Let's do lunch at fudruckers. I love their burgers, and Brian and I never make it up there unless we're going to an A's game after work, and we're always in a rush with no time to stop for food. I'll bet McMark will second my suggestion.

I'm in.

I'll leave Saturday afternoon for SD. I plan to be in town all week finishing up more loose ends. This will be a good way to end the week.

According to Yahoo Yellow Pages, there are Fuddruckers in:

E-ville, on Bay St.
Union City, at Union Landing (880 near Whipple, not far from PartsHeaven)

in the East Bay, unless you go all the way to Concord/Walnut Creek, or into Dublin.

Union City sounds nice for lunch, and access looks easy. The one in E-ville doesn't look like it's easy to get to, but I don't know the area very well.

Unless someone else chimes in, I'd vote for 11:30 at the Union City Fuddruckers. We can beat some of the lunch rush, and some people will just turn it into "brunch".

Looks like we have 5 right now...

I would be there but the GGR time trial instructors are having our annual preseason meeting (same day) to discuss the upcoming TT season. Expectations of the program and discussions about various issues, related to students and instruction.


Any of our contingent planning on participating in our TTs or HSDS this season?

I hope to get to an HSDS this year at least once. I was all set last year, did the ground school and the tech and then 2 days b4 thunderhill I got an attack of diverticulitis...and the doc said NO WAY... ahh maybe I'll be luckier this year....

Posted by: lapuwali Jan 11 2006, 06:42 PM

Hmm. Looks like we're 2 for lunch (Jenny/McMark), 3 for breakfast, and at least 1 (me) that would do either one. Sounds like DD would prefer breakfast, too?

So, those who are interested in coming, state your preference as to lunch at Fuddrucker's at 11:30, or breakfast at IHOP at 9:14 (there's one in Hayward, not far from 880/238).

However the votes tally by Monday the 16th will decide the issue...

I'd do either, but I have a slight breakfast preference. I would rather do something that isn't IHOP too, but I realise that that might not be doable. Any ideas?

I looked for a Stacks in the East Bay, but they don't have any. I'm certainly open to suggestions. I don't know the East Bay very well. If someone has a better idea, speak up.

You guys are a bunch of fudrucker nazis.

So I guess it's shaping up to be breakfast. IHOP doesn't have the *best* food, and actually, I don't really like the setup of that particular hayward IHOP. The whole group gets divided up into different tables and booths. But a place like Stacks would be an hour's wait, at least. Maybe someone can call ahead with a head count and get them to arrange some tables together. IHOP's, that is.

It looks like the group is largely leaning towards breakfast. I could do either but breakfast would help keep the rest of the day productive.

Original pancake house is yummy. Never been to the one in Fremont, but the one in Los Altos was great. Horrible parking, but great food. Maybe someone in the area can do a fly-by to scope out the parking situation in Fremont. And I'd highly suggest calling in ahead.

that's not good.....especially since it was like 50° or colder this morning....

Posted by: fiid Jan 20 2006, 04:38 PM

The heat from the headers is boiling the coolant in the engine>radiator tube before the thermostat is open... This causes it to blow a hose and everything to turn to sh!t.

Was running REALLY nicely before that though.

Posted by: lapuwali Jan 20 2006, 05:14 PM

Instead of wrapping the headers, wrap the radiator line, and perhaps fabricate a metal shield between this tube and the exhaust. Header wrap tends to retain water, so you'll just rust your headers out more quickly if you wrap them. The rad line isn't going to rust.

If you still have the dangling air deflector bits on the bottom of the car, get rid of them. You want lots of airflow from under the car into the engine bay.

that, my friend, does not make any sense ...

without the deflectors, NO air will ever go from the bottom into the engine comp. never. unless you add some sort of scoop under the car.

now, *with* the deflectors, you create underpressure behind them which in turn SUCKS hot air from under (or in fiids case OUT) the engine comp.
which generally is a gud thing ...

i'd vote for keeping the deflectors.

hey fiid, if 'ya still got the rain tray on your engine lid, try taking that off ...

Fiid, what car are you taking? Methinks I can fit maybe 2 or 3 wheels in the trunks. Unless you're taking the subie and want to follow me back down to South San Jo.

Wait, if Jon goes, I can maybe persuade him to cart the wheels and tires up for me.

Posted by: fiid Jan 23 2006, 07:19 PM

if you're bringing wheels I'll bring the wagonholio!

I've been sick and busy replacing toilets this weekend so I've sadly made no progress since my coolant busting escapades last week.

-----------

As for wrapping - my headers are stainless steel so no rust worries. I think you're correct that I also ought to protect the cooling line. I'm worried about the engine bay heat for other reasons though - theres another cooling line about, and the air intake and having things be cool would be good for everything. Also - the megasquirt is in there - and that has a fairly specific operating heat range.

I think Andy's point about the flapper jobbies is pretty much on the monay... Mine were removed when I put the cooling lines in - so I think I might experiment with putting them back in to create a little more downward airflow.

Ultimately I want to do a diffuser tray under there - so the flapper jobbies will probably have their days numbered from the beginning.

Except none of these are ENGLISH, they're Latin.

The English plural of aquarium is aquariums, the Latin plural is aquaria.

The English plural of vertex, however, is vertices.

