QUOTE(bradtho @ Aug 8 2016, 12:16 PM) I couldn't remember Chris's official business name, it's apparently Chris' German Auto Service, http://chrisgerman.com/. my comments should be in the heresay category, I've never asked Chris or Walker to work on a 914, so don't know for sure. Both are very well regarded for Porsche air-cooled work. Yeah, that's Chris Powell. Super knowledgeable guy. He's active with PCA and has hosted many workshops. I was under the same impression that John Walker doesn't work on 914's much-- I could totally be wrong. I'll give them both a call as well as Monty. We're have an abundance of great Porsche shops around year.... didn't know if one in particular rose to the top pertaining to Type 4/ 914s. Thanks again. |

sheesh, quiet month around here, no posts since 8/20. I really enjoyed the Artist point run. we should do better than one drive a year, though clearly this is the wrong season to bring that up!
Anyway, after several years of talking about it, I'm ready to start my 6 conversion. So if you have an engine hiding in your shed, or know a guy, or hear about something let me know. I'd consider anything from a 2.4 - 3.2. My opinion changes regularly on that, and I figure it's likely best to be a bit open in case a great option pops up. |

QUOTE(moldygreg @ Aug 5 2016, 08:37 PM) Howdy- Does anyone in the Seattle area have a recommendation for brake work? And approximate cost? I want to replace the master cylinder with a 19mm. After taking the engine out, refreshing it and putting the FI back to stock, I think I'm going to do myself a favor and outsource the job. Tired of crawling under the car! Any recommendations would be appreciated. Many thanks- Greg (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) just catching up - give adam bruno a call 206 914 0512 - adam used to work for jack morris at wolfsburg motors in ballard - jack moved his business to utah - adam is a great guy, and very knowledgeable with all air cooled porsche's - he gets busy though - hope this helps - p.s. walker is the man, but he prefers to stick to the air-cooled 911's |

If there's any of you guys that don't have a "family" to eat with on Thursday, you're welcome to join us. We rented the club house for our neighborhood and there's plenty of room.

I agree a 3.2 is plenty of power ... but I am the kind of person that cuts an air vent in the middle of the hood ...

After much back and forth with Hines, I settled on a 3.2 based on my driving habits (daily driver). A spin in greenie's Carrera helped seal the deal.
In other news, I've got a metal radio plate that I need to cut for a slightly bigger hole. It's probably 14-16 gauge metal and I just need to make straight cuts. What's the best CSOB tool for something like this? Or maybe someone close has a plasma cutter? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) adding a buch of money to your build and headaches with extra plumbing and all that goes with to have power you cant use seems illogical ....but i bet a 3.2 would be lots of fun to drive on a course with a TBD installed other wise im guessing lots of tire spin im very happy with the 2.4+ in my car... it has plenty of haul ass hope for a sunny day soon and well take her for a spin and invite Kurt and that slow ass 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) for a joy run up I-90 |

Good to know there's a couple other addicts in West Seattle. I'm still waiting for my teener to be finished. Currently at the upholstery shop in Ballard. It's been a journey. Would be great to meet up somewhere in WS to swap lies, do a drive, etc. sometime this coming year. I live above Alki, near Schmitz Park. Happy Thanksgiving all. - MR |
