I've got the intake for ya buddy... I'll bring it on Sunday. We'll be meeting at Kyle's; he says there's a nice loop around the area to test the springs after the install! I will bring the spring compressor that I'll rent from the AZ and of course a few brewskies for all. If anyone has an electric impact or a compressor for Scott's pneumatic that would really help.

1. KWARNER04
2. 987HYS
3. RYANALEXANDER4
4. ROWLETTE RX8ER (after 5)
5. LORD ET (possibly working)
6. WTBRotary! (has commitment issues, lol)
7. ...?

Everyone who has said they are coming has my number, so just text me for the address.

If you don't have my number, send me a PM and I'll send you the address.

Not yet....I'm really hoping for Wednesday delivery, but I still have no tracking number. They were supposed to ship from warehouse to THM on the 26th.... so yeah. If not, Brandon has offered one of his stock shocks as a stand in for the state meet. I'm at 99,500mi. as of today so I'm taking it in to Town North tomorrow for compression test b-4 100k just to be safe. Doesn't feel low on power or have trouble starting, but it can't hurt to get the #s.

Success! Thanks again to Kyle, Jace and Scott for helping me out yesterday.
We had so much fun installing, we decided to do it twice, lol. (You had to be there.)
Oh, and BTW to any future spring installers- don't even try without an impact.

why do it twice when you can just spread out the fun by doing it one at a time? one in november...one in march... etc.

I'm sure no one remembers my spring story. But Scarlet's song will always be "check out my lean"

Just wanted to read this, make sure it all went ok, looks like I missed a good time with plenty of inside jokes-success! Haha, miss you guys!
