Holy crap it I leave in 2 days! Can't wait to leave. I need a break from work

We'll leave by 10am.

So last week went on a shakedown drive with the Porsche club and my brakes went out. Was oncall last week so no time for me to get the parts in and fix it myself. Thankfully we have a local guy that knows a bit about 914 brakes, no problem, towed to Erics, they dealt with it while i worked, first time in 15 years I have let anyone else wrench on one of my cars. Sorting out a couple minor issues that came up yesterday, dealing with this.

And now this morning the D-jet is acting up and its not starting. Was running perfect yesterday and ever since i built this car! My persistence in making this trip is being tested. I haven't had time to test things yet but i suspect I lost the MPS. Have to attend my day job today and until Wednesday. Running out of energy, at this point my attendance is up in the air.

Debating what will be faster, diagnosing the Djet and finding the parts to fix it, or pulling the Megasquirt setup off of my autocross car. Leaning towards fixing the D-jet short term but looks like another be doing another MS build in the near future.

Scouted today.

Currently $2.49 / gallon at the Conoco and $2.50/gallon at Shell, for Regular anyways.

What about Diesel

Those Porscharus will run on anything!

Pre-RRC Denver Porscharu meet up and tech inspection last night!

Hotel appears to have an enclosed pool drinking area.

Hope you get it up and running would be great to see you caravan with us to Ridgeway. Good Luck

Very nice Sharon - thanks!

Thanks, Fighting this one till the end and I still hope to make it. I probably wont finish everything I wanted to get done but did manage to address the problems that came up.

Got the d-jet working again. My MPS had decided it no longer wanted to hold vacuum. also found the harness side connector for my head temp sensor was just about broken off. Fixed both issues but my spare MPS is less than perfect (slight leak). going to see if I can borrow one from another local guy so I have a spare for the trip.

Don't give up yet! Someone generally has to bail at the last minute. Unfortunate but true.

I think we have Bronze bushings here...

I have a good MPS I an drop at pmb tomorrow, If needed

Washed the camper last night.

Bought a new bottle of Motrin for Christine.

I think I'm ready


Colorado Crew, Anyone else leaving Thursday after work?

Cool, Same for us. Likely tap out at Blue Mesa and camp Thursday night Join up with the group dinner Friday.

We're leaving around 6 Thursday night. Should be rolling in to Ridgway before 8....just in time for the fun to start. Maybe Val will put a dent in Christine's Fireball.

Dent this......

...yeah...I doubt she could put a dent in that one.

Oh ye of little faith......

I think we're headed out mid-morning but still not 100% sure.

We took off on Monday - enjoying the drive. We will be at Ridgway a little before noon tomorrow.

Can't wait! We're leaving Thursday morning. Probably just go through GJ. Flat towing the zambeziteen.

Sharon,

Do we have a request in to get a photo thread turned on?

I'll take care of it.

I thought you could - cheers!

It pays to be married to an Admin I guess.

I left a little early. Drove to my brothers in Redmond. Have A stop in bend tomorrow at Subie tech. Dropping off my wrx tyranny to get it mated to my new motor. Then on to SLC. Hope the weather improves as it rained most of my drive

Leaving for the airport; arrive in Montrose around 12:30 and getting a ride with Green914 to Ridgway.

Safe travels Jim.
