Well Matk at 914 Rubber knows how to make people happy. Just look at the stash of goodies he sent for everyone. Turn light seals, fender to cowl seals, mirror gaskets, door light seals, rear sway bar bushings, trunk lock gasket, and hand throttle.
Most of us could use a few of these! Thanks Mark!  |

I like having a spare cables (clutch and accel). I will have a set of late front wheel bearings, fuel injector, fuel filter, alternator belt, spare MPS, fuel hose, clamps, zip ties, fuses, and a few electrical items. Make sure your spare is in good shape and carry a can of fix a flat. |

QUOTE(Philip W. @ Sep 11 2014, 08:00 AM) btw- what are the must have's for such a trip? - tools? - spare parts? I will certainly have a spare clutch cable... (plus the one I owe Ken!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and throttle cable Mike had posted a pretty good list earlier: QUOTE(Mblizzard @ Aug 18 2014, 11:58 AM) Well what to bring? Here is what I am planning to bring. Will add to it as I think of more things. General Items: Chairs / blanket Car cleaning stuff First aid kit Sun screen Camera Car Items Extra oil Minor set of tools Extra clutch cable Accelerator cable Spare Injector if FI Good spare tire Spare fuses Jumper cables Car cover Assortment of standard bolts and extra CV joint bolts To that i would add: 10, 11, and 13 mm sockets and open end wrenchs...seems you can do just about everything with those. basic tools - screwdriver, pliers, etc. safety wire duct tape Zip ties This is standard stuff I bring to the track - plus a bunch of other things - so I have a tote with all of it together already. In reality...you shoudl have not problems. Last year we had one guy with a bad bearing, and some bozo that broke his clutch cable first thing Friday morning that delayed the whole thing!

Since my bearings are all new, as are my clutch cable and accelerator cable, i probably wont source a new one to carry with, - no one mentioned dont forget the AAA card!! ( i have road side assitance with haggarty as well) i think i might want to reattach my heater flapper boxes too, i just thought about that- and oil gets changed this weekend .
- the windshield will get a coat of rainx too., |

When you see a box that says this and it's huge. You know it is going to be good.
  Those guys at Restoration Design sent some real heavy metal. Thanks Peter! Anyone that has some firewall rust will want this.  Also sent along some great key fobs!  |

QUOTE(Mblizzard @ Aug 16 2014, 08:53 AM) OK I do t know about yours but my current car cover swallows my 914 whole with plenty of room to spare. Microbead Car Covers has sent us one of their custom fit car covers. This thing has straps to keep if from blowing off, has a UV coating, is water resistant, and has a lifetime warranty! Going to try it out on my car and get some pictures of it on a 914. This cover is valued at over $200. I think it would make a great prize for many of us! Anyone up for one of these for your car? As an update, Microbead carcovers has agreed to send a number of the covers to the event than can be purchased at a sizable discount. |

If I registered to get you guys over a certain Plateau, would I be Eligible for Door Prises even if I can't attend?

Well because we are only having random drawings for a few prizes and all of the really cool stuff you have to enter for the drawing it would be hard to assign someone to manage your entries. Also we don't have a way to get your prizes to you. You may be able to have someone who is attending do everything for you and collect anything that you win but that would be up to Bob to decide. Due to the massive amounts of cool stuff we got from our great sponsors I think you could be pretty sure that unless the Pope was your guy on site, there would be no prizes coming your way! |

Hmm, next plateau is 80 registrants... we only need 9 more to reach that number... I may have to modify the registration form to allow adding that many extra but I could certainly do that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
Of course, there is always the fine print: must be present to win So you might as well cancel whatever your other plans are and come on up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
