12/30/06: WRXatlanta Install Day v1000009; Hosted by Calmnothing

everyone usually gets together and helps each other out with their cars. People will be more than willing to give you a hand with things. Usually when a install day is setup folks usually post up on here what they are looking to install.

Basically, show up, meet people, learn about your car, and enjoy..

 

wonder if u guys would mind having an ex subie owner stop by for a while.

 

Strayen if you still want to bring queso go ahead. We'll have grills that we can keep the queso warm with. Just put it in a pot that can go on a stovetop or a grill.

Weather.com says partly cloudly for saturday.....

 

I'd liked to come hang out. Anyone with a scan tool? My car is way down on power and it sucks really bad. Hopefully pulling some codes will help find the culprit.

 

I have one....but I'm not going....if your in my neck of the woods and want to meet up and borrow it then cool....:wavey:

 

Don't be sad, you don't have to drive this heap of slow around. I took the top mount off looking for leaks but didn't find any. Remind me never to take that thing off again unless it's got some silicon hoses on it, what a pain in the ass to put back on. I'm changing my oil tomorrow, I'll look around the up-pipe for leaks. My apartment complex thinks it's necessary to make speed bumps the size of small mountains. There is one really bad one when I leave and it hits something under my car sometimes, I'm wondering if it bent the exhaust.

 

Thanks Scott! I'm really tempted to buy a AP v2 after seeing a video of one. It's a really bad ass tool to have. Hopefully someone shows up Saturday with one if not I might hit you up on your offer.

 

i have one, i will make sure to throw it in the truck with me. i also have a set of rhino ramps if someone wants them(for free) i will be bringing along

 

Thanks a lot! If Alex passes on the ramps, I'll take them.

 

will stickers be available?

 

^^good question^^

 

cancel me out on this one. i have to head up to VA Beach for something that came up. thnx.

 

Looks like the rain may hold off until Sunday.

 

ha i have a small gift card for starbucks. so i will have my own warm drink.

 

pot o hot chocolate on the grill? lol

 

Gonna bring some soda and coolers with ice and maybe chips too...also need to get some gaskets from SOG in the morning.

 

Ah come on man, it should just slide right in there!! Should take about 30 minutes right? Hehe. I was just playing around. I have heard it is about 20 hours of labor give or take. Plus I plan on doing some port work to the heads while they are off as well as the intake, tumblers, and exhaust. It is probably going to take a good week or so.

 

If you get here at 4am you should be finished by midnight....

 

Well I'm a little bummed. I ordered the stuff from sakari through Mike but they were shipped out Thursday and I doubt they'll be here tomorrow on a weekend. So non of my parts are here to install. Seriously sucks.

 

Shane, have a safe trip and a Happy New Years bro...I am going to Orlando tomorrow after a couple of hours at the Install Day...I will talk to ya later man...

i might not be able to make it tomorrow. my cousin doesnt have her car so i might have to drive her around. if i do make it out it'll probably be like around 4-5

 

Yeah sorry guys, it's looking less and less likely that I'll be able to come. I should be in Atlanta tomorrow though, so I'll still try to stop by, even if it's only for a short time.

 

can't make it, something with the family came up.........

 

Cold and raining, doesn't sound like a good day for an outdoor install day. Anyone bothering?

 

Slight chance of rain, most likely in the early evening. I'm still planning on it. Just getting some coffee in my system.

 

if you need anything last minute, let me know...leaving in about 30 mins.

 

So much for that..

 

I just wanted to say thanks to all of the folks who helped me with my roof rails un-install...I really appreciate it....The wagon looks uber JDM now...LOL...


Mark

 

Well the DP was finally installed around 8:00pm. Mike had to cut the bolt clean to get it out. PITA! After that, things went in and bolted on within 30mins.

I owe Mike big time! (Also Mike, the screws for the hoses were tight)

I can hear a slight more whine noise coming from the engine now and also more of the turbo. Was new to me so I had to check it out with Mike. If someone wants to take a ride and also give me their input, much appreciated.

Hope the queso was good. Did someone see and get the top to my queso pot? I'd like to get that back. Thanks!

 

I think Alex has it, we found it next to all of the cooking stuff.

 

I can't wait to see the pics.....LOL...

Mark

 

had plans to stop by but the weather was pretty bad on this side of town. dont know how bad it was there but i figured since i didnt reely have anything to install id just stay back.:wtc:

 

Ped, you guys get the springs on?

 

Sorry i could not stay and help more guys. But it was fun while it lasted.

 

yup.. no problems. We were done by 8pm.

 

What are you talking about? :dunno

 

Bobby or Rob(ChemSoldier27), did you all get a pic of my wagon with the new look?. I was going to add it to my garage....appreciate it, and thanks again for all of your assistance!!.

Thanks,


Mark
