Have fun, its a gorgeous car

 

change the oil right now rock...your already over due w/ a fresh motor.

 

yessirr! man i miss cinci already

 

congrats rock! where are you living now? you should change oil a couple of times during break in period. i know with my engine oil was to be changed at 250, 500, 1000, 1500, and 3000. probably a bit different for your type of motor, but im sure it will need to be changed at least 2 or 3 times before break in is done. either way, oil is cheep, engines are not.. best to be safe.

 

Looking good Rocky! Glad to see it made it back alive and to VA. I'll be down sometime soon I hope, as long as the weather keeps nice i'll even bring the 951.

I beleive these are the engine pics you are looking for:

Immerse yourself in boost, son! Respect speed at your age and you will live long enough to drive the Carerra GT someday...I can feel it!

Hi all! I've got some more info on the car. I bought it in the summer of 1999 in Downey, CA. I was looking for something to use for a track car. My buddy had one and I wanted one. After I purchased the car I talked to my mechanic about costs for engine rebuilds and race prep I decided to convert my 914 into a 914-6 and turn it into a full-time race car. I loved the power of the 944 turbo so I kept it and used it for a while as my daily driver. After a short while I drove the car to Indy and parked it in my garage. I was living in LA at the time on a boat in King Harbor and had too many cars there. I bought the Boxster S wheels that are pictured on the car above and mounted them on the car about a year and a half later when I drove it back to LA. It was pretty much my daily driver again until it caught fire while driving it in Indy. I was less than a mile from my house when it caught fire. It looked a fuel line may have ruptured and sprayed fuel on the exhaust. It didn't take long to burn, but the fire department that was 2 1/2 blocks away couldn't respond to the call because they were already on a run, so another house had to make the call and they were 5 minutes away. It's nice to see the car up and running again. Good job.

Attached are a couple more pics.

 

Yummy pics!! Thanks a bunch sean!!!!!
