need me to come hand you wrenches

Sorry to hear about your (temporary) disability.

I have not been active here, but I've been driving my 914 from time to time. The clutch still slips and the door handles, rear trunk, etc. don't work. But still enjoyable to drive.

Good to hear from you Michael
Ive learned that 914 ownership is a marathon not a sprint

...and there is no finish line.

Rich, good to read your injury is on the mend!

Drove the 914-6 last Saturday, but we haven't been around long enough on the weekend to meet up with any other teeners.

Someday, just gotta get our house done.

...and there is no finish line.

If there is it's only temporary until the next race..........lots of races

Hey all you guys in the PNW, any one want to meet up on the North Side in Mountlake Terrace this Saturday 09-12 at the Dimond Knot Brewing Company?

Thinking around from 11AM to 1PM for a start time.
A few of us showed up before, but its been a while...….

Sure

That is around the corner from my place, would absolutely stop by!

Looks like we have grandkids coming over today so I’m staying home to help manage the crowd. Would rather be with you guys but last time I left Julie alone with them it wasn’t good

After checking the Air Quality out today is really bad and should call this off for today! It's just not good to be outside right now. Way to much smoke

Hope to try this again soon in the next week or two

Yep, another time where we can see where we are driving as its pretty damn smokey now in Seattle.

I'm here

By the way diamond knot doesn't open until 3pm

Well the smoke is gone and this weekend looks decent for this Sat 10-03-20
Anybody what to try this again for the weekend?

I want to join you but already planned to take grandkids to Mt Rainier.

I could fit something in on Saturday, but my Sunday is already booked.

Wow! Just been checking around for a equipped shop to do an alignment & corner balance.
STICKER SHOCK! I dont recall spending more than $500 when doing mine...
Times have changed.
Anyone have a recommendation here in the PNW?

Virg's Brake and Suspension in Mt. Vernon. Last time they did an alignment to my car (another make and model) it was reasonable. Around $100 or so. Haven't asked for a corner balance before.

Cantrell Motorsports did mine several years ago. Around $200.

-Shawn

Cantrell did mine four years ago was under $300.00.

We use Tru-Line, four corner balance and alignment around $650. Rich did you call them?

Drive!

Ya thats where I ended up. @jsaum Collin did my LE but hey were a month out.
Tru-line were good to work with but it took them two tries to get it right.
1st time they dropped in in the weeds!! So low & such aggressive rear camber the rear shock damping was non-existent. 2nd time I guess they had adults work on it.

Did you try Redmond European?

You shouldn't have told them to make a low rider out of the 914!

I shouldda take a pic of it...thats what they did.

Never had my car corner balanced. Just adjusted it myself based on the ride height I wanted. Now I wonder if it would make a difference.

It'll make a difference. How much youll notice.. ?
Consider they place a weight to approximate YOU in the drivers seat to balance the suspension ~
Not sayin you are large or anything

That's a gorgeous 914. What's the story?

Corner balance does make a difference if you drive them hard. Otherwise? You won't notice it. I can tell the difference when autocrossing and how and which corner starts to lock first under hard braking.

Anybody else up for a drive on Sunday morning?

Whose car is this?

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-porsche-914-2-0-38/

Its going to be mine if the price stays this low

Take a good look at the underside of the car, I suspect that there is significant rust and previous damage.

Possibly...

I’m going to do the Jaunt to Alder Lake on the Roads App. Leaving McDonald’s at the Super mall at 9:30. If you don’t want to load the app let me know and I’ll bring instructions

When you're in the neighborhood, check out Skate Creek Rd. East of Elbe a few miles. Mind the blind corners.

Great drive. Julie and I were all by ourselves but that Kent I could drive my own pace. Beautiful views of Mt Rainier and nice country roads

Wish I had seen this. Since putting street tires on the car, I discovered how darn nice it is to drive. Even with stiff suspension and race seats, its still a great driving car. With the Hoosiers on it you could feel when you drove over a dime, but the street tires are more forgiving.

"Holy Smoke"
F'n Rocky decided yesterday to meet Allah & collect his 72 virgin Rodents ~
Bastard took out the entire cul de sac
I had a lot of work to do, instead I had to go out & rake leaves until the Pwr. Co. showed up hrs. later.
