Hi All
Not strictly ‘today’ but on Saturday I took ‘Lil Caesar’ out for a run to the Lakeland Car Museum for the local classic car club meet.
Nice folks and some very nice cars.

Very wet afternoon testing at Donington in the Boxster. Survived a 1080 degree spin at the Craner Curves when I hit a river….had the track pretty much to myself from mid afternoon as everyone went home!

I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.
Took the car for a drive to try out the new heater flaps, guess what, still getting hot air on the drivers side with new heater flaps with the flaps open, so heat off

No. Passenger side cool, drivers side hot. Pull lever up, both hot
Have you,checked the valve is actually opening / shutting the same as the passenger side with the hand lever up,or down ? End of the day the only way heat is getting in is through those 2 flexi hoses from the heat exchangers

I had this is mine. The flap in the heate box had overtime created a little ridge and wasn't fully closing when the lever was down, even though the spring was still fine. Needed taking off and cleaning up, and now returns properly.

Expansion air/oil breather tank fitted to my 914. Just waiting on the hoses to arrive to connect.
No more oil/hot air being pumped into the carbs
