Re: 914 2.0 > 3.0 GT Conversion

I think they call this a thread resurrection! The journey is never over and it's time for a well overdue update. Although not an update I wanted to do. Since hitting the road with the finished car it hasn't all been good. In fact, I've had very little enjoyment out of it since completion and sadly I...

4712906019 no longer exists Andy, it was cut up for parts a few years ago.

No idea on other one unfortunately.

Re: 914 2.0 > 3.0 GT Conversion

Opportunities to get out are obviously few and far between right now, but there's no harm in extending an essential trip, is there :wink:

Re: Wanted : Sill covers / rocker covers GRP or metal

I have a pair Jon but one will need some welding to make good around the jack post hole. Don't remember exactly the condition I'd need to check them out. They've survived a couple of clear outs so I'm sure they're usable :lol:

Let me know if you're interested and I'll grab some photos.

Re: 914 2.0 > 3.0 GT Conversion

It turned out there was actually more wrong with the car than initially thought although nothing too serious. After the carbs were rebuilt again the car went to the rolling road but things didn't go to plan and it was discovered the distributor wasn't at all well. With what we're all facing now the ...

Re: 914 2.0 > 3.0 GT Conversion

I got the good news today all is good with the car and it was my shoddy work on the carbs causing the issue :lol: I've never been more relieved knowing it was just something I'd done wrong. The car is now off for a rolling road tune later this week and then back home, just in time for the imminent a...

Re: 914/6 Clutch, throttle and speedo cables

I just used a single P clamp I attached to the bottom of the engine somewhere if i remember rightly. They then snaked quite nicely under the engine. Sorry I don't have the car here with me, I'd take a photo if I did.
