the lines under the hood and solenoids i would like to be as hidden as possible but showing in the trunk is fine.....im not too concerned about the nitrous and getting caught because im not opening my trunk if i dont have too and im gonna try and devise some sort of wall to hide the tank when not at shows....the buttons i trust your judgement on the oem looking positions...but as for inspection i dont need to worry till 02/09 and if worse comes to worse i got a connection and wouldnt be going to a state inspection area...i would fail any way with my ride height and tinted windows

So, second day would be useful then. ok, a few things
1) who is interested in coming on the saturday before? If noone can make it, then there's no point. again the shop is in Milford, DE.
2) chris, like I said, if its a matter of alot of driving, you can crash at my place.
3) Charles, I will be able to find a spot for you and you girl too, so that you wont have to rent a room. I have a big ol pull behind RV with a good size bed for you two.
4) I will not be doing any mods.
and an update on the list!
1. Chuck (lurch519) I will be helping with doing mods.
2. Chris (chrism) Zex kit with purge, bottle opener and heater and maybe 2 guages
3. Kevin: Sway swap, Spring swap, maybe more swapping who knows right now.
4. Pat (Shinka213) - not sure if i will get anything done but will definitely be there for moral and/or immoral support...I will post if there are any changes...
5. Mike (Steakboy42)- just coming to help. I don't need any work done.

I can make the 10 hour trip Friday night after work and be in DE Saturday morning. chrism and jzrx8 have the most stuff planned, so far. I can do the flywheel/transmission-based stuff and the nitrous stuff with just the tools I can bring and a way to lift the cars, be it a lift or simple floor jack and stands. Then the suspension, screens, brakes, exhaust jobs can be done at lurch's location. With only 6-8 hours on Sunday, and clean-up time needed, that's not much. So, I am thinking that a second (first?) day of Saturday might be good to plan just to make sure we can get it all done. Just to be clear, I am saying that I can do the nitrous kits and flywheel/clutch swaps (and maybe pulleys, too) on Saturday and then worry about the rest for Sunday.
So far, from both the thread and my p.m. list I see that chrism, jzrx8, snipaz, steakboy, and 8is>enuff are those who would like work done. Is that accurate so far?
BTW, I will probably leave my own car at home that weekend and bring my lady's Jeep, instead. That means a summer trip back will be necessary so y'all can get a ride in an EMS-tuned RX-8 with a direct-port 150 shot.

Sorry i've been MIA, I was in the process of trying to sell my motorcycle all week. I've got it sold so I AM HERE! I am not sure what mods i will be doing during all of this. I will do the flywheel when i get my new clutch which wont be before this meet, I will do the springs and struts at my work. So when i figure out what i need help installing I will let you guys know. When this all started I was palnning on going nitrous but I decided not to go through with it. But like I said, I will let you guys know what I need help with during this. HOWEVER I WILL DEFF. BE THERE!!!

It seems that Chris has the greatest amount of work to do so everything else should be a cinch in comparison. Michelle and I are both looking forward to the trip and maybe, if one of us has an AT, she can take it for a drive. She's afraid of my car.
i would let her drive mine but its a 6MT....
lookin forward to meeting you both...

Depends on how long the trip down takes combined with a few other factors but as of right now yar I'll be crashing down there.
Hmm so we still on one day or two days? Felt like there were more people doing mods but seems to be less now?!
