any chance we could get an install party going in the next month or so? I should be getting a few things that I don't have the tools or the location to take care of, of course I could supply beer to whoever helps :-)

Mazdaspeed Front Strut Tower Brace
Mazdaspeed Rear Shock Tower Brace
Mazdaspeed Spring Set
Mazdaspeed Front and Rear Shocks

Now I just have to save up a for 2 or 3 weeks grrr

I'm still needing one for my shocks and springs, and pretty soon i'll have my RP Supercat, but I don't expect that to be too difficult.

I didnt think the RP supercat would be difficult either -- I could get everything off except the god damn bolts on the front part of the stock unit... had to wind up taking everything to freaking muffler shop b/c they had GOOD tools to get stuff off

heh now I just have to hurry my *** up and get the parts here in my possession in case something were to happen sooner then later...

I have plans to go home to houston on the weekend of the 15th, so maybe an install party the weekend after that? the 22nd? Only problem for me at this point is going and buying the over $1000 dollars in parts so soon... I could do it but I always feel weird dropping insane amounts of money like that one time :-p

well -- I ordered the full mazdaspeed suspension (minus the Mazdaspeed front and rear sway bars) so yay! i have badass parts on the way.

I've never been to an install party before so i don't know how one works, i.e. who, where, how, etc etc. If the 22nd doenst work, what about the weekend of the 29th? I'll be free that weekend as well. The only weekend im not free is the weekend of the 15th, anyways I hope we can all work out something in the future, I havent even gotten the parts yet and I'm aching to get them on.
