Sounds OK - I leave for Denver on Sunday, so hopefully I can stay for a couple of hours. I need to hook up with Edgardo to give a present.

I want a harness...and won't install one without a roll bar.....just in case

I have heard a lot of different opinions about this...and tend to believe the camp that won't install a harness without a bar...I kinda like my neck And after a couple of rllovers last year at PRI..I know it can happen......

Waiting for the seats...so I won't have the bar in next weekend though....

That LOOKS right.

BTW, I'm in the no roll bar = no harness camp to. The shoulder belt is design to let you slide sideways out of the way of the collapsing roof. If there's no roll bar to keep the roof from collapsing on your head, you really don't want your head stuck where the roof is trying to go.

I'd love to be there but I don't think I'll be able to make it. I'm planning to do the Koni upgrade soon as well. I'm also not going to make the track day this weekend, which definitely has me bummed. Are some of you attending on Sunday?

I'm going...assuming that I get my car back together....it's going to the body shop tonight.

They need to replace the window and do some touchups to the front end.....

I will probably be doing my brakes at Darrins on Sat...I don't think I will have time to do them this week

fwiw - if either of you wanna show up EARLIER than 3 that's honestly okay. Just know I'll have to excuse myself for an hour or so to take pix of my girl's soccer game. If you wanna show up about noon - that's fine...get an early start, etc.

I do. FWIW, my koilovers were put-on in the Rain at Dan's place. Makes the installation go better somehow.

Helps cool the hot temper while providing additional motivation to do it right the first time.

I think we'll need you to PM your address.
