Is anybody going to be doing any fender rolling, or bringing a fender roller to this? I would be interested if anyone has experience doing this.

So how does this work exactly? I'm new to all this. I just got my car in october and its around the 16k mile mark. I'm not sure what service would need to be done or anything or how it would be done. Someone needs to explain this tech day to me!

Basically, we have tech days so that people who know how to do certain service items on our cars can show and help those who don't. Plus it serves as motivation to install parts you haven't put on yet, and just hang out with friends.

This is off topic but im gonna be changing differential fluid for the first time and I was wondering where do you guys get the washers? I found them online but shipping them costs 4x as much as the washers themselves. Will anyone at the tech day have washers theyre willing to sell? Or can I just use the old ones?
