Bruce, If you come in on the 11am flight what time would you arrive? I might be able to pick you up. I'm 10 minutes from Metro.

Thanks Tom,
I meant SW corner...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Last time I was there (6 yrs ago) I had to drive to Lakeside, took me about an hour. The flight leaves here at 11am...think it arrives Kalamazoo at around 3. I didn't check DTW flights yesterday, but I'm sure there are more connector flights thru Minnapolis to DTW than Kalamazoo. This is only if I can find some one to cover for me. BTW box on it's way to you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Eric,
Sorry about that other yellow six for Hell, but my SO will be the co pilot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif) But I'm checking on a four banger for you. Not sure about the mirror thing. |

What... are we twin sons of different Mothers? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Ok..here is how I'm doing on getting mine roadworthy. By friday I'll have all of my final parts (most arrived this week). So, I only have to:
1. put on the entire front suspension 2. get a wheel alignment 3. install all the brakes (after rebuilding and widening them with spacers) 4. install front/rear sway bars (although I can let this one slide) 5. speedometer cable and angle drive (would be nice to know how fast i'm going!) 6. put in my entire interior and if I have any spare time...put on the rear reflector and some method of opening the trunk! hmmm...I've got so much to do why am I here online! |

i'm keeping my hat in but i'm getting bummed - oil pressure in the 911 is dropping like a stone and it's starting to feel soft, even though it felt great on a brisk 200-mi run yesterday morning... i'm gonna hafta call it 'day to day' -- the 911 is our only runner right now and i can't afford to R&R the engine in the Subie - much less the 911. gonna be shopping for engine bits for a winter project, tho - starting to look a lot less optional ...

Dang,
Just got word today I have a business presentation to make on Friday afternoon 1:30 P.M. @ the Univ. of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN. That means I will be getting home real late Friday night the 6th. Now I have to cancel my open house at the motel. Sorry guys, no beer, nuts & other fun stuff I had planned. Business comes first. This is a construction project I worked on for (6) months. I will however be there early Saturday for the main event. Now I have a dilemma, should I cancel my room reservation? Does anyone need my room for Friday night? Let me know if anyone needs my room before I cancel. The business world is cruel & always spoils fun plans. Just can't figure why they would schedule a meeting on Friday late in the afternoon before a summer weekend. Tom |

Drive the Subie! Or rent a U-Haul. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Just show up! QUOTE The business world is cruel & always spoils fun plans.

I'm looking forward to seeing that beautiful 914 of yours on Saturday! |

QUOTE(Gint @ Jul 23 2004, 06:55 PM) Drive the Subie! Or rent a U-Haul. Just show up! Suibie's engine is dead - head gaskets. renting anything is right out. unless the 911 miraculously starts acting right today, i'm out. the handwriting on the wall is quite clear. we have exactly one running car supporting two working people and we have no reserve; what was i thinking even trying to do this ? i need to concentrate on getting this situation more stable... Joy will have another car sometime in August after her Reno condo sale closes escrow. there are replacement engines available for the Subie, and it was always the plan for that to become my winter car. so i 'just' have to work out how to replace the engine in the 911 over the winter. lessee -- a 2,2 overbored 0,040" is ... anyway - it was a fun idea while it lasted, but i just don't think this is gonna happen this year. gotta go cancel on the ECR too ... |

well..progress is slow getting mine altogether but I'm working at it: so far I have:
1. most of the interior in (see pic...dash and stereo system left to go) 2. rear suspension is all in 3. brakes have all been cleaned, painted and spacers installed (not on car yet) 4. had the rear vented rotor turned smaller to fit my 914-4 widened calipers What I have left to do: 1. put on the entire front suspension 2. mount all the brakes 3. mount all the tires 4. speedo cable and angle drive 5. sway bars (might not have time) 6. dash board (upper and lower and the flat part that goes to the window) 7. stereo (if I have time) 8. front end alignment If I at least get it drivable...it may have a few missing pieces here and there!

I finally made my hotel reservation. I got a King single Friday night then have to check out and check back into a Jr. Suite Saturday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) There are no more rooms for Saturday, but may be more suites.
See Y'All Friday. Caravan plans anyone? Garold, other Indiana, Kentucky, IL guys? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
