    shouldn't be a problem installing the horns. More than a few of us have them. Real easy to do as a matter of fact.

    I'll do something a little lighter than guiness since we'll be working. Just shy from domestics (at least for some of us), however if necessary, I prefer icehouse. Benefit of domestic of course it the cost / quantity.

    Beer requires a pub and good friends. Beer/Water requires power tools, cars, friends and installs :cool:

    Beer (my first choice) -- Guiness, New Castle, Harp, Boddingtons, etc.

    Beer/Water (hardly my choice) -- MGD, Bud Light, Icehouse, etc.

    I'll be there now that I have time to do stuff again. Just let me know what you need me to bring. Nothing install, but I'll help anyone who needs it. I'll bring my tools and PB blaster. Maybe i'll even get my wrench that alex broke fixed before then :wiggle:

    I picked up a 650 ft/lb impact wrench today, and can bring it if anyone needs to swap springs. It should speed up the process. I have a portable 11gallon air tank also, which should be enough to break bolts, and use a normal drill for the rest of the process.

    Let me know, and I can bring it. Probably can do a spring install quite quickly with it.

    I want to replace all the stock door speakers with bigger ones (6in. front, 5in. back). The previous owner blew them out. Do you guys think spacers are absolutely necesary?

    Yes, its quite possible. Most common replacements include 6.5" component systems for the front speakers.

    first post edited with directions...

    IMPORTANT: please do not drive aggressively in or around my parking deck or my neighborhood... also dont be too loud (revving ur engines, playing loud music, trying to set off car alarms, etc.)... so far we have had no problems... however, even a single complaint from any of the residents will cause the install day to end instantaneously... the authorities have allowed me to host these events here as long as nobody complains

    That's because Terrain is great.

    Everyone please be aware of Milo's request.

    my plan at the moment: install turbo timer, and gut uppipe.

    possible plans: headers or TBE but extremely doubt either of these.

    gutting up-pipe, what does that "require". meaning, if it's done, do you have check engine light issues or any other issues? i guess what i'm asking, is it REALLY a free mod? and if so, is that something i can get in on maybe? :naughty:
    i might install the stereo and call it a day, we'll see.

    10,12 mm sockets and wrenches to remove ic and the washer bottle.
    Screw drivers depending on what hose clamps you use for your ic.
    Some thread locker (locktite) for the nozzle.

    Drill and bit of appropriate size for drilling ic (can't remember the size but if you need me to bring it let me know what it is when you get the kit).

    A small vacuum line T to get the boost signal to the SMC unit.

    Very easy install unless you get real creative where you put the controller.

    i tried home depot for a T and vacuum lines... they told me to go to autozone... and then autozone told me to go to home depot

    so that brings me to another question... where could i get vacuum lines in addition to a T?

    I got vacuum lines for my crx from Pep Boys. I didn't look for Ts there though.

    They had to go behind the counter and cut it from a bulk roll of it.
