Probalby next week I will be able to make it.
Chris

Michelle and I have been out for a little while. My new job has me working days/nights/days/nights. F'd up, but tons of fun. Plus, some "buddies" of mine wanted to see my 914 in action in a parking lot. Yup, after getting some new halves for my front rims, I am back on the road. Dam curbs. One nice thing about the 3 piece rims is I changed the offset on my fronts and removed the wheel spacers. Put my scrub radious back to normal. Feels better again.

No more dognuts in parking lots for me.

Cool! Glad to see more and more people getting back on the road.

HEY!!! look who it is! LoL

Hey Chris this is John. Was actually just talking about you. Last few times i've been up in B-ham I've seen your baja over at the coast guard station. I'm done with my teener for a while after having to tow it home from Seattle tonight. It just needs to much work to be used as a daily driver right now. Too many things I need to inspect to avoid being stranded again. Made it through the last two months pretty well though.

I've been spending my weekends up in the Bellingham/Glacier area and should be moving up there around mid December. I'll most definately be down to hang out then. For the time being that's just a bit out of my range for a tuesday night though.

Sorry to hear about your 914 John. I actually got my bug as a backup so I wouldn't have to worry so much about using the teener for a daily driver.

I just looked at my work schedule and realized that I don't really have a Tuesday free for a while. It'd be nice to meet some of the guys up here though.

Its been a few weeks! Anyone doin anything exciting this Tuesday? Anyone interested in grabbing some food/beer?

i'm up for something maybe up around here. cause traffic is getting to be such a b-tch

So thats 2 including me! Anyone else? It may be cold and wet, but I still drive the teener every day.

Snow Report 6" North Edmonds, power offonoffon

Got about 4" here. Spent the day in garage working on th LE after errecting my new shed Fri. Pwr hasnt gone out yet.
Oh...Jeff I want to look at that harness

bad weather = me working

I had to clean the shop Sunday so I could get the green car out of the snow and ice! Too bad for Ugmo, she sleeps OUT SIDE!

I've been spending my allotted teener time over a Dave's observing his rebuild.


Still hoping to participate in the Toys for Tots run on the 9th.

Hey Morgan I forgot the lower tins so, Wedsneday out come the pushrod tubes. No way around it. Oh well.

Dave

oh, man you're on your own unless it can wait until this weekend.

I just wanted you to know. THE LOWER TIN GOES ON BEFORE THE PUSHROD TUBES. Doh!

Looks like maybe we should have a snowball fight up north! *insert snowball fight smiley here*

So I think right now I have a new reason to flare my fenders! SNOW CHAINS!


SO anyone have pics of snow fun or carnage?

STAY HOME SPANKY! YOUR CAR CAN'T AFFORD YOU DRIVING IT IN THIS SNOW AND ICE! OR THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

TRUST ME! I am stayin right where I am. I just got new tires a month ago, and they are basically dry weather only tires. They are kinda ok when its wet, but in this stuff I might as well have slicks.

Gotta keep this thread alive through the winter.

Re-did my front rims and removed the wheel spacers, then put the spacers on the back of the 914.

Also finally getting the heater hooked up. B&B SS header/heaters rock, but you gotta hook up the tubes to get the full effect.

I had a blast driving in the snow. . . I'd have to subie swap and run skinny tires to be able to have that much fun on dry pavement, and then I'd break more transmissions. Just went up to baker with the teener on Thursday too. I think I need a board rack for it so I can take someone with me though.

I finally got around to takin the springs off the rear trunk on my car. Now the hinges just need to be welded back into place. So right now it closes and looks normal, but I have to hold it up to put the top in. I AM crazy enough to drive in this cold weather with the top off. Got in about 3 hours today! I think the parents have a camp914 trunk shock kit on the way to take care of the trunk though.

It was great. I ran over to John's(RockinOldSchool) and told him I cut my springs. The look on his face was priceless.

Car looks great Dan! Jim, those steering wheels are still over here for you...

Dan those rims look freekin great....
i still have to tow gizmo home......looks like after christmas
how is the shop coming???
i am up for a day down there i can help on the rudimentary stuff....LMK
while the girls shop it up at pikes....

