The Weekend Plan:
FWIW I'm housesitting in Akron/Fairlawn where my car is stored on Saturay, Sunday, and Monday. Here's my plan:
Saturday:
-Get the car on jacks
-Try to install Lotek pod (includes removing radio)
-Drain oil (full 6qt drain)
-Install oil catch can
Sunday:
-Wire gauges (assuming Lotek install happened)
-Drain/Change Coolant
-Change Brake Pads
-add oil (5w40 for track)
-start the car with fingers crossed
-go to Autozone or Sears and get the parts I need when oil starts leaking everywhere
-start the car again. This time kicking things.
Monday night:
-Clean up my mess after work but before the Buckeyes game
Flexibility on some of the items (pads, coolant) so if someone's available one day who can help and not the other let me know. There's also the possibilty that I will clean out my intake manifold since it was a little dirty in there (probably closer to Jon's clean manifold than Steve's dirty one) but knowing the time it takes me to do work vs. the time listed I'm betting I'll run out of time w/o removing the manifold.
If anyones in the mood to assist feel free to stop by. I have no idea if I'll be capable of wiring the gauges so I may nix that if I decide it's too much.
Oh and I'll have plenty of Bud Light in the fridge.

Still gotta figure out how to cut the car up to allow the pod to recess and run the gauge wiring. I may tear up a little when I do it...

Well Ryan... if you need help/assistance with anything like the intake manifold, let me know.
I'm just preparing for the move to the new house, so I can take a break to help with anything challenging.
BTW... my coils should ship out next week... sucks I was next in line and had to take this "hit"

If I do anything with the manifold it'll be on Sunday so I'll drop a heads up here. I'm thinking about 20% chance of that happening.
Feel free to stop over anytime you need a break. And since John and Noel might stop over at times if you need an extra couple sets arms you'll have that option just down the street.
BTW - Don't get too hung up on the Chitown Lounge. I think they tend to post in the meets thread a lot more.

I shouldn't need any help this weekend since I'm just preparing (like throwing out all the unnecessary stuff).
I'm shooting for next weekend to be the "big" move, but I still need to contact U-Haul to see what they have available on Saturday.
We will be moving all the boxed stuff throughout the week and after the move Saturday, so its no rush to get EVERYTHING out by next weekend... just what we regularly use.

I hear ya... that's why I'm having my father bring a commercial dolly to help move the washer/dryer, fridge, and stove.
I'll take apart the workout machine and the bar, but the pool table I'm leaving to the pros (since that 1" slake is pretty heavy).
I still have a crap-ton of beer left over from previous parties, so everyone who helps will be "well paid".

Right on. I will bring it over for Mr. John. I have some Cpt. too YARRRR. I am not a big drinker since I had a kid. Now with an RX my budget will be strained as if I had a second! Har Har

I really wish I could snag this off you, but timing is kinda bad.. otherwise I'd be over in a heartbeat to get it. Good luck selling though!

Ryan, I can come over any time you need. I don't know shi#, but I come with 6 sets of hands (pit crew). Need to know an address and time.
Jon, same offer for you. Just let us know when you need it.
Guys, I don't know if everybody here has each other's numbers and regular email addresses, but if you send yours to me, I'll put together a list and disseminate it. Send your info to mark@drdomo.com. I won't post anything here on the site, just spread around to those on the list.
