May I have your ATTENTION, please ...
If your car doesn't have an FM [broadcast band] radio, don't forget to pack a portable FM radio for the 'DRIVE-IN MOVIE' (planned for Saturday night at the Double Tree parking lot) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Ahdoman will be providing a video projector and I just purchased one of these nifty little FM audio transmitters: (IMG:http://www.mobileblackbox.com/images/V6000_splash11.jpg) Don't forget the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

It's not your dad's 914! Group: Members Posts: 1,197 Joined: 17-October 03 From: San Jose, CA Member No.: 1,256 Region Association: Northern California |
Really looking forward to "pulling chocks" at 9am Friday - taking 101. Fresh oil change, brakes checked/bled and the turbo is not leaking oil!
Hey Joe: Just curious - how many 914s are currently scheduled to be in attendance? |

We talked about LeMans, and a few others.
The main feature is going to be the 'original' "Gone in 60 Seconds" (1974). I They shot a lot of this locally (here in the South Bay) ... saw a lot of the filming in Redondo Beach and Torrance (my neighborhoods)  |

I have been working on the Alien since Friday night.
Pulled the timing belt, cooling tubes, Cam sprocket to fix an oil leak behind the sprocket. PITA! Replaced the alternator. (70 amp Bosch to 140 amp small frame) Replaced my cap, rotor and added a set of Megacor 8mm wires. Adjusted my shift linkage. Hard wired in a power inverter. ( I have to work in the car while Sandy drives... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ) Hard wired in an accessory jack. Rewired my fan relay and temp switch. I'm moving the temp switch from the radiator to the engine block. I had a huge fitting to attach to the head. It took hours to make a plate with the temp switch fit. I had to rewire the power from the front of the car to the rear. Remove the consule for access... I am having the engine temp turn the fans on instead of the radiator temp. This should keep my engine cooler this year. I had my block bored out and it heat up faster with thinner cylinders walls. Tomorrow, change the oil and filter Lean out the injection. Check the tires, pack the car. I'm picking up Sandy at 4:30 Tuesday. and we hit the road! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) |

One of the first things I did to our '71 was to install a Sony CD/MP3 player and ran the 'hot' lead to a 'hot' source on the fuse box (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
... so we don't need to leave the ignition on when parked in a romantic setting overlooking the Pacific Ocean from high atop the cliffs of the Palos Verdes Peninsula on a hot balmy evening (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ... however, I think Steve mentioned something about providing a portable sound system as well as a projector - you know, for those who might start congregating around I don't know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ... I've never attempted anything like this before. There will be an intermission if anybody needs to recharge their battery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

Anyone comin' south on I-5, if you want to, we can form a herd and head south from here in Santa Clarita...Some of the folks from PNW may stop in and we already have at least three cars...Would like to leave before 1 in hopes of beating some of the heaviest traffic...
Coming south on I-5, get off at Rye Canyon exit (on the right, the one before Magic Mountain and the 1st as you come into Santa Clarita)...Turn Left...1st stop light is Rye Canyon...Turn Left...1st stop light is Avenue Stanford...Turn Left...1st two story building on your left, maybe 500 yds...You will see the old beat -up Speed Yellow teener sittin' out front... The other guys are itchy to leave eariler the better...If we don't get outta here by 1, we will be sitting on the I-405 parking lot for a long time...At 1, we might just beat the traffic... Lemme' know...via PM... Rick Evans |

The 405 will add an hour to your route. Take the 5 South to the 10 East to the 710 South to the 405 South.
