So its final Im moving to Corpus Christi Texas. I will be leaving tomorrow or the next day and driving the 914 south to Tucson and east through to Corpus Christi.

I will be going down there to "set up shop" and Ill bring the family down the next month.

Is there anyone here in that general area? How about Wrenches? Clubs I couldnt find a local PCA down there maybe the closest would be San Antonio?


Any advice from the recent road trippers?

Brad is a native Texan... but I think that most of the regular texas 914 crowd hangs out on the 914 Rennlist (Charlie Davis, Yoder, Clay Perrine, etc....) You might want to cross-post over there.

The only person you need to know in Corpus... would be the owner of Paragon products (Jason).. he is a hardcore 914 guy much like myself.

When I was in high school some chic was attacked and killed by a shark in Corpus...So...watch out at those beaches.

Hey Brad, I didn't know you were from Texas. So am I, south east side of Houston, on the Bay, town called La Porte.

You know why Texas never fell into the Gulf of Mexico?

The PCA down in Corpus holds a monthly open track day at Cabaniss for a whopping 20bucks... http://www.coastalbendpca.org/

and I think the SCCA has a monthly autox out at Cabaniss (saturday run as much as you want and 4 timed runs on sunday) all for 20 bucks...

so there are lots of opportunities to have fun with a 914 down there...and do talk to Jason from Paragon, he has been very helpful every time I talk with him.

HTH,

Tony

AAA and a cell phone for sure. Are you driving the moving truck or have you contracted out? Hauling any cars?

If you are still in SLC you’re going the long way. Drop down through Price, Moab, go to Cuba, NM., Albuquerque and then down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Jason from Paragon thats good!

I decided I have to much greasy junk to let some movers take it so I will be moving it by truck and haulin one car behind it.

I do have a 356 in mid restoration that is going to have to stay here in SLC for awhile till I can make arrangements to come and get it.

I tried to find the local PCA but I guess I couldnt thats great that they have regular events like that.

I got AAA plus and a Cell phone fuses and three or four 13mm wrenches (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The only problem I may have is if I have a flat I have no useable jack spurs and no other kind of jack(I think my garage jack weighs as much as the car!) but I gues thats what AAA is for

I have to go south to Tucson to visit a friend so its gonna work out in two trips cuz i plan on stayin in Tucson for a few days.

Thanks for the help so far!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) you can by a small floor jack at kmart, or Walmart for $15 . I used one at the track before I broke down and got an alum one. It will fit in the rear trunk. If you were going the other way I had a list of contacts that could help of you need anything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Besides an assortment tools, take a spare clutch & gas cable. Roll of duck tape and a good pair of vicegrips. Spare points and coil.

Have fun.

Kelly,

If you run into trouble in Tucson look me up. I have plenty of tools and a few spare parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

If you're towing the car on a tow dolly make sure you have 2 spare wheels/tires for the car. And keep an eye on the car for flats. You won't even realize it when they go. BTDT.

I wish I had the time to get the clutch cable and the throttle cable I hope im not sorry.

I do however have duct tape, tools and a fanbelt which will be of no use unless i get the jack

Thanks for the offer Mark!

As far as the car I will be using a flatbed, I dont trust those car dollys.
