oh good idea fellas!!!!

too bad my car is sitting cozy in the heated garage with the seats ripped out...i think cupcake and i will handle all of my "to do list" prior to the dragon....but i still may make a trip out to help people get drunk

EDIT: I would love for someone who knows what theyre doing to give me a proper valve adjustment. I did it myself a couple KBAB years ago, but I was exhausted by the time I did it, and cant vouch for my talents in that department.

my to do list on or prior to this tech day:
Alignment
Bumper tab cut out
Fender liner
Heated seats
Lower seat
Diff fluid
Trans fluid
Engine fluid
Brake fluid
Clutch fluid
Spark plugs
Paint caliper
Brake pads/rotors?
Detail
Axle nut torque - done
Go pro mount
Exhaust hanger weld
that's only an afternoons worth of work!
yes sir. That's why it will be done prior to march 31.

One thing I did tonight that I didn't see mentioned that EVERY s2k should do is the axle nut tsb. Torquing to proper spec. I have grease,36mm socket, extension and all tools needed. It takes 2 minutes a nut once the center caps are off. If there's interest I'll bring my stuff to hell make sure everyone gets that'd one

^ good call How much was yours off by? I read some were able to go to 3 o'clock on the newer cars. I'm knocking mine out this week/weekend as I just got the socket for it.

I was off between 45-60*. So quite a bit. I was getting some very minor creeking from my passenger rear wheel so hopefully that fixes it.

I think he just wants to come and watch, learning from us as we work. That's perfectly fine by me!
