I have never done it before so I am not comfortable doing it. I just knew slim had changed a few in other vehicles. That is kinda why I wanted him to do it at my place so I could learn
I've done transmission and clutch/flywheel swaps before. I'm not volunteering to do it if slims can't, because it's an assload of hard work, but another head will be there to help.

Also, I can't imagine I'll be at the install party earlier than 11am. I like to sleep on my weekends.

That sounds like me, but it's directly fighting with how hot I'm expecting it to be while workin on the car in the afternoon... 6 in one hand, half dozen the other

I heard Jenkins was offering his garage in the morning starting at 8am or 9am? but he will be gone? i dont know but I'm in the same boat about the weekend sleep thing, I damn sure will not be getting up at 7am to get there hah.

Since the BBQ is more aimed at "dinner" time right? I'll probably snag some lunch and try to be there around 11ish?

When do i get an address to find the place we will be meeting at?

well crappo. My dad just got saturday off and it looks like we're gonna do a bbq or something over at there house.

I might stop by just to meet everyone and have a beer, but it doesn't look like I'll be doing the screens or staying for a while.

Decided I'd go ahead and do my parking lights tonight (I was bored). That's definitely one task that's a hell of a lot easier after you figure the tricks of it out. Oh well, I like the new look, so that's what matters. Now I just need to pick up some new fogs.

Last time we did the BBQ as a late lunch, which works great for me... cuz i can't stay till past 4.

I'll make sure to bring the Tandoori Chicken either way.

Damn you Jeff, I wasn't going to go there too! I had a reply typed up and thought "nope, not going there" and you've gone and went there!

Slim, you're sick. Brillo, you're even sicker for wanting to know how!

Wow... thanks guys.

It has been a chain of events that I haven't figured out yet. Honestly I'm so sick right now I don't even want to talk about it. Bottom line is my car is Fucked!!!!! I either have serious clutch/flywheel problems that caused it, or a broken crankshaft. I'm not worrying about it until Monday though.

yeah, im excited to hear everyones aftermarket exhaust.

My parents neighbor has an rx-7 with an aftermarket exhaust that sounds exactly like an outboard motor. My dad and I joke around when he starts his car that he's going fishing.

That's the same kind of exhaust that Devoid (Chris) had on his car last year at Dragon.
