thanks Mike!

I think we should start a gas/donation pool to get the Salmon one to ride his motorcycle to Torrey....

anybody want to pitch in?
I figure 12$ ought to fill his motorbike

I donate the first dollar

I gotcha for another dollar!

Posted by: shelby/914 Aug 23 2008, 10:49 PM

I would gladly donate, but he really needs to drive a car. That way he could haul the parts I bought. They just aren't going to fit on a bike. Is any one going by his house that would want to haul some front suspension parts to Torrey?

Posted by: Sleepin Aug 23 2008, 11:06 PM

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 24 2008, 10:03 AM

Man... I'm reading a PM frpm Brant and he said something about a donation... I knew something was up.

Dan, I don't know; one strut per Krauser bag and a dry bag for a change of undies.

Posted by: brant Aug 24 2008, 10:12 AM

is this close to how your bike looks?
got a picture?

skip the change of undies, and bring beer instead

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 24 2008, 12:22 PM

That's it... except; mine's metallic gold/curry. I just took the fenders (working on the tank now) off this morning to have Troy do a repaint.

Posted by: shelby/914 Aug 24 2008, 02:38 PM

Another good looking project, eh Brant?

Posted by: brant Aug 24 2008, 03:27 PM

Cool Eric!

Cool Dan!


Dan, when did you get that project
sheesh... you'd think one car getting painted would be enough projects at a time Dan....

24 days left! We are getting excited!

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 25 2008, 11:46 PM

I think that bike is solely responsible for the "one-year" status of the "Toaster Tank" Beemer guys thought the company sold out and tried to make the bike look like a Honda.

Cool bike.

Posted by: Sleepin Aug 26 2008, 11:57 AM

So are you going to make it to RRC Eric?

Posted by: Eric_Shea Aug 26 2008, 08:33 PM

Not sure yet.

I believe that weekend is falling on a PRS event that Paul has invited me to. I missed last year and I guess it was pretty cool with Al Di Meola playing at Paul's house etc.

How are we looking?

All I'm counting is about $1.00... Slits said he made a fuel donation for me. Did you receive it yet? If I bring the 911 it costs about $80 to fill up and gets about 9 mpg.

Get collecting.

Posted by: shelby/914 Sep 8 2008, 04:57 PM

Guess I could throw in whatever the shipping costs would be on my parts if you have room to bring them.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Sep 8 2008, 10:24 PM

Oh those are heavey... that's gonna cost ya!

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 8 2008, 11:05 PM

I will Paypal you $2.00 Eric! (hey, thats double Ron's offer! )

Posted by: Eric_Shea Sep 8 2008, 11:38 PM

That's double Brant's weak-ass offer (and he's yet to come through).

Ron said he donated a substancial sum to be used to fill my tank. He said Wills would match it.

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 9 2008, 12:09 AM

Haha, he did not say your car would run on this alleged "substance" did he? I suspect foulplay, especially if he said he would fill it at the event. (a funnel and tube after everyone has had a lot of )

Posted by: SLITS Sep 9 2008, 07:01 AM

Doan need no "funnel & tube" .... my aim is "dead** spot on" ......

No comments about "dead weapons" here!

Of course I could always supply an abundant amount of "Blue Flame Seat Heater and Turbo Boost Gas" after eating some chili and drinking Cassadores.

Will your assdragger run on chunks?

Well, seems Brant is actually alive....I will up it to $4 ....no higher though, any more than that and I won't be able to bring both cars!

Posted by: Joe Sharp Sep 10 2008, 08:59 AM

I have resgistered, I was planning to go but now I find that I have another event to take care of. I told the PCA and a sponsoer that I would do a "Q" for them at an A/X and that came up as the same weekend. So I'm out. Gunna mess you guys. Sorry.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Sep 10 2008, 10:01 AM

Greg, we've got $7 bucks to split.

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 10 2008, 11:06 AM

Thats a bummer Joe!

Posted by: TROJANMAN Sep 10 2008, 02:44 PM

And a couple of squirts?

BTW, I talked to Ron.
He said he'd rather share a room with you. Something about dressing up farm animals in women's clothing?

