    Is anyone going to be removing their pillar on their grill at the install day ? ('05 sti) Can I borrow someone's tools and maybe expertise to do this (on top of my already long list of stuff :))? What type of paint matches best with what's on the grill already?

    There is very little shade in the lot so if you have a tent I suggest bring it.

    Ayrton we might be there around 7. Last install day we were there till 8-ish i think.

    Hello,

    I could bring in some burgers or whatever is needed.


    Mark

    Actually I will bring in bottled water because that seems to go the quickest!!.

    Hmmm seems like few people are installing/uninstalling springs. It will be alot easier if I brought the impact so we don't have to use the spring compressor. If anyone has a truck or a wagon (this is where it comes handy huh? lol) I'm more than willing to bring it. My car will be filled up with exhaust and downpipe for Fareed! ;)

    I'm somewhat sure i can come now, but it seems i might leave early or something.

    Anyways i can bring a cooler, 3 jars of dip, and if needed some car stand things..and a air pump/compressor if needed.

    I believe WJM is a member here that works for SOG.

    I guess I won't need help with a wagon anymore since there's no power source so air compressor will be useless hehe. Thanks for volunteering ;)

    ALEX has mine! :rofl:

    Craig

    I'm assuming we'll only have calmnothing's floor jack if he has one, so if you have room to bring one that would probably be a great idea! I'm going to bring my rhino ramps, and hopefully alex is in town and can bring my jack stands with him (I left them at the last install day because I had to leave early).

    I think scott said he has to work tomorrow. But i live in the duluth/alpharetta area. Near northview highschool, corner of 120 and 141. So if anyone still wants to caravan just tell me where you guys want to meet. Is the BP on pleasant hill good?

    Sure is, there's an exit off of th 85 called Pleasant Hill Road... All you have to do is get off there and take a right if you're heading southbound on the 85, or a left if you're heading Northbound (I think from your earlier posts you are at exit 111, which means you will head southbound and take a right off the exit).

    In easier terms, get off at Pleasant Hill Road exit and head West.

    Then, just look for a BP :wavey: .

    Craig


    Damnit you beat me to it!!!
