mike, keep the need for passports in mind if you're going to bc. wa residents can get a special dr license for to and fro. not the getting 'in' so much as the coming home. used to be id only, then id and birth cert. neither will suffice now.

Yes and no, definitely have your birth certificate and photo ID and your babies birth certificate.
BC has a lot of weed crossing the border so maybe extra hassle there.
US border is not going to hassle a citizen much, hate to say it but especially if your white (sad and they would deny it, but lets face it, true.)
Having a passport is the safest and best bet for zero hassles though.

it's the Enhanced Driver's Licensed or passport that's required to back and forth and come. if all he has is a d.l. from Pennsylvania, that's not going to do it.

I have 3 complete trans in unknown condition here in Discovery Bay! One was rebuilt at one of the clinics by another member and sold to a guy in Scotts Valley. He said it had a wine and bought another one! They are all available to purchase or I will be using them for parts! They all have broken mounting ears!

What does the good Dr. think about a Wavetrac LSD as part of my build and is anyone here using one and have feedback?
Thanks
Dr Evil
Dec 15 2012, 08:23 PM
No LSD is likely to be installed at the clinic as that takes special time and tools. I will see if I can work it out, but I will be on a strict time limit and doing stock builds and flipped gears.

Andy,
I had a Guard TBD in my 901 before I sold it and loved it. I tried to get one for my 915, but Hergesheimers had problems locating one and suggested the Wavetrac LSD, so that's whats in my 915 now, but i have no experience with it yet.. Pro's and con's. LSD is supposed to be better for the track and TBD is better for autocross and street. Check out this link for a thread over at Pelican.

The tailshifter in my -6 leaks a bunch and has taken to popping out of fifth gear under load. So I'm thinking Disco Bay would be good, if that's the Bay Area location everybody's converging on.
I know a local guy with a 912 (Chris F., believe Doc's heard from him previously) who's interested in a transmission clinic too...
Dr Evil
Dec 15 2012, 10:35 PM
I will be posting this on the 912, and Pelican boards soon enough. The NorCal locations for consideration are DiscoBay and McMarks in Sonoma. You decide.

I'd be in for the Harbor City one. My only spare box is a frozen side shifter so I may end up getting one to build for the clinic.
Dr Evil
Dec 16 2012, 01:37 PM
So the most definite ones thus far:
- Canada (at Mark's)
- SoCal (Couple of options)
- NorCal (At either Disco Bay or Sonoma)
Possible:
- PNW (????)
I will have to tally the results of this thread to see if others are possible.
I have my passport AND the Canadian boarder crossing ID card, too. Noel and Spawn will get their papers, dont worry.

I have been contacted by several of you wanting me to come to your area and do a clinic. There has been a recent change in my future plans that may allow for several clinics in and after June. Let me know if you want one.
Requirements:
- Enough paying people to cover my expenses (and make some $$ for the new baby to come)
- A place to do the work
Pretty simple.
Current places thrown about as candidates:
- Port Hope Canada (Gonna happen in June!)
- SoCal
- Richmond, VA
- Fredrick, MD
I would like more
Any place that I can drive to would be a bonus!
Updated nominated locations as of 12/14/12 AM:
- 2 Canada (I can drive so lower numbers acceptable)
- 1 Florida
- 1 for PNW
- 4 for SoCal
- 1 for Disco Bay the sequel
- 1 for Phoenix, AZ (was in a PM)
Check out the links in my signature for threads on past clinics and info on how they are run, and cost.
I would be willing to make my shop space avail. in Southern California. I'm located in Costa Mesa, adjacent to Orange County Airport.

Its not a good idea to plan a clinic with another event due to the clinics need to dominate ones time. The clinic takes a minimum of one full day, but I do two days as a buffer for issues and larger numbers.
