Hey, Yous guys ever take some back roads up to Tahoe? If you ever think about it, shoot me a call or emaill and I'll grill up whatever you can throw down

I'm thinking of inviting the BMW 2002 club.

Posted by: nebreitling Mar 14 2005, 12:54 AM

hmmm, i'll be needing to put some miles on the new engine, so i might be able to make it.

Posted by: McMark Mar 14 2005, 01:03 AM

Yeah!

Posted by: McMark Mar 14 2005, 01:46 PM

Hey, I just remembered. Andy you can get your clear rear window from me. Mueller if you're coming you can bring the tinted rear window and my MPS.

good idea

mueller > McMark = 1 rear tinted window, 1 MPS

McMark > Mueller = 1 side reflector (drivers side) and front turnsignal seal if you have one

Mueller > SirAndy = rest of needle bearing kit

SirAndy > Mueller = modified MPS

McMark > SirAndy = clear rear window

SirAndy > McMark = broken laptop

EDIT: Had to add to your list Mueller.

Posted by: lapuwali Mar 14 2005, 02:45 PM

I'll probably show up, but it won't be in a Porsche of any description, just an air-cooled wagon...

Posted by: McMark Mar 14 2005, 03:11 PM

I have officially invited the BMW 2002 club.

Time for some grudge match. Hopefully more 914s show than '02s.

I've also updated the original post with location info.

Mark,
would it be ok with you to send an email to the RoadGlue group?

Posted by: Dave_Darling Mar 14 2005, 03:41 PM

I think I may have something I am doing that day. If not, I will definitely try to make it!! Mmmm, Napa valley in the spring...

--DD

Posted by: RoadGlue Mar 14 2005, 04:33 PM

I'll be there! I'll probably take the Fiat sedan (looks a lot like a BMW 2002) or I'll ride along in a friend's 914.

Best,

Randy

Posted by: jkeyzer Mar 14 2005, 04:38 PM

I will try to make it, don't know if my 914 will be off jackstands by then or not...

It is getting a WCC-induced freshening up including 4 new Bilsteins, 4 new rubber brake lines, new front wheel bearings and seals, new brake pads, front alloy S caliper rebuild (both were leaking), new SS caliper pistons, new front rotors, new turbo tie rod kit, brake tee replacing prop valve, cooling flaps under the body, and a few other things too.

I did all 4 shocks, brake lines, the brake tee, and took off the tie rods this weekend and I am sooooore.

PS. I think BMW 2002s are cool.

Posted by: ppickerell Mar 14 2005, 05:07 PM

Anyone planning a post lunch fun run?

Posted by: McMark Mar 14 2005, 06:19 PM

We can set up a fun run impromptu. I know all the fun routes. Glad to see the guest list increasing.

Patrick, will your sons car be there?

Seems like a good enough reason to take a drive if I have nothing else going on that day.

Can my dog come with me?

Posted by: ppickerell Mar 15 2005, 05:17 PM

Mark,
I think that he will probably make it. We are getting the brakes done on his car this week. Love that run out to Berryessa!

Posted by: McMark Mar 19 2005, 01:32 PM

Mark, I'll try to make it so we can finally talk. Maybe with my sketches too...

Care if I invite "my" Porsche V8 group?

Posted by: McMark Mar 19 2005, 04:44 PM

Bring 'em on. We're all car guys. My only worry is not having enough food. But I guess we can always send somebody to the store.

I can make up some patty meat if you like (BURGERS!).

We grind our own out of London Broil and mix bacon in :-) Love the kitchenaid.

Hey Mark,

Posted by: McMark Mar 21 2005, 03:51 PM

Hmmm, you're in luck. I had one hidden away in one of my cars trunks. I'll bring it for ya.

In a few months when it's North Bay lunch time again we'll do a swap meet.

Mark - I plan on coming up, bringing #1 son. I have a commitment until 10 am, should still make it by 11-ish. Can I bring anything? Pasta salad or som'thin' ?

Cool! I'm looking for a cheap late wiring harness. Doesn't have to be perfect, just mostly there. I need another one to make sure I can make one complete modified one. Also looking for a rear defrost switch, or alternatively a fog light switch. Both have to be cheap as I'm financially embarassed right now

If anyone is looking for 2.0 bus heads or heater blowers, I've got those.

