Default Tech Day

With WTD comming up and the weather getting better, most of you that have been storing you S2K's will be taking them out soon. So I propose a Tech day to get us all ready for upcoming events. I believe the best date (for us going to the Dragon) would be the weekend of March 31st. In the past we have had great turn outs to out tech days, so much so that we didn't always get everything done in one day, so for this, we can try making it a 2 day tech day and have a little more time to work on everything.

Please add your name to the date and give a description of the work you would like done. Everyone is welcome to attend, even if it's just to hang out, watch, and learn. Regardless please add your name to each day you plan on attending.

Place: Austin's, he or I will pm with address once it gets closer to the date.

Time: 9am to whenever Saturday, 11am to whenever Sunday

might help out sunday april 1st session too

as for location, i can offer my place. my driveway can probably fit 8 cars (tight fit), so to get more space to work on cars, i wouldn't estimate 5 cars. but since it's a corner unit, there're plenty of off street parking along the side of the house (approx 100 ft). however, my house is probably far from everyone (plainfield, il) and i don't have much tools. if you think it's a good fit, feel free to use my place.

My house is also open, 2 car garage, and 4 in the driveway. I live in a cul-de-sac so there is plenty of room to park also. My house is located in Crest Hill, IL if you guys feel like making the drive.

I nominate for Luder94 to host this at his house and have a BBQ

I'm in for one day and I can pretty much help out with anything installing, modding, ect. I have plenty of tools to bring if anyone needs anything specific lmk.


-Anyone good with cutting the OEM hood for the vents? and I assume full repaint of the hood after?
