So as the winter is here and we are getting ready for this new season of 914 fun, more importantly autocross, what have you got done so far.

Well, today was a busy work day for me but I was able to get a little done for my car. Mind you I did al of this in my suit.

Took the studs out of the old hubs and put them in the new. Pressed the new hubs into my new trailing arms. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Took apart two axles to get the shafts ready to be machined and put them into the parts washer.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Looks nice Jamie... I use to have those and they are very nice seats. Actually the most comfortable seats I had ever sat in. You can go on very long drives and your ass doesn't fall asleep.

I booked out time to go to the Porsche Parade this year. Do I get partial credit for doing something 914??

I have the needle bearing jobbies. The ride can best be described as supple.....even with stout springs. The suspension moves in sync with the undulations of the road.....I guess it's harder to describe than I thought....but your butt can tell the difference. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So the past two days I got a little done while dealing with some sick kids (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . I was able to get a few old axles taken apart and pieces I need off them for the 914/944/911 alxe hub deal I am doing. Got everything ready so I can cut the four mounts off. I was able to get the new rear control arms all together with everything on. Now I just need to put them on the car but not until I am done with all the cutting and all.

Well... you can feel everything. I have a toe-in issue on the passengers side; as an example. I can feel everything. I was actually looking for bumps and pot holes and, hard to explain but, I could feel the front suspension working.

I have Elephants on the 911 and I'll be installing FreeMotion on the 914. I expect similar results with the 914. I'm 50:50 on both applications.

While installing the bushings I was following both Chuck's directions and the factory manual. I was able to torque the backs (crossbar 19mm) to 65 ftlbs and then torque the fronts and retain a smooth motion of travel in the arm. Amazing to be able to operate your suspension a-arm with 1 finger.

I did the same on the rear of my 914 with the FreeMotion stuff. I'm getting the fronts powdercoated and they'll be next

I didn't do anything on my car this weekend. I had to go to Las Vegas and spend my time eating and drinking. I managed to get in a little slot time too. I'd share some of the photos of our other activities, but that would require this thread being moved to the sandbox!

New GTS seats got installed.....These are heated too. Gonna take the 12v from the relay board behind the driver seat. There are two connection posts and a relay for the rear window defrost.
