Thanks to the great help of ALLSTARE4 and ACIDJAKE75 this past weekend the garage is really coming around in preparation for Tech Day!

We did the following:
- Black trim molding painted and mounted between gray and white wall line
- About 20 trips to the shed to clean up cluttered crap all over
- Painted all the cabinets black - two of which are out of view.
- Weld reinforced the tire rack - Jake loves welding!
- Garage TV
- Garage PC in the works....
and i plan on doing more this weekend..........
CAN ANYONE BRING A STEREO????? FOR TECH DAY!!??!

Do me a favor, look at your stance and ensure they came with a nut for the lower lug on the rear or if they have a nut welded to one side of the lug on the rear two coilovers.........If not you need to go purchase this nut prior to that day!
See the factory strut assembly has the nut welded to it........so for aftermarket coilover installs! you need this nut! and for some reason, coilovers dont come with it.....

Also, its best to purchase what they call a "Prevailing torque lock nut"
For the toe bolt install:
I only have one dremel tool.........so if anyone else has a dremel they can bring that would be awesome!

I'd love to wrench on a coilover install, I've done susp. installs on a couple different Z's and they're pretty easy work. I'll see if I can get my hands on a dremel tool as well.
Okay cool..........we already have quite a few people doing rear camber kit installs......so thats cool........

I'm going to make it out, weather permitting. Got a Gt spec rear lower tie and was hoping to get those old tow bolts off your hands.
