I add...

a towel to lay on under the car
rags for clean up
vinyl gloves to keep hands clean
extra water in case you are stuck somewhere a while
flat tire provisions

and a clutch cable as they have been known to randomly snap.

Otherwise if your car has been solid up to this point what's another 3 days.

… and one of those little trunion block thingies (?) - a new cable is useless without one (unless you're lucky enough to find the old one somewhere in the roadway back where your cable snapped).

I can't leave until about 10 AM for me on Thursday....that way we'll skip traffic anyway until we are out of LA County.

I know Mike will probably chime in on this eventually. I was thinking of the 101 route near Solvang instead of the Central Valley route. If you are coming from Vegas though that be longer for ya.

If anyone at the WCR breaks down, I am about 45 minutes from the hotel. I have tools, jack stands (of course), a lift in my garage and a truck with a hitch and tow bar. If need be I can rent a trailer and come pick you up (if it comes to that). I will only be at the WCR on Saturday but will be available all week end long if you need help. My cell is 805 nine, seven, five, 6616. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Cable passes through it at the clutch release arm:

You might want to carry a 1" long spacer, two nuts (for the cable end) and a couple of 11mm wrenches with you too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Anyone got room to bring back a 901 back down to So Cal from San Simeon?

My spare seat is taken with the Wife....can't put her on the roof.

PM me.
A 901 car, or a 901 transmission? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)



Uhhhh....that would be a gear box. A 901 car...I would have to carry the wine and cheese up North.


Speaking of traveling, have been doing a little thinking about this trip. It has been said that a real 914 owner that prepares to break down, won't break down. With that said here is a list of items that I am taking with me "just in case"

D-jet.

Spare MPS
Spare ECU
Plastic caps in case something fails (this happend to Bnrat at the WCR)
Spare points and condensor

Nice to have but don't: Spare distributor

Tools:

As many as I think I need and will need to change out parts that I have.
LED Flashlight
Aluminum tape
Duct Tape

Engine:
Spare spark plugs
Extra Oil-2 quarts
Wire

Everthing else that would fail catastrophically like engine components I couldn't fix anyway.

The other thought I had was making sure that the route I took had cell service. I know if you come off from the 5 in the Central Valley from the Lost Hills....that the service is spotty and somewhat if downright boring drive which makes me want to take a coastal route.

Any other thought from the 914 collective?

I know Mike and Don were talking about a "interesting route" up there and I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts to the above or suggestions?

Thanks Guys...and Gals.

I'd add an alternator, variable resistor w/ 1M & 1F spade ends, VOM, short piece of 8mm FI hose, ass't hose clamps, ass't fuses, fuel pump, couple of relays, etc.

Not by much, relatively speaking. +50 miles and 1 hour.
I traditionally stop at the Barstow In-n-Out for food/getting off my butt. So after further consideration, more likely now to be around Oxnard 2-3ish.

We have an open room at the host hotel. I booked two rooms thinking my son and daughter in law would be coming. Alan and Terry were thinking about attending but the stars did not align for them. I will be cancelling the room first part of next week unless someone wants it.

I'll speak up for Larmo, since he can't get his ass out of bed. He wants the room Rick. As soon as he gets up he'll chime in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
