    Hell Yeah!!

    I'll bring an extension cord, though I'm sure everyone else will be as well.
    That way we can move it way the hell off somewhere else so we don't have to yell over it.

    Anything else you want anyone to bring??

    I've got 2 jacks, I'll bring 'em.

    Also anyone wants to bring me some 194 bulbs, Blue 194 Bulb Condoms or 194-sized LEDs for my interior color change it'd be appreciated >;D
    Just in case I break something >_>

    I need someone with a wagon to come early around 8:15 to pick up the generator. PM me

    I think that a sign up list for the fender roller is a smashing idea.

    Lets just hypothetically say we go from 9am until 5pm...that is 8 hrs. At 2 hrs per car, that is only 4 cars that can get rolled. Even if we go faster than 2 hrs per car...we are still only looking at 6 or 7 cars max that can get rolled.

    If someone is just dying to go first, then that is fine by me, but I would like to be at least one of the first three on the roller. It would suck to get to the end of the day and not even get a chance to do my own fenders.

    If Sakari-Mike gives me the ss lines and clutch lines, i'll have those to install. Otherwise, I might need to change my oil.

    I'd like to be #2 after Ped...

    Well, we can train on my car first, or we could train on your car first. Either way doesn't matter to me.
    Decide how brave you want to be with your car and we'll go from there.

    I would recommend who ever does not give 2 shits about paint cracking go first so you know just how much you can go without issues.

    I could do that now that some fucker keyed my car. I wonder how low I could go with proper rolling. Although I think someone said before mine's already been done.

    Since I already have the roller and heat gun I am thinking about doing my fenders tonight so that someone else can have my spot tomorrow.

    Same here :)

    Just want the damn fenders finished for once and for all.

    I may bring the RCE front springs and install those as well.

    I have a ramp if you guys want me to bring it.

    I've been told installing engine/tranny mounts will take a long time; do you guys think we will have enough time to roll all the fenders and do this also?

    Damn I forget quickly I have a new cordless goodyear impact new in the box w/Xtra battery. I will bring it along with some other stuff we might need. New FP18G arrived this morning...I am stoked.

    I did my rotors last night and I couldnt get the bushing brackets for my sway bars in time so it looks like all Im doing is the ss brake lines.

    and I have a wagon if anyone needs to transport stuff
     
  18. Slowsoul

    Slowsoul Member


    It depends on what you consider a long time...maybe 2 hrs. For both tranny and engine.

    4 jack stands.
    2 ramps
    2 25" extension cables

    I ran out of time and energy, so I didn't end up doing my fenders tonight...tomorrow it is then.

    a clutch swap isnt something that should be done in a parking lot. Id recommend u do it in someones garage where you can let it sit if something goes wrong and it requires alot of tools

    Nice turn out! Thanks Junior for the help on the Brake lines and Ped and Keith for lending me the tools!

    Turned our pretty well, about 22 different wrx members.
     
  35. Kolgoth

    Kolgoth Supporting Member

    Yeah - turned out really well!

    I got the tires rotated and fenders rotated... Didn't end up doin the uppipe b/c I didn't have all my tools or the necessary gaskets... I also didn't do the spark plugs or change out the new grill - but all in all it was a great day... Thanks especially go to Mark for helping roll the fenders - kick ass job man!

    However, I ended up with some stuff afterwards...

    If you're missing a jack - let me know - I might have yours...

    Anyway - dinnertime!

    You too man,how are you likin the brake lines?
     
  39. Kokopelli

    Kokopelli Active Member



    Me too but at least I was under my car most of the time so its only my legs. I had enough sense to put sun block in my car but not enough to put it on me.
     
  40. scooby_snacks

    scooby_snacks Active Member

    I'm liking them so far. It's different to what I expected in the sense that it's not dramatically increased the braking stiffness to that of luxury cars but rather it's more like if I switched to better grabbing brakes. So I don't need to push as hard to get what I want. There were a few times on the way back where I could hear the brakes making a lil noise when I let go from stop signs after having way too much pressure on them keeping them really tight!

    Thanks again for the help mate!

    It's also nice driving about with 5 lugnuts again!

    Thanks for getting it together Wes!

    It was good to meet everyone! Marcus, Wes, Alex, Zan, Gerald, Matt, Ped, Rick, Chase, Jack, Mike Fred, George, Gary, Paul, Sarah, Tommy, Jason, Bob, Donder, Winston, Spangler, Harry, Martin, Charlie...and everyone else that I have already forgotten names of...

    I think there were a total of 7 people including myself that wanted to get their fenders rolled, and we got 5 done...not bad, I am sorry that we didn't get to everyone.

    Rolled even...damn sun! Haha

    Ya - I brought back your jack stands as well; they're over here. Also, one of the jacks have been noted to who owns it, the other 2 are still up though. Check and see if you're missing a jack and PM me if so and we'll see if these are yours...

    Thanks for the help today guys - great seeing everyone show up like that!

    Hey guys, Tae here.

    We did the group-n engine and tranny mount (which was a HUGE pain in the ass by the way; we were there until 7 pm); thanks to you all for letting me use your tools.

    Nice meeting you all! and special thanks to Wes for organizing this.

    P.S. Rick; I have your floor jack and 14mm swivel socket. pED I think you left some smaller wooden blocks - I have them. Send me a pm and I will drop these off or bring it the next time we meet. Thanks again guys.
