Just wanted to check out over on these boards if anyone has a fair facility/tools, maybe a heated garage that would be willing to help swap out some springs on my g in a few weeks, just got my unrevised springs in when I got back from vacation and the snow makes me want to go back! If anyone has and is willing to help, I have swapped suspension before on my cavalier but dont have tools now that I have moved.

 

Hey Jay...this is about the time in winter when I starting getting stir crazy. Maybe that's why I tend to buy stuff for the Z this time of year?

 

As i said before, you are welcome to come to my house and do it. We have a heated garage, low profile floor jack, impact gun and sockets, air compressor, and pretty much every tool you could ever need. I have swapped out 8 struts and spring in my garage already.

I have done these cars before, as well, and im sure others would love to help. It does not take that long now that we have got it down.

 

Janik, do you have a spring compressor?

 

Nope. only thing i dont have. Gotta run to the checker auto parts and borrow one from them.

 

Man you said it,I am the same way.In that perspective living in a snow state has it's advantages.I seen a sliver 350z and a yellow rx8 (both Had body kits)driving down 66th on Friday while it was snowing by the hub shopping center some what racing each other.I was thinking two things,dude what are you thinking? shortly followed by man I wish I had my car out!

 

I live on Diamond lake like 3 blocks from there!

 

Wow, that is extremely nice of you to share your garage/tools. Do you guys get together to help work on each others Z's often?

That actually sounds like fun to me (an early get together to work on modding a car). I know that I am planning on doing my BBK within the next month or so. If anyone would want to help out by providing a garage, tools, experience, and/or just would like to show up as an excuse to meet and get together before the Spring outing I would be more than happy to provide the beer/food. Just a thought for everyone.

 

Wow there are alot of new people in here. I'm going to try to make it up there this spring/summer

 

nice, I was coming from the gamestop headed home I live a couple of blocks from the Minnehaha falls.

 

Mod party! Let's do it!

 

haha i went to that game stop a couple days ago, of course they didn't have mario kart for wii. NOBODY has it. But for whatever reason i found it on craigslist and finally can play it haha

 

 

oh hai ben

 

oooo la la

 

I have 0 clue how to install brakes. If you get somone else that knows how to do them, to come, then sure.

 

Thanks for hosting. I have changed brakes and rotors quite a bit on other cars which are fairly similiar to this project...the difference being a little extra work involved.

The BBK does come with a comprehensive DIY cd with pics. After looking more closely to the instructions it doesn't look very challenging. The install is estimated to take between 2-4 hours depending on how slow we go. Which sounds about right to me based on the instructions.

I will let you throw out the invitations to others as it is your place...but I feel pretty confident if it was just me installing. If others are excited to come for an early get together to help do a BBK brake mod I would be happy to allow my car to be the first to get worked on.

 

I'm down

 

I'd be more than happy to help out, but I live 3.5 hours away.





Ugggggh coughing up sh*tloads of phlegm suuuucks.

 

Well, i'll let you know when a good weekend is. When you looking to get it done?
