    Default Shocks with Ya'll GTG 2/25/05

    Yea I know it's short notice. But two of you need to get some shocks installed, so I figured I'd offer up my Undisclosed Location* for a shock changing GTG this Friday after 5:00pm.

    *PM if you’d like to attend and I’ll send you the address!

    I'd offer emotional support but I work on Friday nights.

    Hey POS,

    Can I bring White and Black to flush and install sway bars?
    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    Who's idea was this anyway?!?!? After doing Bean's car 1.5 times, and doing my car 1.75 times this event really sucked! Only took us around 8 hours to do both cars.

    We laughed, we cried....it was real treat! :P Thanks for the help POS, Bean, ataim and the mystic monkey!

    Well with 3bean's car we learned the short springs are not for the rear! Luckily for us Speedracer and Ataim showed up and noticed our error before we go too far into the project. :monkey:

    On Sammm's car who knew Mazda added extra cushioning stuff on the bottoms of the springs! We didn't until we noticed the cute cushioning stuff as we finish putting together shock number four. So we got to recompress and reassemble all the shocks.

    Did you guys put the clear plastic noise reducing gaskets back on top of all four shocks?

    I would like to give a huge shout out to Mick for allowing me to use his shop again. One heck of a nice guy. Next time well go over to Monkey's to shoot some pool.

    Thanks again, man
