It's time for the Ortega Run. I want to change the meeting spot, however. It makes it easier on newbies to find us. The new rendezvous point is the Home Depot parking lot. The Home Depot is located on Lake Shore at the intersection of the 15 and 74/Ortega Hi way/Central exit, NW quadrant.
Let's meet up 0630, depart 0645. Make our run thru the pass. Have breakfast at Denny's at the Ortega/5 intersection. Then the return leg. Maybe Eric will tailgate the two wheelers again.

EDIT: I see that the WX man is forecasting the wet stuff for Saturday so keep an eye on this post for updates. It might by a Friday nite call. If necessary, the run will be bumped to the 26th.

I should make it assuming i have no work!

Posted by: eric9144 Nov 9 2011, 12:43 PM

I should be in for this one too, unless I get off my @ss and start the brake project (see slackers thread)

Wow, 6:30am, with the time change that's going to be like sleepin in late!

Posted by: 914Bryan Nov 9 2011, 07:05 PM

Im in! Maybe this time my coil wont jump from the bracket and ground out the engine! HAHA!

Posted by: phatnine11 Nov 9 2011, 10:52 PM

Brian,
Is that what happened? I thought it was the hose from the PCV system that caused your problem. By the way, you are not the first person that has had the coil issue!

Isn't this usually when Enrique proclaims he will "be there"?

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Nov 10 2011, 02:03 PM

I'll be there in place of him.

Posted by: 76-914 Nov 10 2011, 05:42 PM

To tell the truth, It wouldn't surprise me one bit if you showed up Elliot. Now Enrique; well that's another story.

Posted by: eric9144 Nov 10 2011, 06:04 PM

Nearly 2 months since his last project update and the engine was already in the car

Posted by: 914Bryan Nov 10 2011, 07:04 PM

Yes, closer inspection later showed that the coil had vibrated about half way out of the bracket, and one of the connectors was making contact where it shouldn't of been. One of the other guys that I met that day (Joe?) said to put some inner tube rubber around the coil, tighten it down and I can forget it. I was contemplating mounting the coil to the firewall but as long as it stays put, it shouldn't be an issue.

BTW, the hose is getting a clamp on it too! HA!

Fingers crossed!!

Posted by: eric9144 Nov 18 2011, 08:07 PM

So what's the call? Weather is ify...

Posted by: 76-914 Nov 18 2011, 08:37 PM

Haha. I was looking for this thread on previous pages and here it is.
Anyway, I say go. Forcast is spotty if any showers. Chances increase as we get north of Orange Co and coastal areas. All in all it looks like it will hold north of us for the most part. That and we don't push it if the roads are wet. We won't get another chance this month. It just means I'll be in Whitey cause it has wipers Use your own judgement. If in doubt, park it. Otherwise, see ya'll @ home depot in the AM.

Posted by: Als914 Nov 18 2011, 08:57 PM

OK. Lew and I will see you there.

Posted by: silver74insocal Nov 19 2011, 02:01 AM

My street is dry. Leaving in 15 min's

Posted by: eric9144 Nov 19 2011, 08:41 AM

Sorry guys, had something come up last minute that I couldn't get out of...

Next time...

Posted by: 76-914 Nov 19 2011, 12:19 PM

You should have been there Eric. We had a newer Carrera pull over to let us around (after tailgating him for 5 miles) The weather Gods cooperated with the forecaster so we had dry roads for %90 of the ride. Next run time to be posted this week. It will be Rice Canyon or Idyllwilde if we get a snow that makes it worthwhile.

Posted by: Thestigz06 Nov 19 2011, 12:32 PM

Idyllwild!

Sorry i couldnt make it, i worked late last night and have another shift in two hours...
