Foresaken: I forgot to jump in on this thread. But Josel is picking up brake packages from Girodisc for him and I.

Is there still space for two brake installs on the same day?

If not I'll swing by to pick up the stuff from Josel and head back to my garage for install. It needs to go in ASAP.

Willing to donate a full bag of briquettes some beer and fixin's along with helping others wrench. I also have 2 jacks and 4 stands which may come in handy if there is interest in me bringing them.

If I can get in on this then please PM me your address or a map of how to get there.

 

Andrew! I will be there and bring my fiance if that is okay. She just needs other "females" to hang with! Please pm me your address and we will see you there! If you need me to bring any food let me know.

I'll prob meet up with Dan on my way through. lmk Dan

I'll PM everyone the address as soon as I get to a computer (iPhone is too slow, but I got my preorder in for the 4g!), and yeah there should be plenty of room/time for brake installs, those don't take much time, and beyond that anyone and everyone is welcome to stay as long as they like, I'm pretty chill about that.

BLK, I strongly encourage the bringing of your fiancé, I was a bit worried that my gf would have no one to hang out with lol.

Also, once everyone gets the addy, there is no "set" time to show up, anytime after 9-10am will be fine

 

Then she will be there My fiance is 20 so I'm sure they can think of things to talk about!

Dan, bring the kids so Kelli can baby sit for you!!!

^werd!

Let us know what we can bring, Andrew. condiments, bread, chips, tater salad, etc.? I'm actually looking forward to the brakes as I've never done mine on the car, but I hear they're easy.

I'll probably have two jacks cause I need to get my current jack to Tyler and I want to buy a low-profile one from Costco that I saw (they haven't had it in awhile). I want to see the tool for the struts. easier than an air wrench? I might bring the compressor for the spring swap. I suppose I could watch Josel do the compressors by hand for fun!

 

Josel is getting my struts too, so no spring swap necessary (like 5 bolts/nuts per strut package, extremely easy). Someone needs to bring 4 jackstands if we want to do 2 cars at a time efficiently.

I'll try to get a list of stuff for people to bring, but for now, I'll provide:
Some Corona
ground beef
bratwurst
buns
condiments
mac salad (gf makes it, really good)

Anything else you guys want, bring, or list it, and someone else might bring it

 

^ah, very easy. Darn, it was kinda fun watching him squirm under his car getting the underpanel off last time. I was thinking manually doing the compressors would be similar.

 

Weeeellllll I suppose we could have him take one apart, you know, for ****s 'n grins.

 

ill be in since u are like a mile from my place

 

Shangie will be there. It'd be pretty lame if we didn't go, considering we're a few blocks from you!

 

hey we all know how much pain in the a$$ those under panels are. :P

sounds like andrew have everything in control. i cant wait.

i can prolly bring 1 or 2 jack stands and maybe more corona from the duty free store?

you guys want anything else? maybe some kitkat? :P

 

Kitkat?

Where's the flip food?!

 

you guys want some flip food? i can make some, it turned out i was a pretty good cook at home since mariah and i moved out from my mom's...

 

Hey Josel, show us what you can make.

 

^u going too? cool.

general question - what do most people do with their stock struts/springs after an upgrade? sell it? keep it? does anyone now how much $$ i can sell them for?
