Great stuff. I don't think you missed one. Good for a rainy day.

Tony and I where on the way back from Orchard Supply and saw a car with a HUGE piece of cardboard in the rear window that said:

Nuke There ASS
Take There Gas

We couldnt stop laughing.

Yes, they used the incorrect "There" instead of "Their"

oh, I thought that was you using the incorrect "there". hehehe

Rainy day follies, part II, grammar lessons: Now it's time to discuss the use of your vs. you're. Oh man, nothin' like being stuck inside with little to do.

You guys are making sounds like you live in the Pacific Northwest. Ginter didn't want to leave this morning, he thought it was beautiful, but then he only had two hours sleep.

Some day we might talk about "were" vs. "where" also.


I'm not only stuck here in the rain...I've got a sick kid, mama's out of town, and the nanny is off today. Fortunately Sebring is on Speed Channel right now.

I spent this rainy day driving my friends newly purchased $2500 914 from Riverside to L.A. Two hours in pouring rain, no heater, windshield fogging up, hoping I didn't end up crunched like the 10 or so wrecks we saw. Not exactly relaxing. I had to drive it because the seller was 6'5" and had the seat bolted to the floor as far back as it could go and my friend Bob couldn't reach the pedals. Luckily he's going to strip the car for the track because except for no rust this one is rough to put it nicely. I think he overpaid but he was axious to get something to replace the one he rolled last weekend. The sickness continues.

Posted by: J P Stein Mar 15 2003, 09:27 PM

I spent the day workin' on wheels and (gasp)gardening. Yup, old fart rootin' around in the dirt. Come another shower....I hear them wheels calling.
Wurked out pretty well, actually.

I have no gramatical complaints....other than the shitty speeling around he're.

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Mar 15 2003, 09:37 PM

Painted rotors, got strut housings blasted and ball joints out.

Oh, traded rod bearings for leather st. wheel and hub... Score

Posted by: airsix Mar 15 2003, 10:25 PM

You painted your rotors? Ok...

Me? Had to pass on the last day of the bunny season (see hunter at left) due to rain, so I poured all my energy into the garage. Jamie nearly passed out when she came out to see around 4:00. he he I must have done all right - she's complimeted me on it every half hour since.
I'm just happy because now there's room to finish prepping our extra car for sale, and then it's time for the good stuff - working on the 914 hydraulic clutch conversion, replace the dead fuel pump, and finish the turbo plumbing. Expect pictures in April.

Yup, I'm a stickler for details. Call me silly

Posted by: Lawrence914-6 Mar 16 2003, 07:31 AM

Painted your rotors? WTF?

Okay... post a picture, please. I gotta see this.

One of my favorites,

"If Autocrossing were any easier they'd call it Road Racing."

"If Autocrossing were any easier, they'd call it NASCAR!"

Posted by: Racer Chris Mar 16 2003, 08:41 AM

Paul,

I happen to be one of the rare types who likes both and I think autocrossing is way easier.

For the record I have taken FTD at an AX, but never at a road race, LOL. That's in the same car BTW.

Posted by: Zeke Mar 16 2003, 10:58 AM

He painted everything but the braking surface, OK? You guys have to use your head.

Posted by: Lawrence914-6 Mar 16 2003, 11:14 AM

Hiya Zeke,

That's what I figured, but if I didn't have a reason to give Brad or Mueller a hard time... so I had to do *something*.

On a more serious note.. would painting the brake rotors (non-braking surface) interfere with proper rotor cooling? What about the heat of the rotors - would it damage the paint?

-Rusty

Painted rotors are a CW thing, I saw lots of them at the Porsche Parade in Boise last summer.

was it an orange (Tangerine) one? saw one going down 91 freeway westbound.

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Mar 16 2003, 08:24 PM

Here ya go

Posted by: Brad Roberts Mar 16 2003, 08:42 PM

Allright Dave,

What JAP wheel have you decided to run ?? and how will you get the rear hubs drilled for this pattern (safely)

B

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Mar 16 2003, 08:47 PM

They are German made, tankuverymuch :finger2: Check out my projects below...

Hubs are already done Check wheel page...

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Mar 16 2003, 08:49 PM

here

Posted by: Brad Roberts Mar 16 2003, 08:50 PM

Ahh yes... Terrance is running the pic as his avatar. Looks good. It appears your pattern is safe.

Do you have the hubs in the control arms ?? I would think that the new studs are very close to the bearing retaining plates.

Are these on the blue car already ?

B

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Mar 16 2003, 08:55 PM

The hubs/arms are on the car, but no wheels. Front susp. is off, and is using my only stands...

who's Terrance?

Posted by: Brad Roberts Mar 16 2003, 09:02 PM

Terrance is a club member.

Is there enough material in the center of the rear rotors to have them drilled ?? Just trying to keep you safe man....


B

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Mar 16 2003, 09:12 PM

Yea, kinda notched out. Too embarrased to show pics, tho. The guy that helped paint them painted the brake surface.

Dumbshit stoner Hard to find good help these days lol

Posted by: Jenny Mar 17 2003, 12:41 PM

Saw this on a shirt. "I'm not speeding. I'm qualifiying."

Of course, they only have it in L, XL, and XXL. I guess I can wear it like a burlap sack.

Posted by: Lawrence914-6 Mar 17 2003, 02:44 PM

I have to admit... the paint looks pretty cool.

If it holds up to temps, I may do the same to my car.

-Rusty

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Mar 17 2003, 02:49 PM

Looks clean, huh? BBQ paint might do better, but I can fix later if needed

Posted by: si2t3m Mar 17 2003, 03:14 PM

Did it on mine (Tremclad rustoleum black paint).

Still holding up fine.

Looks better than rust!

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Mar 17 2003, 03:20 PM

Good to hear!! I used the same paint

Posted by: Dave_Darling Mar 17 2003, 04:34 PM

What, not POR-15? And here I thought you were the Disciple of POR-15!!

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Mar 17 2003, 05:09 PM

I figured its a waste of P-diddy 15... If it lasts or is permanent, then make it bullet proof

Disciple?? I am P-diddy 15 LORD. Bow down, mortal

Posted by: Dman Mar 17 2003, 07:06 PM

Korijo your stuff looks great!! But you are not the only one with painted rotors!!
