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

hahahaa... if they only knew... I cleaned the driveway a bit then took a long @$$ shower and didn't sleep till about 4:30am then head to work at 9:30... yeah!!!!!!! wooot wooot.... Daym I was sore... Well, my manager was out working from home and its good we were not busy today..

Yeah...I didn't get to sleep till around 4am either. I was scrubbing grease and grim off myself for a long time. I wasn't too sore but I have a fair amount of cuts and bruises from the trans.

Nice guys! Glad to see you got it done Mark.

We have a ping pong table. We used to play all the time until it became a table for the snowboard stuff...hahaha. We were going to get a pool table, but we thought it would be a little loud.

Mixxer, thanks again for hosting. I got the airsaw from my friend (and an extra cutting blade just in case).

^Yeah...me too. I have a few things to put back together on it, but other than that it's all good. It also needs a clutch line bleed and I have to put in the tranny fluid. I might need help bleeding the clutch line cause I've never done it...is it easy?

Yup.. still down for the V6 swap

ping pong gets loud too when you get a good rally going back and forth stopping those mean-o shots... whooooooohoooooooo..... No problem, its going to be a good meet.

Daym colin, can't get that Joe's video out of my head lovehorsepower.com. Lets make a video just like that sometime... Maybe on the drop meet.

Yeah, need 2 guys for the clutch line bleed. One have to keep pumping from the inside and other guy under the car to open/close the valve. Pretty easy... For the tranny you need an oil pump or a funnel with a long hose so you can fill it from the top. Its hard to fill it from under the car.

So what? That doesn't matter at all. And we don't drive 2nd gens nor are you in the 1st gen category. MKII and MKI my friend.

Frankie, I was definitely scared of the trans falling on us!

Yeah...the trans was a little scary...but it wasn't too bad. You should have seen all four of us under the car freaking out at the same time when the trans slid down the jack
