I am going to school down here in Eugene. Have seen a couple other 944's, but no other 951's. Good to know someone from the northwest is on these boards :-)

I used to live in Vancouver, Washington. The place sucked. I used to party in POrtalnd. 86944T, Eugene is quite far from Portland. I went to a Vocational School in Yachats, Oregon which is about 45 min drive from Eugene. Yachats, Oregon sucks too, its all retired old people.

Do any of you have a mechaninc that knows 944's. I will take mine to Sunset Imports (Audi & Porsche dealership in Beaverton), but would rather take it to a Porsche friendly mechanic in the area that does not lighten my wallet.

thanks.....

Ken,

I've taken my 944 and 951 to Stuttgart AutoTech (off I-5 near the Boones Ferry exit) and Marque Motors (off Macadam in Portland).

There was also a Rennlister by the name of Glenn Humbert who had offered his services. He works fulltime at Intel, and co-opts a garage with a friend who is running a performance shop (may take a little longer than a dedicated shop, but will likely be cheaper). Everything else is like a normal shop, insurance, etc. I have not used him yet. His email address is: xcessiv@teleport.com

Give me a call and I can fill you in on the details....just PM'd you with my phone #.....

Looks like we may have to plan a 944 Get-Together here in Portland (before the weather starts getting wet)!

Anyone up for this?

Well I just started working on my car last night. I am going to be putting on new motor mounts and checking the balance shafts, so I will be out of commission for a few weeks(family, work, car, in that order). I think we should have a little road rally in the next month and do a little drive in the Yamhill, Dunde area.

I bet we could get at least 5 or 6 cars for the trip.......

If anyone out there has done the balance shafts, let me know. I'd be willing to provide food, beverage, ect.....

PM me and we can plan to get together.

KenP
