Wait, how do you delete a post?

Click "edit", then go to the little drop-down menu that says "published", click it, select "deleted", then click the "delete" button that appears.

I'm on mobile, so no luck. I'm just changing them all to my blog only

All gone, next time it will be a proper photo dump. Thanks for being so tolerant and giving me a chance to fix it rather than deleting my privlages

No worries. We're a lenient bunch.

On a new topic, I'm going to take a guess that you have a porsche 914-6. Is it like a late 70s lotus Elise?

Fred Smith > Dsscats

It's a non-6 914, so it's more like a late 70s Lotus Elise being powered by Fred Flinstone, but yeah, it's still pretty light, fun and awesome. Also, it doesn't currently have an engine in it, lending more credence to the Flinstone theory.

What is going on with the engine? Is an SBC swap in the works?

Fred Smith > Dsscats

Unfortunately, not yet. At the moment, it's just a struggling gearbox to blame.

Dsscats > Fred Smith

Auto or manual?

Fred Smith > Dsscats

Manual. It's, at it's heart, the same dogleg 5 speed gearbox that's in every early 911 (nicknamed "901" because, unlike every other 911 part, the gearboxes never changed their serial number to reflect the change in the name of the car itself), but there's far too many different types of "901"s and I've yet to find one that fits onto my engine in the area.

So what is going wrong with it? Is it just quitting its job shifting :p?

Fred Smith > Dsscats

It still shifts fine, but whenever I go from 3rd to 4th it sounds like I'm trying to pull it out of 5th without using the clutch at 140
