Title pretty much says it. When,where? I think there are enough V8's around to be fun.

Would a small block amputee (4.3L-6 ) be welcome ?

Posted by: jmmotorsports Jun 21 2009, 02:41 PM

Sure, I think any water cooled 914's would be welcome.

I am ready for a get-to-gether.





My car has a Buick 252/4.1 v6 with aluminum heads, roller rockers, and custom fuel injection.

I'm in for one if it's fairly close. Be cool to work it around an autoX somewhere. Even without that I'd be up for it. Any geniouses out there that want to do a FI work party. I just bought a complete FI for my car off a Land Rover. Just need to get a couple o2 sensors supposedly. I'll be doing some more research on it soon. So I'm up for a work party type deal too. Whatever works I'm good with. Be happy to host a BBQ & drive up to Alsea falls. It is a great drive with banked turns

I'm in, only one problem, I just dropped my engine out. I hope to drop it off at a machine shop in the AM. It may be a few weeks before it's running again.
keep me posted on when and where.

Kinda thought it was a 914 thing not a V8 thing ....Nothing like getting kicked to the curb cause you dont have a basterd car. ...JMO.... have fun..

Phillip, you're the guy who honked and I waved too about 2 weeks ago rounding Pass Lake. . . I've seen your car at the OH show; VERY nice!! 'Course I could be wrong, but I doubt there is another blue flared teener pulling a trailer like that anywhere else. . .

Do you need a tissue?

Posted by: 6freak Jun 22 2009, 12:53 PM

NO!!! but a hug would be good right about now

Posted by: effutuo101 Jun 22 2009, 04:22 PM

awww. jon, quick, go give ummms a hug.



It will be a few more weeks for me

Posted by: jmmotorsports Jun 22 2009, 04:36 PM

Sorry Mike, really was not trying to hurt anyones feelings. We don't often get many V8's or other water cooled conversion cars in one place at the same time. Just wanted to see who all was out there and what they are up too.

Jerry

Posted by: effutuo101 Jun 22 2009, 08:00 PM

no hurt feelings here. just poking fun.

Posted by: JRust Jun 22 2009, 08:20 PM

Mike is just being showing how envious he is of water cooled

I think any 914 get together is great. I am sure all will be welcome. Be nice to have some focus on our water cooled 914's though. I think that is what Jerry is going for. A general get together with all the localized water cooled 914's. Let me think on it some more. If nobody steps up to the plate I'll put something together. Just be prepared for it to be based around my place in Corvallis if I set it up. I'll be good with someone doing it closer to Portland though.

Posted by: TC 914-8 Jun 22 2009, 11:16 PM

Someone mentioned around AX day in Bremerton???
We ALL could show up, But have a class for the Water cooled BASTARD children.

Give me three weeks, I just droped off my engine at th machine shop, New roller cam and lifters, should put me in the hunt.

There is also " Porsches on the Peir" in Port Angeles, Late July. The local PCA holds it every year with sone sand sculpture festival. It would be nice to have a few 914's instead of all the 60 to 80K show room queens.

Hey! Up in Seattle isn't water cooled just taking the top off?

OK not so funny, but I tried..

Posted by: TC 914-8 Jun 22 2009, 11:41 PM

Actually, pretty funny, I have had a few Margaritas tho....

Posted by: 6freak Jun 23 2009, 08:58 AM

My feelings are not hurt .....and by the way If i had the duckys i would build one myself.. i do like the V-8 cars ...and your is very nice ...but anywho if you dont want us there ,,Myself ,Dave Hunt ,Jonny B,Troy,Jeff Hines ,Kurt, Kevin,Jack,Mark, nate,Canada Steve who always brings crappy beer, and the rest of use(I cant remember them all but there lots) PNW 914 guys its ok go have your fun with out us just take lots of pix to post ...LOL

Posted by: Tom Jun 23 2009, 09:15 AM

We could always just show up and see some nice V8 conversions. ya never know where your next crazy idea will come from.
Tom

Posted by: 6freak Jun 23 2009, 09:24 AM

I like that idea Tom ..we will crash there party ...lets not tell them and just show up sshhh its a secret spread the word ..and remember dont let them know...

Posted by: jmmotorsports Jun 23 2009, 02:14 PM

OK,How about All of us going to the Porsches On The Pier thing Tony mentioned,4's 6's V8's, rotory's ? Hope I did not forget anyone. In fact people who will bring beer don't even need to have a 914.

Posted by: JRust Jun 23 2009, 02:52 PM

Let's do one closer to Portland man! I been traveling to much lately! I don't think I am up for another Seattle area trip yet . Guess it depends when you do it. I need a few weeks before I can probably swing it. Still it's just getting hotter. So someone up there get a plan & I'll figure a way to get there.

Posted by: Tom Jun 23 2009, 03:56 PM

Jerry,
Pick a place and time. You know as many of us as possible will show up.
Tom

Posted by: 6freak Jun 23 2009, 04:07 PM

Invade a Portland AX ....JP will get use on the right track .....Or just wait tell the SHOOT OUT 09 thats pretty central ...then we can get drunk after the event and wont have to drive anywhere

Posted by: 6freak Jun 23 2009, 04:09 PM

Damn Jerry!!!!! you give in way to easy

Posted by: rascobo Jun 23 2009, 04:13 PM

Not only do you Seattle air(cooled)heads intend to crash our party, now you're expecting Us to bring it to You! My god has your arrogance no limits? Portlanders* We must stand our ground and stop driving north into the shadow (cast by the burning oil) of our big city brethren and have a party here!

Oh, and sometime around or after the 4th would be suit me.


(*) and S.W.Washingtonians(?) Washingtonites(?) Oh hell, you know who you are.

Posted by: 6freak Jun 23 2009, 04:17 PM

....LMAO....Host it and we will come ......Least tom and i will ....got a shedule for PIR AX

Posted by: r_towle Jun 23 2009, 05:35 PM

I would never have respected a 914 watercooled limitation...I would have arrived with a group of REAL 914's.....lol

Have fun...love the v8 cars guys...

Rich

Posted by: Tom Jun 24 2009, 03:48 PM

They are all good. I wish I had a 6. And then I would wish for a v8, then a ??. I know it would be something. I just am crazy when it comes to 914's. If I had the money, and I was single , I would have a large garage full of them.
