Austin area project day

[mslaptoptx]

Hey all - anyone in the Austin/Central TX area interested in getting together once a month for a "car project" day? Was thinking we could pick different mods or maint projects and get together and share tools and experience. Projects that could be done in an afternoon like the clear fuel line mod, or doing boost leak checks. There are a gazillion small projects we all do on our cars ( or would like to but aren't sure how to) that could be done as a group.
Great opportunity to see what others have done to their TDI's

I'm in Round Rock and have pretty nice shop setup and a VagCom. Been building race motors - both auto and motorcycle for 45 years

Send me a message if you're interested

I would be in for this. Preferably at the start of the month as my other car shows are on other weekends. You could also go to the Round Rock car show and have a VW section.

Yes please.

Is there still any interest in something like this? I work for a shop on Burleson Rd/183 by the airport who would love to host if ya'll are serious.
We'd have to move a few of these junks outside to make room, but I don't mind

I'd be interested in this... I live South, so Burleson/183 would be great for me. The North locations/people would take a little planning by me...

I'm still up for this even if it starts small. Pick a time and place and lets do it. Theres a great little coffee shop, Cuppa Austin on the Round Rock/Austin line (Parmer Ln & 620) that would work.
Anyway let me know what you all think.
Mike

I am new to Texas. Just moved to Boerne from SC. Was in a local TDI club there. I would definitely be interested in a get together.

Did this GTG every get off the ground. I am definitely interested.

 

[aja8888]

Not yet, the OP is not frequenting here too often. Maybe he lost interest?

Holidays in the way probably.

Probably, but Mike's last post was 12/9.

I think he and his wife have some health issues as well to contend with. I think I have his number and I will call him to check.

Great. Mike also needed a boost tester and I was going to let him borrow mine when we were to meet up.

What is a boost tester? I am only a few blocks away from him. I have one of those boost batteries if that is what you are talking about.

Device used to test your boost piping for leaks. I built one rather than buy it. Kind of like this:

What was I thinking? Makes sense.

It was late and these don't come to mind unless you are having boost issues.

When I was rebuilding my Jetta, I made one out of old parts, silicone hose and PVC pipe to diagnose my boost system. Mike asked if I had one since he wants to check his boost path. I can put it on the turbo inlet hose and close off the breather puck hose and pump up the boost piping and check for leaks. Pretty handy.
