Dr Evil
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 smile.gif 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 smile.gif
- 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 am still interested in hosting or attending a Bay Area clinic! I have a flipped H gear with a syncro kit to install in a back up trans as well as a complete Jwest shifter kit from front to back! It would be awsome to have a bunch of great minds helping out!! beerchug.gif

PS: I have 3 doner transmissions for those who may need parts!

I'd be your first paying customer in SoCal, but I don't have a place suitable to host the event. I still need some H gears; have you come across any?

WA or OR smile.gif I have at least one transmission I need to rebuild for the LE.

Well, i could throw some money your way if you are willing to build up my 915.

It's gotta be pretty soon though, the car needs to be done in time for the WCR 2013.

+1 for so cal....

We talked about this at the Tropical Ramble. Here is my nomination for Joe's Series 9 shop in Deland, Florida! Come enjoy some Florida sun. Its better than the California kind... along with our oranges bootyshake.gif smile.gif

I'm in if you come back to Mark Henry's in Port hope.. I have a trans just sitting on a shelf waiting. smile.gif

Mike, You can always do a clinic here in Frederick. There's more room in my garage at the moment now that the 911 is temporarily out of the way.
SUNAB914
I don't have a transmission yet, but I would attend again in Richmond.
peteyd
Im in for Port Hope, Or somewhere in southern Ontario
Mark Henry
I'll be hosting the one in Port Hope, Ontario, again.
Right now we are looking at a June date and maybe we can have an informal Porsche show and shine as well.
We need enough people taking the clinic to make this happen.
So far we have MrHyde, peteyd and a fellow from the bird board (911-901) so we still need some more paying participants.
Spectators are free, I have lots of room to pitch a tent or park an RV.
I also know that Ian Stott would also be coming down from Moncton with a cooler full of lobster.

My shop has a lift, air compressor, blast cabinet and parts washer and I'll have plenty of work benches.

I'm planning to start seperate thread on this shortly, we need to get enough peeps together to nail Dr.Evil down on a firm date.
Anyone who thinks they can for sure get in on this please PM me and I'll start a list.

Andy, your 915 would be free for labor smile.gif Just send it to me.

So the count seems to be, and I will update the first post:
- 2 Canada (I can drive so lower numbers acceptable)
- 1 Florida
- 1 for PNW
- 4 for SoCal
- 1 for Disco Bay the sequel smile.gif
- 1 for Phoenix, AZ (was in a PM)

These are all possible if I can get some people to commit to (saying that they will, no money to transfer, yet) pay for the clinic. I have resources in most of these places wink.gif

Well, OK. It looks like I have been Shanghaied into Port Hope, Canada in June wink.gif Mark and I were discussing, but I was not firm on dates. This works for me, though. thumb3d.gif

We need that firm date from you. popcorn[1].gif

You have 5 weekends to choose from, although the weekend of June 23-24 is likely the big VW bug show in Niagara Falls, not a big deal but keep that in mind.
Dr Evil
Dude, I am in the state of flux for my future and June is the big one. I will be moving in June, have a new baby, and will have to start a new job that has yet to materialize. I will let you know when I know wink.gif
JStroud
I'd be up for Disco Bay again, the one I built there last year is whining a little, shifts awsome though. I've got three others now that need going through also.

I am in for So Cal with a spare box ready and money.

My garage is available or nearby Mike. Summertime would be fine.

Six total so far for SoCal! piratenanner.gif

Summer's great for me. Of course, Mike's schedule ultimately dictates the date. Anybody out there with some H gears for sale? That's the last piece of the puzzle for me.

How about spring break in Florida?

By June it is way too hot...

John
Rand
I have a spare sideshifter waiting for the next Evil clinic opportunity I can make.

I don't suppose Reno / Tahoe is an option? (We could get super-promoter Rob on cheerleader duty!)

Otherwise Bay Area would be a good epicenter. McMark would be a stellar host.
Dr Evil
Disco Bay, and McMarks are near the Bay area. I would be happy to do Reno, Tahoe, outer Mongolia, I just need numbers smile.gif
914Eric
I'm up here in the PNW (Washington/Idaho border) and I am in need of some synchro work at a minimum. I talked to you already about it and you just said to let you know.

If you were coming to the PNW, would that be preferable to do it then? I'm a newbie, so I really don't know how these clinics work, how much they cost, or what kind of guarantees you need?
pete000
SO CAL !!

I need to go through my wifes 914 trans as it is tough to get into first gear and she gets irritated. driving-girl.gif
Dr Evil
Florida is on the radar. I dont care about the heat.
monkeyboy
So Cal. Just let me know when so I can pull the transmission from my car.

Hmm... I could do that alternator swap while I had it out too... smile.gif
yeahmag
I'm a tentative for a SoCal. Got a spare box or two that I'd like to make one with short/flipped gears.

I could do Fla this summer, I would need lead time 90 days or so for work scheduling.

Prefer the St. Pete area, but I can travel.

I'm thinking part of Tropical Ramble - can you do a Rebuild in the time between being thrown out of a plane & hitting the ground?

Really? Cool! Long way to go but you are for sure welcome!

Coming that far I'd be planning my vacation around it. I'm in the Ganaraska forest if you have a dirtbike or I'm on the border of the Kawartha lakes if you're into fishing and camping. Toronto is 1 hour away if you like the city. Montreal is 3.5 hours away.

You can have my girls room, it's bigger than the room you were in last time. Noel will like my wife and Elizabeth and Kim will be all over your little evil spawn.
Another reason i'll need to know the date is I want my wife to try and book that weekend off.

Add another vote for the PNW- I think that makes 3 now. I'm in Seattle, but I'd drive to Portland or Vancouver if that would help. Ready to write the check now!
I'll also offer up my studio and guitars for some free recording!

C'mon you PNW guys, chime in!
