Mini tech day 7/11

Hi all:

Thinking of putting on a mini-tech day at my house in Manchester, NH. I have a Hymee grill, rear aero flares and side strakes to install. Thinking people could swing by around 10 or so, wrench on the cars, and then head down to Hooters for a late lunch?

Who's up for an 8 gathering? So far Speed Racer and Tigger are in. Anyone else?

The tech day will be at my house in Manchester, NH. I'll be posting up the directions soon. So that will make 3 8's there and a Toyota Prius (sorry Roy!) :p

The Prius sucks but it is hard to complain about getting 405 miles between fill-ups of 9 gallons of the cheap stuff! Maybe it will go faster if I put a Vivid Racing sticker on it. :p

So it won't be too bad to take off the front bumper huh? I'm hoping the grill will fit great and protect the radiator. If you want to bring some of your tools, please do. I have my Makita cordless drill to install the aero flares.

Anyone else have anything they are doing to their 8?

Kev,

It looks like there are about a dozen fasteners that hold the bumper in place. It looks straight forward and should be quick 'n easy to take off. I'm sure that you have all of the tools we need but I'll bring some of mine just to be on the safe side.

Hope to be there...

If I can get out of work this Sunday, 50/50... I plan to be there...

I will also throw a few tools in the trunk... though I think the "Prius" is right, you should have what you need most likely...

Cross your fingers!

Hey, were are all the people that said they would like to just meet up with people in the area??? Only two or three of us? This seems like a great chance fo atleast a half a dozen of us to get together... and your place is conviently snack in the middle for most of us.

Hey Justin,

I wouldn't worry to much about the Stage 1, Maurice is always slow with shipping items.

Did you ever get your springs installed?

Roy:

Much appreciated if you bring some tools. I have some, but could always have more handy "just in case". Tigger, let me know if you can make it. Anyone else joining us?

Count me in too. I don't think I have any concrete plans for Sunday. I'd like to come and pick up a few pointers on working on this car.

Just a quick thanks for all the help today from Speed Racer, Tigger, and Downshift. I couldn't have done all the mods I wanted to do today without your help. I'll be posting up pictures of the Hymee grill, black side strakes, and front splash guards later tonite.

Thanks again guys! :D
