What: Tech Day to break in the new garage

Where: My house (PM for address and directions)

When: Sat 12/10 9AM til I get sick of all y'all

OK, let's get the show on the road! As most of y'all who care know, the house has now been officially moved into. I should have the garage completely set up by the end of the week, so let's start the tech day frenzy!

Like any other SD event, this is a social G2G as well. Bring some drinks over and hang out on the "pee couch" or whatever. I'll have the XBOX hooked up for some good times during or afterwards, and I'm sure we can all pitch in for some burgers on the grill.

On order for this tech day:

Install H&R Coilovers (Reza)
Install H&R Rear Sway (Reza)
Install FC TB (Reza)
Install VF Rear Mount (Reza)
Install STS (Reza)
Paint and install HIDs? (Reza)
Install Laminex on Fogs (Reza)
Fix exhaust leak (Lil Mike)
Install sways? (Lil Mike)
Install DZ suspension (Chalz)
cam swap? (John and somainevent)
inspect rear brakes (Big Mike)

Please respond to this thread with what you'd like to get done and i'll add you to the list. the garage and driveway can easily allow for up to 4 cars to be worked on at once, so this can all go pretty quick provided we have the labor, tools, and know-how.

Speaking of tools, I have a fair share which i am more than willing to let people borrow while working out of my garage. However, I have a limited number of jacks, jackstands, ramps, etc. Please PM me to see if I will have the tools you need to do the job.

John and somainevent: I KNOW you guys wanna do the cam swap. here's my rule: you HAVE to have at least 1 person there who's done the job before and knows what they're doing. for now, I really don't want to have any cars spending the night or weekend at my place, esp. since I have to help move my other roommate on Sunday and would need the garage open. IF you can find someone and can have the job done in a day, you are more than welcome to come over.

cool beans. bring some DVDs for the little one and we can set him up in the living room or something.

yeah, marking the tools would be a good idea. probably won't have time for this weekend. we'll just have to keep an eye out.

Mike
 
Dangit, I wish I could be there...... Then we could get the springs on, and those purdy new wheels........ GRRRRR
Okay, next time!

H&R coilover.
H&R Rear Sway
Ford Racing STS
VF rear engine mount.

Paint my HID black
Put laminx on the fog.

Anyone want to take a shot at a front sway?
i'm down for a REAR sway, but you KNOW how i feel about a front...

Still, we COULD at least get the rear on, and maybe tackle the front on a later date?

Mike
 
I'm down to attempt to help out on the front sway. And I'll take the rear sway off of your hands.
 
I'll be there to help, but I have to go to my stupid little work christmas party type thinggy..so I will be there as soon as I can get there. My party starts at 10...so I'll try to get outta there around 11

what do you think guys. should i go with mach1 lip or should i just leave my stock SVT lip on there. i like the looks of the mach1 lip alot better but the svt lip is more flexible.
:lol: :lol:

Seriously, man, why do you even bother to ask us? You know you'll just go back and forth on it forever and then just go with what you wanted to do in the first place.

IMO, however, i'd stick with the SVT on your car. Much more euro. the Mach stickes out foo far for the look of your car.

Mike
 
I'll see what I can do to be there, I bet we could have all Reza stuff done in a couple of hours since we'll a have a few people and we wouldn't all be working on the same thing. Cams.......Someone else can handle that.

are you lazy, or does this have to do with the foot injury?

you supply the oil and filter and i'll do the change fo ya!

Mike
 
Well, lazy and broke :lol:. I have a card for Express tire and there pretty cheap. It's like only 20 bucks for oil, oil filter, and tire rotation. Besides it looks like this tech day's already pretty booked.
