I'm looking for a good core to rebuild on my own. I'll be there on Sunday, if anyone has a good core that they want to sell. Bring it.



I'm bringing an extra which I will probably be pillaging a couple of bearings out of.

Dunno if that helps but, if so, we can work out a deal fo' sho'. =)

Trying for 9am depending on traffic and hangover status from Jim Tab's house (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Dont start without me!


WRONG!!!

Do start without the Dr.

The more you have disassembled and cleaned by the time the Dr. rolls in, the more time you will have with the Dr. to work on replacement and reassembly. And don't worry about keeping the gear parts together, the Dr. will move everything around anyway.

BTW: Make sure your completely disassemble the gear casettes and really, really clean them or risk being sent back to your cleaning tank.

Have fun everybody!

The shop is officially As-Clean-As-Its-Gonna-Get. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Andy, I bought some filters and used those and it seemed to make better coffee. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Good thing I can build cars better than I can make coffee. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

See everyone tomorrow!

Feh. I'm sick, so I will be attending neither the clinic nor the other activities that were scheduled for this weekend.

My table is out. Yopu has appointments so she needs the 4Runner. I had to beg a ride with Jim Dupree because ironically and tragically, I blew the hell out of the 915 in the Carrera tonight on my way home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Pics! Well, they're uploading now and will be finished by 1 AM:
http://pixelrandy.zenfolio.com/evil_clinic

I can't thank Mike (Dr Evil) and Mark enough for putting this together. Had a great day, got a lot done and learned a lot too. Lunch was fantastic and whoever brought the pulled pork is a hero in my book. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I went through three of my 901s before finding a gearstack worth digging into. Lots of high mileage junk with broken bits in the first two. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

I left Sonoma around 8 tonight and there were still a bunch of guys working and drinking beer. I need to return tomorrow to have the shift forks aligned and then to put the stack back into the housing. Almost done though and it looks like it's going to be awesome! My last gearbox for Blue had 350K miles on it and when under load was louder than the motor.

Hope everyone else had success today and it was great getting to reconnect with those of you I hadn't seen in a while! We should do this sort of thing more often.

I'll be back around 10-11 tomorrow. Night night,

Jim and I got my gear change done and headed home by about 9pm. Stopped and had dinner at Chili's and hit the bed back in Sac by 11pm or just after. (well, mostly Jim (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif))

The food was great, it was great to meet new people, and better to see old friends again.

I had so much fun and I didn't even bring a box! Our people are great! Even the 912 NARP bitches are cool. The gear box is something I've only changed seals and flanges and even the tail cone. I kinda avoided. Dr. Evil is great. I learned so much. It may have been better that I didn't have a box because I watched him do 1-2 of the same proceedures. Then I helped others. I had my hands in so many peoples boxes that I feel a little....dirty. Thank you.

Adding today's photos to the gallery. Should be all finished by 10 PM PST:

Yep! He had it going in the earlier part of the afternoon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) He and Mike left the shop around 8 PM, so they should be have been back at his house a little over an hour ago.
