On the 21st there's going to be an install place in Sac at EddyRS' place. I'm already planning on being there myself.

MattR · 2005-05-04, 12:31 PM

Solo 2 Winnemucca 5-14

I have managers Meetings 5-21

I guess I'm out.

MikeSTI · 2005-05-04, 12:34 PM

did you need anything put on your car MattR? I'm sure I can add the 22nd as an option?

MattR · 2005-05-04, 12:35 PM

No, my oilcovers won't be here by then anyway. I'm good.

bruspeed · 2005-05-04, 01:04 PM

Since I'm kinda saving up for some stuff I probably won't have anything to install, but I can still help, I'm pretty good at turning wrenches (all things considered) and not afraid to get dirty! Finalize the date and I'll be there, Corona, limes, and ratchet wrenches in hand!

U53D · 2005-05-04, 02:09 PM

U53D · 2005-05-04, 02:10 PM

Matt & Nick - You really shouldn't drink in the afternoon

Forgotten · 2005-05-04, 08:06 PM

Count me in, for both wrenching and some parts.
I've got some springs sitting in my room although we had trouble taking off my camber bolts last time I tried to do those. My downpipe should be here before the 21st.

sounds good, but from what I heard you might need a spring compresser (?) to put the new ones on

MattR · 2005-05-05, 08:02 AM

Spring compressor are for sissies! hahaha.

Forgotten · 2005-05-05, 11:01 AM

They do need a spring compressor to be put on. I'll bring it with me.

Kevin M · 2005-05-05, 11:39 AM

I've done springs without them more than once, but it's better to have it than not. Glad someone can supply them.

Dean · 2005-05-05, 12:13 PM

A couple of those nylon rachet tie down things are all you need for a little as the WRX springs are preloaded as I recall. Or have I lost my mind?

Last time I did springs, I rented one from Kragen's.

Kevin M · 2005-05-05, 01:11 PM

With two people, you just have one lean on the strut top (compress the spring) while the other loosens or installs the strut nut.

khail19 · 2005-05-06, 03:51 PM

I've done springs by myself a couple of times now. It's definitely easier with a third hand, but not necessary at all. And you really don't need a spring compressor, it just makes the job take longer.

MikeSTI · 2005-05-09, 08:34 AM

Update - It looks like the 21st is going to be the day

I hope this works for people, let me know. (I don't mean the people that can't attend)

Libila · 2005-05-09, 12:29 PM

I'll come hang/help out. I'll be done with finals then, so it works out great for me.
