KITT FTW
Finally getting the engine dialed in. I had to lean out the brain a couple clicks, and it’s running like a top now.
I also got the chance to install the bushing replacements for the rear sway bar. The mount plates were a real hassle, but I got them swapped out with new ones. The drop link busings took a little more effort. I know the bars are aftermarket Weltmeister (sp?), and the bushing set I got was from the same company. Unfortunately, The busings were tapered and were too big for the links. I had to fabricate a mandrel and turn them down on the lathe. It took some wrestling, but I got the drop liks done as well, and the rattle is no more. I honestly cont remember the last time the 914 sounded this solid.
This stuff is awesome. I finally got to try it out today and all I can say is Wow. In a light rain, you almost don’t need to use the wipers. And the faster you are driving, the less rain you see. It just hits and is gone.
I have to mod my wipers though. They rest to the left on the stock setup. That’s not really a problem most days, but the right side wiper slings rain to the left when it returns home. Maybe I’m just wired funny, but I find water going sideways when it normally doesn’t is kind of distracting. There’s a mod article on Pellican that switches the home position over to the passenger side. I’ll have to pull a bunch of stuff out of the tank compartment to get to the wiper assembly, but what the hell, right?
“Amazing Pilot” ??? I’m betting he shit his pants…
