next thing you know, todd was on point! Props go out to him, someone who learned a ton that day, and work diligently, including a trip to the auto store for parts!

Props to MrDuece - George for helping him all day too!!!

I think you've got it well summed up...but dont forget the major porject of that weekend... the Diff swap with Mo and Jason. *edit* nvm you got it

that i think took the longest... and with reason...

yeah definitely the guys having more items done were closer to the garage... and understandably so, how frustrating would it be to have to walk 50-75 feet to get this socket, get that wrench, then "oh crap i need a screw driver"...

either way, still a very productive and educative day.

Something else i wanted to put up here... The item i discussed with Jason,

How to get the rear wiper to swing in the opposite direction... as my wiper has been flipped to sit horizontally instead of vertically as it comes OEM.

Switch the power and ground wire.............if its a simple electric motor that should work...would have to remount the wiper on the splined shaft of the motor as well.

get a light tester and poke each wire and determine what needs to be switched... should only be two...

that would be awesome!

i think thought there has to be enough time in between Tech days for enough people to gather mods... otherwise there's nothing to do

Jason,

I'm in. I could have test pipes and springs to install. I also need to do my rear differential bushing, but I'm going to wait and replace every bushing on the car at once.
