Oh! Also, I took the valve covers and chain tensioner covers off the 3.2 as well, I'll swap these when they get powder coated....

I should note, I'm not COMPLETELY done cleaning them, but mostly. What are some ideas for coating? Just high temp paint? I just dropped off my HEs to PERFORMACE COATINGS here in Auburn, WA. http://www.performancecoatings.com/index2.html If you wait a bit, 2 weeks, I'll show you pics of what mine look like when done. And give you an opinion. Quoted $275 for both to be done. Figured they need the extra protection since it is a SIX. picked silver titanium as the color. |

Sounds good! What exhaust are you running? Thanks! Thats actually the stock muffler with the cat still on it. I swear, it was glowing red after a few go's, I hear they don't do well with carbs, who knew? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) . For now, I'll be running stock /6 exhaust and am going to see if I can do the same muffler, I'm hoping it sounds just as good or better inside the engine bay of the 914, and I definitely think it sounds better in person, the GoPro can't capture what it really sounds like.

We may have some stuff from the shop going out to a coating shop this week, so if that's so, I want to throw my stuff in there as well. $275 doesnt seem bad. |

We use dispersant coatings which are a performance based coating and help radiate heat from the valve train and cylinder heads only problem is it only comes in black..
Pm me for more info.. |

Starting putting in the carpet. But before that, I wanted to have some 'padding' to go beneath it, plus I don't like how you can see beneath the seats and such in the 914....
At my Dads advice, I got some cheap felt carpet and started laying it down. This allows for padding and some sound absorption, and the black backround looks much 'neater' and clean than just seeing the panel. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1294809952.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1294809953.2.jpg) Started off by cleaning the area, then taping around the wiring harness and anywhere that the glue can go.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1294809954.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1294809954.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1294809955.5.jpg) The felt with no backing is really easy to 'form' to the spaces and crevices... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1294809956.6.jpg) Then, after everything is is set, cut out the spaces around the harness so you have access..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1294809956.7.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1294809957.8.jpg) Repeat for the whole pan.....

Oil tank looking good after some paint touch up, I was actually surprised how little work it needed. Has oil sitting in it now with everything plugged up....
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1295322778.1.jpg) Took me about 30 minutes, but I got all the sheet metal... I'm one happy camper (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1295322778.2.jpg) |

what kind of carpet was the stuff that you glued in? I am looking for the thin, GT style carpet for my project.

With the carpet crossed off, this is the next item on the list.....
This is basically what I'm dealing with right now.... I'm kinda bitching, but the rest of the car is done, and everything is good, it's just getting everything nice and neat and back to stock....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Well worth the $230 to have 'em done! |

Few new developments and 'finds'...
Forget MOMO, Dad found and gave me this.... Its 'Personal' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1296145864.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1296145865.2.jpg) Also acquired 2 lifts that we are putting up now, a Four-post and a Two-post... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1296145865.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1296145866.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1296145867.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1296145867.6.jpg) We are looking into doing an RSR tribute car to promote our racing simulators... and we got this with the car... I was originally going to go with a 3.0 SC engine, but this 2.7 looks to be more fresh, as everything appears to be new on it (tensioners, powdercoated valve covers, etc). It shows only little signs of use and was recently converted to 2.9, leading me to think that it's been recently gone over. I'll be taking the CIS off later today....
