hey hey just a heads up the unlimited laps are only on fridays and sundays. With that being said im sure the date will be moved to the Aug 21st.

I'll call later today and speak with the manager about setting up a party for us

How much of a pain in the butt would it be to install springs with my stock struts there in the parking lot? :thumb up:

Hey Actually looks like I will also have a set of (hopefully gently used) Tokico Blue struts and a set of Tanabe NF210 (also used) springs. Gonna buy them at the meet up.

I may be able to bring a good floor jack, since thats something that is big and heavy and annoying to haul around and you guys would be doing me a HUGE favor with this install.

Bump for date change.

[Kioshi]

So exciting! I should also have proper struts to go with the springs. I am hoping this makes things much easier.

Someone bring a spring compressor ;)

[Pur_Blu]

Yes, I am the n0000b. It is my understanding that this could go a lot smoother if I have the struts and the springs together? Is there anything else that I would need other than those 2 things?

Sorry I should start a different thread than talking about this here. Sorry Laz!

Spring compressors just make it easier. lol. I've installed stock springs and lowering springs on an 8th Civic before without spring compressors. lol.

[advocate]

Sorry guys can't make this one! Friend is deploying soon and I'll be hanging out with him that weekend.

Next time!

Yeah I was really nervous to hang out with "the tuner crowd" but I dunno Yaris owners are just super cool and fun. Was a different story when I had my Civic SI like 9 years ago.

Harbor frieght has alum race jacks that weigh in around 45lbs. I go one at my house that tips the scales at about 70-80lbs.

STOCK, MODDED, RACING OR NOT RACING EVERYONE SHOULD GO FROM THE BAY AREA

Thanks man, I am hoping to have EVERYTHING for the meet, and then get an alignment done the following Monday, I won't shred my brand new tires in like a couple days after installing NF210's?

Should I bring some jacks and a floor jack?

Also just scrubbed the inside of my car, all the plastic pretty good. Amazing that a difference it made. Just some soap and water. She is gonna get a good vacuums and a wash the day of the meet.

I also PM'ed a friend of a friend of mine up in Roseville and invited him to come down to the meet.

[Kiteless]

Anybody want me to bring a cooler filled with Soda? I can bring like 4x 6 packs or something. Normally I would load it up with Mountain Dew but I will be up all night of I do that. I can bring some Caffeine Free stuff and just some Coke or something.

Also if any electricity is needed I have this big 600W portable battery thing. Should I bring it? Good for high power electric power tools, lights, fans, radio's, what ever.

Jason, I didn't get an alignment for a year or two after installing my lowering springs. lol. Never had any abnormal wear on the tires, but then again, I could have just got lucky. The car always drove straight, steering was straight...up until they started repaving I-80...which threw off my alignment.


Anywho, yes, please bring a jack and two stands, two jacks if you can. lol.


Oh, and no, a few days isn't going to tear up your tires unless your alignment is unbelievably off (like when I lowered my GTI, and I had to turn the steering wheel a 1/4 turn to the left to drive straight).
