This year will be the 11th Annual Route 66 Classic. Last year we were in our furthest east location, Albuquerque.
This year we set a new western record and bring the party to Palm Springs. Come join us for the fun and fellowship.

The host hotel is the Travelodge Palm Springs. 1277 South Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92264. (760) 325-5574.
Please, book your room as soon as you can.
The manager said we would be able to find better deals on-line than what he could offer in our circumstances. ($80 + fees was the best I found) Pets are allowed.
Put "Porsche Club" in the special request field and post here after you make your reservation. The hotel will give us rooms near the back corner of the parking lot.

Friday - Arrive in Palm Springs. Parking lot pizza party.

Saturday - 9:14 am - Driving tour in the San Jacinto Mts. Hwy 74
1:00 pm - Lunch at La Tablita . Mid century modern architecture tour. Ariel Tram ride. Car Show. Shopping. Museums. Galleries. Etc.
7:30pm - Awards Dinner at Lulu's. Parking Lot Activities to follow.

Sunday - Go Home.

Anyone of you who knows wiring up for a small project whilst in Palm Springs?

My driving lights just arrived, along with a dash switch and a Bosche wire relay.

I have no clue what to do with this stuff yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I can bring some tools... but what's needed? Just a screw driver and socket wrench set?

Free beer to anyone that can help with this.

It's a brave man that goes to Rt66 expecting to get something installed by the crew. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Just kidding ... mostly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)


WARNING: This is what they did to my car at a BBQ when I asked for help soldering my new driving lights.

The right rear is leaking now. I have brand new PMB brakes but they didn't come with adjusters to vent the inner piston. I got them all installed.

We figured them out…..duh.

What is a pisser is that I had wonderful brakes and I went and screwed them up. I should have waited until I got back to do this.

Any chance to throw the old rears back on, bleed them out and get going?

Sucks- at least you weren't on the road when they went out. And no adjustment available on the rears? How is that possible? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I was just over at Erics' earlier today pressing in new rear trailing arm bushings- Would have been able to relay messages to help if I'd known earlier...

Pull the adjusters out of the old calipers and install them in the new calipers.

If your M/C is shot, good to know it now instead of on the road. I know you really want to take your 914, but you don't need a 914 to enjoy the run … I've done it in Toyotas more than in 914s.

Wow. You guys seriously went through. Grand Junction and didn't tell me!?!?



I know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I thought I had your number in my phone. By the time we ate we were road weary. Sorry. Sandy had to push start the car. I couldn't do it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) She's the man!

I didn't think I could make this event, but *maybe* I can bring the green car up on Saturday afternoon.

When/where is the car show & dinner Saturday night? Same place or ? (this is a really long thread!)

-Steve


Steve,

If you can make it I would really like to see your 6.

Ditto that is how Eric sends them out without the adjustor. That is unless you sent him yours to be rebuilt. If you buy a set from him they do not come with the adjustor. Where is it leaking from on the caliper? Bleeder or one of the seals inside?

Between your new set & your old set. Is the leak coming from the same side? Any chance it is your brake line itself. Seems pretty random to have your brakes be fine in the morning. Then upgraded with your new rear calipers. Only to have not only the new set but your old set that was fine leak. Something doesn't sound right there. Not sure when we are coming in or how far away you are from Palm springs. If your close I'd be happy to come by & lend a hand. Not sure I want to touch anyone's 914 though. My luck this trip is for shit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .

We are going to give it another shot this morning. It would have been nice if I would have known about the rear calipers not being complete. I just assumed for the money I paid, they would have a minute part on them that actually makes them work. I have three sets of rears now, I guess I can cobble something together. Super frustrating. Wish me luck.


We got 'R done!!!!!! See you guys in P. S.

Call me if you can get it over here this AM; we can go thru it.

Call me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) but I feel terrible about your unfortunate predicament. Especially since it's a Father/Son trip. So I'll make you this one time offer. Whitey is just sitting in the garage awaiting a tear down. You 2 can use her for the event if you'd like. LMK, Kent
