Michigan Vintage - May 17th, 2009
 

Hey all,

We'll be cruising to the Vintage show next weekend. Probably head about about lunch on Saturday (May 16th). It's about a 5 hr road from 'sauga. The plan is to hit the show in the Sunday and head back in the early afternoon.

Let me know by this Saturday (May 9th) if you're coming and I'll make the lodging reservations. One more thing, drive the dub or stay home..:D

I'd like to come down, but will be looking to hitch a ride with someone in their VDub, as my 73 is to be sold very shortly. Certainly would split the fuel costs of course. :)


cheers

Wish I could, but previous commitments.

Enjoy the trip gents!

Alex

Sounding like a broken record here: to make this trip, i will need to swap out the close ratio trans from the super.

Anyone have a 2-bolt nosecone, for my stock late trans?

Pete

Pete I may have one. I'll give you a call tomorrow to discuss that and your Remmele parts.

Alex

Call me anytime. I'm off all day. :)

Close ratio box is out:

Have a couple days now to source parts and get it back in for the weekend. :shocked:

Lanner, who's going down to the show?

Pete

Hey Lanner,

"drive the dub or stay home" nice touch Lanner :P, clearly aimed at me potentially driving the 911

I'm in for next weekend (hope its not too late to get in on lodging deals)
Anyways I am happy with the way the new engine has been running so I think I will drive the gold ghia.
I have no passenger, so if you need a ride ED you are welcome to ride along with me

Alright, so we have:
Me
Steve B
Andy B
Sean (Steve's buddy)
Pete
Mariano
Bryan
Ed

I got 2 rooms, so that should cover the lodging. Let me know if anyone else is down.

Isn't that kinda crowded for two rooms?
Guess they are big rooms

2 double beds per room. Cosy yes. It's up to you. I've got 2 rooms now, set yourself up...

Bryan, thanks for the offer of a ride. That would give me a good opportunity to really get a feel for the Ghia, it's still a purchase candidate for me. Guy that is buying my Sports Bug is supposed to be picking it up within the next week.


cheers

So do we have a designated meeting point and time for the trip down?

Are we coming back Sunday night, or staying over to come home on Monday?


cheers
Ed N.

Ed, plan is to drive back Sunday after the show.

Meet at the Tim's on the north side of the 401 and Hwy 25 (Milton)? Time?

Boy am i having a hard time getting this super back together with the stock trans. :banghead:

Pete

The EMPI drive flanges for beetle trans --> T2 CV's aren't working out. :angry:

1-drive flanges have 3/8-24 thread instead of M8
2-3/8-24 cap screw doesn't fit in the T2 CV

Can i drill out the CV's bolt holes to 3/8? How hard is the CV?

I can't use the setup from the close ratio box because: 10 tooth spider gear conversion, 091 output shafts (super spline drives), 091 flanges
