Bob,
There isn't really a "club" just a some local Northern Indiana guys with the 914 sickness. 
Honestly I would like to see if there would be enough interest in maybe having a "cruz N" day every other month while the weather is good. For now all I can setup is the BBQ event at my house here in Portage.
As the date gets closer I will ask for for a head count so I make sure I have enough food and such. hope you can make it.

Red Arrow Run involved?
Posted by: JMKnight Aug 2 2011, 09:02 PM
yes why not!! I havent had the 914 out for a while. Portage is just down the road. Mary and I will make the trip to the party!!
Posted by: Razorbobsr Aug 3 2011, 05:38 AM
Strange?? I have 2 other car events that I COULD go to that day, normally I drive british cars for fun, but I am leaning North to Portage.......... If I get my 914 out of the shop, if the weather is close to good, and if I can get over the guilt that my british friends will lay on me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bob

Its Offical Brad Mayeur of 914 LTD will be attending. Here is a great chance to pick his mind. Brad is a great wealth on knowledge on 914s.
We could do that also. Take a drive up red arrow to Oinks in New Buffalo for some ice cream.
Bob, hopefully the guilt wont get to you. Hope you can make on up north.

Just saw this myself. The orange highlight threw me off. I usually skip over those because there's normally nothing close to me. I gotta check with the wife to see if I can get a porch pass.

I plan on being there as well! Hopefully in Calypso! I also have a 914 in need of being chopped. I know some had mentioned that this might be a fun event as well. Although it is ALWAYS a very messy affair...

I sent Bob a PM also, but figured maybe not every knows who Brad is. Besides being a very good friend of mine, Brad is a long time Porsche mechanic that has been working on 914s since they were new. He is the owner of 914ltd (309-694-1797) in East Peroia IL and was co-owner of Kauth and Mayeur German Autos. I have known Brad for many years and you will not find a more honest and genuine person than Brad. He knows his stuff. Bob bring your 914 and we will do our best to figure out your wiper problem.
I just wanted to say that this BBQ isn't just about eating and talking 914. It's also about making new friends. If you have parts you would lilke to sell bring them (if you have room), car needs minor work maybe we can fix it or at least get you going in the right direction. I have a mid rise lift and tools here.

Wow! A chance to meet and chat with Brad Mayeur. One of two or three 'quiet giants' of 914. No ego, just knowledge and experience. Add to that, the Midwest in the late summer... This should coax people from further away!
Have a great event!

I'll be there. Jury is still out if my wife and kids will come along.
I'm thinking installing my front stock sway bar might be a good small tech session! It's been sitting in a box for 2-3 years. Brad installed the mounts ages ago.

If you (or anyone else) is heading from the north/west to Garold's via 294, I would be more than happy to meet for caravan. I'm not far from the 127th and Cicero exit.
Posted by: GeorgeRud Aug 23 2011, 05:21 PM
Let's hope we have a Saturday without rain for a change! After 3 weeks of rainy Saturdays, we're due.
Should be a fun time!
Posted by: BigDBass Aug 24 2011, 11:35 AM
Looking forward to seeing you all. 
Also, my fellow midwesterners should all make plans to attend the MUSR event in Eureka Springs Arkansas. Only 10.5 hours from Chicago area and it will be a blast. Take a look at the official thread or the event website here: http://www.914musr.com/musr/
I'll bring some flyers to the BBQ in case anyone is interested, unless Garold vetoes this of course!
Posted by: Garold Shaffer Aug 24 2011, 11:46 AM
Veto??? I wouldn't veto that. I wish I could go, but already have plans to attend the SCCA RunOffs this year (watching, not racing) so my vacation time is used up.
See you guys Saturday!

Posted by: GeorgeRud Aug 27 2011, 02:45 PM
Thanks Garold for putting together a great BBQ and Midwestern 914 meeting. It was great to see so many old 914 friends, and also some great cars.
You even did a great job of ordering proper 914 weather, we could have thought we were in San Diego instead of Indiana.
Hope we can do this again sometime next year!
Posted by: gms Aug 27 2011, 05:46 PM

Looks like the BBQ was a big hit. A bunch of very nice cars parked there. I hate to say I would have really felt out of place with mine still up on jackstands. I gotta get my butt into the garage and get to work.
Posted by: GeorgeRud Aug 28 2011, 09:12 AM
I love all the photos, but I have to try to remember to take photos of the owners along with their cars!
Of course, I thought of this today after the event.
Posted by: hot_shoe914 Aug 28 2011, 02:00 PM
Looks like you guys had a great time. I'm kinda glad Christine wasn't operable as she would have looked so bad amongst all of those nice looking cars. Would be nice to see all of those cars at MUSR this year. Great photos.

Thanks so much for your hospitality, Garold and Julie!
And thank Nathan for me as well for keeping Maddie entertained! As we were driving home, she said "I think I made a new friend."
Posted by: 914ltd Aug 29 2011, 08:17 PM
Thank you Garold and Julie for putting on a great gathering of 914's and enthusiasts. The food and 914 conversation were excellent! As most of you know, I spend very little time on the web and I was surprised my name was even mentioned when I checked for information about the event Friday. I'm always happy to share information I've learned and also look forward to learning new things from others. The 914 community has to be one of the best auto fraternities out there. Looking forward to the next event! Brad

Location is my house in Portage Indiana just off the Indiana Tool road (Portage exit) and I-94 (exit 19).
Please PM me if you plan to attend so I can make sure we have enough food & drinks.
I have my midrise lift so we can do a little tech session again.
Will you be swinging by Lafayette on the way there?

Kid, u get home ok? Bob
I'm not sure if this is for me or not, but the rest of my drive was VERY smooth. 250 miles on half a tank. Gotta love the change in fuel economy going from dual carbs to FI!!

Mileage with carbs was 34-36 according to the odometer, but I was running non-stock tires. I think that's off by 80% or so, so 27-28.5 or so.
In the new car my tach was holding just over 3200 I think.

Mine was 3600 RPM at 70 MPH, but I have 195/45 tires and the engine works harder, I think. Comp tires?????? I want to go to something taller/softer riding tires. 45s just best an old mans bones UP. Bob

I think the engine works less hard actually, just has to work faster. I had Michelin tires on my old car, 205/60's and the ride was still rough because my suspension was so stiff. Maybe go to softer springs + maybe adjustable shocks?

Gerald, A belated thanks for the great event. You are a true enthusiast. I hope we can see more cars next year, although your neighbors were probably wondering where all the funny little cars came from.

One of the few times in life that stiffer, is not better! Bob
