Darren, got plans on September 22nd? It's your shop available for use then? Thomas Dekany (http://tdekany.com/) is going to be doing a new car prep and opticoat on my BRZ, and we need an indoor place to work. My garage is much too small and cluttered to work in.

I have nothing going on that day. It would be nice to sit, drink beer and watch someone else work for once. I blocked the afternoon off on my calendar and the garage is yours.

@TraviigotSWAG installed some Tein springs into the white FR-S owned by @FRES86 tonight. Looking good, Jeff!

Man, This is a great resource you have made available to the local area. I'll have to make a trip down sometime to visit Portland / your shop.

@DarrenDriven - that's so cool you are getting the "kids" involved. Great learning experience for them.

I'm getting the H techs installed in Seattle right now. Since the dealer wouldn't cough up a decent credit for labor the get to do the install anyways and spend hours on my car. They are saying it will take 4 hours and I've done them quicker than that with only a ratchet and manual spring compressor.

I may be wanting to take those KW's off your hands if the poke is too much with an H tech drop.

Yeah, I like giving these kids a chance to learn stuff that I wish someone would have taught me when I was their age.

Man, such BS about the dealer... once you have everything from them you really should post your experience publicly. Pretty ridiculous.

Yeah, let me know about the KWs. Sooner or later they'll find a home, might as well be with someone I know, haha!
