Just swapped out my 19 mm m/c for a 23 mm yesterday. Bench bleed went well but still need to do a trip around the wheels a few times.

New radiator from Renegade will ship tomorrow (fingers crossed). With any luck will have a few days for a shake down.

Wouldn’t be the first trip of the season without coming down to the wire

Shall we start the Arizona Caravan thread?
[/quote]


Yes.

Who is driving up from Arizona and when are you planning on leaving?
Nathan and I are planning to leave early Thursday morning to make it in time to meet up with the group at 2:00 in Vegas.
[/quote

My girlfriend and I are heading to Laughlin on Wednesday where I will drop my trailer, then we are meeting up with the Vegas to Mesquite caravan on Thursday. I’ll do some last minute dialing in of the car this weekend.
[/quote]

I plan to leave Scottsdale around 8AM. If I get lucky I'll meet the boyz in Vegas. My departure timing is flexible.

Nathan and I will arrive at the Mobil gas station at 3770 Vulture Mine Road in Wikenburg at around 8:30am Thursday morning.
We will leave at 9:00am to meet John for lunch at 1:00PM in Vegas.
We should pass through Kingman right around 11:00am
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Chris I did find a thrust washer from a VW buddies place (didn't want to take advantage at Carl's Place). The bolt took a bit of heat while scraping on the dust cap and pushed one of the edges in, had to hammer a hex bit in to remove it. I really just wanted a better one. When I ordered the new bearings and seal I was told Thursday. Just received an email saying half the order arrives Thursday and half Monday. Gonna be close!

I'll be driving on Thursday from Flagstaff to Mesquite. I'm thinking about driving old Route 66 from Seligman to Kingman rather than the interstate.

Edit: Probably going to take I-40 after all. Google says 4 hours by I-40 and almost 8 hours via old Rt 66. I'm hoping to make it for lunch at Cafe Berlin.

----------Mark Sonners and son Nick are going up from L.A. 405 to the 14 to the Pairblossom Hwy 138 to the 15 to Vegas on Wend the 1st. staying at the Treasure Island. On the 2nd we are on to Mesquite. So @FL000 we are coming by you.

So the lineup is the red 911targa, My white Ridgeline, and Marks Bud David will show up in his Black 928 on Thursday the 2nd.

If any of you travelers happen to arrive at the restaurant before I get there, the reservation is under 'Professor Porsche'.

well.... I feel like a heal...
not the first time....

but I have to bail now.
my street car is broke.
I used up all of my repair time and actually changed the transmission (twice)
but no go...
still broken

plus I just got back from an expensive trip to sonoma.
so out of vacation and nearly out of money.
the only adult option for me is to sit this one out now.

sure am going to miss everyone
brant

The 14 has been under construction for awhile but hopefully won’t slow you down too much.

Adelita and I are heading up Thursday and will plan to tag up with folks at lunch in Vegas at 1 pm.

All I need is a front end alignment then I'm good to go. For the last several weeks I wasn't sure I'd have the car ready or not. Cut this one a little too close for comfort.

No beetle needed for this run. I received an email stating the inside bearing wasn't coming until Monday or Tuesday, WTH???
I finished up the 914 Friday after locating an inside bearing locally, thanks to The 900 Series Porsche shop. I did notice some inside front tire wear, so an alignment is in order. But for now I just used the old string, straight edge and tape measure method, it was toed out by about 3/16 inch.

Plans changed...

up Fri night

I won't show up empty-handed.

Glad to hear it. BTW, I am still running my home-made alignment.

@SirAndy will you please employ your magical powers and turn this thread into a Live Uploader.

I was getting nervous.
The 914 was throwing oil all over on the passenger side of the engine both above and below the tins and the 944 has got oil in the coolant.
The 944 is most likely an oil cooler housing gasket.
I thought the 914 was an oil cooler seal even though I just changed them a few months ago.

I wasn't liking my odds of getting them both fixed by Thursday morning.

My odds just got a whole lot better. The oil cooler seals are fine. The passenger valve cover gasket had dropped down out of place along the top edge and left a major gap for oil to fly out and get on everything.

I have the 914 fixed, now to jump on the 944.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Update, we bump started it and got the the hotel but the starter isn't working. We may be bump starting it all weekend.

Push starting someone's 914 is a long time event tradition. I've been on the receiving end myself. We'll get you going!
