Nice buy!

Looks like you have your work cut out for you but I love that you found an Original Owner car. Id love for my next Turbo to have a similar story as yours.

Where and when is the coffee and cars? Would love to start going to a few of those types of things

So the busy work continues before engine carrier and motor mounts this weekend.

1. Heater shroud. The 01 part is no longer available so have to use the revised version and trim the tabs that attaches to it. A 10 min job turned to 20.

2. Replaced fuel filter. Pulled the fuel pump fuse while running the day before and let it it overnight. A few ounces came out. Removed the old filter and let it sit on my mower fuel tank to drain.

Car would stutter and stumble on start up before. Now better for sure. Filter is from '94 so maybe replacement in '95 or '96. Easy job.

I have a dumb question. When replacing the fuel filter it shouldn't matter if you have a full tank correct? The fuel hose attached to the filter is the last hose I need to replace post engine build along with fuel filter so i'm just wondering.

chsu74

It does not matter what your fuel level is. Once the filter is installed, you can turn the key to position 2 and that primes the filter. I was not so patient and the motor cranked 2-3 seconds before running so not a big deal.

You just reminded me that i have to do my fuel filter as well...it's been around 40k-60k miles...

chsu74

I think the gallons per hour these cars consume may not require fuel filter changes every 40-60K miles. My turbo getting avg of 15mpg is a maybe every 50-60K miles.

This 964 needs the filter swap because of old fuel turning to varnish clogging fuel delivery. If your 964 still pulls hard and feels OK light throttle, then no need.

Mine is due. For sure.

Long day in Rob's garage.

Full fluid flush. Brake, gearbox and front diff including actuating PDAS.

Then followed by Rennline reinforced engine carrier and Wevo motor mounts.

Don't forget about the removal of the "car phone" and all it's wiring...lol (we thank Dave for that one).

chsu74

Yes.. Thank you Dave for removing the 90s convenience phone tech. Have to at some point remove that built in K40..

Turbo also received love yesterday.

Replaced belt sensor today and also one of the oil line worm clamps in the rear passenger wheel well. Only replacing those worm clamps as they "fall off" or you will end up with more than what you bargained with.

Buy these clamps at Home Depot for $.90/pc instead of $5 at NAPA.

Plugs and wires after tennis today. 51/50 Motorsports have the best price on all maintenance items.. Service is great to boot with a RL discount.
