I think it all depends if we have electricity or not. It's gonna be pretty hard to half of these mods without power.

Crap. Count me out. I think i'm going to take the miata to Town North and hope my ext warranty covers the work, and we're in the midst of yet another giant home renovation project. I'll be ripping out sheetrock/carpet/tile next weekend.

ELECTRICITY UPDATE:

Ok, i talked to Chris (Jenkins-Crew) about moving the party to his house in Ft Worth. We held the last install party there and it went really well. Most importantly... he has electricity, an air compressor, and lots of tools. He also has a grill. Its my opinion that it might be best to move the party there. If anybody has any objections please let me know. If not.. i'll update the first page with the new location, address, and time.

I would agree with this move. This is a good idea.
My amp and sub still haven't come in so I'm still going to need to install them. Might pick up some dynamat in the meantime and do at least the trunk.

Keep us posted as to where it'll be.
Chris also has a working bathroom :b

I'll give people some more time to chime in, so everyone gets a chance to give there opinion. If there are no objections i'll change it tommorow, and update the first post.

I dig moving it to Chris's place. Do we have plates/forks covered? I'll take care of that if not.

I might be interested in changing out my tranny and diff fluid with royal purple.

I also have a set of magnecor wires I could swap out as well.

Chris(jenkins) - Will I need to bring any tools? Like a pump for the fluid and stuff, or is it alright if we use some of your stuff.

I'm still on the fence about whether I wanna do this stuff during the install party. I was saving it for a car day with my dad, since I bought him some stuff for his car, but it he's been really busy lately with work.

Will there be any parking issues by moving it to the new location? I know there are quite a few people coming. Other than that, I am fine with it.

My vote goes to Chris's house (assuming it's ok with him). I'll have to leave fairly early to pick up the keg, but I figure we'll start the install party fairly early.

There are no parking issues at Jenkins' place. First come, first serve in the driveway/garage. Those who don't need a lift or can do their work on the street should stay out of the driveway.

We should all chip in and buy Chris a Dyno. I think its only about $10k. THat would be pretty sweet.

Anyway... looks like theres no objections to moving the party to chris's house. I'll update the first post later today with his home address, the new mods, and food items.

EDIT: Updated the first post with the new information.
