Default Spring Tech Day - Chapel Hill

Happy to host a Spring Tech Day. What should we put on the list?
- Billman TCT's installed
- My Once Over Checklist?
- Reasons why you should send your injectors out for cleaning
- Compression Testing
- Coil Pack testing
- Spark Plug inspections
- Axel Nut re-torque

Throw out easy things that you can do yourself but wouldn't mind some guidance.

When do you want to do this - Looks like some time in APRIL.

Potential Attendees list:
HKStallion - Vette's park in the street.
GBR!

I would love to join if you are OK with a C8 in the crowd. I bought myself an HTC controller for Christmas that I haven't had time to install yet.
Hopefully the date wont conflict with spring break.

I could use some guidance inspecting suspension bushings, sway bar links, and dif/trans/engine mounts to assess condition and what replacement plan might be warranted. And/or maybe a clutch master cylinder replacement. I’d suggest April for a little more warmth and mitigate conflicts with spring breaks.

OK, so shooting for sometime in April.

HOW MANY PEOPLE would want a Billman TCT?
- I know I can work with him to have enough on hand and they would be the version that only his approved installers can get. Tighter tolerances & clearances requiring careful installation.

I’m down to come up from Charlotte! Just hoping this would be before April 11th. Flying to Japan for 3 weeks the rest of April.

Already have a TCT, but I am curious about the bushings as well.
