Sigh...this is why you need to get IM, Josh. Like I said earlier on, this drive was kind of last minute. I'll definitely let you know about the drive next time. In fact, Josh, come join us this coming Sunday. The BMWCCA is putting on a drive. They're meeting at the QFC in Issaquah off Gilman Blvd at 9:30 am.

I guess no more burgers and potatoes for me...

 

^^^josh,

i sent an invite to you. i also sent one for autoX this saturday, and for the bmwcca one for this sunday. not sure why you didn't get them? =( i sent to carries email as well.

the drive on sunday wasn't really a planned drive. carlos wanted to ride in jasons car. i went over so he could peek at my calipers while he was at jasons. i didn't drive and neither did mitchel.

i try to send invites to everyone whenever something comes up. the more, the merrier!

*email sent josh....take a peek. wink*

 

I kid I kid..Btw I did get the invites for this coming weekend. If it rains all week like they say I will be at Stevens or Baker. If it is sunny Saturday I will be at AutoX (maybe in Davids or Carries car). I know for a fact that my suspension will not be dialed in for a few weeks. I am going to do everything at one time and be done!

KW V3 Coilovers (sorry but getting the JIC/cross is a Bytch)
Droplinks
Gt3 F Sway bar
Rear subframe connector
rear toe links (to help with tire wear)
Corner balanced ( have to wait to find someone to do it)

 

josh,

it's supposed to be sunny with maybe a shower or two this weekend. i hope you can make it! if we are in the same grid together, i'll get some shots of you at autoX!

 

With the ***wink*** that is not what I expected to see

 

lol!!! i didn't really notice until you said something....that did sound a bit suggestive! lol!!!

i just wanted to be sure that i wasn't "cut off" from the onion/potat. thing!

 

Josh, If you need help with the suspension, let me know. I have spring compressors in my garage.

I hear gruppe 2 is the place to go for corner balancing...there or Speedware

 

You don't need a spring compressor!

2nd & 3rd
Group 2! They are the shiznits!

 

I'd recommend Cantrell Motorsport for corner balancing. They did a great job installing the coilovers/sways/droplinks in my Turbo and then aligning/corner balancing it afterwards.

How can you compress those springs without a compressor? They'd make the job easier I would think.

 

Stock springs yes,you need the compressor some times. But if you have coil overs or lowering springs, you don't need it. They don't tension the spring when bolting on the hat.

What about taking them apart? Lay the strut on the floor, put your foot on the spring, & use a impact gun to remove the hat. The strut will spring back about a foot.

 

Guy's no joke I have done it before (remember how low my car is) and with my air tools I can have each spring off in about half an hour. I appreciate the help very much though. Not much help is needed however, I will need someone to drink beer and eat while watching me work though.

Any volunteers?

 

^^^lol! calling mitchel.....calling mitchel.......beers!

 

Jody,
I'll bet you can "earn" a pink Caddy w/o having to paint your Boxster. But, we would have to change your name to Mary K!

 

^^lol! 'tis true! and i must say...i DO love make-up and hairspray!

if i should ever get fired from my job...i think i have a calling! hehe!

 

Haha..voyeur mechanic!

I'm down "That's Hot".
