Yep, here in the 'ham. There are a couple other teeners around here too. Nord has a gorgeous silver 2.0.

You should check out Chuckanut Sports Car Club if you get a chance. CSCC Great group of guys. Several Porsche owners (w/o stereotypical 911 superiority syndrome), along w/ a smattering of bimmers, english jobbies and some modern japanese tech. Roger has a sick little road course prepped Tiger that he's been known to attack Bellingham asphalt w/ his headers. aktion035.gif

You guys with ideas on selling spare stuff on the net and such after the event, bring your boxes and I will help part and sort them so you know what you have and what is crap smile.gif

I may end up bringing a box to build for myself Doc smile.gif I think all of mine are good but I may as well have a nice fresh box wink.gif

Destruction has commenced. Oil now draining, then up into the air.

Ended up having to get a new jack too, as mine was too small for the CFR support tool. Really not a big deal as I've been wanting one for a couple years now. This just gave me the excuse to pull the trigger.

Cool, Michelle wants to join the fun. She's always liked the local 914 crowd. screwy.gif

I think we got our official last drive in the 914 yesterday before the tranny comes out. The sun actually poked out and it really warmed up. We drove around for a couple of hours before some clouds started rolling back in. Nice to get a drive in before it's up on jackstands. I think that'll be this weekend?

Tranny Clinic is coming up fast! smash.gif

Looks like I need to get caught up on the program. just sent in my $ to attend. I am sad to report that I am required to attend a Rotary event Saturday night. It the annual auction and since someone else paid for my dinner, I can't stiff them. I might be able to come back laer that evening. If this clinic is anything like the last one showing up at 11:00 for a late night toast (or three) wouldn't be out of the question.

Wasn't there a thread on what we needed to bring for snacks or splitting the cost of the potty?

I have taught some pretty dense people how (its ok, they dont know that I am talking about them biggrin.gif ).

Okay 914 peeps, we're talking eats and BBQ for this event. I will gladly do the prep and cooking for this event. I'll bring the Binford and have her set up for a good grubbing.

Need input on what you would like to see: Lunch or Dinner on Saturday?

I can do Baby Back Ribs or Pulled Pork Sandwhiches.

I believe I can do a whole slab of ribs + slaw + cornbread per person at $20 a person.

Dinner would be my thought, allows tending and cooking all day. Allows trannies to be complete and hands to be cleaned up. When I did my rebuild clinic it was a simple sandwhich and kept working thru the day.

Who's in? chowtime.gif



(Dr. Evil, I will also get you some oysters for the Saturday snacks too)



So I will go with what works for me! Will take donations for the dinner meal. Will need a count on how many MOUTHS are there to eat. I will begin preparing on Wednesday before the event.

BBQer's choice poke.gif

Meal:
Try a little "wide open throttle" dish (grilled half shell oysters), for those who can handle it.

"Tranny Tear-down" (bacon wrapped Jalepeno's)

Working in a good "gear stack" (pile of BBQ meats)
Add a 'sychro' (slaw and/or beans)

Finally: 'cool down lap'. (driver/self sponsored cold beverage)


A custom "Dr. Evil 90w BBQ Sauce" will be created for this event (a little touch of 'shut the hell up' and a bunch of 'I'm a Doctor, trust me') dry.gif

If anyone is planning on spectating (so your not on the list) and wants to eat make sure you give Mark notice so he can make enough grub!

Just wanted to give some more props to our host, Mr. C.

We talked yesterday and he offered his truck to me for the week so I would not have to spend on a rental! What a guy smile.gif

My wife and I are always shocked/pleased about the people we meet here. They are generous, just like us smile.gif

I want food chowtime.gif . Although no oysters or the atomic things. Meat drooley.gif Love it!

Mike is a cool dude. Especially if he has his crown to fall back on beer3.gif . Hey Mike do I still have a bed in the trailer?

Look what I found on my doorstep? (forgot the pics but 3 sets of seal/gasket kits) I'm ready to build some tranny's now

I'd like to spectate and eat. popcorn[1].gif chowtime.gif

Is there room to set up a tent or dry place to lay out a sleeping bag? I'm trying to save my money for transmission parts for future build.

