k guys this is short notice i know but oh well. tomorrow, tues the 5th at my house. everyone is welcome and much will be learned so it's a good chance for you n00bs to come out and learn a thing or two. i'm going to install my coilovers and f/r shifter bushings but if anyone has something they wanna put on then i'm sure we can make a day of it. i have some tools but feel free to bring your own. if enough ppl are gonna come i'll go get meat and we can bbq, if not then i'll probably order pizza for those who come. if you just wanna come and "supervise" thats ok too. so post up if your gonna come so i can make the arangements. if nobody comes then more pizza and beer for me...

 

damn dude. i work tomorrow. i wanna go to the meat show too

 

^^lol yeah i know it sucks but you know we hardly ever get the same days off. more meat for me!

 

btw haven't decided on the exact time but was thinking around 9-10am start, before it gets too hott

 

bah, i should quit my job.
I got plenty to do and i'm always down for wrenching...

and meat.

 

^^go for it. you guys can come live at my house. i got a little spare room in the back...as long as i get to drive the leggy every now and then...

 

you're just trying to get free meat...

I should stop by tommorow night and do my new alt... you still going to be going around 7:30?

 

justin, do you got any air compressors or power tools over there? i'm down to help, i'll call you after work, hopefully it's a short day.

 

probably will be done long before 730. no power tools here, just good old fashioned man power...

 

Eh, i'll try to get er in tommorow AM before work then.
anyone done a alt swap before? I'm just worried about the belt mostly.

 

so i guess just me myself and i then? mmmm pizza and beer.

 

Are you still rolling that 91 Suby or did you get an FXT? I need an update...and I thought you were leaving the islands.

 

I'm at work...those coilovers are going to be nice...

Since the previous owner had coilovers...those dang lower bolts on the rear shouldn't be welded on there like from the factory...heh heh...they must have a real meathead at the factory torquing dem bolts on...

I remember helping Drevis...his friend like weighed near 300lbs...he was like bouncing on my bar (full weight)I thought my breaker bar was going to bust...as it was, I still ended up having the deep socket replaced...he literally torsionally destroyed it...wow, what a day that was...

I'm sure your's will go much smoother, have fun...sorry I couldn't help.

 

Wish I could have made this one. Got some stuff to install. Anyone gonna have one on the weekend sometime?

Eric

 

k guys thanks to everyone who came to help....namely me. got everything done and in an hour and a half. not bad for just me by myself. anyways no major problems, near miss but luckily i avoided having to replace another cv boot due to coilover install. the drop is SIGNIFICANT and a little more than i had wanted but it will do for now. i'll have another install day soon and will try to do it on a weekend and with more notice. k now i'm going to go shower and take a drive. oh btw brent, no....it wasn't easier. i think the gorrilla who put the stock struts on used about 800ft/lbs on all the bolts.
