Tech/Work on Sean's car day?

My list of projects/pile of parts is growing.

- Brakes (rotors, pads, lines, fluid)
- diff/carrier swap
- suspension bushing (Energy)
- center console swap (NB1->NB2)
- roll bar install
- oil change
- compression/leakdown test (so I can know if boost is on or off the table :burnrubr:)

Anyone want to lend a hand? I have a big grill and am conveniently located near 121 and Coit in Frisco ;) I'll provide the brats, chicken boob, veggies, and beer (and non-beer for those of you that don't partake).

I have a two car garage (so two Miatas can be worked on at one time) and sufficient tools to do them both (although I only have 4 jackstands).

I'm thinking last weekend in October or first weekend in November.

i'll help

I'll supervise if I'm available. ;)

I'm game to help the last weekend in October. Can't make it the first weekend in November.

Depends on final time and day, but I can help supervise.....or hand you tools. Thats about all I'm good for with cars.

I have a 5k on the 30th... but as long as I have all the parts in I think that weekend works best for me.

im down if i remember, or if i dont have a job by then.. and i remember about it lol

That's a big list of bits you've got, there. Some are, clearly, quick 'n' easy. Others, like the bushings, really aren't. If you've got folks swarming the car in various areas, this seems totally doable (though folks working underneath replacing the diff might not like the noise & debris from the rollbar install).
Which would have priority?

Depending on timing, I might be able to cruise your way. I've helped with three diff swaps, and the console is a pretty quick thing to swap, but I'm pretty rusty on brakes and really have no idea about the compression/leakdown testing. You might want to call AJ to see if he's still up for doing bushings.
I can always volunteer the time of folks I know have done some of these things, often more than a couple of times, but let's see if any of them speak up on their own.

I may be able to lend a hand depending on which weekend you do it. I've done 3 diff swaps and brakes are no big deal. Doing the bushings is a big job, which is why I still haven't done mine.

Official this coming weekend :0)

I had TDR do the oil change and compression/leakdown testing (as well as water pump, timing belt and associated parts, awesome timing huh?) so we don't have to do that at least.
