Re: Back in beige
Thanks guys. Neil - I won't look back with any regret - it's just not how my brain works. I enjoyed it enormously and now it's time to try something else. Clive - I dragged a 71 914 shell out of the desert a few years ago. It has sat in the yard since. Nice, solid car, but had some front-end damage ...

Re: Back in beige
Hi all. Stake in the ground post - two days ago, after 13 years, two continents, 15,000 miles of driving adventures, the 912 went to its new owner. https://i.imgur.com/kezqP0rl.jpeg (Photo Doug Park) I sold the car through Paul Kremer at Autokennel in Orange County on the recommendation of a friend ...

Re: London Christmas Meal 14 Dec Carluccios
Was thinking of the the DDK Christmas meals I enjoyed at the Orange Tree (with Chris Turner at the helm) many years ago. Merry Christmas to you all - I hope you all have a great time

Re: Back in beige
Next time you are in the UK (we can dream of travel, right?) come and borrow my 69 S for a day or two... But your car is awesome, too. EFI mods are interesting, and seem to offer endless scope for tinkering (always a good thing!) Thanks for posting. Take care, wear sunscreen. R Thanks Richard, this...

Re: Back in beige
where are the pictures of the inevitable injuries you've sustained whilst 'tinkering' ? I managed to escape lightly on the EFI conversion. I am concurrently putting an LS3 in a 1992 Buick Roadmaster, and two days ago managed to sunburn my forearms arms whilst welding together the exhaust system. Th...

Re: Back in beige
Cheers Bruce, forgot to mention that. I'm going off the standard delay tables at the moment. I have a good baseline from the autotune - next thing is to go out with someone else driving and see if I can extract the last 10% with some manual adjustments.

Re: Back in beige
Joking. I'll do some nicer ones.
For now, here's some more crap ones. Wiring in the engine bay needs tidying up.

You asked for some nice shots of the car, so here it is at the post office earlier today.

Re: Back in beige
Well, I wasn't that impressed with the conversion. It ran pretty well straight out of the gate, giving the impression that it was already somewhat tuned. But it was a bit flaccid. Little did I know, I had one last step to complete... An explainer, for those that aren't into this silliness - there ar...

Re: Removing oil from garage floor suggestions
Tri-sodium phosphate, mixed with boiling water. Pour it on, let it dry back to crystals, then brush it off.
Works really well.

Re: Back in beige
You're posting pictures for me because I'm too lazy! I just got the air filters installed, so it looks like a complete engine again. I'll post some shots of the setup. My Innovate LC-2 wideband O2 kit arrives tomorrow. I need to weld a bung onto the exhaust to hold the sender. This is the updated ve...

Re: Back in beige
Got the car running this evening. It idles and revs pretty nice, albeit quite rich.
Next I need to fit a wide-band O2 sensor to the exhaust, put it all back together, and it's ready to take out and tune.

Re: Back in beige
Physical size and fewer features. I'm running two very rudimentary tasks - fuel and spark - so the functionality is absolutely fine for me.
That aside, Microsquirt is a sealed unit, which I like.
