One of our customers lives in Honolulu. We have two cars here of his, both undergoing extensive modification.
The first one is nearing completion and he's coming to check it out before we prep it for shipping.
I just drove it last Thursday for the first time since it arrived more than 4 years ago.
It would be nice to have a few local nine-fourteeners stop by and say hi.

Here are a few pics I took during re-assembly.

I visited Tangerine Racing a few months ago. If you end up at a tire stor, you made a wrong turn. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It might be a bit colder now but stop by if you can. Chris is a great guy and has some neat projects going on. You might even find something you need for your car.
Cheers, Elliot
P.S. Say hi to Ed for me.

Chris...at first glance I didn't notice the significance of the build...A Steel Roof! You're doing top notch work. Thanks for letting us see this one on your Facebook. The Islands will never be the same once this beast hits their roads.

This customer had us fabricate a 916 repro roof on both of his cars. A lot of challenges to make it "just like factory".
The second car has our flares instead of the GT style. The body is primered with no body work done yet. The Megasquirt injected 2270 is installed and should be running by Friday.

We'll have some other interesting work on display as well, including an IMSA GTU restoration in progress.

I think we'll start gathering at the shop around noon, and see where it goes from there. Refreshments will be served. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It looks like I'm going to come down with the 914.

With Chris' permission I am looking for somebody going who would consider doing a quick pit stop and let me try their tires and rims.

I have a vibe that comes and goes at highway speeds and this seems like the quickest way to determine if I have a rim/tire issue or a suspension/steering related issue.

Thanks and see you there! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

The lift may not be available but I have a couple floor jacks, and tools.
I'd say you can try the wheels/tires off my white car but I have a high speed vibration too.
Its nothing compared to the shaking I would get in my race car when the tires were cold and covered with pickup from the previous session's cool-down lap.

Rubber pick up on a stiff race car is enough to blur your vision!
Mine is nothing like that, more of an annoyance.
That said it is currently the number one drivability issue I have so it would be nice to get to the root cause and fix it by spring.
I'll purchase a pair of front sway bar mounts if you have them in stock along with 2 quarts of BP 10w-30...

Andy I'm glad the weather is going to cooperate.
Since the lift is occupied - can't we just swap tires, one side at a time with two jacks?
Don't do it if you aren't comfortable - I won't be offended.

Update on weather: More snow scheduled for tonight and tomorrow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) But Iam going to show up in the teener. Scott no worries the sneakers will be present for you to try out.

We had a pretty good turnout considering the short notice. I counted 15 including the staff of TRP.

Prize for travelling the farthest goes to Wayne, all the way from Honolulu.
Prize for driving the farthest goes to Andy (Scarlet75, as usual) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Unfortunately I don't think anyone thought to take pictures while the guest of honor was here.
I was too preoccupied going over details of the two cars with Wayne.
After he left I remembered to ask my wife to snap a few.
The group was starting to thin out by then though.

The chassis behind Genaro's son is something special. Look for a story on this in the near future. (I'll give you a clue - the last four digits of the VIN are 0090.)
