Small vacation in Las Vegas, but I've still been working hard at the car!
Drilled the 5-lugs onto the new rotors. Thinking of offering this service if anyone is intersted? Also, call me anal, but I painted the rotors, and the rear suspension is complete.

Hit a small 'speedbump' on the driverside rear suspension.... Apparently, between using the torque wrench on the passenger side, and the driver side, someone else used it and uped the setting..... causing the bolts to break "SONofaB****!!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
CHECK YOUR SETTINGS!!!! 18 Ft/Lbs on these!

Not a big deal as it's just undercoating, but still. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

And I'm back in a 914!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Just picked up this 'old thing' from the guys at European Motorsports. They did a great job with a few problems that the 3.6 engine was having!

Getting ready for this engine to go in this week, just as soon as I get the clutch/flywheel/pressure plate kit I ordered.
I'm loving the way that this engine sheet metal and Heat Exchangers came out. I think it goes to show that not everything has to be powder-coated and that painting isn't bad, as long as you do the prep work correctly.

Thanks guys, I'm pounding away here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) and I'm hoping to have a video this weekend. As soon as I find a good flywheel/pressure plate/clutch package, I'll be in business and have this thing in. All that's left after that is to finish the wiring under the dash, the gauges, and put on the hoods and glass. |

Still waiting on the flywheel/clutch package I ordered (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Apparently, the guy I bought it off of on eBay wont ship it until he gets the check from the broker service (Moneybookers), even though that service confirmed I processed the payment on Tuesday, and here we are on Friday and it hasn't even been shipped. Nice. Asshole. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jerkit.gif) Whatever. Yesterday, we where trying to look for other things to do, so we power bled the brakes and I hunted down the hard oil line that connects to the bottom of the engine.... only to find out it doesn't fit. Looks like braided lines it is....

Finally got the Flywheel, Clutch, and Pressure Plate from the seller on eBay.
I can not stress this enough, but 'BUYER BEWARE" of a seller by the name of air.cooled.356.911, he is extremely rough, verbose, overbearing, and vague, trying to get you off the phone with the minimum details possible It took him 10 days to ship my product as he was 'waiting for the payment to clear'. Which I later found out by calling the payment company that it clears instantly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) After multiple phone calls, and him finally having a 'cleared payment' (after 7 days) he agreed to ship the item.... until he claimed I had'nt paid shippign on the item that he listed as 'shipping free'. He further went on to swear that he had sent me an invoice, and when he could'nt find said invoice, he insisted that I had hacked into eBay, and deleted it from his messages, or that I was lying to him that I had it. Eventually, after filing an eBay buyer protection case, he sent me a tracking number on Wedsnesday insisting that I send him an additional $18 for shipping after I received the item (however, he didn't ship the item until Thursday night). I later found out by looking at my online banking that he automatically charged me shipping, so whether it was free or I already paid for it, I suppose that little fact is irrelevant. Either way, please dont make the same mistake I did, and simply don't purchase from this guy.

Sidenote: it's 'weird' to see my engine off the engine stand! It's Saturday night, time to celebrate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

It seems as though this seller is still maintaining that I owe him shipping. He has also 'insinuated' that he is sending his Son-in-Law to 'pay me a visit as he lives in my area.... To which I responded, "Will it take him 2 weeks to get here too?"
But in all seriousness, I truly did have to file a complaint against him, and insist he not contact me anymore, or I would call the Police and take it as a formal threat (I don't know who or how crazy this guy really is). |
