Default Get together for some maintenance?

Well, I want to do a coolant flush and would like to gravity bleed my brakes, but I don't have any place to work on the car. I have all kinds of tools I could provide for people to use...but need to find a spot to work.

Anyone interested in putting together a small meetup for some maintenance and have an idea of where we could do it?

Plus, I'd love to finally meet some of you. The Saturday BnC meets are ok, but not really my thing. I'm more into just getting down to work on a car and going out and driving the h*ll out of it. Plus, I'm usually in bed early.



Who needs to do some work?
Anyone have a location?

I can provide:
Metric sockets, ratchets, torque wrenches
Metric and standard combination wrenches
Drain pan for fluids
Torx bits
Screwdrivers
Soldering/heatshrink supplies
Pliers/vice grips
Allen wrenches
Drill/drill bits
Dremel

etc etc. I have a lot of tools, but live in a place where I can't work on my car.

This is a really great idea. I don't have anything I really need to do to the S, but am always willing to help, and would love to get together. My place is just like Brent's here. Can't really do anything. Who wants to pony up their Garage for a few guys to wrench it up?

Hell, I'd just be happy with a driveway or parking lot.

I did my LS1 swap without electricity partially in a storage unit....



And I'm more than willing to help too! My jobs are pretty quick and the brake fluid change is mostly waiting for the fluid to gravity bleed, so if someone needs a hand...let me know!

The first day I got the car I called the dealer and was like. Where the hell is the owners manual. Know what he told me? He said he didnt know! Said i could buy one on Ebay if i wanted it.


This was obviously before i knew about the compartment. So i went around the 2nd night I got it and tried to find the secret compartment. After about 5 minutes i got it. Pretty sweet!

It was a very similar story to get the fuel door open...
