    Default Eastside tech day, Saturday the 17th

    I'm hosting a tech day at my house in Murphy on Saturday the 17th. While I've only got room for one car in the garage, I've got a long, flat driveway that will easily fit another three or four cars.

    We'll be replacing the shocks on gabkwong's '99 Sport, and probably also replacing the shocks on CosmosMPower's RX-8.

    The party starts promptly at 9am. I've got to pick my dogs up from the groomers by 5pm, so don't plan on doing an engine swap, unless you can get out of my driveway by about 4pm.

    PM me for location information.

    Is that enough time to strip and paint my Integra?

    You can do whatever you want... but if it's still in my driveway at 4:01pm, I'm calling the cops.

    What better chance to change a couple of shifter boots (and maybe the shifter if I'm feeling patient)?! PM coming your way.

    I'll probably be along around 12:30 or so to socialize and/or swap out a gauge in the truck.

    All loaded up and ready to go, see you all at 9. OEM shocks/springs, 2 floor jacks, 2 jackstands, spring compressors, some ratcheting wrenches. Hope I didn't forget anything.

    I'll be there ASAP. Maybe not right at 9am. I have jackstands also.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    The more jackstands, the merrier! I've only got four, so we could use a few more.

    See ya'll in the morning.

    I may swing by. I have your address Iain. I'll try to bring jack stands if I stop by.

    Thanks to Iain for hosting, Doug and Alan for the help and Gab for the pizza. It was a day that went smoothly (after we remembered to put all the necessary parts back into the shocks)
