Dr. Evil Does The West Coast (now with a review), Dr. Evil Tranny Clinic in San Jose, CA Options

[Trevorg7]

This is now on! Details below.

Here are our thoughts. Mike and I have talked off and on recently about my tail to side shift transmission conversion and I quickly realized that I lack the skills and tools required to complete this job successfully. While we were talking about shipping my transmission out to him, I floated the idea of having him come to the west coast; many reasons to do so but one being my transmission.

If there is enough interest in Mike’s expertise (meaning people would pay to learn from him), Mike has offered to put on a clinic during his stay, price TBD, and teach, lead, and help the attendees with their fixes, rebuilds, and conversions.

Here is what we know for sure.

Place: 6890 Lenwood Way San Jose, CA 95120; Cell 408-499-0443
Date: January 4th and 5th
Start Times: Noon on Friday and 9am on Saturday
Provided: Beer (kegerator stocked with Kona’s Longboard Lager), driveway/garage space, compressor, limited (4) jack stands, some tools, etc.
Who: Observers are free. If you cannot attend you may still drop your transmission off for work (contact Mike for cost/parts/etc). Participation is welcome (contact Mike for cost/parts/etc)

Mike will also be bringing discount parts out with him. No 1st gear stuff however as he currently does not have any in stock. Additionally, Mike has a cash of core trannies that can be purchased directly from him. Shipping is approximately $80 via Greyhound.

I am sure many can attest to Mike’s expert skills, this is a once is a ‘residency life time’ opportunity.

Keep the questions coming.

FYI, I always like to switch out the old hardware (13mm nuts and washers) with new stainless gear. I plan on providing this to all of the tranny rebuilders (included with price of admission), but to order the right amount I need ya'll to register ASAP. Also, I intend on providing brake cleaner, brushes and some lube for assembly. I am gonna have to get Trevor to hit the dollar store before I get there. You guys will need to bring safety glasses, 13, 14, 19, 10mm sockets and lots of questions. Cardboard would be a good thing too as well as chairs and any portable tables you want to use other wise I figure we will be on the floor (old school) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Mike - Give me a shopping list and I'll get some of that stuff; brake cleaner, brushes, lube, etc. I am sure the TSA will look at you funny if you are flying with lube and a wire brush! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

I should be okay with Cardboard - after Santa comes - and I've got six to eight chairs as well as a card table. I don't have enough tools for everyone so please bring the requested sockets, safety glasses (safety is no accident - always wanted to say that LOL).
