DIY Day
 
Hi everyone,

Just curious if you guys and gals are interested in a DIY day. I used to help out at these kinds of events all the time when I had my S2000, where we would all work together at someone's house on small projects. These projects can include anything from installing a strut brace to putting in a reverse camera.

Since I'm pretty experienced in mechanical and electrical work, I was interested in organizing such an event, provided that someone with a long driveway that can fit about 4-6 cars can volunteer the location. I have just about any tool under the sun, so if you've been hesitant about crimping wires together and have been waiting for that soldering iron, please reply below!

Thanks.

Cheng

Was going to take my brake upgrades to a shop because I'm lazy, but this might be a good motivation to diy! Never did brakes before so a few pointers would help too

I did mine. If we get this day set I could help there if I can make it. But you'll have to help me with my brakes :cheers:

I have a 2 car garage and car ports for 2 and plenty of driveway space. I in yucca valley though

I think this is a great idea. Sub'd! No space in my driveway as I live in a town home but I'm down to help out if I'm available and it's not too far. I've got most tools to complete most DIY's.

I've DIY'd a lot of creature comforts on my car including: fogs, foot-well, back up cam, front and rear dash cams with the parking mod add-on, and JDM always-on DRL. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not only limited to creature comforts! I've installed a good amount of transmission/suspension stuff too! Next in line is to splice in my new Valentine 1 Radar and courtesy lights for the FRS. Yes, courtesy lights for the FRS! I've done extensive research on the install/wiring(a lot easier with foot-well lights) and I have everything I need to do it, just waiting on my schedule to free up. I anticipate a lot of people requesting it after I install it since a lot of people already ask me for DRLs and foot-well. I've been asked so much to the point where I bought extra resistors for the always-on mod, extra foot-well lights along with 100 feet of wiring lol. They're something I can easily install during a meet. I should've made write-ups but I'm always too lazy to take pictures or even upload/explain them lol.

I have quite a few things to do to my car and could help out. Don't have space at my house but I've done a few diys such as fog lights, 4th brake light, diffuser install, muffler delete install, headlight install, hard wire of illuminated visors off a brz, and a few more things I can't think of.

But I have a few parts I need installed like a front pipe and body kit which needs to be prepped and painted.