Permits went through, just waiting on the construction company to break ground on the garage now. Probably not until after the holidays at this point. Oh well.

man, i'm not sure what happened but i think i had this really surreal dream, it's like the world spit into two alternative realities that existed at the same time.. just weird.

IT'S BACK! IT'S BACK!!!!!

THE WORLD IS RIGHT ONCE AGAIN!!!!

This was weird. I went a way for a few days, came back to 5 days with no electricity and no 914 site - then a look a like - then the old site back but new. WOW some weird shit went on during that storm.

I'd say...."they" musta got their fingers on some bud from up here.....crazy indeed...
i hope it normalizes now.....

Sorry to hear about all the strife on the board. This appears to be where the Puget Sound area people are hanging out, so I guess I'll remain here.

First, Merry Christmas, everyone!

Second, my 914 has been having intermittent problems (I think it is fuel injection system-related, but am not sure), so she's not on the road at the moment.

I am hoping to spend some quality time in the cover-alls with tools & manuals before the new year... and then meet up with some of you again on a Tuesday once she's up and running again.

Host a workparty event at your house again to get all the guys to work on your car and get it running right again.

just need beer and burgers.

I was just listenig to some 80's Rush ...Hemispheres!

Yep, we need a tech day for working on our cars... Anybody want to host? I'll bring some Braten, if we all pitch in, I am sure we could have a feast and more than enough cars to work on. Is anybody running down to Bremmerton on the 6th? Group run?

Hey Eric...

If you need help...and are willing to host a work party...before mine on the 21st of Jan...Im in...not sure I can help with your troubles...but I can try...and at the same time meet with some of you guys....

Where are you located?

Thanks..

Steve

Depending on when and where I can bring my djet tester and LM-1 meter to sort out the fi.

You guys ROCK. Thank you for the offer of technical help... I accept!

How about Saturday, Jan. 6th?

If that doesn't work, I can do it Sunday, Jan. 7th, but it would have to be after 1:00pm.

My car is at my brother's house in Woodinville, so I'll have to get his clearance on it (and use his bbq gear), but I don't think he'd have a problem with it at all. I will give him a call today.

If this time & place works for any of you, please let me know, and I can post the address & my phone number. Thanks again!

Time & place works for me!
We've been needing this.

Dude...

Done....ill be there to meet you guys....and help if I can...or at least give moral support...LOL

Im a newbie too...so this should be fun...

Eric, once you get this all set up with your "bro" send me a PM with the address and the time....and ill Mapquest it...

Looking forward to it..

Steve

Howdy all,

Just thought I'd chime, say hi, and subscribe to this thread as a new 914 owner in the Seattle area. I just stripped my car for a repaint so it is out of action for a bit, but looking forward to joinging you guys for a Teener Tuesday sometime.

Brooke

Hey there.

Another local teener.
Root Werks,
I am gathering up the parts to make set of custom 3 pc wheels, do you happen to know where your wheel halves came from? Did you build them yourself? Not all 16" wheel halves are created equal so any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have only met some of you guys once at a teener tuesday on Mercer Island and have been in Hibernation since. Hopefully I can make some more outings soon.

Later,
Kyle

PS. I bought a used 2.0L to build...now the fun begins on deciding what I want to build.

fyi your teener doesn't have to be present to join in on teener tuesday's or for any of the work party's. just show up, it really gets tou back to a teener kinda mood.

Will I be shunned if I show up in my tail dragger?

Brooke

Now you've done it. You realize, you tease about your taildragger and you have to drive it to our next event so we can see it. It's a rule.

Saturday is Bremmerton AX. Sunday works for me. I will bring brats and buns. Directions once you have it cleared would be great. I may even bring my teener if the weather is marginally ok. (cause isa punk about the weather)

So when and where is the next Teener Tuesday?

Lets do something around SeaTac so more people can join. Red Robin's again?

Well, if Sunday works for everyone else (and weather permits), let's have a work party at my brother's place (he's fine with it) in Woodinville on Sunday, January 7th, at 1:30pm.

I will have the bbq (and my digital cam) fired up. Thanks a million for helping me out.

I will PM everyone interested with the address & my phone number.

Shit, I can't make that as I'll still here.
