Spring Day

[wrx222]

Ok so the goal is to get my springs in before the next auto-x, I'd let to set up a mod day, to do springs. I think Erin still has to put his on the Xb too, I have no problem hosting it except my tool selection is very bleak, it basically consists of a torque wrench and a basic 3/8" socket set. If anyone can, I could use a lot of help, I'll even supply pizza/beer/non-alcoholic beverages. any takers?

Thanks
Dave

[Bphilly]

Dave, we might be able to do it at my house on Monday around noon'ish. I don't think I have plans.

Just bring instructions and I've got the tools.

[wgnths]

im down to have it at my place, a far drive for you though....and yes i need to do the xb still. otherwise take kev up on his offer, he can do it no prob.

:D Cool, only problem is I can't find any instructions, they didn't come with any and I haven't found any online yet. From what I've read, there's a 19mm bolt that's a pain in the ass to get off, spring compresser is needed ( I can rent one from Autozone), and the bolts to the strut tops break easy when reinstalling.
If you have no other plans I'll gladly take the help :D

Thanks

I don't mind driving. Whatever works best with everyone's schedules, I'm off Monday, I also have Fri and Sat off.

Thanks

Nope, but I DO have it narrowed to 4 possibilities... '05 GTO, '05 Mustang GT, a F-250 Super Duty (turbo diesel), or a Excursion (turbo diesel)

[Max Power]

Lets see here:

05 Mustang GT - Not as fast as GTO
05 Truck Things - Not as fast as GTO

So it sounds to me like an easy decision :)

Yes, I totally agree... But the Excursion and Super Duty would be for other things than driving fast... like trailoring my WRX to races, and getting decent gas milage around town and only having to fill up with a fuel that is cheaper than regular unleaded gas right now... And I can fit more people in for road trips.

[Bphilly]

it would be nice to trailer the rex

[wgnths]

and my 240 :lol:

[pickinicholas]

Find me a trailor big enough and I'll pull both.

[wrx222]

Next Sat sounds like a plan, What time do you want to get started?

Dave

[wgnths]

fairly early i would think, have to see who else is coming.

[F-This]

'05 Mustang GT

There's a nice mineral grey premium due in sometime soon... Red interior :lol:

Good luck finding one, though. You'll get a better deal on the GTO :)

Maybe I can come and install my EBC... need to do it sometime soon.

[wgnths]

well at this time it doesnt look like i can do it, so if anyone else wants to host something......blah i wanted to drop the xb already too.

[DangerViking]

I'll most likely be in Tucson this weekend, but would like to get my EBC installed sometime soon too. damn scheduling!

[wrx222]

Oh well, sounds like a no go.

[wgnths]

we suck.

[wrx222]

Yeah, thanks for getting my hopes up and then crushing my dreams like a giant would crush a lama grazing in a field of joy! :shock:



j/k :lol:

It's no big deal, I'm sure they'll get installed at some point. Thanks for offering to help, some people wouldn't even do that much. :D
Oh and ignore the whole lama thing I have no idea where that came from.

I didn't get any sleep sunday night --> monday, which totall f'ed me up this whole week. Dave, I can help you do it anytime the week after the autox.

Sorry it can't be before as I'll be in Topeka all next week, but I'll be back just in time for the autox.

Thanks Kev, that's cool, are you going to Topeka for Solo2? I may not even be able to go to auto-x due to work, runs start at 9am, I have to leave by 10:15 to make it to work on time, I'm going to have to try and contact Geren again, starting next month with the time change I should be all set for future Sundays.

Dave

[wgnths]

yeah somehow we'll get it done! i was hoping to do the xb sat too. guess its no biggie since my wheels havent shown up after a month. :roll:

[kev]

Yup, I'm insane and going to Topeka for solo2.

[wrx222]

Yup, I'm insane and going to Topeka for solo2.

Sweet! :D

Good Luck!

[wgnths]

I know somebody in Flagstaff selling some JICs. He's the dude at the autox who was driving the Viper.

[wgnths]

I left right after my runs... I didn't see him run... Are JICs any good?

[wgnths]

jic is very good, ask ryan. he had them on his spec v.

[kev]

JICs rule. I'd buy some for the b14, if I could find them :(

JICs are very good...

Never had a problem on the Spec V, and they rode nice while being stiff...

If someone is selling used ones, I say go for it.

[pickinicholas]

After I thought about it... unless they are made for a '05 STI they won't fit...

[moxie]

This is true... :(

[kev]

This is true... :(

mox, buy them! check the classifieds!

[moxie]

I don't have the money... and it's making me sad...

Do they come with camber plates?
