The tool is a black square tube with white hockey tape on one end and a 901 slider gear welded to the other end. Looks a little like a modern day cladiator weapon! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

If ya wanna know what color got the most attention, it was Joel's ice blue car followed second by blacky the flat black one. All the ladies that I spoke to loved that light metalic blue and it really was sweet according to my taste. I like the maintanence free thing of the flat black one as well as the huge meats on the rims. As for the bumpers, its nice to shed a few pounds with FG ones and smaller the rear one the better but thats just me. The front one is all function as well as looks. If performance and a front oil cooler is in the works, then you have to take that into account as well as keeping the air from going under the chassy for speed. There are lots of pics in the member's car pics thread and I'm certain many parts in member's garage which are available at a discount. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Have fun with it bro. |

That's funny - Rod/Root told me if you dip it in a bucket of soapy water it makes great bubbles - hum : )
the aka:tool doubles as a martial arts weapon but I suggest Evil protect his bad ass self from his self taught kung fu moves by wearing helmut : ) I juts put a downpayment on a 350 SBC V8 from a 1969 4spd Camaro I just test drove - shit - chirpping tires by accident felt nice - and best part is that it is estimated to have about 320HPs - what ever that means : ) |

This was the first event I've attended and I had a great time meeting and talking to everyone. Thanks again to Kerry, Alan, & Caroline, for setting up and hosting the event. Excellent job and great food!!
I was actually surprised to hear so many positive comments about the color of my 914. From some of the posts on the forum I had gotten the idea that some of the blues weren't very well liked by club members, I assumed mine was one of them. I was quite happy to hear all the good comments. I had an RX-7 in almost the exact same color and loved it. I need to fix my hood though, can't stand that it doesn't fit flush on one side. To anyone interested, it is Marathon Blue Metallic, code L96M. Great pictures Zach! Caroline, could that be the used alternator? |

It looks like you guys had a great event! I thought serously about riding down with Ray Gonsalves but really couldn't spare the 24 hours. A new 914 customer was at my shop 'til afternoon yesterday while I finished up the week's work on his car so he could drive it home.
Ray, how was the trip? Uneventful I hope. You've had enough problems with your car recently. It looks like you were an integral part of the tech session there. Did it shift a lot better on the way home? |

Rays car:
-Cup bushing at end of shift rod - gone - replaced - 1st gear - critical/worn parts - 2nd gear - critical/warn parts - Front tranny seal leaking = saturated clutch disk = slipping, and glazing of both flywheel and pressure plate. Ray and Sean cleaned and deglazed both. I replaced the clutch disk and front tranny seal afterwards. At the end he had no tranny leaks, he could find 1st, and the clutch was working correctly. He still needs a rebuild on his tranny, though. Caroline and Alan, you are two increadibly awsome people. I honestly just liked hanging out with the two of you. I wish I lived closer. Thank you for hosting the event and allowing me to work on Ray's car in your driveway. Kerry, as always thanks for doing all of the work to make this happen. It was great to meet many of you (I didnt meet all of you). I am pleasantly supprised at how many great people we have in our reagion. I am lucky to know all of you. Special thanks to Zach for driving driving me to the event and all the way home adding two hours to your trip. This allowed Noel to use our only functioning car yesterday, allowed me to go to the ECC, allowed me to come home with the tranny to be rebuilt, and allowed me to get to know you a lot more. Your one cool dude (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) This was by far one of my favorite events ever, even though I was working the whole time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

I believe it was one of the donated give-away items . . . I'd say if no one claims it, you've got a (hopefully) good used spare alternator! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
You could always make an artsy lazy-Susan out of it!! |

This was absolutely a great event! A lot of work went in to making it the success that it was .... thank you Kerry ... excellent MC'ing skills. Also a big thanks to Caroline and Alan for being such gracious hosts. And finally, a really big thanks to all the teeners that showed up, some put in a lot of miles to get there.
My first event but certainly not my last. It felt like .... well, kinda like coming home. What with all of those odd looking cars produced 30 some odd years ago all together. Once you got there, you knew you belonged. Just a great group of guys and gals. Thank y'all kindly. |

Thanks for sharing the fun and photos.
Now can anyone tell me? What color is the 1973 914 with Virginia Plates, PSW-648. I am color blind. Looks grey to me but so do red, yellow and all other colors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) MikeCool |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ok well first i would like to thank caroline and allen for hosting the event and letting evil do his thing!!! i would like to thank everyone who attended as it wouldn't have gone without. yes it would have been great to have racerchris at the event to answer 'q's... yes i had an eventfull week prior to the picnic. they say bad things happen in 3's.. first i lost the clutch cable driving on a on ramp in heavy traffic... fixed it then while jacking it up to adjust the cable the jack post collapsed into the car and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .. went to get gas at station and bottomed out on the ground pump filler.. took out the motor mount bolt, it ripped right out.. fixed it so i knew i wouldn't have problems going down to the picnic. i was a 8 hr. ride and it was uneventful until i lost 1 gear... some of the hills in va are not condusive to slipping clutches (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) .. but i did make it in the driveway to a reserved space up front at caroline and allens.. by the way they have a big enough house to host the whole 914 club and we could have pizza from the pro pizza oven in their kitchen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) ... as you saw the car went up on jackstands and thats where it stayed ALL day.. we got done at 8 and after i test drove it and a few adjustments we were on the road!!! THANKS to DR. EVIL!!!!!!!!!!! he is the man and proved to be a wealth of information to us all who listened.... driving home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) was a lot more fun than incoming... i was doing way over the speed limit .. no tickets or problems... yes i have 1,2,3,4,5 it will be better when i get the full tranny rebuild from the DR. .... it was really great to meet the faces of 914... hope to see ALL again soon!!!!!!
