Only one! replacing Marks clutch in his red one. Hey frankie, is that red car in your pics a 93? Nice pics BTW

masagsxr · 02-09-2009, 11:52 PM

Yeah davis u did a lot, we all did.... I'd take the advice on other threads (drop the whole motor down)... We just need to drain the radiator and also take the clutch line off. Its easy to bleed those lines after putting back on

Well for the drop meet, we ain't working on cars no more after sun down aight guys???? hhehehehe

xltinlx · 02-10-2009, 12:01 AM

damn clutch, hope mine is still good for a few years

honda_bar · 02-10-2009, 12:06 AM

I would assume you have an egr. That is assuming you have a cali car. should look like this and should be visible when you look into the engine bay. About 3/4 size of a hockey puck?

yeah...it's a 93 na. he got it for alittle bit over $6,000. i think he over pay.

xltinlx · 02-10-2009, 12:44 AM

i forgot to say, berk tech sent me a 10$ discount, anyone want me to forward it to them? post ur email lol... $10!!! yes!

Mark_Dorman · 02-10-2009, 01:37 AM

^Haha...I need to not spend money right now.
______________

So yeah...the whole dropping the motor advice...everyone should take it. If anyone's clutch goes out you might just wanna pay to have it done...that was the biggest headache ever!

Every car we work on at the lowering meet is gonna be easy in comparison.

Here's some pictures...just look at mixxer's face...no bueno!

Look at the heat checks (as Davis called them)

Here's them side by side...

And here's Davis kicking me in the crotch!

xltinlx · 02-10-2009, 01:46 AM

davis loves the crotch

Davis · 02-10-2009, 01:46 AM

It's what everyone calls them! haha.

You should know Tin.

OMG if I had the money....

1976 Porsche 914

Mark_Dorman · 02-10-2009, 01:51 AM

^I like the 911 better...

Davis · 02-10-2009, 01:54 AM

I <3 914s

Ben · 02-10-2009, 02:02 AM

That looks safe - pulling a tranny with sandals on!

honda_bar · 02-10-2009, 02:11 AM

its all good, we were really careful of everyones safety. Ben, been saying this for a while but, I'm just waiting on some government money and some switches from the uk to arrive, then we complete my ride

masagsxr · 02-10-2009, 02:12 AM

... was actually thinking about that the whole night... Didn't wanna go down there but things need to get moving.. Besides, the tranny was already down and we are well aware of avoiding things drop on our facec when 3 of us was under there...

Davis · 02-10-2009, 02:12 AM

Bennn!! I miss joo.

honda_bar · 02-10-2009, 02:15 AM

Wow davis, that is funny. I had just spent a half hour doing research on the 928 gts and the 944s. I would consider buying one in the semi new future... This was a great right up. I should check under mR2

oh yeah 914s... they are light as a feather. I used to like em too I just don't want to spend the $$$ to restore one

Mark_Dorman · 02-10-2009, 02:39 AM

928 and 944 = Front engine Porsche = Not that great...

At least the 914 is mid engine. They're fun cars...just not a fan of the styling.

Dude...I didn't realize how much crap fell on my face while I was under the car till I got home and looked in the mirror. No wonder people at the gas station were looking at me funny

Davis · 02-10-2009, 02:43 AM

How can you not like it?

My master tech has one that he races. He painted it with a John Deere color combo.
