Tech Day
single cam valve adjustment is pretty easy. just make sure you get there early enough for the car to completely cool down. any heat in the motor will throw off specs. anyone have a cheap box fan to bring?
My list for what I'll be bringing on Saturday is as follows:
Cooler with beer and prolly some soda
Some random food for grilling up (mini-baconwrapped steaks/burgers/hot dogs)
My grilling utensils and seasonings
4 Fold Out Bag Chairs
Fold Out 10ftx10ft Canopy
2 Jack Stands
I know this is a pretty random list, but anything else I can think of I'll edit this post to add it. I've got a low-profile jack as well, but I'll have no way of getting it into the car with the rest of the stuff.

you normally dont have to. unless you just came off a race track or high speed highway run, it shouldn't be too hot. it's actually recommended for the oil to be warm when you drain so it'll come out easier.
If my car is running I will follow Harry assuming he is still going to drive out, if not I will just jump in the car with him assuming he doesn't mind riding as the passenger in his own car
If he is not able to make it and I am up and running I will PM you for directions.

Hey guys, Alex here, I met some of you at the Naperville meet this past saturday. I'd love to come to the tech day; what time would be best? I can do any time saturday or sunday until like 3. I would like to change oil and transmission fluid; I was also talking to Austin about a suspension camber issue that might take a bit more time to investigate. Let me know what works! Thanks
