Charles,
In liu of a bunch of small jobs would it be worth it to fly up for 2 or 3 big jobs or a combo of a bunch of ignition installs and a big job? We could organize maybe a suspension swap and Bumblebee wants a Nitrous kit. Or if someone wants a clutch and flywheel swap.
If we could get two or three big jobs that way folks could split the airfare.
What are your thoughts on what a good schedule would be?

It would be cool if We could get Ray up here. However some of these more involved installs require tools and possibly a nice garage or shop. Where would we do the work at?

Well for the nitrous install I know you said like 4-5 hours plus I know it's easier to work on a car when you have the tools you need and a garage or shop with sufficient space. You can never count on Seattle weather cooperating, so it's good to work indoors on cars up here.

If I have a place to stay a 3-5 day trip would be possible. The key will be to organize the schedule of mods to be done, make sure all the parts we need will be there, and plenty of time for unforeseen issues to pop up. Alky, nitrous, swaybars, etc., are all fine.
Otherwise, my travel tools will suffice for nearly anything you guys can come up with.

you're welcome to stay at my place.
As far as a shop we can ask Kristopher_D if we can use his place. Let me check with him. He has a garage and we've done major work at his place (changing transmission).
Agreed we need the schedule of mods. and make sure everyone has their parts first.
I hear alkymeth and nitrous installs so far...

I was hoping I could just have that done when I get back to Portland? I was thinking the tires would wear poorly until the alignment was done but other than that it would be safe to drive. If that is not the case then maybe we can go over how to adjust them and I will do it when I get back

Lowering the car changes the toe...the thing that causes the worst tire wear if it's wrong. You can cut the sides down in a couple hundred miles if it's way off....etter to do it at home..
Can give you some quick tips...easy DIY if you're OK with tools

Yep I have gone through the process of getting corner balanced and aligned My car is currently corner balanced and I know lowering it will alter the balance. I was thinking I would drop both front corners the same amount and the rears the same amount and then get an alignment. Later in the year when I get new tires I would get corner balanced again. After typing that out it does not sound like such a great idea

Beer
I'm a salesman for Crown Distributing which has exclusive rights to all Anheuser- Busch and a bunch of other beers. We also distribute Monster Energy drinks. I can usually get free beer or can always purchase at employee price. Let me know what to bring... I was thinking Corona, Bud Light, and Widmer varieties. Let me know what you need chances are I can get it we have like 80% of beer market share. We don't carry miller/coors/heineken. Those are the most popular beers I can think of we don't carry.
