Mike's car is sharp and will be killer when he adds the six this summer. Anyone happen to notice what a nice car John and Laurie have?

I want to thank Joe for being such a great host.
I also want to thank the guys that helped me sort out my dizzy: Clayton, Brando, Jeff, Brad, Matt, Craig and anyone else that lent a hand.
The car ran great on the ride home and I really appreciate the help!
Thanks,
Joe

A HUGE THANK YOU to Joe for putting out alot for this bbq
Waide sure got a nice car
Twistit1 and Brando worked on cars all day and night mostly on Beanie's car solving issues
They sent him on home running better than when in came
Had a blast meeting people and seening alot of beautiful cars
Posted by: Brando Feb 19 2006, 02:35 AM
I think the best quote of the evening was bennie saying "hey, it's different with throttle control!"
I had a great time. Thank you Joe Sharp for putting on the best get togethers. And all the other guys, you know who you are, who keep my enthusiasm with this group high and alive.
The most fun I have is working other peoples' cars rather than my own. Keep bringin' `em, we'll keep fixin' `em.
Posted by: cbenitah Feb 19 2006, 02:39 AM
now its my turn to sort out the day... NOT GONNA BE EASY,
k, came up on 3 strong cylinders doing 50-55 uphill.. didnt think more about it, its been like that since i got it.. Met some very nice people (new friends) and then I was waiting for one of those tasty burgers.. -HEY, arent you the swede running on three cylinders? (clayton, dont know your name here..) yepp, thats me, he gets his toolbox and say, dont just stand there, lets fix it!
getting help from so many (strangers) in one day is overwhelming, everyone who knew something pitched in, got iit running on 4 after a while, new plugs and some handy crafts on my hoses... GREAT! it ran awesome (although when aaron gave me a ride in mike's car.. WOW!!!!!!) then we started to get into some issues, ran on 4, ran on 3, ran on 2.. not at good sign.. well it ended up running on 3 1/2 which is great.. then my throttle cable or something broke.. (a bushing you said?) then it was time for me to do my first time ever work on my car.. may sound strange owning a 914, but i never tried really. I got so much help with both my car and do some work on my own today!
Thanks to all the guys and gals that were there. had a great time...
sorry joe for taking up your driveway and leaving marks 
oh, sorry for those parts i "stole" they were handed to me i swear 
hahaha,
sorry for the long post, just had an amazing day with some pretty knowledgeble guys!!
thanks
Cris ( I know clayton, i have red hair, im swedish its ok!)
almost forgot, I made it home, driving 75+mph in those mean uphills.. it all went good, and my headlights only went out 5 times,, which is not bad..

any info on those headlights?
Posted by: Howard Feb 19 2006, 09:39 AM
Jeroen, talked to the owner a bit. Whether you like the styling or not, this is one super car. Example.. After raising the belt line in the back, he thought stock door looked funny, so he sectioned it and added about 2" at the rear so it 'met' the rear fender better. Also note modified windshield rake. Did all the work himself!!

I bought a bunch of V-8 parts from Doug (owner of that car)
He's very detailed and did a great job. I'm thinking of taking my V-8 car to his painter. They did all the final body work and it is fantastic.
Those headlights are custom made. It's a cool ride.
Good job Doug!!

If he's a club member what's his ID, I'd like to add him to the conversions list? I've seen early pics years ago on the old Porschev bbs. I'm glad he finished it.
How much did his paint cost?
Nice work, did he roll up his windows? Im curious how the plexi holds up...

That car is tight!
What are the blue-green-orange buttons for beside the shifter?
Any news on the brakes and suspension?
Anyone go for a ride in it want to describe it?
How did it sound?
That's an incredible job. Rear trunk is outrageous. Love it.
That thing should be in Excellence (I guess V8's would be disqualified) or some magazine it's so rad.
Posted by: Headrage Feb 19 2006, 03:41 PM
I took a good look at it and can only say that the quality of workmanship and attention to detail were probably better than new cars get today. It was put together very well.
As far as the looks, well, let's just say that it's not my cup o' tea.
Doesn't seem to have much 914 left in it.

Posted by: Howard Feb 19 2006, 06:04 PM
He hasn't had the windows cut yet. Combo of modified door and W/S rake will make it a very custom job. Engine sound is like a 360 Modena on steroids. I think extra buttons activate FLIR and AEGIS systems.

Joe and Linda - Thanks for hosting such an awesome BBQ!! It was great to meet so many people while we were there.

I'll post some pics when I get some time tomorrow. Again, it was great meeting everyone.
Mike - to copy Aaron, HUGE thanks for the ride in your car. It makes me wish my conversion would be done sooner!

LvSteveH and I spent the night at a nearby motel. Sunday morning - the drive home.
Vegas is north/east - so I headed south/west on Hwy 1.
We cruised the coast and stopped for breakfast with the beautiful people, joggers and dog walkers.
Before we got to Mexico, I turned east for a run up The Ortega Highway.

Cris,
Was really glad that you got you 914 running good; it really caps off a good bar-b-que to see another 914 running and a happy owner.
When I went though similiar problems several years ago, and before the 914world.com was established, it was very depressing. It's great to see others don't have to go through that.
Keep the faith, enjoy the 914, and keep your AA current.

thanks for your help too.. you made me almost change the speedo cable bymyself.. (btw, the steering wheel is twisted, im driving sidewyas now)

Mere thanks from me to Joe are simply not enough. But I'll say it anyway, Thanks Joe! He let me wake him up at midnight so I could crash in his house, took me to Donut Derilects in the morning, bought me breakfast, handed me tools and parts as I bellowed for them as I dirtied his driveway, and fed me some great food. You sir, are a man among men.
Saw some old friends and met some new ones. And what a collection of sweet 914's!

There is a car in there somewhere. After all this it turned out that the tires just needed a little air.

Now tell the truth......This image is of Waide when he found out that a 914 has a parking brake and that the car was not underpowered! 
Brad Roberts was laughing when he told me..."I wonder how long it will take for him to find out his parking brake is on?"

Hi Ferg, sorry to hear about your selling your beautiful car. Yeppers with the new toy, translucent colors. Didn't turn out bad at all. So you will be without a car next RRC. I'll let ya drive mine. Won't be anything like the badass car you just sold tho, but will still be fun.....

Hi all....
Looks like Joe and Linda had another great party! Sorry I missed it...I was in Vegas and *Vegas Racer* was in my neck of the woods
What's up with that, John??? 
And Trojanman and Laurie and John were there too....and Birgit and Brad...damn, I picked (well I didn't have a choice) a bad weekend to have to go to my daughter's volleyball tourney in Vegas, which BTW was f-ing cold!!!!!
And I missed the regulars, especially Toast, Howie, A-aron, Matt, Skline, Joe Buckle (sorry if I am missing anyone) ....did anyone notice if Slits did his ironing?
Anyway, if Joe is serious about the 1st of April, I will *foolishly* be there! 
Lisa
