I've got to talk my wife into moving to Portland. She loves Seattle and would live there, but hates Portland. I don't get it.

Funny that, Josh. I am trying to talk Kim into moving to Bend!

As another note, would anyone be interested in coming to my shop to swap motors in Nigels' car? Not the 24th, but sometime soon?

I still think we should have the meet here...or maybe a smaller tech day thing.

The parking lot here is plenty adequate, but better scenery at Valley River.

Maybe meet at VR, but anyone interested in washing their car could come here earlier?

Josh - I'm a bit closer and have a lift. I did the input seal on mine and it was an easy job. I have to yard mine out again because I forgot to install a spacer ring on the flywheel, so as I don't drink too much beer, I should remember how it is done.

Ooooooooh really...

As far as a meet, I'm game on hosting one too. I have two bays and parking for a dozen cars.

As for you input shaft seal.. I haven't gone that far, only done the tranny output seal so hopefully we can track down some experienced helpers :) Also just to let you know, I don't have a lift so you'll be working under jackstands.

I've done the output shaft seal too, with Jordan about 2 years ago. It wasn't hard, and supposedly, neither is the input shaft seal, the only catch is that the whole tranny has to come out. That's the part I want help with. Andrew and I would be capable of doing it ourselves, but if you've got space, all the right tools, and a few people to give me a hand, it would be a lot easier. With some experienced help, it shouldn't take more than a few hours.

Cramer, if you get one of these together, I'll be there for sure. I really want some experienced help with doing this input shaft seal job.

Oh don't worry it'll happen ;) I just need to get the spring corrado tech day scheduled and then I'll post up here for what available weekends work best for people.

That road was completely washed out, I'm talking asphalt and all, and they JUST fixed, god only knows how well. No way I'm taking my car up that road.

The tech days I host aren't like the BMWCCA ones, I'm not teaching anything ;) Bring your own projects and get your hands dirty. Best way to learn is to do. Or in Grant's case, have done for you :P I have a good amount of tools people can use (if they promise to return them clean and where they found them) plus a garage if it's raining. I always ask to keep the projects you are working on limited to ones that can be completed in a day. Usually with the corrado group, it's half BS session, half work. People are welcome to come hang out if they don't have projects to work on and either help others or play "supervisor" ;)

That sounds pretty awesome. Joey Link hosted one of those a few months back. It was really fun.
