Help with STi Suspension Install?

10:00 am Saturday March 6 is the day for a series of suspension maintenance upgrades on the 2005 STi, that have been planned for a long time. Having assessed the logistics for this, its clear having good help would be great. Anyone is welcome to come over; even more welcome if you are familiar with installing some of these items.

In return for your help, there will be complementary Pizza and refreshments [ie beer] of an appropriate nature. There is only one garage bay so time permitting we could do something else for you while you are here.

I have a pretty extensive tool setup, however if you have some insight on some of these items and the specialty tools, or odd sizes, that would be great I have a floor jack, ramps, tall jack stands and tools, plus a DeWalt Electric impact wrench and sockets.

I will be installing:
RCE Tarmac 2 Coilovers
Whiteline:
Anti Lift K
Roll Center Adj.
F&R swaybars w Kartboy endlinks for swayars
Rack Bushings

Who is confirmed:
Alex
Breel
Wrxinator
2pt5RS
PEd =maybe
Blaster=maybe


If you are available and want to help? I live near Midtown. Just let me know if you are available or you can PM me

 

Hell yeah Chip!! Good to see you've got some nice stuff going on there.

Not sure if I can come by to help, but I'll see how the week goes.

 

Good deal Chip. I will look at my schedule. If I'm off I will be there.

 

Absolutely *NOT* needed on the 05+ WRX and STi. The "new" style rack has much more secure mounting and the bushings are way hard.


However, on anything with the "old" style rack needs bushings like we need the sun.

 

I can swing by and help out for a little after the Tucker Ride. It would probably be around 2ish.

 

hrmm..I'm off and picking someone up from the airport that morning.

define appropriate beverages...

 

I am sure he will get whatever everyone wants within reason.

 

Being that I'm now currently unemployed, I'm free and if you want to make the drive down to the shop we can do this on the lift.

 

WTF? Unemployeed? Call me

 

one per year since birth?

 

Hey, I would like to work something out to help you out in return for the lift

I probably need to ask if the distance is a probem for people who want to help? Need to make sure I can get this done in a day

 

Bump for Chip. Anyone want to help?

Chip, I wont be able to come by until later on in the day. I forgot my wife has a shower in the afternoon so i wont be able to leave until after she gets home. Probably 4-5 PM.

 

at least my shop can be found by 98% of of GPS units on the market today, besides Chip decided not to come down

 

Yeah, Chip decided to do this at his house in Midtown....Now he is closer to everyone so post up if you can make it this weekend

 

Yes and just note your food and beverage preferences in your post!
Thanks

 

Come on people...help a fellow wrxatlanta member out

Breel, you better be there!

 

No, I'm still sulking from Chip turning me down

 

Didn't mean to hurt your feelings!

 

I talked to Breel and he will be there or else no turbo for you Matt (Slowrx) will also be there. ANyone else going to show? Alex, if you come, I would likke to talk to you about some more iterior goodies

I think Breel likes Patron Matt like beer. Ilike red wine but probably wont be drinking

 

I'm just giving Eddie sh--!

 

By the way, since my son went off to college, and the PS3 is mine, all the games remained here with us - real nice on the 60" plasma....

 

Chip let me know what you may need tool wise

 

Red Wine? freaking metrosexual, bet you wear lycra to bed too

 

Chip, PM me your address.

Still not sure if I can make it or not, but should know this afternoon.

 

I would totally come and help, but down in Florida visiting my parents till Sunday. Sorry.... and I just got done doing my suspension....

 

Bump, anyone else??

 

Free Beers/Pizza bump?

 

man I don't know, I got this hang nail bothering me on my pinky toe

 

Our real estate agent's filling up our day pretty quickly, but if I get some free time I'll come by.

 

Chip it is your call? I am thinking probably in the early afternoon till???

 

Some folks have been fine starting as early as 10:00a so I stocked up for the till?

BTW
Just a friendly suggestion, its best to come to a complete stop at stopsigns in this area in case "they're watching". of course lots of regular drivers get confused if you do this, but they will get the ticket

 

DP install anyone?

Hey all. I have a Cobb cat-less DP and Cobb heatshield that I need to install on my '10 STI if anyone is interested. I'd be glad to meet at the g2g or if your guys have enough work planned out already (which it looks like a nice sized day so far) I don't mind doing it myself. I've got a permit for Nicad's garage at his house for Saturday afternoon! Just let me know via post, or text/call 678-300-2536.

Thanks

LOL at post count -- since 2005. My bad!

 

Hehe, well he's shitty drunk constantly... it's just that his tollerance is so high that mundane factors like altitude, potassium intake and sunlight can send him into that drunken frenzy. You would be correct though.

Actually he said he was sick earlier (probably the liver) and he has plans tomorrow. He has a pretty good tool collection also, which I do not. I've never really needed a big set since my Dad's collection is rather sick. I'm really looking forward to the Stage 2 setup though! Uploading the Stage 2 LWG map today on my AP was nostalgic...

BTW, forgot to mention in my text, I do have a set of ramps+driveway

 

Just bring it over to Chip's if he os ok with that. It will take all of like 30 minutes to put on your DP. Bring some PB Blaster

 

True, true. Sure, I'll be there shortly... I'll pick up some PB Blaster on the way. It's only like a 5 minutes drive over to Chip's from my place. 30 minutes is pretty good -- I was thinking like 2-3 hours!

 

We are good to go

 

Ahhh, good point. It's a productive day already!
