Re: Drag day!!
Hey Jim, Sorry to hear about the "erector set", was there a particular hold up? Plan "B" sounds exciting, I hope it involves you pounding down the quarter mile in one form or another. -Adam ----------

Re: What about Paul Weir Porsche in Seattle?
I think Curt Nichols used them for a flex plate replacement and get dinged. I've never heard anything bad about the quality of their work, but I don't like hearing about repair shops that don't give

Re: What about Paul Weir Porsche in Seattle?
I took my 914 to Paul. Parts help from Fred was excellent! Service was expensive and they didn't do the job they promised. The motor still leaked. I'm sorry I ever took the easy way out(location at

Re: Whirring sound = torque tube
Hey Calvin, It was Larson's here in Tacoma. They have a new service manager unfortunately. I got along well with the prior one, and he always treated me right. Maybe that's why he's no longer there,

Re: Whirring sound = torque tube
Thanks for the offer Ray, I think I can get the shark up high enough in my garage, and with it at home I won't feel rushed. -Adam

Re: Whirring sound = torque tube
Actually both Devek and 928 Int'l rebuild their A/T tubes with the extra (third) bearing. As far as my timing goes, Yeah I know. I'm going to put the shark up in the air tonight and see what I can
