PeeGreen 914
If you need more people to pay I will sign up after the closing of a sale I have pending, March 30th.

That said, I was just planning on coming down to BS since I have a two transmissions in good shape smile.gif

Just let me know Doc beerchug.gif
Dr Evil
Na, I just need the deadbeats that said they were paying to pay whip[1].gif poke.gif

With Drew, that makes 2 cash customers so far rolleyes.gif I am coming out either way, it is a vacation for me.
Daiberl
Check is ready, I just have to send it sad.gif I will drop it into the mail this week, promised!
Dr Evil
AS for my attitude, I am joking. Its better than just bumping the thread biggrin.gif

I love you guys and am honored to be hosted and have an audience thumb3d.gif
Dr Evil
Now is the time to make a suggestion that will save you some head ache later.

Pull your stacks so that we can at least inspect the pinion teeth and make sure your boxes are worthy of rebuild or as parts.

Hi Doc, I'm In,
and just bought a spare box on Evilbay. it should arrive this week, I have to let the smoke clear before I drop 3 bills so momma dosn't come unglued. If the air miles thing dosn't work out let me know, I have a few 10K I could spare.
The $$ will be heading your way soon.....

If you want a rebuilt box I am sure one of us can do it for you.


I may need to reconsider.......it would help with part of my time issue for getting stuff fixed on the car......

Would anyone be up for tackling my trans for me if I kick the doc some scratch???

I'd need to get it pulled, drained, cleaned & delivered before April 15th. After that, I have no time until June. blink.gif
PeeGreen 914
You got it buddy beerchug.gif I live in South Everett if you want to drop the box off at my house sometime. I'd be happy to do the rebuild for you.

Cool. Thanks Jon. I'll decide for certain w/in the next week and get back to you (and Doc). I should hopefully have enough of the garage cleaned out that I can get the car in this weekend (that's the plan anyways). Sitting outside this winter has taken it's toll on her. sad.gif I've got some work ahead of me if I have a snowballs chance in hell at WCR (assuming I can even get away from work).

This should help maintain my sanity. For a couple weeks there, I sort of had the car for sale........ chair.gif Don't know what the hell I was thinking.

You don't want to sell your car silly poke.gif

Get off your ass Chris. I may not be able to attend the Clinic either.

I just had a family thing come up that will need the money instead. Nothing crazy, just need to funnel the money elsewhere. But there is a glimmer of hope I still can make it!

I still want the trans Jamie (sent Doc the money) and I still want the parts Doc. It's the registration and travel money that is being sent elsewhere.

My father and I are planning to attend. One of is going to be a paying student the other an observer, one box as of now. When is the dead line to pay? I start work next week, so I will have to wait for my paycheck or sell some parts before then. Anyone looking for some stainless heat exchangers in washington? smile.gif

Are the stainless heat exchangers for a 2.0??? If yes I might be interested, are they in good shape?
Loser_Cruiser
Not to hijack but to answer No. They are the 1.7/1.8 flavor. In very good shape though.
Dr Evil
FYI, if you want to do two people working on the same box, that is cool for the price of one. Basically, dont abuse me smile.gif If you are all in it to build one box and learn, that is fine and no need to pay for two people. The payment is for one or more boxes. One or more per person, etc.

Glad that people getting things figured out. Chris, Jon and I will take good care of you.

If anyone can not make it and needs one built, I can do it there.

As for deadline, I think I will have enough soon to make it worth while so just do the best you can.

Drew, PM me if I can help you.

Tore down 2 tail'ies yesterday in anticipation . smile.gif Some interesting finds.
Root_Werks
The tipping point for me attending is finding an H for my 5th. Anyone have one? I don't want my 914 on jackstands for more than a couple of days this summer.

If I can't find an H gear, the tranny will stay in this summer and I'll just have to tackle it another time.

I could use one too. Maybe even 2 but I doubt I can spare the coin before. Maybe a group buy on "H" gears??? What say you Evil confused24.gif
PlaysWithCars
How about a 'U' fourth? How hard and $$$ are they to come by? Playing with the gear charts I've convinced myself that an A-GA-N-U-ZA box is the right compromise for me to keep a decent cruising box with good splits for my 2.4E motor. I have all of the gears but the 'U'.

Also, at some point in the future I know I will "need" (at least that's how my wife always says it with her fingers quoting in the air around the word need). Anyway, I will "need" a locking differential. If I set up the box now with an open diff, how much rework is there to put another diff in it at a later date? Should I just wait to do it all at once?
Dr Evil
I am working on an H gear for Dan. Sale is pending, I have to buy the whole tranz.

A U gear is harder to come buy than an S gear. Take an S gear and flip it and you have a U. However, a U gear is one tooth away from a V gear, which is a stock 914 gear. I doubt you would feel the difference....other than in your wallet.

Why anyone would want a locked diff is beyond me, unless you mean an LSD. If you plan on messing with your diff, time to do it is when the tools and people are available, IMHO.
PeeGreen 914
I have an X gear sitting around if someone needs it.

Turns out I got an H & a W out of that the 1st box smile.gif
Dr Evil
It is definitely on! I just got confirmation that the missus and I will be arriving at Sea/Tach on May 6th at 11:26pm. Gonna be a long day, but thanks to KELTY360 we have tickets TO the clinic. Now I am working on getting return flight tickets. smile.gif
PeeGreen 914
May be able to get you comp tickets.
Dr Evil
Let me know. I want to have the tickets all settled by the end of the week (Sun night). My other source trying to get comp tickets is getting closed out of the dates I need. I will buy the one way return tix if I have to, or I can trade labor for them smile.gif
Root_Werks
The Evil one was able to secure an H gear for me. So my check is in the mail and I'm in for the Clinic.

Mike, I wanted to thank you for helping source parts, time and other resources for this clinic. I hope you make some good money off this event. You're putting alot of effort into it.

See you in May!

Actually, I had planned on pulling my tranny and prepping it as much as I could (Cleaning etc) and bringing just the tranny down.

Trying to keep it as easy as possible for Dr. Evil.

I'll be heading down in the squareback so I should have room for a couple more trannies. I can haul them down for you if you want.
