Good day!! Oh God!! I can't wait!

Kevin M · 2005-05-09, 02:43 PM

That's the same day as the one that was already set up down in Sac.

Sac is 2 hours away, and I can understand if many locals don't feel like going down just for an 'installfest'

BOO · 2005-05-09, 03:21 PM

Does anyone know If I will need a seperate/different Gasket? I think the evo DP is
2 1/2 inches and the Helix is 3 inches, Mike(evomike) told me it should be fine, any other suggestions before this day comes and I am found with a gasket problem?

Thanks

Yeah, it probably only matters to me, and only because I already committed.

Hey Guys. I'd really like to help...especially if anyone is doing up/downpipe installs since I have those on the way and would love to learn how it's done. Do you guys let noobs join in the fun?

BOO · 2005-05-09, 07:57 PM

hey Cody... I dont see why not .. I mean everyone knows I am a NOOB when it comes to installs.. lol

Sorry Kevin..........I guess if the club that is doing an install that same day would include SECCS members and post information about said day here then this would not conflict.

to everyone else that might want to attend.
Any member is welcome to stop by to watch, wrench, take pictures of the install, ect......... but be carefull you might get caught going on a milk shake run

I will sit down and edit the first post to include details this week!!!!

If you have any ideas lets hear them.

- I know we might want more chairs. So if you have some fold outs that you can bring.
- I only have 4 car stands (we might want

if anyone that is coming that has a few extra bring um'

anyways this is the date and plans are being made

cody · 2005-05-10, 09:23 AM

I have two jack stands and a floor jack I'll bring along with miscelaneous tools. I'll even bring some parts to install if there's time

, but I'm in no hurry and I don't mind just helping and watching this time.

That works.

The hope is that at this point I can turn my 3 car garage into a 2 car shop and with the amount of support and people we can get a lot done in 1 day.

Sergio - The gasket goes around the edge of the DP and all DP's that would be considerd bolt-on would match that gasket. It might not be a bad idea to get a new gasket as they are a wear item and need to be replaced about every 40k from what I have heard and they dont cost much so its cheap piece of mind

BOO · 2005-05-10, 04:15 PM

thanks for the heads up Mike.. Even though I just hit 19k on the EVO (which is a long ways from 40k) I wouldnt mind getting a new one like you say as a precaution/peace of mind..

I just thought that because the stock DP is 2.5" and the Helix is 3" wouldnt the hole be bigger on a 3" DP??? but then again what do I know??

bruspeed · 2005-05-10, 04:34 PM

I'll bring my toolys and maybe some other stuffs?????

Kevin M · 2005-05-10, 04:47 PM

I dunno about replacement intervals for gaskets, but you definitely want to replace any gasket with a new part.

Sergio, the downpipe "mouth" has a 5 bolt flange, and the gasket doesn't change no matter what downpipe you get. The one at the other end of the downpipe is probably a 3" 2-bolt gasket, but it could also be designed to work with the stock 2.5" donut gasket, which doesn't need to be replaced.

Reno 911 · 2005-05-10, 05:52 PM

I bought Nick's old Invidia catback and intake and just ordered a downpipe, so if you guys think we can install them, I'll be there.

BOO · 2005-05-10, 06:23 PM

sweet thanks again..

James those items are still in Sacramento - FYI. I need to get down there soon, unless there are any Sacramentans coming up this way? Anyone? In fact, Mike! are you going to Sac this or next week. I can call Nate in advance to have those two items ready for pick up if you don't mind. Certainly a beer for your troubles would be in order.

Sorry for the inconveinance James if they are not here in time. Tuning will get you the most out of those changes along with the downpipe. Which downpipe did you get?.

I will try to stop by to this event as well and will happily lend a wrenching hand. I also have a pair of jackstands that I can bring as well as a brand new 3.5 ton jack.

I will also ask Nate for a fresh set of gaskets for the catback.

Kevin M · 2005-05-10, 09:45 PM

I should be headed down that way and back before next week, if nobody else is. I can pick that stuff up for you Nick.

MattR · 2005-05-11, 07:26 AM

I'll be down at SS on Monday or Tuesday with the Titan, dropping off sperry's car. So if anyone needs some oversized stuff moved back, let me know.

doubleurx · 2005-05-11, 08:24 AM

Thanks to both of you. I'll call Nate to get that stuff together. If either one of you can pick that stuff up that would be great.

Thanks.

MattR · 2005-05-11, 08:31 AM

I'll be there, so I will plan on it. Let me know for sure before Monday and we'll be all set.

I just stopped off at mitsubishi and they said there are two gaskets one that is FLAT which is the one that is closest to the CAT, and a RING type of gasket(Goes between the Turbo and DownPipe). about 30 dollars for both which is very cheap.. but should I invest? or keep the old ones? any suggestions ??
