993, that motor seems like a real handful in a 914.

today, on the way back from napa, i took the 37 onramp (nice radius that gets a bit tighter towards the end), feathered in throttle coming out of the turn and then went down to full throttle (i was already in 4th) and BAM, rear goes a bit sideways, i stay on the throttle and correct with the steering and by the time the car is straight again, i'm already hitting 100 ...
