    That's true, I commute from kennesaw to Milton everyday and it's about 45 min cutting through back roads to save mileage.

    I don't really need anything installed so depending what I have going on on whatever weekend this is (and how much gas money I have) I'll attend.

    Just a quick question.
    If i bring a Short throw shifter with front and rear bushings and a rear sway bar,
    would there be enough tools, and know-how to get it done? or should i just pay a shop...
    :)

    Bring whatever hand tools you have. Between myself any other people that show up, I'm sure whatever tool you need can be found.

    As far as know how, a shifter and bushings isn't too bad. Neither is the rear sway bar. I'm sure we can get you taken care of.

    I suggest you reserve some lift time because it would make both the RSB and shifter A LOT easier to do. I did my shifter and bushings at home on jackstands (after dark as well) out in the driveway. It sucked doing it without a lift

    How do we go about reserving lift time?
     
  14. John

    John Active Member

    Talk to me about it. I'm organizing lift times. Just give me a time and I'll schedule you in. Lift time / inside shop time will include my tech help if needed.

    I'll update the original post with some info.

    For anyone who is interested in reserving lift time, just shoot me a PM about it. Lets try and get cars on and off the lift as quick as possible to allow lift time for other people as well.

    John Active Member

    Someone like me...if its bigger then the one I have on now....and if I can make it fit somehow.

    I was serious when I was asking about your old parts. If I can make them fit my car then I'll probably get them from you

    Haha I know. if they fit then go ahead! Less work for me to get rid of them :rofl:

    As long as someone has the tools to do the VCGs, it shouldn't be a problem. Just need a calibrated torque wrench and a floor jack to jack up the motor.
     
  36. John

    John Active Member

    I have a torque wrench....that i've actually never used. You're more then welcome to use it as long as it makes its way back to me when you're done with it. I also have several floor jacks at the shop

    Hey Alex, if you're coming tomorrow, think you could toss some wrxatlanta stickers and spotted cards in the car with you? You gave me a sticker once and a tshirt way back in like '08, but the sticker got misplaced and I haven't gotten another once since. Thanks!

    I've got stock 13mm RSB, full 4-corners '04 WRX wagon strut/spring/tophat combo, two rear '05 OBS struts & springs, and some other little interior odds & ends.

    I also have a yakima roof bike mount (tray and frame arm) that I just found in the shed that I don't need. I can bring it if anyone's interested...

    Feel free to bring your old parts and barter / sell or whatever. I'm loading up a van of all my Subaru parts to bring up (I need them to be at the shop anyways...not at home).

    Somebody should by my lone WRX wheel lol
