The main access road to my house is currently "under construction". By the time of the event, it will probably be passable (we'll see). Instructions to reach me would be as follows:

From 70:

South (or west if you prefer) on 94 to Harvester Rd. Left on Harvester to the first traffic light at Caulks Hill Rd. Left on Caulks Hill to the first stop sign (Towers Rd.). Right on Towers to the 3rd street on your right, Tower Park Dr. Right on Tower Park drive to the first intersection at Woolwick Ct. I'm the second house on the left, number 804.

From 364:

West till the road ends - at Harvester Rd. Follow the directions above.


From 40:

North (or east if you prefer) on 94 to Kisker Rd. Right on Kisker to the first stop sign at Towers Road. Left on Towers 7 streets? to Tower Park Dr. Left on Tower Park to the first intersection at Woolwick Ct. I'm the second house on the left, number 804.


I have a compressor and some air tools, but not everything that you'd ever want to use. I generally don't use air tools. If you have a favorite air tool, and it has a quick release fitting attached to it, feel free to bring it along for your use.

If you have electrical things in mind, I have a soldering iron and meter on hand.

If you're planning on changing oil, please bring something to put the waste oil into for disposal purposes. I don't think that I have enough retention vessels on hand for a number of oil changes (don't worry about bringing a drain pan though). We can go to the recycling facility if necessary to dispose of the refuse.

One more thing. I don't walk into my house with my shoes on (I work in my garage - and oil, grease or other stuff may get on your shoes while you are out there), so please don't do that either. Leave your shoes by the garage door before entering my home.

I have a sink in the garage for washing your hands and the like and I will make sure there is a small fridge available in the garage for your drinks. Thanks.

 

Thanks for the update, directions and rules of your house.

Depending on what we need to get done, I can bring spare tools that you may not have. Like jacks, stands, additional air tools... Hate to bring a bunch that we will not need.

So...everybody... post up what you want to get accomplished on this first install day.

 

I have (8) chassis jacks and a nice aluminum floor jack, as well as a set of drive up ramps, so you won't need to bring anything along those lines. I also have a set of S2000 service manuals available for reference purposes and a butane torch for heating purposes. For those of you doing oil changes, I also have a factory filter removal tool too.

As the list grows with things intending to be accomplished, I'll be able to tell you what (if anything) you should plan on bringing with you when you come.

As the time gets closer, we will see what everyone else has to do which will allow us to ID the tools needed. I will have a mod to do on my car, but all it will require is a pair of scissors (new straps for the top)

 

Do we need any extra helpers? If so I can bring someone.

 

Not sure... but meeting new people is always fun. Installed my new straps yesterday so no additional work needed to my car at the end of the month. I may be ready for an oil change by then. We need to figure out what everyone needs to have done. Right now it appear that you (Alex) have the most to do.

Everyone.. Please post the work needed on your Vehicle!

Alex... are you still planning to install a new HU and speakers... If so... I have a deal for you... Interested in putting a Sub in your trunk? I have an extra sub laying around. MTX Thunder 6000. Its yours for $40, if your are interested (also includes speaker grill and hardware). Also have some carpet left and the measurements for a sub enclosure for the "well" in the trunk. Should not take longer than an hour to build the enclosure. Here are some pics of mine. This enclosure is easily removable if extra trunk space is needed.

 

Speakers for sure but I'm still not sure if I'll have enough extra money for the HU so I'd have to wait on a sub. I start working again next Thursday so things won't be as tight.

 

Anyone attending that is any good with tint? I would like to tint my rear plastic window with static cling tint. I tried it a couple days ago using this How To Tint Plastic Window and I was very pleased with the way it looked but I did a horrible job with the fitment. I think an extra "steady" hand with the scissors would help. If someone could help me I'll bring my supplies. Here's my updated list of things:
1) Remove AEM and install Comptech CAI
2) Install Cusco STB
3) Tint (If someone can help)
4) Change Door Speakers

 

Alex... Not a biggy. I'll give you a hand. I've tinted several vehicles in the past with great results. Have never tinted a plastic window though. Concept should be the same. How clear is your back window? Scratches? Please bring the following for this job:

Tinting material
Plexus. If you have scratches bring some "Scratch out" or Maguiar's Plastic Polish
Glass Plus, Windex or glass cleaner
2-3 micro fiber towels
rubber squeegees (various sized 2", 3" and/or 4")
Sharp scissors
303

I have Plexus, 303, Scratch Out, Maguiar's Plastic Polish, micro fiber towels which I can bring so you don't need to buy new. Let me know.

My mods are pretty well done (Unless I get my rear bumper covers). Just need to do an oil change which is no big deal.
