Put me on Rails meet! Next Friday...

SO , I have had springs and sways in my garage for awhile now, kept waiting for the money to buy struts too, but decided to upgrade my camera instead as I won't be autocrossing this season anyway. With that said, I am now hoping to put the springs and sways on asap. I took next Friday off and wonder if anyone might be around to come over and help get everything put on the car. I have all the necessary tools (but no lift :( ). I will be happy to provide food and drinks to anyone who stops by. A few people and I'll order pizza, alot of people and I will break out the grill. As I said, I have plenty of tools so if others wanted to do some minor work on their vehicle at the same time, they would be welcome, but my garage is the only totally flat surface and will be taken up by the suspension work. This would be Friday the 5th of September, not this coming Friday. I could also do this on that Saturday as well, but would have to start really early. Thanks for any help!

Where are you located? I have done this a few times for friends without the aid of a lift :) What year is your car? Air tools?

[belvnmx5]

No air tools, I am in North Gwinnett (loganville/grayson) but have found ways to do my suspension on two other cars without them. I have an 07....

[amaff]

air tools are over rated. I can pretty much do this with my eyes closed now, but I can't do a friday :(

[Doppelgänger]

oh.. an 07.... hmmm, i've worked on NA/NBs...

I have a spring compressor that can be used.

Got the spring compressor as well, just hoping for an extra pair of hands/eyes at this point. :D

Friday's are also a bad day for me. Don't get done with classes till the evening and I'm based in Athens.

[belvnmx5]

So would people be willing to head over early Saturday? 8'ish or so? I would have to be finishing up by 3 at the latest if I tried to do it on Saturday...

Grayson...hmm. Im not far from there so I would be able to stop by.

[MeFryRice]

I think you'd have better luck finding help if you were to move this to a weekend.

[Sawyer]

I can't do Friday's either...

[MeFryRice]

^^ You wouldn't even know where to start! :D

[belvnmx5]

Alright, so Saturday the 6th is now a tentative go. Well do installs until 4pm and I will provide burgers and dogs as well as soft drinks for anyone who comes out.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

If I'm in Atlanta I'll see about coming out.

[Oblio]

I don't get off till 7 on Saturdays. On the air tool thing the bolts on top of the strut tower in the trunk take an air ratchet nicely and keep your knuckles intact.

[MeFryRice]

When the date gets closer, I will see if I am free. :)

I'll swing by MazMart and have a gander at some NC suspension..... but it doesn't look much different than what i've done i'll be sure to swing by and help!

[belvnmx5]

Well, due to eleventybillion storms forming in the Atlantic this week, I will be working nights for the foreseeable future, soooo, I will have to cancel my planned install day. I do hope to make the photo shoot now, but if I am still pulling 12 hour night shifts by Saturday, I may not be able to...