I can bring my own BEvERages (with enough to share of course) and chip in for food.

Thought I'd stop by Saturday morning to spectate/meet and great. If anyone needs a tailshifter core, I'll bring it with me but I don't want to drag it home. Thinking of throwing a pair of fattys in the cooler for the grill. One german and one mexican.

What's a Mexican fatty?

Boy am I asking for it
Mr.242
I have a tailshift that I grabbed that has the rear mounting tabs broken off. It appears this tranny sat for a long time and hasn't been used in years. I will bring that and maybe it has some good pieces in it that someone can use. Someone might be able to grab the tailcone off another and have a pretty good tranny....who knows.

Dr. Evil....enjoy the $4.15/gallon diesel. YIKES!

There's 3 answers to that question. One'll get ya busted, the other two are a bit heavy on cholesterol and only one of those you can ever tell anyone about after indulging.

I have no intention of getting busted and we should all be able to talk about our escapades later.

A "Fatty" is a filling of your choice (I use cream cheese, jalepanios, tomatoes etc. for my "mexican" fatty) wrapped in pork sausage, then wrapped in bacon and smoked or grilled until you just HAVE to have it. Imagine what a griller would think of a turducken.

A german fatty is pretty much the same thing except with spatzel, sauerkraut and cheddar in the middle. Unless you're in Bavaria, then it's all those from Hessen. On the up side, you never need a compass in Germany. The wide ones are always north.

Finally got the motor & trans out of the car last night. Going to try to get the trans separated from the motor and cleaned up for a possible delivery next weekend.

Going to take advantage of the motor being out to tend to a couple other things before it all goes back together in June/July or so.

I was going to be a last minute show until last week. Doc, the Teener ran like crap in Tahoe cause she blew cylinder #4. I took her out for the first time since then and thought maybe it was just the valvesneeding adjustment. Nope! So, thanks to Jamie (jrust) I will hopefully be picking up a motor next week. Well actually the wife saw what you had told me about. She went and decided to call the guy herself and worked out a deal. It was a very nice surprise! Anyways, if things go well than I should have the Teener ready for the WCR! Sorry to be missing this event but I need a motor more than a rebuilt trans. Im sure the Doc will be out here again and I will attend that future event. Good luck and have fun everyone.

Glad to hear it Drew! If I can be of any help let me know

I was "suppose" to pull the tranny out this last weekend. But Saturday was 70 degrees, so we drove the 914 instead.

driving.gif

I'll start the pull process over the week and have it all ready by this weekend. Ensures I won't be pulling an all-nighter to be ready for the 7th.

Bad news, good news. We put an offer on a house in Lake Forest Park and the seller accepted the offer smile.gif . That means I will not be able to attend the clinic and do my tranny because I don't want to drop the tranny in my car and I don't wnat to spend money at the moment to buy another tranny sad.gif I will try to come down and watch for some time. Already informed Dr Evil and asked whether he will do another one next year, my tranny is leaking and the syncros are not the best, hope to be able to attend the next one.

Jamie, thanks for the offer. I simply fear that if I drop the tranny I will not be able to get it in before we move 2 weeks later (if everything works out with the bank). I also have my 996 (which is the best car I ever had) listed for sale, if I'm able to sell the car in the next week I will try to get another tranny and attend but the market for Porsche 996 is DEAD sad.gif All the people seem to fear catastrophic engine failures on 996 and Boxster, in reality these are great cars. So let's see what the next few weeks bring, I will come down, either for looking around and learning or for doing a tranny. At the end the house has priority at the moment because happy wife happy life biggrin.gif

Doc,

So I've got out of a business trip to China and now the only thing standing in my way of attending the clinic is moving someone on Friday. If all goes well, is showing up at the door with cash in hand and tranny ready acceptable?

Hey. Where in Puyallup do you live? I live in South Hill. Not trying to hi jack the thread just curious. I may end up going to this too if I can get the money. I would like to rebuild my transmission for the experience and because I believe some of my synchros are going out.

All home grown pork. Never touched water. Goat milk only. The bacon is divine. Don't do it more than once every two or three months or you'll need to keep the phone number of a good cardiologist in your wallet.
