Dr Evil
During all of my clinics I have been approached about the video I mentioned making. The video WILL happen as I have recruited Eric (Cupomeat) and Cupomeat productions to professionally produce the vid. It will not just be well videoed, narated, etc, but Eric said he is going to audition a co host for me (like a tool time girl) which simply kicks ass! I need to finish the preliminary script and then go up and start working on it with Eric.

So, I am trying to gauge interest here. Let me know if you are interested so we can get an idea of production cost. More people = less cost and we are not looking to make a fortune (low cost to you guys).

I could be interested only if the viewers get the same abuse as they would as a participant at one of your clinics. biggrin.gif

I promise to try to make a high fidelity presentation of my personality. Really. Otherwise it will be a pretty boring video.

So long as the tool girl co-host is pretty enough to make up for your ugly....poke.gif

AH!!! The EVIl DR. Evil is back in "practice" spinning his magical web from the dark side!!

I have been trying to follow his trans build clinics and have to realize I will eventually have to rebuild myown 901 trans on my own. The good Doc is moving on to what he has been training for the past years, and he has great knowledge he is trying to pass to fellow 914ers.

I need one of the videos so sign me up.

been doing a lot of thinking about that since the great white clinic.

If you have a tranny that needs rebuilding and you have an option of attending a clinic you should do so. Not only is a great time but there are a lot of judgement calls (dog teeth in particular) where having the Evil one's experience is priceless. It is also nice having his stash of disassembly aids.

If you are going to rebuild after one of the clinics relying on memory is going to be a dangerous things. There are a lot of details in this work and it is easy to forget something. We need this video!

Mike/Cupomeat. Perhaps don't rely completely on video - cut in some macro stills to help with the judgement calls.

Great idea Mike. Maybe bundle it up with the consumables - seals, shift bushings ...

I'll buy one.

I'd be in for one.
it looks like I may have to rebuild my tailshifter myself. poke.gif

Great idea for those that couldn't make a clinic!

Now that I finally have a job, I'd send money for one of those!

I'm in. Just tell me where to send money.

Edit: Couple suggestions

1) You should do a 914 and 911 version side by side. This would appeal to two markets.

2) As an option sell the specialty low buck tools with the video.

I'd be in for one. I know i'm going to be into my box some day.

A sheet with required tools enclosed would be helpful also driving.gif

I'm in and I'll throw in an extra $10 if your co-host is in a bikini aktion035.gif w00t.gif

I would be interested, depending on cost and what the assistant is wearing or not wearing!!
ericread
I'm in. How about a section that deals with problems after the tranny has been reassembled?

Eric Read

I will most certainly buy one. Can I be the co-host? I will wear just a (German) leather apron and it will definitely increase sales, I promise. Sorry I missed your clinic in Canada, the timing just didn't work and yes I would have brought the good lobsters.

I'm in. The tool concepts or sales, and list would be great as an insert.

Also, I like the German apron thing.

Are you still sure you want to go into residency with ideas like this Mike?

If she is hot I volunteer to do the transmision oil rub down prior to the show to loosen her up piratenanner.gif

Jamie wants to be the "fluffer"! lol-2.gif

The idea of showing Good parts, useable parts and bad parts would be a good thing. Instead of a "Tool Girl" I think she should be a "Tool Wench"!

The other thing that comes to mind is the "upgrade" or for a lack of knowing what the hell it's really called, changing 1st gear assembly to the "newer style". Using the 2nd - 5th synchro hub, Brake bands, stop blocks and anchor blocks.

..I can see the credits now, rolling along listing many of us here who have instigated those 'word's of wisdom' sarcasm.

If bikini clad assistant costs' extra why not add 3 D and the glasses too!