Posted by: Gint Sep 10 2008, 06:18 PM

Well that sucks. The reasons not to go are starting to out number the reasons to go by a substantial amount at this point. I might not make it either.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Sep 10 2008, 06:37 PM

I haven't done that in a while...

Posted by: MoveQik Sep 10 2008, 07:31 PM

C'mon Mike. You guys have to go. Tell Sharon I have some new Vans just for RRC. She has to check them out.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Sep 10 2008, 07:57 PM

I had checked awhile back and they had an open track day the following Monday IIRC at Miller... would be rad to trailer the car out and run that track. If I didn't break mine again I was going to head out there and hit the track afterward before heading home.

Have you been to Miller? IIRC RMVR ran there before so maybe you have already been there. It should be a full outer loop day too which would've been a blast in my car.

Posted by: brant Sep 11 2008, 10:52 PM

I haven't ever driven miller
its one of the events I keep skipping
its a "Nostalgia club" event and after last year when the miata got me
(Nostalgia has a class called "vintage miatas")

after that I skipped it
Nostalgia runs full outer loop for big cars, and inner loop for small cars
kinda a nice compromise and fairly progressive thinking to please both contingents with 2 options at the same event.

my next few weeks are crazy

- repair this weekend
- Utah the following weekend
- pueblo enduro the following weekend
- repair and service the weekend after that
- hallet oklahoma for 3 days the following weekend
- PPIR the weekend after that (if the car is still in one piece)

I'll have to skip something to maintain my sanity

that sucks - I remember the Miata incident.

yeah that is slick

holy crap man! I forgot about that enduro already... I want to try and make it down for that. Been crazy on my end with various family in town but nothing pegged out quite like you

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 11 2008, 11:29 PM

Wow! Those bikes are almost Ferg worthy! Very Nice!

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 12 2008, 07:46 PM

One week and we will be

Less than a week for some of us!

Posted by: shelby/914 Sep 12 2008, 08:01 PM

Went to Miller last summer for the Shelby convention. Did not run myself but it is an awsome facility, but hotter than hell in July. Might not be so bad now.

Good luck with that Kevin! I wish I was on the other side of the mountains, I would come give you a hand!

Hopefully we will see some UFO's (there is a UFO landing site in Boulder, Ut.)

No prob. Eric
There'll be plenty of help tomorrow,

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 13 2008, 09:19 PM

I had help today! Even though my youngest cannot make it to RRC, she still helped me wash the '73.

Posted by: brant Sep 15 2008, 09:30 AM

your kid is very cute
I was just amazed I beat you to this thread for once.

brant

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 15 2008, 09:42 AM

Well, this seems to be my thread.




Well I just need to pack up some clothes, buy a quart of oil and head out. Sounds like the Start Relay is outta stock, so the 2.0 will have to take breaks.

I also have to call and finalize Saturday mornings Head count will be??????

Posted by: brant Sep 15 2008, 09:58 AM

there are still some people on the fence.
so lets go with the paid head count
(and hope that one or two of the unpaid people still show)

#16

regarding the relay
go to any flaps in town there
ask for the "ford starter relay"

it doesn't look as nice as Eric's kit, and it won't come with all of the connections pre-wired like his. But it works fine. and you can sheet-metal screw it to the back of the engine tinwork, right above the starter

its fairly simple to wire and has about 4 poles on it
you transfer the yellow starter wire onto it, and then the starter power onto it. Then the output of each of those goes back to the starter

probably 18beans, and 30minutes work.

brant

Posted by: majkos Sep 15 2008, 10:17 AM

Make sure the starter relay is well grounded,(Mounted to clean metal)

Off to get the fly wheel resurface,ugly oil burn marks.

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 15 2008, 10:23 AM

The relay itself has to be grounded hmm? Will the other silver bullet be up and running by RRC?

Posted by: majkos Sep 15 2008, 09:07 PM

There's undercoating or paint on the body that can keep you from having a good ground.BTDT

I've only one Silver 914.
The other is sold, should update my profile,ay?

Posted by: Sleepin Sep 16 2008, 05:15 AM

Oh I see....but the "other" was in reference to Val's '73. Hopefully I will find the time to do it today. Put in a 22 hour day at work....time for a nap.
