So how many people are actually bringing a 914 to this event?

Keep yer fingers crossed for me. I might get this teener I bought yesterday to make the trip. It's only 6.5 hours and about 360 miles one way.

Slits did that. Bought a 914, and that same day, drove from Riverside, Ca. to Phoenix, AZ. and back! But then again, we are talking about Slits.

NO. We're not talking about Slits.
If he is not comming to the RRC - he does not count.

So officially we had said the deadline was monday.
I guess our registration is closed enough that we can get our reservations at the restaurants...

Once we have the final numbers, somebody post or e-mail me and I will confirm with the restaurants.

Right now - chances look pretty slim that I'll be driving my 914 to Moab. I'm pretty disappointed. There's always next year right?

I'm bringing mine! For me that's the whole point - a road trip in my 914.

Ernie, are you driving from Flagstaff?

QUOTE (MW 914 @ Sep 6 2005, 10:12 PM)

Ernie, are you driving from Flagstaff?

Yup. I'm not exactly sure yet of when I'll be leaving, but it will be Friday morning. Caravaning with folks from Phoenix/Tucson or anyone coming in on I-40 would be great. I made the trip about 10 days ago as far as where the 191 heads north and roads are in great shape. I'm psyched to go!

I'm heading to Flagstaff on Thursday night and I will be ready to go from there first thing Friday. Let's hope we can get some others together as well.

I met Mike at a BBQ down here. I look forward to meeting you as well.

Add one more to the list. A buddy of mine is tagging along with me. He doesn't have a 914 but the temptation of a lot of was too much for him to resist.

Sounds like good news all around. Just heard of a couple of (local) lurkers that will be joining us and I got my #3 sparkplug hole rethreaded and found a correct ecu to test on my car.

Who knows, with a little dtermination, this thing might be back on the road next week. Who knows.

Keep at it! You can do it! I just got my CV problem fixed last night and got to drive it today as a birthday present to myself. Pretty good gift too!

I got a little (ok a lot) wrapped up in it last week and had to take some time to breathe.

Fixed one problem, tackle the other and...fingers crossed.

I'm definitely feeling better about it.

This is all great news, especially you Ben!
I have a couple of things myself, getting started this weekend.

I can't wait to meet everyone and put faces to all of the internet names.

Were almost there everyone!!!!!!

I made my reservation via email a couple of weeks ago and realized yesterday that I never got a response.

I'm pleased to report that, as of this morning, they still have rooms available at the Archway Inn.

But, were ya able to get one at the Club Price?

Look forward to partying with you again Joe!

I have said earlier that I was planning on bringing my Mountain Bike. I have decided to make packing easier and just bring running stuff instead, so any other trail runners planning on going, give me shout if you want to find a hour or so for a "fun" off road run.

Nope, Moab's only 5 hours from Denver , if you hustle that is

Damn Right!

just wanted to make this green again on my screen

I'll make it green again!!!

My car runs! It will be coming to Moab!!!

I am so excited, had almost come to the realization that it wasn't gonna happen. Then it started!

Damn FI relay...

See everyone in Utah.

Wooo Hooo!

WHO IS BRINGING THEIR BATHING SUITS?

Cool! Michael Wills & I are meeting up at my house at 4 a.m. on Thursday to caravan up.

I'll bring my swimming suit along so that Toast won't be lonely in the hot tub.

It's a good thing it's still a week away so I've got time to get ready, but I'm so psyched about it that I can hardly wait!

Guess what was in the box that UPS just delivered to me?

Damn, I'm excited! Hope I can get some sleep this week!

Well... my hopes of driving the "new" 914 to RRC have been dashed. I was considering driving it even with the growling rear wheel bearing, but it does sound like that bearing is on the same side as...

...the swiss cheese suspension console that I found today whilst doing a valve adjustment.

At least this week won't be such a time crunch now. And if it's hot in Moab and you guys are all sweaty... I'll be in air conditioned comfort.

I had a similar brush with things this weekend - brake fluid running out of the master cylinder area onto the ground. It turns out that it was one of the grommets for the reservoir tubes. PP will have parts here by Wednesday so I'll be in good shape.

It's not what you drive that counts, it's that you are there so we can see your smiling face! Of course this will be twice now that I've seen you at a 914 event and you've been driving something besides a 914 - I'm beginning to suspect that it's only a rumor that you own one!

weather.com calls for a chance for thunderstorms for Saturday & Sunday. Let's hope it comes and goes quickly!

wish i had time to do my own valve adjustment. i am taking it in tomorrow. mechanic says i should have it back by thursday night. New rotors are going on today.

I guess that technically it's really one and enough parts to build one and a half. But that's not much different than half of the 914world.com population.

Mine won't start again. It's back to the good 'ol TDI Jetta for me. But I'll still be there!

mine is in jeopardy of not going also. I need some Lugnuts for my Fuchs. The guy changing my rotors told me that the the Ebay specials i bought, are what casued the threads to get stripped. FUCH!
i needed to be able to pick up the car from him tonight so that i could drop it off at Pat's tomorrow morning for the valve adjustment.

Greg,

hit up the colorado group.
even if they don't give you or sell you a set, someone will surely let you borrow a set

unfortunately I don't have any for you
but maybe rex?
and I know peter has a set of lug nuts he got from Scott.

so someone can loan you some.
other option would be to borrow non mag wheels and use short lugs with thinner rims?
