Thread: Good place to take the hotrod?

  1. #1

    Default Good place to take the hotrod?

    Hey guys I got my shocks and springs and am needing to find a good place (ie. cheap and fast) that can put them on when I'm on one of my days off from work. Any suggestions?

    A long time ago... I took my 92 B&T to the Goodyear at FM3040 and Business 121 to have my AGXs installed. Don't recall the price, but it was around 250-ish.

    Now, I'd do it myself... VatoZone has the spring compressor you can rent.

    Hell, if you can grill some burgers & have some drinks we could probably have a tech day at your place hehehehe - unless you live in apartments. If that's the case, we could do it in my driveway if the weather cooperates. There are plenty of people with the know-how on replacing shocks.

    Yeah, I live in an apartment and my days off are Wed. and Thurs. If someone is up to a tech day on one of those two days I'd be in.

    Hey, I wouldn't mind joining you 2 for a tech day! I would like to do the rev-limit ecu mod that CM knows about and have plenty of changing Miata shocks experience. I have a spring compressor too. I'm good for any days after Christmas except Jan 5-9.

    If you have the crystal, I have the soldering station! (try Tanners over in Carrollton if you don't have it yet)

    We can throw some venison brauts in a skillet full of beer & simmer them... then grill 'em...

    I'm open anytime next week - I'm off from the Friday before Christmas through (and including) the Tuesday after New Year's.

    I'm game for a post-Christmas tech day as well. At 105k, I figure it might finally be time to replace the fuel filter.

    I'd appreciate some help on that from members who have done it. In turn, I can lend some suspension swapping experience - I've done well over a dozen Miata shock swaps.

    Thats a negative... he started clearing it out when he was looking for a SPEC car, then he got in to arcade games. Last time I was by there, he had 6 or 8 arcade games jammed in there.

    Well then, let's call it a tech day at my place. I know it's a helluva drive for altiain but pretty local for the rest of us.

    Let's get a better idea of what day we're looking at...

    Either Wed or Thursday is when I can make it. Just let me know what time and how to get there.

    Does Thursday work for everyone? I'll PM the relevant details after we settle on the day and time.

    Can't wait! I'm interested to see just how low my springs are going to put me on to my wheels.
