Wish I would have joined :/

Question for @digital_assassin:
How difficult was it to wrap your dash in the 3M carbon fiber vinyl? I just ordered a roll and it should be here on Wednesday.

It's a pain if you take off the existing vinyl since it's brittle even when heated. If you're just wrapping over the top of it then it's super easy. Heat, stretch, stick, repeat.

Sunday afternoon -- this coming weekend... gonna install @stockysnail's bushings. 1pm at my shop. You hearing me, @Chen?

Installing @stockysnail's bushing kit... we can get one team on the front set and another on the rears. Who is in?

Is there a significant advantage to removing the existing vinyl? I'd rather do it the easiest way possible, but I also want it to look as good as possible.

I accidentally ordered glossy carbon fiber instead of matte, hopefully it's not too crazy looking!

Heard and noted. But I'll be in Cali for the week. Maybe I'll get a chance to meet up with a couple owners down there. But personal invite? Aww shucks!

May not get it all done in one night, nor do I expect it, but here's all the parts I need put on my car. I may need a larger payment than just a 12 pack.

For those of you that don't know what's needing to go on my car...

-Pentosin 3 Liter; 75W-80 Trans Oil
-Whiteline KCA416 Front Camber adjusting bolt 16mm
-Whiteline Rear Control arm - upper inner bushing (camber correction) KCA326
-Whiteline Front Control arm - lower inner front Anti-Dive / Caster Correction Kit KCA434
-Whiteline Front Control arm - lower inner rear bushing W0509
-WhiteLine Rear Crossmember Mount Bushings KDT922 Positive Traction Kit
-Whiteline Front Steering - rack & pinion mount bushing KSR210
-Whiteline Gearbox Positive Shift Kit KDT926
-Whiteline Rear Sway Bar with bushings 16mm Adjustable BSR53Z
-Whiteline Rear Trailing arm - lower front bushing W63414
-Perrin Rear Shifter Bushing
-Perrin Poly Rear End Links
-Perrin intake system and hose

Still waiting on delivery of these that will hopefully be here in the next week or two.

-Motul Gear 300 75W90 Gear Oil 2QT for Diff
-Whiteline Front Sway Bar with bushings Front 20mm Fixed BSF45
-Nameless Performance Offset exhaust with resonated downpipe

Waiting for Perrin to finish developing their front poly end links before I can buy them.

Those pictures of me are making me realize how much hair I'm missing on the top of my head! Thanks a lot.

That's a nice looking list. I want to get some of the Pentosin and Motul. I've heard only good things about them.

I might make the trek down there. We'll see what I have going on.

BRZPDX · 01-22-2013, 03:23 AM

Can we do my spacers/wheel bolts? If they show up on time

Well, you ARE from Bremerton, but we'll let you hang out anyway, despite that.

Yeah, I'm going to help Kohei do his in the next couple of days anyway, so I'll have some experience to help you out.

Mo707 · 01-22-2013, 12:09 PM

Don't forget too post some pics!

DarrenDriven · 01-22-2013, 12:34 PM

Don't worry, we post photos of every meetup at my shop.
