Like a timing belt clinic?
Or a front end reseal clinic?
Or even a "how to replace your aging fuel lines with a renbay kit" clinic?
Or maybe a "how to replace your ball joints with a renbay kit" clinic?
Hmmm
FWIW I know many have done all of the above (or it could just be me), but still many havent... and might garnish some benefit from seeing it done.. I know I recently had a couple of listers over to participate in a PS rack rebuild... it was my second, but neither of them had done one before! I am sure both of them left feeling able to easily tackle it themselves!
and I am sure Rennbay, as the organizer of the fest, could glean some sort of benefit from the exercise..

i am a newbie and have not done much wrenching since rebuilding my engine in a 65 MGB in 1973 but would like to be able tackle some of the maintenance on my S2. I have recently had the timing belt tensioners and water pump done by Dave Wenger at the North End wrench but I had to drop 2 grand to get it done. Lots of things I would like to do in the next couple of year. My car is very stock and plan on keeping it fairly close to stock but would like to give it a few more ponies. used to have a 86 951 which had more guts when you stood on it. But right now I would not trade the ponies for a top that did not go down.
It would be nice to have a swap meet as well as everybody on this board is either looking for something or selling something

How cool would it be to start Friday morning off with laps in an N/A, and finish Sunday with laps in the same car... but turbo?
And then have Travis give it away? Raffle style?
Complete with Rock's artistic flair on the body?

The rest of your quote was edited for nonsensical content.
I'm really starting to have a firm belief that a valve spring is broken in Penelope (I haven't heard this song in a while)....
We still need to confirm the electrons are flowing properly between the DME and the AFM though, before pulling the head apart.

If we don't have Penelope fixed by then - we will haul her down on the trailer (this is not just BS). If we take home a running turbo - that would be f-ing awesome. I'm sure Doc would be quite happy to just have Penelope running properly again.

goodie bag, door prizes, and the knowledge on how to perform the basic maintenance tasks we all have to do... what more could anyone ask for from the fest?
OH.. and WTF is it with you and broken valve springs????? I have owned LOTS of cars, never had a valve spring break.. and now you have 2 of them... one of which broke into 3 pieces????????
anyone up for an engine rebuild at the fest?
How about late model rear wheel bearing swaps? (this was the most recent thing I finished...next biggie I haven't done yet, but am going to do is installation of a factory LSD and cooling loop!!!!)
Maybe I will have some harness connector sets to throw in as sponsor door prizes???? (if they come in time!)