Expect me to arrive around 11:00, and I'll bring something edible.

Posted by: McMark Mar 22 2005, 11:44 PM

I'll have burgers. Anything else is up to you all. Weather forcast is looking promising.

Posted by: Dave_Darling Mar 23 2005, 01:44 PM

Aaah, crap. I'm out. Too much going on that day, if you can believe it.

Posted by: neo914-6 Mar 24 2005, 12:33 AM

Posted by: RoadGlue Mar 24 2005, 03:28 PM

I'll still be there. I'm not quite as whipped as the rest of you! (ok, maybe I am, but she's working on Saturday)

Posted by: Mueller Mar 24 2005, 06:54 PM

I'm going to have to bail out ......got to work on Sat. (and Sunday but I'll take a few hours off for the family brunch )

If the weather is decent, I will drive my 914 from Antioch to Fremont....55 miles one way to work...luckly I have AAA with the 5 free 100 mile trips per year plan....I hope not to use them up

I'll have to put in about 10 hours worth of work tommorow, so those burgers better be good for a what appears to a 4 to 5 hour lunch break, hahahaha

What do you need people to bring? I can stop at the grocery store on the way out.

Posted by: McMark Mar 26 2005, 11:04 AM

I've got burgers und sodas. Other than that, it's a free for all/pot luck.

Posted by: anthony Mar 26 2005, 11:52 AM

Do you have all the stuff that goes with burgers? - buns, lettuce, condiments, paper plates, etc?

Posted by: McMark Mar 26 2005, 07:08 PM

Thanks to everyone who showed up.

1. Fiid
2. Erick (non 914er, friend of Randy W.)
3. Matt P.
4. Marty
5. Jeff K. and Miss
6. Ben and Miss

I know I'm forgetting somebody..

Fiid and Jeff were taking pictures. It was a good time. Took a few people out on test drives in my car and fixed Matt P's high idle issue (eventually).

Thanks McMark for the burgers. Nice to see your shop and projects. Good to meet some of the 914club people. May need your help with the motor mounts on the red 914 at the bbq. Let me know if you can help. Thanks, John VS

Posted by: Mueller Mar 26 2005, 10:36 PM

was that a 914club event or a damn Subaru gathering

Posted by: McMark Mar 26 2005, 10:45 PM

Yeah, it took awhile, but we finally went from 2 914s and 3 subarus, to 5 914s.

Posted by: plas76targa Mar 27 2005, 12:12 AM

I've got to say this here, loud and clear. This club rocks. I go up to Mark's to eat burgers and be with other 914 folks and Mark ends up spending practically an hour chasing the high idle my car had. He found three culprits that were adding to the idle problem. Two were plastic connections 1 at the AAR and the other attaching to the air plenum. we're curious what the part numbers are for those two. and the last item was large hose pcs from the plenum to the air runners. idles fine all the way home.

AND Mark fixed the adjuster nut on my new stock mirror (added to the pass side)

Great guy and great 914 crowd today!

Thanks! Mark!!!

Matt P

Posted by: McMark Mar 27 2005, 12:17 AM

Glad you could make it Matt. There's a thread with yer part numbers. I don't know how that connecting hose slid off. Keep an eye on it and maybe throw some hose clamps on that one if it still seems loose. It ain't a perfect solution, but it's somethin'.

Posted by: anthony Mar 27 2005, 12:17 AM

Where were all the San Jose 914s? Oh, I forgot they can't drive their cars more than 5 miles.

Next month we should do a drive. How about a repeat of the Baker Beach to Petaluma/pizza run? That was awesome. I hear Mines Road is good too.

Posted by: McMark Mar 27 2005, 12:21 AM

Now that my car is running I'm all for a drive.

did you guys go for a run after lunch ?

Posted by: McMark Mar 27 2005, 11:37 AM

No we didn't. I learned that you need to have a firm schedule with these sorts of things. So the whole group didn't arrive until about 1:00-1:30, and people were still hanging around at 3:30-4:00. Live and learn.
