I can't do the 31st, that's for sure.. I might be able to make it for the 1st. It's 50/50 at this point.
Then again, it does not sounds like you have as much stuff to install so maybe you don't need as many hands?

WTF is up with Scott having to wait so long for his exhaust?!?!
Mine SuperCat showed up on Friday but I missed the UPS truck! So says the Tracking data. Hopefully I'll get it today.
Saturday is way better for me. I can do Sunday as well I just can't stay really deep into the evening as I need to pack my clothes and get ready to head to Chicago Monday morning.

Dude I sent you a Berry msg, pack the clothes on the Sat, so all you gotta do on Sunday is hit the sack when you get home. I think its gonna be a really light install, this is really a meet to just hang out. Try and make it out Kevin. Pretty sure the only exhaust if we need to do one is Andrews. I figure Alex (turboeight) went to a shop cause of that top bolt.

UPDATE:
Footman is back, taking a breather to recupperate. Just got back from Scarborough Grace, got admitted for 5 days. He had a large left pnemothorax, basically he had a sudden spontaneous collapse of his left lung. Got admitted, apparently reason it happened was cause he was a thin tall asian male.

Glad to hear he's doing better.....I knew as soon as it was a lung issue that he was in for a pneumo.....Footman I feel your pain....I've had a chest tube once after a football accident broke a few ribs and punctured my lung....wasn't a nice experiance.........unfortunately, "thin" chested people are very proned to this( people who are tall and thin dont have smaller lungs neccisarily, but they usually have a smaller " reserve " volume, volume of air left in your lungs after you breathe out, which causes there to be less pressure in your lung then outside.....blah,blah,blah...little bit of medical **** for your ***
), lets hope its just a one time thing. rest well, hope to see you at the next meet.

Extraordinary Engineering
Weird. I got a bruised shoulder as well... And a bruised lower back.
Glad footman's okay. I've had a pleural effusion (fluid buildup between the lung and the membrane around it) and that was plenty painful enough!
I'll be there!

Thief,
You're not alone in that department. I got burned badly! But I should be better by Sun.
Footman,
Welcome back!!! A sudden collapse of the lung?! Man, you've got to get some weight on those bones!
Part 2 it is!
Pros,
I'll bring the truck around to pick up the exhaust soon. I should be able to do it tomorrow sometime in the evening. I'll let you know.

Hey guys, I'm back. I saw the photos posted on Theif's facebook and the ones darkbrew posted here. Believe it or not, the first thing I did when I came back home late last night was come on this forum.
I was in TEARS after seeing the photos... I missed such great fun. I lost 5 lbs in 5 days at the hospital. I had everything, including what you had Darkbrew. They hooked me up to a chest-tube machine, I had a hole in the pleura, and a hole in the lung, so I had fluids in the membrane space. I coughed for 6 hours non-stop on Thursday night in the ER room. It was extremely painful. They drained out all the fluids in the space, performed surgery on me, removed a piece of my lung that had developed a spontaneous hole. Put in a titanium staple, sealed off the pleura spacing... I had a tube in me for the the past 5 days.
When they took it out last night, it felt like a hot knife and acid ripped through you when they yanked the tube from your chest out. ouch!!!
I need to eat up now to regain the lost weight, and in addition, I need to gain more weight in general.
As for the install, because of the surgery, I'm not sure if I could quite drive yet, because my left arm's range of motions is reduced at the moment. Let's hope it recovers fast by this weekend. Even still, if i am able to drive, I would have no choice but I can only "stand and watch" you guys help me install the exhaust because i cannot do any moderate lifting/bending for at least a month
I'm happy you guys had fun on Sunday...

Great meet, thanks so much for everyone's help. It was great to meet more of the local 8 community. it's so much more fun when you can share your passion with others. As well, special thanks to Jay and Alex for coming over to my place the day before to install the CAI.
Gecko: loving the new Pulley. Car is now much better off the line. Much less hesitation. I'm so glad you told me to get it.
WCS: still no word on my mid-pipe. Don't know why it's taking them so long to get those puppies out the door -- apparently they do have the parts.
Loving the sound of the new muffler and the way my car is running now. Running smoother and faster.
I'll definitely be there Sunday and hoping to get ignition mod installed.

Footman's back!
Damn, that's quite the ordeal you went through.
Good to hear you're back in action.
Don't worry about the installs. We've done so many last weekend, we've got it worked out to a science.
Pro's,
I'll be giving you a shout after dinner to pick up the exhuast. Say around 7ish.
Keep your phone on!
Nice job on obtaining the right nuts for those studs. Amazing what 2 nuts will do to stand in the way of progress.
