I had a great time, wow, what a turn out, it seems like everytime we have one of these, we get more and more people turning out. Thank you to Ron and Glenn for putting this on. It sure was great to see everybody.


It was interesting seeing so many very nice cars in one place.

The red car in Brad's pictures is the appropriate one for this time of the year, it's vin number ends in 666


that's funny how you take pictures of those cars, instead of the clean drivers.

Posted by: Brad Roberts Oct 29 2006, 07:28 PM

Pretty rare when a "new" car joins our group.. but you can always find plenty of "new" donor cars. You can count on everyone taking pics of the "show" cars You can count on me to shoot pics of the donors!

In the end, it will help Ron sell stuff.

Just got home...

And as usual Toast, Slits and my own humble self were "Last Man Out"

Just had a good time. great food. Glenn out did himself this time on the burgers and the RIBS at the end of the eats period.

I actually sold some stuff this time. As I didn't work on anybodys car...

What happened?????? No one wants me to work on their cars anymore?
(thats probably smart of them)

AND:

I will need help sourcing a good tranny for Toasts car as she needs a rebuild or at least a couple of parts trannys to scavenge for parts.

She always shows up to all the BBQs and helps setup the tables, gets water for me and the other guys when we are too busy to get it for ourselves. She is always there and helping the gang.

So In recompence I am gunna throw a trans in her car. If you guys have any spare tranny's for cheap or free... PM Toast or me.

It's time to pay her back for her generosity.

Then she owes us again..!!!!!!!!!! PuuRrrfect.....

Ron, Thanks again for the hospitality.
That goes for Slits too..............

This is the best bunch of car nuts I have ever known.
And I have been doing this for 40+ years. You folks are the best.

Clayton

PS... Aaron my brother... I missed you being there. Kick ass on your test bro.

I'll go through my used tranny parts tomorrow night. I dont think she needs a complete tranny.. just the first/reverse goodies. I know I have 1-2 good 1st gear sliders and all the bearings we could ever need.

She will need the cover gasket and muffler gaskets + gear lube.

I'm tied up over the next several weekends, but I'm free Thanksgiving weekend if you want to help her out then. We could also whip out the intake "re-seal" as I call it. She needs new intake boots/gaskets/injector seals. The two of us could whip it out in less than 3 hours total (mixed with BS'ing)

Man, that venu is waaaaaay better than the old one. I am jealous.

Let me know if I can help out with Toast's tranny.

Posted by: Twystd1 Oct 29 2006, 10:45 PM

Brad,
I am good for Thanksgiving weekend...

Dr.Evil... Mike.. I miss your silly ass around these SoCalparts.

I will let ya know if you can help...!!!

Now all we need is a place to fix her car.

I'm down for whatever it takes.

Toast... Chime in here and let us know if you can make Thanksgiving weekend.....

AND.... it would be a great time for a BBQ... Now we just have to figure out WHERE to do all this...

If anyone wants to step up for a BBQ.... That would be best case scenario.

Several nice looking cars with for sale signs in the pix and only one posted here. Any info available.

Posted by: Toast Oct 29 2006, 11:21 PM

Dan,
I have a thread up right now tying to contact a guy with the yellow 74 for sale with the plaid seats. If I get a response from him, i'll give you the info on that car.


Clayton,
Thank you for you kind words and all of your efforts. I don't have plans for Thanksgiving weekend. Sounds like the perfect weekend to give thanks to me.


Brad,
A tremendous amount of thanks to you for all your help disassembling my 914........and then putting it back together. But seriously, thanks for all your help in diagnosis for a coulple of problems that I have had for a long time. And also for your willingness to show me and have me involved, and then to follow up on the solution. It means a tremendous amount to me.

Posted by: gdonahoe Oct 30 2006, 12:26 AM

Thanks Glenn, Ron, and Toast for your efforts in making the event possible.

Happy that some of my parts found new homes.

As always, a pleasure to hang out with the 914 family.

We had a great time.

great company

thanks G & R for festivities

Posted by: SLITS Oct 30 2006, 07:56 AM

A thanks to all who attend our bi-yearly events. It is you that make it the success it is. This year I let Glenn do all the work and was able to spew a few hours of BS with the people I care about. Managed not to sell much of anything, which was a pleasure in itself.

Brad .... it was nice of you to show up, help Toast and others, and when did you lose your asshole attitude? Part of the success of this event is due to the 914world.com.

Joe, thanks for running the raffle I knew nothing about. It was a nice touch to a great day.

Apologies to all who waited patiently for me to find something while I was busy spewing BS.

Carl, thanks for showing up late with the family .... you'll get it right the next time.

And for the rest of you nutcakes ..... just thanks for being you.

Oh, and I found out that Jared really exists (DrifterJay) .... I've been hearing all these stories about this mythical person ..... Now off to find Elvis.

I live in Tujunga from Pasadena about 7 min west. Off the 210 fry and Glendale 2 fry. map out;

6960 Estepa drive. Tujunga 91042 (This address for mapimg, wont get you to my home but near, cant put over the internet.)

Easy to get to from any part of LA. Best part is if you get the car done we can take a drive up into Angelas Crest Hwy great roads. Yes there is a BBQ and if anyone needs overnight bring a sleeping bag.

If it helps get more hands out we have Speed Channel and Hi-fi. in the garage so you wont miss the race.

Tennessee?! Dude, another victim fallen prey to internet dating. That dude you met on line might just turn out to be a chick man! Kinda far to travel for disappointment.

Hello....

is this thing on?.....

damnit! If I burn him and he is not here to flame on then did I realy burn him? Do I get the points???



SLITS,
Didja find the parts that I was asking about? I may need more and I sent someone your way looking for a few things

Posted by: So.Cal.914 Oct 31 2006, 06:01 PM

I had a good time didn't fine anything I needed (lots of bling but finish tub first)

but I saw some nice teeners and met some nice people.

Posted by: SLITS Oct 31 2006, 06:49 PM

Dear Dr. Dribble,

I looked for hex plugs and found none. I didn't even find any round plugs as Aaron didn't show.

Will continue the Exodus; the search for hex plugs.

Over and out.

Posted by: Heeltoe914 Oct 31 2006, 07:59 PM

What hex plug are you looking for? Maybe I can check my stuff.

Posted by: Dr Evil Oct 31 2006, 08:05 PM

Every year that I went to the swap before I moved east I would get a few male transmission drain and filler plugs to replace the female type that tend to stick. I have only like 4 left and I would have liked to put these on rebuilds.
I know that they are for a specific tranny and that they are probably readily available, but I was getting them cheap at the swap....I miss the swap, the west coast with its ample waves of parts for cheap, mexican food

What tranny are they off of? Fiat?

Posted by: Aaron Cox Oct 31 2006, 08:12 PM

901 and 902 4 speeds have them...

i think 901 (911 version) and 915's use em..

last time i checked they were 12 bucks new with the magnet or something

Posted by: Dr Evil Oct 31 2006, 08:58 PM

$12! I was getting them for $1.50. Screw it.

Wierd, all of those 902/01/15 etc trannies that I have goofed with had the innies, not the outies.

Someone had been there before me!

Posted by: Dr Evil Oct 31 2006, 09:05 PM

Negative on those model years. I just checked allthe way back to the 356 with no joy, just the innies.

Posted by: Aaron Cox Oct 31 2006, 09:07 PM

i parted 3 902's and they all had em....
