Thread: Suspension swap at Tricky's casa - 01/10

  1. #1

    Default Suspension swap at Titus' casa - 01/10

    I'll be at Titus' place on Sunday swapping out springs and the front sway on the R-pkg this Sunday. This is in conjunction with a header/exhaust swap on another car, fyi.

    We're looking at a tentative start time of 10am. Feel free to stop in and lend a hand...or just share your body heat.
    If you bring a car battery and some cables, maybe you can convince tricky to pop his spare airbag, too!!

    Shoot a PM over if you need the address.

    ...and if a mod would be kind enough to alter the thread title appropriately, that would be most appreciated!

    Suspension swap dogpile?

    Let's limit it to one complete suspension swap per day... I don't have a lift...

    However, you should come by and learn lots of new curse words.

    I'd be there to help but am still sick. Maybe next time.

    Remind me to throw the airbag in the trunk... and let me know if I can bring any tools to the party (esp air tools).

    I'll be bringing some ramps along just to minimize the chance of the odd ride height showing up again after everything's installed. Got all of the other goodies, including the death sticks, packed up & sitting by the door.

    Titus just sent me a text message saying the power is off at his house. He will post when the power is back on.

    Alrighty, due to electricity failure, this game is being called. We'll see if the suspension can be rescheduled for next Sunday or something.

    Sorry my country bumpkin power company screwed up the install day guys. Stupid power didn't come back on until around 5:30.

    Steve and I are working on a new date and will post up when we know for sure.

    Ahhh... if we pull the front tires up onto the lift, it gives you about 4 inches. If you need more, we can raise the lift a little.

    We used to live in your neck of the woods over at Fate. Power seemed to go down quite a bit over there - sorry it screwed up your suspension swap.
