    Set one up. I haven't seen any "scheduled" garage days since this one old-people club in PA. Every other forum that has a garage/tech day just has whoever needs something posting about it.

    Once my heap can be moved out of the garage, I would be happy to provide shelter and tools, but I'm way out in the middle of nowhere so you'd really need to have something done in a garage to make it worth it.

    It'd probably help if you put where you live under your little avatar thing too, just FYI.

    For starters, update your profile so we have a clue where you are. Then post something in 'Impromptu Events' and check for interest.

    Just fronts? Not sure if you want to mix shocks, unless you already have them Bilsteins in the back.

    I refuse to help anyone, ever... except Ken O. I am hoping to score a trip to Disney next summer.

    noted ... and done. thanks :)

    I usually like to work on my own car whenever possible. I know a lot of folks in Houston from the VW/Audi crowd, and we usually have garage days either at my house or someone else's. I installed my suspension myself on the Miata - so easy - I really like this car for it's simplicity.

    jeff_man, that sounds good! i could use a hand too :)
