Got the room starting Thursday night so we'll be there for a run Friday.

 

WOW!!! Tony, are you driving in from Vegas? There aught to be a prize for the person who drives the furthest ( in a 928 ) to get to SITM.

 

Just did the same. BTW, they said they still have plenty of rooms, just no king size beds.

 

Got our room!

 

Depending on my grades this semester/the condition of my car/timing with the cruise my family is going on, I may make this year's SITM. The car is now running/roadworthy, but we're doing a lot of PM/parts swaps on the car come spring break. If I do make it, I may claim the title as the youngest 928 owner there (21... I dont know if there are any younger on the boards)... plus I'd be coming from TX, and since I have to bring the car up to MD at some point anyway, this might be a good first trip for the car rather than having it shipped.

and if I make the 3.0 I'm shooting for... there'll be a nice little suprise to show when I get there

 

tony,
you better drive this time cause i still don't believe you have a 928

i got a king

 

Sounds good to me. I guess I'd better get to fixing my car.

 

So did you ever git the Missus one of 'em
928 El Camino conversions so she can go antique shopping.

I was making my 928 to do list before SITM and man, I think I need to take a vacation to get it all done. Good thing I like doing this stuff.

Anybody wanna come play for a week?

 

Hey John, How far are you from Atlanta? I'm about 4 hours away, but my wife likes to go shopping down there occasionally. If we stayed for a weekend, I could stop by and lend a hand. I too am in the process of finishing everything up for SITM. How big is your SITM to do list?

 

Sounds good to me.

Here's what I'd like to do before SITM. I have the parts/supplies here or on order for the italicized stuff.

Replace: Motor mounts, oil pan gasket, steering rack mounts, replace driver door handle mechanism & felt in window, A/C recirc/fresh air flap diaphram, upper ball joint boots, rebuild torque tube & replace shifter cup, A-arm bushings, A/C slider ****, fuel hoses, speaker in passenger door.

Fix: re-dye seats & interior, re-finish wheels, clean floorboards from clutch MC replace & re-attach carpet, rattle and squeak in rear, remove wiring from factory radar detector, deep clean exterior and coat with Rejex, brake pad warning light (already replaced all sensors), vibration in steering, speaker rattle in rear/driver side, re-tension TB, finish re-covering steering wheel, install door stays, install Jager lock & window kits.

Upgrade: LEDs for instruments, X-Pipes (on order), shocks/springs.

 

Fairly large list. But plenty of time before SITM though! My wife is going to want to know what's up when I tell her it's time to go shopping .

 

John:
That's nothing. Here's my list:

Upper ball-joint boots R&R
Get oil drain plug out (it's really in there, and now it's totally rounded off! )
Install DR front sway bar
Install clear 5MPH bumpers in front
Install GTS clutch
Adjust ride height (front adjuster just spins! )
Find source of oil leak up top - and fix
Check timing belt
Time cams
Pull intake and valve covers for re-finishing
Install super charger while intake is off
Get windows tinted
Fix wheel tilt mechanism

I'm sure other things will pop up, but as is, I'm guessing about 8-10 full weekends of work. The real challenge is finding those weekends to do the work between now and SITM. I planned on working on the clutch this weekend, but between the Honey-do list and the big game, I think it's a bust.

 

John,
I am going up on thursday as well . Maybe we can go up together. I am not sure what time we are planning to leave it depends when the old lady gets off work.

 

I have a room for Thursday night also, and have to drive thru Atlanta. Can we pick a spot to meet up and hang out, then drive up as a group? This is my first trip up and I could put away the map.
