I went to Subscriptions under CP and clicked last. It worked!

I was Zeke914 back then. I had a 914 race car under build. I have no idea what my first post was, but it was on the 914 forum. I use to do ShopTalkForums and the one (at the time) 914 Forum that ended up with Brad Roberts.

I have no idea what that world is up to these days. During those early days I used to host 914 gatherings here in Long Beach. Donuts and coffee. How novel, eh?

But, about the 3rd one I showed up in this ratty old 911 S. Game over.

i dunno. i seem to remember something about raw fuel spewing from my exhaust.

That worked!

My first post was in the Simple Question: Why a 912? thread!

:cool:

Geez, I was a FKIA even back in '02:

"I have a GA and a GC, both 2.0's. The GC case does not have an oil pressure control valve, whereas the GA does. Now some want to tell me that the lack of a control valve (not the pressure relief valve located on the bottom) is a bus motor. And others say that no valve means hydraulic lifters. I have strong reason to belive that both statements are false. First of all, the oil fill on the GC case is in the 914 position; secondly, this motor is a virgin and it has the real deal 2.0 heads complete w/ the EGR holes. So, I think Jake has it, case the same, oil system variations in later years."

Now who'd have thunk that? :D

BTW, the motor blew up on the 2nd lap of its first day at the track. So, yeah, I was a pretty smart cookie.

Wow, fun to check this out. My first post was when I first bought the car, a really simple problem of a dead brake light switch: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/191883-brake-lights-issue.html

It's amazing how much I've learned since then. When I bought my car, I deliberately bought an early car because I wanted to learn how it worked, and wanted to start simple. I literally had no idea what a carburetor was, or even how to change a fan belt. I knew absolutely nothing about cars. I'm still no certified mechanic, but I've learned a ton along the way.

2-17-2002 when I got my 912 Wow I have come a long way!

Found it. Apparently I helped some before I introduced myself.

Surprise, surprise, it appears I was selling a car!

I had found a complete but beyond restore 912 locally that I bought for dirt cheap, I ended up selling it to a nice gentleman from Wyoming who had several other 912s and wanted it for parts.

Trying to fix my AC... Ended up doing a compressor clutch, which has since been replaced again....


That was a few posts ago.... :D

It'll take some digging to find my entry to OT.
Edit....

It took 3 whole months for me to venture into OT! :eek:

started out with BMW motorcycle questions.

Did the same method as Kurt, as some of us "old-timers'" early posts aren't part of the current database...

First thread I started, was also the first time I was honored to "meet" Warren...man there are a lot of names that no longer post :(

Wow, reading what I posted makes me realize how little I knew when I was 19...

However my first post (apparently) was an hour and 14 minutes earlier here, with what was probably stating the obvious...damn kids :D

Turns out the rebuilt WUR was bad!!!

HA HA - that's pretty funny. My first post - June 8, 2001

I'd been doing quite a bit of searching - reading before - I had a 1990 C2 Targa and got the drift that it was the bastard child of the Porsche world (No fuchs, ugly bumpers and a Targa to boot!)

I didn't do it. :cool:

Really, fastpat, tabs and me in the same breath? ;) :D

I am so apolitical that I'm just white bread.
