I'm at it again...I decided the route I want to go with the car. I am going with an early model 914 style on my late model car. Basically, the changes between the early (70-73/4) model to the late (74-76) model are the engine sizes and some minor body changes. The main body change between the cars was the bumpers. As you can see in the first couple of pictures on this build, they are BIG and BULKY. They are heavy and cumbersome. So, I decided to remove the front today and start the process of retrofitting early model bumpers onto my car. These are the bumpers shown here:

I found that to use as inspiration on mine.

Here's the progress from today (I have had the ugly rubber part off the car for quite some time):
Starting the bumper removal

Bumper removed

Bumper and shocks removed - I weighed these parts and forgot to take a picture. The weight of these three parts is ~38 lbs and thats without the rubber bumper cover.

No moar 40+lbs of bumper on the front

and again


The 50/50 weight distribution is way off right now because I haven't removed the rear ugly bumper yet. Once I do this, the car will have dropped close to 90lbs off the front and rear of the car. Most people that have retrofitted the bumpers say that the biggest gain is in the corners as well as small gains in acceleration. Maybe once I drop a few lbs myself, the gains will be even better  ;D ;D

Well, after a few months of not being able to work on the car, today I got the car running correctly. The hesitation the car had was a pain in the ass. We tried everything from changing timing, replacing the distributor, ECU and everything in between. The only thing we didn't check until today was the throttle position sensor. Apparently, the TPS we replaced mine with was non-working and the one that was in the car was working. The car now has no hesitation, runs on all 4 and runs well. The car will be getting an exhaust upgrade in the next few weeks and hopefully the plasti-dip can be sprayed too.

 :) :) :) :)

Just got my injectors back from EvenFlow Solutions here in town and they cleaned and tested my injectors.
These are going back in this afternoon. The injectors look really good, too!

After what seemed to be a long day I feel that the car is running better than before. I went to a buddy's shop and started to trouble shoot some hesitation and shuttering that the car was doing. We pulled the diz and luckily he had another that we tried and it worked. We completely tore that one apart and cleaned the entire thing and reassembled and tried again.


While we were in there, we replaced the throttle position sensor and throttle body. Also managed to rework some vacuum lines that the PO hooked up incorrectly. After a clutch adjustment and some other misc. tweaking, all seems to be good with the car.

Jesse, do you do any body work? The strips down the sides of the car must go, as well as the circular turn signals...

This car has been an on-going project since I purchased it in Fall of '09. The car is a 1976 Porsche 914. This is very unique in the fact that it is a true mid-engine vehicle. It is currently stock (aside from wheels). I bought the car from a guy in Stillwater who's father purchased the car in the early '80's. The car was not perfect but was what I was looking for. The car is now officially running, after almost two years of ownership and maybe 30 days of actually running in that time. I have replaced the 35+ year old fuel lines with some new stainless steel and high pressure, Ethanol friendlier lines (the Type 4 engines do not like ethanol gas). The fuel lines were the biggest obstacle that has finally been overcome.
These are the pictures of the car right before I got it:









Since owning the car, I have swapped wheels, replaced sway bar bushings, shifter bushings and fuel lines. The more I drive it, the more power I wish it had. I am considering an engine swap in this car or a donor 914, in the near future.



The next major change the car is undergoing is going to be plasti-dip (the car will get a full paint job once I finalize the drivetrain).

Thinking a swap along these lines: http://www.etischer.com/914xt6.html

This is the info I found out...Apparently there are three days in Tulsa at three locations: http://www.tumblertour.com/post/22859654465/full-schedule-details-have-been-posted
After looking at the Tuesday show, it appears to be from 1pm-5pm...The other days (Wed & Thurs) doesn't have specific times.

Which day? Should we meet up before and head over there?
