When are you guys ready to come accross the sound and tour the Olympic Peninsula??
I suppose I have to make it worth your while!!!

I have a few minor things left to do on my car before it hits the road, but I'm hoping to be able to come out soon and have some fun.

My car is due to be done by June 24th. After then for me...

I'd love to go over to the other side... But alas my worn out clutch is not holding up under just 5 pounds of boost. I need to find a fresher clutch!

Talk like that will make you popular in the sandbox.

Good for you jon!

I was wondering when you were going to come out

Does that excite you Troy?

OK Boys, I'll make special arrangements when you decide to "come out".
Til then it looks like I will be working in the Seattle area after July 9 for 6-8weeks or so. Once I kick off the project I will know more how my schedule pans out.
I'll pick some dates, and places to visit and see who's in. Looking toward late July, mid August.
Some Ideas are, Hurricane Ridge, or 101 down to Hoodsport, or 101 past Lake Cresent to hwy 112 back to Pt Angeles, or.......
I'll keep in touch and see when you all are ready to "Come out" and play.

Wassup? Anyone up for meeting at Garrett's - in Edmonds - tomorrow. We'll check out his new, red 1.7 and then get some pizza next door.

Sounds like fun. What time are you thinking?

I'm up for it but can't get there until about 7. Will that work?

Cant make it this week, legal crap from the ex to deal with.

I just talked to Garrett and he said 7:00 works for him. He's looking forward to an honest evaluation of his new car.

Address is 1427 Olympic View Dr., Edmonds. Here's a link to Google Maps Garrett's

Cool I'll try to make it!

Again not working for me Enjoy Pizza, Beer, and Teeners.

I cant make it out this time. Im knee deep in machining cool stuff.

Enjoy

Anyone else showing up tonight?

Seven works for me.

I'll have my whole clan in tow.... That way there is some redeeming value to me coming.

How was the gathering?

I wish I could have made the event. I was getting my car prepped for a lapping day at Pacific Raceways. It was the first time out to the track with the newly installed Wilwood big brake upgrade.

Cheers,

Eddie

About 6 AM this morning I saw a REALLY nice silver '74 2.0 getting on HWY 16 in Gig Harbor! I don't see you all out too often.
Anyone know who that was?

There was only three of us but it was fun The car Garrett found is a really beautiful 914.

How did the brakes do out on the track Eddie?

maybe Dave Hunt

Jon,

Brakes worked great. The pedal stayed firm through four sessions with nice modulation. Wilwood Superlite calipers and 309mm x 32mm rotors on the front. The rears are still a 911SC setup. I ran the proportioning valve wide open.

Here are some pics (sorry for the "Andy" quality).

I have not made up backing plates to connect the cooling ducts, so the ducts just blow into the wheel wells at this time, but there did not seem to be much fade.

I had fun playing with a 911 GT3 and a 911 996 Turbo, although my car needs more top end acceleration to keep up without pushing too hard. Over 100MPH the 996 Turbo was gapping my Teener for some reason (someone mentioned that it had somewhere around 650HP).

Cheers,

Eddie

prob dave hunt. if the car was going like stink, dave hunt for sure. pointless trying to catch him.

k

Kinda crawl'n actually. Beautiful car got on 16 at olympic and went across the bridge toward tacoma.... I actually passed him in my old Ford Ranger!

if it was dump n smoke it was Dave

We should be driving our Teeners on a this very nice Tuesday evening. It might even be rigorous enough to warrant refreshments!

So car is running...I want a Teener Tuesday. However the rain is suppose to hit tomorrow.

BUT on WEDNESDAY the 27th.....looks good. Any interest in a modification to Wednesday? Something Central...XXX Drive Inn...What the Hey, a Costco parking lot for a hot dog.

????Comments????

Carnation?

If I get my new fuel pump in the next two days. . .

I'm in for Wednesday. Just need to know when and where.

Fulton

Second vote for XXX. Turns out I'll be in that part of town Wednesday night.

Sadly driving the jetta. Whatre ya gonna do?

This week no worky for me.

Have fun guys.

If anyone happens to be near Packwood this weekend I will be at the SCCA National Tour driving the RSA

That would be cool. We haven't been there in awhile. Wonder if my girlfriend is still around.

Do you mean this young lady that Curt is with?

Man you north enders just keeping pulling us from the south farther and farther up.

I've just learned I might have to work late on Wednesday....

So it now depends on where and when on Wednesday. I've got drive time from Auburn.

Its a senic quick trip up hwy18 for you and a nice twisty fun road for about 20 miles for me

"...what do you mean, YOU PEOPLE?!"

I'd be all over an opportunity to get some freeway miles on my car, if'n the fuel pump hadnt just sh*# the bed a few days back... waitin for the new rotary one to get here from CPperformance.

Last time I checked, Carnation is closer to you than it is to any of us. You could simply meet them there

I've got a good used pump from a '74 I'd give you. Won't make it in to town until tomorrow though.

Thanks, but this pump should be here in the next day or two... I had been wanting to order a new low psi pump anyway, so I can eliminate the ugly fuel pressure regulator I have for my webers.

Yup, that's the one. Just before that pic was taken she asked if it was ok to have her picture taken with Greenie. What could I say?

Mr. 242,

I might be up for a gathering at the XXX. Later is probably better.

I'm working hard to get ready to head out for a week of family vacation over the July 4th holiday. I'll see how far I get on the "to do" list.

Oh, crap, I forgot to send you a PM. I'm gonna be over there until late Thursday so I won't be here. Funny how that works. Friday and Saturday are still wide open though. Hope that doesn't mess up plans too much.

Woulda been nice if the boss could give me more than 2 days head's up!

So what is the verdict on the meeting place and time?

Thanks.


Fulton

Rules changed, I'm driving the 944 over and I may have a 993 in tow. Where we going again?

6pm @ XXX?

It should be nice tomorrow. I'll drink some root beer there!

Carnation on another day when more people available.

WOOT! I'm all over it. Might be a little late, got a corporate BBQ to hit first on the plateau but it'll start early and they all know I'm a Porsche addict. I'll be there by 6:30 for sure.

Assuming the 944 has the guts to make it across the whole damned state. This might be "interesting".
