I was actually thinking of a lunch time thing, evenings are difficult for
me. Especially now with my torque tube issue. The only time I get to work
on it is between 10pm and 1am.

We can do a late lunch to accommodate everyone's schedule.

What do you think? If Bobby gets off at 1pm, how about 1:30?

Friday would be good for me. Tomorrow I am dropping the Shark off in

Olympia

to check T-belt tension and take a look at the power steering prob. I

also

will probably leave it there to get the new passenger door latch put in.
What time at Red Robin?

Adam Birnbaum here,

I work in Puyallup. My office is off Canyon Road. I live down in the
Puyallup Valley. I don't see to many sharks around these parts, although
there is a black one that looks very similar to mine that I see everytime

I

take my kids to a certain park off 65th in the Ravenna area. Having just
ordered one of DR's budget black RMB's, the particular black Seattle

shark

will look even more like mine. (Hmmm...maybe a nice carbon fiber shifter
would be a nice set off for the RMB)

Okay Henson, Fossett, and Bobby, let's make this a four way.

Maybe Red Robin on friday?

Rob,

I thought you worked in Seattle somewhere. I was just in the Magnolia

store

last week getting prices on HDTV's. If I had known that you were there

I

would have said hi. I have been wanting to get a hold of you anyway to
discuss a new stereo in the shark. OK. So if everyone would post where

they

live and maybe the area they work in, it would be cool to be able to

stop

in

and grab someone for lunch and the such.

I'm about ready to drop my torque tube. Everything is unbolted except the
tube flanges. My question regards engine movement.

I would imagine that the engine will rock backward assuming a nose up
attitude when the tube is removed. What concerns should I have? In
particular:

1) Are there any particular components that typically snag when the engine
leans back?
2) Does the cross brace have to be removed?
3) Is it advisable to place a jack under the pan to keep the engine from
moving?
4) Any last minute words of advice before the drop?

Thanks Bobby,

That is who I use currently. I just thought I might be able to swing that
business over to you. Hey, I tried.

Ray

Just got back from a brief UK trip and my transmission fluid decided to take
a walk, just when I thought it was fixed.

Anyway got on the phone to Leif and we had a fairly long chat, talked about
your GT for a bit Lloyd. Hope you manage to work out a decent way to get it
fixed. Seems he is having a 928 week, he has an 85 with the cam belt in
pieces also.

Mentioned the drag and he said he would try and stop by.

My name is Lloyd and I have been forcefully excluded from the thrill of
punching the gas and watching everybody disappear in the mirrors...

Looks like I'm in for another motor. The crank was blackened from
generated heat and some cylinder walls were damaged (and getting machine
work on these works of art is truly exciting).

Ugh

Hey Bobby,

Do you do foam injection packing?

Ray

Hi Lloyd,

That's a real bummer about the motor. Is it rebuildable? You may
want to check out this link,


he lists a GT motor for $4500 with core. Not sure if the page is up
to date, but sounds reasonable price wise. Other than that, A guy
on
the rennlist posted a S4 engine for sale $3500 neg. .


Anyway keep us up to date on your dilemma. Im curious to know if you
find anyone in the Seattle area that can work with the 928 engine.

Good Luck,


Tom

sorry you can't make it to lunch, we'll probably do it again sometime

Hi Guys,

My name is Tom and Ive been sober for >>>>>>>oops wrong group (ha
ha).

Anyway I live in North Seattle (north of the U duhb)and work in
downtown Seattle (4th and Pike)for URS -- a large
Engineering/Environmental Consulting Firm.

On occasion (about once every two weeks) I get to blast down the I-5
to one of my sites in Longview, WA. Keep an eye out for a very dirty
Black/Black 87S4. Not to be confused with the other Black/Black S4
down south (it's a little noisier than mine at the moment).

Always keeping an eye out for 928s (seen Andy Pope blasting through
downtown on occasion). Also frequently see a white 928S and a
burgandy 928S (in Fremont/Wallingford).


Later,
Tom

Hey Bobby...

I'm Andy, live in tacoma, am 25 and have a brown 1979 928 with 40k on it...
i just got it not too long ago and the first thing i had done was my timing
belt and water pump... i took it to paul weir in seattle because they gave
me the best quote but they ended up being really expensive...

so, i'm trying to find somewhere else that's a little cheaper... it's hard...
that's sort of the commitment when you buy these cars...

i would join you guys at red robin, but i have to leave for Eugene, OR that
day to go watch a bunch of high-school football players run around...

hope to talk to you soon!

I might just stop in sometime, as i'm in lakewood now and then...

your pal

andy

Adam,

i'm the tall, thin guy that usually wears sunglasses (6'2" 155lbs,
brown short hair, khakis) i think i saw a pic of you on your web site, but a
description would sure help. so its the one on South Hill? hope to see you
all there.

Hey Rob!

I live out in Tacoma... I wish that I would have known you worked at Mag

with it...

Hi All,
Preliminary word from Susan and Marc at Deveks. In
conjunction with their get together at the shop, they will
be hosting a group of interested drivers at Thunderhill on
the 4th, which is Friday. We asked for a minimum of 20
cars. All this is still being finalized, but this is an
early warning for us NW folks (I am helping organize, so we
should get something out of it, right?) The cost will be
somewhere around $200 with lunch and drinks, probably.
Instruction will be available. The track has race-gas, air,
corner workers, medical personell, etc.
If you really want to get to know your car, and your
fellow owners of 928's, you should get on the track with
them both. You WILL learn something, and have a bunch of
fun doing it. Thunderhill is a really safe track, no walls
or trees or guardrails, nice and wide...I am sure the
emphasis will be on saftey and fun... The atmosphere is very
relaxed, great track workers, out in the country, but bring
an umbrella(you all have one of those, right?) cause it's
hot and not much shade. For a look at the track try their
website at: .
I just made the drive last weekend. 10 hours is a good
figure from Portland. I took my GT on a trailer easily in
that time. Thunderhill is about 2 1/2 hours from the shop(
+/-).
If there is interest, I can get a block of rooms at
Willows, the little town about 5 miles from the track on
I-5. I have stayed at a good motel with secure parking, a
good resturant, pool, etc. and they are used to racers and
groups.
I plan on leaving Thurs. AM, fairly early, driving to
Willows, having dinner and a good nights sleep, then the
track for the day. Maybe on to Deveks that afternoon, or
wait till the morning.
Get in touch with me, for now, with questions. Deveks
will be posting something to Rennlist when we get it all
finalized, but in the mean time they don't need the extra
work(leave them alone--they have to get my car done for
Virginia City this weekend) Don

Adam,

lunch would actually work better for me too. being as i have to drive up
to Sea-Tac later. 1:30 would be perfect. we are speaking of the one in
South Hill behind the mall right? i'll try to bring my cousin along, he is a
former 928 owner, he's had two of them also, but he's a BMW convert now.
anyway, let me know what happens with everyone else, my schedule is pretty
flexible...
