Tech sessions are fantastic opportunities. It would be great if there were more than one tech session. I'd love to attend one on 4 wheel alignment. Maybe have tech session(s) kick off early when it's cool. beerchug.gif



I promised Kent I'd do this one.

I have the toe plates and tools and string.

It takes about an hour or so. Main thing is setting up the square and then the math.

Need a very flat surface tho.

Great. I can assist with set up and making some extra plates if it would mean more alignments that day. Rudy, Been meaning to get by your place but business before pleasure. Put us down for 2, please sir. beerchug.gif



Kent,

The toe plate is used to measure castor angle and an angle reference.

If you mean rear shims then yea.....bring as many different thickness you can. Those are tricky to put in as you know if the bolts haven't been soaked with PB Blaster. So whomever wants to do theirs as an example make sure that they are not rusted in place or no go. Soak them for a couple of days with PB. You don't want those breaking off.

The go carts look freakin cool.

Thanks Oscar for doing this.

Very good point. Those attending may want to begin the PB Blaster soak, now! I have a few extra shims I'll bring. Other's; pls do the same if you have some laying around. Just clean them of dirt, debris and rust. PM me with anything else I can bring for this forum. Any other ideas for a Tech Forum? No reason not to have another one run concurrently. Not everyone will be up for the alignment forum. I see a lot of folks are intimidated by welding. Those of us that do weld could bring our helmets for others to view instructors welds and then do some hands on welding themselves. I'm sure there are guys that would enjoy an intro to welding. Welding "intros" forums are usually received with a great deal of enthusiasm. piratenanner.gif



Excellent idea Kent!!! I have scrap metal and a Miller 170 mig set up there already, all we need is a qualified volunteer instructor..

Who wants to take this on? welder.gif smash.gif beerchug.gif



I will review this with Rudy and Eddy.

Count me and my dad in tentatively. so two people, and two 914's. We have a race in Sonoma two weekends after, so assuming there it nothing bad happening with the car, we should be there.

Also, I weld, have a welder, and can give MIG tutorials. if someone can bring a bunch of cleanish scrap steel, I can give demos.

Great '73-914kid-

You are ON. I have all we need in terms of welding gear and clean scrap metal. Perhaps we will need extra welding helmets. I will send you a pic of what I have to get your input

Thank you for stepping up...great Idea Kent!!!!

Kudos to you guys organizing & tech'ing at this gathering! smilie_pokal.gif

As an FYI for those who want to make a full day of Porsche Fun, the San Diego PCA Concours is that same morning/early afternoon down at Spanish Landing Park on San Diego Harbor (opposite Lindbergh Field airport) 9/16/17 9:00 - 2:30 pm.

Display (Corral & Timeline) is FREE & you can ask to be put near the entrance to leave early around/after their Lunch to make it by 1:pm for this. Even if you're entering a judged Division/Class, you can probably leave by 12-12:30-1-ish - once judging is finished - & just ask someone to get your award for you, or they'll get it to you later.

Here's their Reg link:

https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/pca-sd...an-diego-703863

It would be nice to have a strong 914 presence there again.

At this point I don't know if I'll be in town then, & if I am, then I'll probably judge, but may have to do some business after the show - but would try to stop by afterwards if I can.

I won't know my schedule for Sept. until Aug/early-Sept., & then if it's too late to sign-up/pay, I could just stop by to visit a bit on my way back to OC, if I am here & "if I'm free - or at least reasonable" ;-) - that day.

In any case, it wouldn't be in my 914, but one of the other cars.

Cheers! beerchug.gif

By the way I've sent messages to Mike D. to get a head count and I've not been able to get a response. Does anyone here know him? If so, tell him we need a head count.

Tom we would love to see you at the event. Price is $15 at the door or $10 pre-registered. Guaranteed that you won't be able to eat this good for $10 anywhere in SoCal.......not to mention see over 21 914's confirmed to be in attendance.
Tom_T
PS -

I forgot to remind all y'all that you can enter the SDR Concours for judging, your engine modded 914 in Special Categories SC-3 - whether it's a transplant of a Porsche, Subie, Chev, Mopar, or lawnmower motor!

Also, Friday Nite Aug. 4th is German Car Nite at Escondido's "Cruisin' Grand" - try to get there early & give yourselves time to park & cruise both the cars & the Pubs & Eateries there, but you can come-n-go anytime during the evening.

No, it won't be the great food deal of this event! chowtime.gif

If you can, plan on taking the day or 1/2 day to beat the Friday traffic.

It's a fun event, & my wife & I will be meeting up with a couple of my old HS buddies & their wives from San Diego (I was Uni HS `70 - they from Clairmont HS `69 & `72), maybe a few others.

It would be cool to get a good 914 contingent there too, if you can get the time off, & there are local hotels/motels with reasonable rates - if it's a long drive for you, or in case you crawl too many Pubs! drunk.gif

I'll bump the topics I made on Cruisin Grand & make one for SDR Concours this evening, or update the older one.

Cheers! beerchug.gif

That's a deal at twice the price! chowtime.gif

Where is the ranch venue relative to Old Town Temecula, or the Pechanga Casino (for the die hard gamblers out there), &/or the Temecula Creek Inn? I know where those are, so as a reference for me.

Those remind me of some similar wheeled Luge/Carts running in a GFR Cement 1/2 pipe set-up on the slopes at Park City back in the 1970s - I have no idea if they still have them up there now in the warm months, but if so, that's closer than Calgary ALB!

You'd take your "sled" on the chairlift to the top, & ride them down the 1/2 pipe at 60-70+ mph top end, & hope that you didn't go airborne, launched off the curves with the help of the ramp effect of the 1/2 pipe's curve!

We used to do them on the post tournament day(s) at the September Park City Rugby Tournament - it was verboten pre-tourney & on playing days cuz several guys went airborne & broke bones! Imagine 12 teams of 20-25 Rugby players jamming the lines, lifts & slopes/track in the mad quest for speed at all costs.

Hint - the bigger/heavier guys - & those who weighted themselves with rocks/etc. - got more speed, caught more air, & broke more bones! piratenanner.gif

It was fun nonetheless, but don't know if I'd try it today at almost 65! dry.gif

If they still have them at some of the Ski Resorts in CA, Rockies, etc. - then maybe a field trip to it off or the Red Rocks, Rte 66, WCR, etc. gatherings.

Did anyone check during WCR at Mammoth last month?

PS - this track & their carts on the video are much more civilized than the ones we rode, which was a basic plastic wheeled sled with a nylon rope to pull back on the brakes, which braking was marginal at best - compared to these.

Thanx for sharing Mark! beerchug.gif

For me, I won't know a number until late - e.g.: wife comes along &/or anyone else tags along, so I'll PM or email you ahead of time with a number to make sure it's okay, & to see if you want me to bring anything food-wise potluck.