They have the "Dutch Baby" pancake!! But it takes a long time to cook... It's cool, though--it is baked, and crawls up the sides of the pan forming a bowl shape. You put butter, powdered sugar, and lemon juice on it--yummy!! I can actually make those myself nowadays, but that was one of my ultimate breakfast treats when I was younger.

Be on the lookout for this guy. Our west coast wayward friend, Leo Imperial.

We slightly flared the rear quarters and got new rubber on his 914 today and he's bolting his car tow setup on later tonight. Towing the 914 with his Lymon colored VW van. Air cooled towing air cooled. =-)
Cool.

Sorry but, as a disiplinary tactic, I will not let myself to go to anymore get-togethers until my 914 is on the road again.

Quite a successful event. Something over 20 people showed up, and it didn't rain on us. Everyone seemed happy with the new venue, which had plenty of parking, was fairly easy to get to, and the food was good.

I'm sure photos are forthcoming.

It was a great get-together, good to see everyone. Nice to have a chance to say goodbye to Leo and Elvis, gonna miss those two. Got a chance to talk to several folks and my "torsion bar tool" is still working and is available for loan if you have trouble with the rear trunk bars. Mister Silker is in current posession... Nice to have a chance to catch up with everyone. And I did get rained on after I got on the west side of the bay. Not too much and only for 15-20 minutes. If you are a member within striking distance of these events and haven't been to one....quit screwing around and get to one....they are a kick.

Hey, Jim! Thanks for the use of the trunk spring bender torsion bar tool thingy. It works like a charm. When I got home nobody was here so it was a perfect time to try it out and set aside a few honey-do's. I applied a bit of caution not wanting to lose fingers or end up staring at the sky like DD when he tried to fix his trunk hinges.

Your tool works great and with a little side pressure from a pry bar, it's not too tough to get the spring in position and replace the roller. Now, instead of a tired trunk lid that's droopy on one side, this thing stands up smartly just like we did when we were teeners. For some of us, that was a while ago.

Thanks again for the use of the tool and I'll get it back to you at the next local event.

The breakfast today was fun and a good sized crowd in attendance. It was also good to make contact with Kim Knutilla, Mike Muller, Stan, Jenny & Brian, Olav & Patricia and Jon & Deanna and get an update on all of the 914 and family happenings.

We really have a good group here.

It's an amazing car. 40k something original miles. Probably one of the most original cars out there.

Sure it's not 140K miles?
40K just seems so low it's almost a miracle. That's like 1300 miles a year!!

At 140K that would be about 5K miles a year which is still ultra super low miles.

The car does look awesome though and the engine is clean from what I saw.

I believe he is asking $10K.

My '74 has 68K original miles. the PO's kept the stack of registrations back to the original owner. Looks like they'd drive it a few K miles, it'd break down and get parked. they'd sell it. New owner woudl fix it and drive it a few more thousand miles. It'd get parked for several years. It'd get sold again. Driven and parked for several more years...

Last owner rbuilt the engine and the night before it got put back in it was stolen from his car port with transaxle.

He got frustrated and that's when I saw the craigslist ad.

I think it still had original tires as they were really dry and cracking.

Wow, that is amazing then.



Sounds like a good candidate for concours!

Haven't read my progress thread yet? It's far from stock.

No concourse here.

Posted by: McMark Jan 29 2006, 01:57 PM

I'm pretty sure he said 47k. Not 147k. Low low low miles.

I am sure he is asking more than that, but Tom is a reasonable guy and not greedy. The car is gorgeous, unabused and original. He is only selling it because he loves these cars and out of respect for a car this special, wants to find a different car to abuse....

That's just what he told me yesterday when I asked him. He's looking to get a six cause he wants more horse power.

Hi all:
Yessir, it was a great time - glad it didn't rain! It was good seeing all the regulars and meeting new (to me) folks too!

"Ol' Yeller" is $10K firm and has 44,8XX original miles on it; three owners ago it was stored for 10 years. All the hoses etc. have been replaced and it has been driven regularly. I could have modified it but its in such nice shape I thought that would be a shame and being a CA car with the smog requrements, that also limited my options. I did enter is in the Palo Alto Concours and it got a lot of attention - it was a juried concours so the competition was very stiff - I was the only 914. It did win a Zone 7 PCA concours at the end of last season though.

Anyone interested, please PM me for details and I can send you the info I drafted up on the car.If a buyer wants the five original steel wheels (refinished by Harvey Weideman) with like-new period rubber, those will be extra.

Thanks for the props Jeff!
Later,

Edit: details now in classifieds at: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=20&t=45213

Tom, sorry I forgot to look at your car. I got to talking with Jeff, and then Andy started pressuring me to get to the shop so we could work on his car. Yeah, that's it, it was all Andy's fault. Anyway, it's worth noting that you're car is a factory non-catalytic converter car.

I guess I should check the site more often than I have been recently. I didn't know about the breakfast until my dad told me the night before and I didn't know Sherryl had the twins until about 2 minutes ago. That being said, I'll be there next time, and congratulations, Mike and Sherryl!

We should all just bring starbucks cups with us. Empty ones. Hidden. And once we've all sat down and started ordering food, everyone bust out their starbucks disposable/travel mugs and order coffee to be poured into them. And then we'll all sit around sipping out of our $4 coffee cups and insist how good expensive coffee tastes.
