Thumbs up [DFW] - Install Party - Sunday, March 27th

UPDATED!!! PLEASE READ!!!

The first try was a bust because no one could make it. So we are going to try again, this time on Sunday, March 27th! We will meet at my house around 11 and start working on people's cars.

Tools I have:
- low profile jack
- 4 jack stands
- two full piece socket sets
- a garage!

Anything else you can think of, make sure and bring it.

I've got some adult beverages, and will also have waters/cokes/etc.

After we get done, there's a nice little ~30 min loop right by the house we can run to break the springs in and test out cars. Its nothing wonderful, but enough to flex your car a little. Post up if you're planning on coming.

Attendees:
1. KWARNER04
2. 987HYS
3. RYANALEXANDER4
4. ROWLETTE RX8ER (after 5)
5. LORD ET (possibly working)
6. WTBROTARY (possibly)
7.
8.

granted that we'll actually have installs occurring, I'll come by to watch/provide moral support/learn a DIY for later/meet you guys, albeit I have no installs to perform myself

Weird, the Jew and I are doing installs on Saturday...or Sunday, we are not positive which day yet...should we merge? Is it an 8 exclusive party? cuz you know he and I can both lend hands if anyone actually needs anything installed on their 8...

I need to check with jew, of course, his schedule may not work out with this. Just throwing it out there.

Well...considering everyone either "might show up" or "I can show up to help others"...my install day seems to be quite the flop. How about I just come help you guys instead?

I'm down for Saturday. Let me know if we have enough to do my spring install and I'll rent a spring compressor if nobody has one.

...? Um...okay, sounds good. But now are we back to something at your place cuz Dusty wants to do springs?

Just keep me posted. I still dunno what's up. And Idk if Brandon is offering to help with an 8 install party or come help me and the Jew?

Maybe just a rain check on the housewarming?

I think Jew and I are just going to stick to Sunday plans as we first had. Pretty sure he wants to get it done early and make it to Joe's party. So I'll just stick with that, keep it simple.

Who is up for a reschedule? New place if needed?
Last weekend before the meet... Saturday 3.26 or Sunday 3.27?
That will give the spring-installers time to get alignments during the week.

Well I got my extensions for the tokicos in the mail Thursday, but the shocks were not in stock (even though I ordered over the phone and they said the shocks were in stock.)

The backorder date has stopped rolling backward at 3/26 so hopefully I can have them by middle of next week... that's a super tight schedule. Is anybody down to help me install them on Wednesday or Thursday night? Otherwise it's going to be a long night for me. I'm hoping they get here Tuesday...Wednesday at the latest.

I've got family in town Friday and Saturday, but I should be free Sunday. So we could do a few installs over here.
