BTW, I was talking to WebToker the other day, about making another geek out.... Since someone in the list wanna do some Cold Air Install and stuff....

Well I(join ownership) have a garage(shop) with almost all the tools you need, impact wrench, offset wrench, dremeal, powdercoate, mandral bent tools, weld, etc..... EXCEPT a lift.... So I was talking to him about having the next geek out at the garage, so its gonna be easier to work on stuff.... What do yall think?

Ya Big-V did and it looked really ****ing sweet. Since he wrecked his car and has to do them over we are going to do it together so maybe we should just have a meet and get everyone to help each other.

Sounds good to me, where we gonna meet? Did big-V say how long it took him to to it? He doesn't come to the board as often so I never did get to ask him.
Looking forward to checking out your getting to the point of max mods machine.

BTW a couple of guys down here swiped a black CL-s from the dealer last week, didn't catch if they had stolen the car and have not been able to recover or they only took it for a joy ride and abandoned it. Just thought it was interesting cause it showed like about 4 CL ont he news today.

I guess we could do it at my place but I don't have a garage.

Is CL-Super or Big-V gonna join us? I have 2 fairly spacious garages as far as house garages go, but the problem is I don't stay in Houston anymore, I'm in Beaumont now.

I think CL-Super will, Big-V may not be in town, besides the fact his car is in the body shop becuase of nasty reck.

I pretty much know how to do it. Big-V sent me directions a while back I just need to locate them. Ya depending on the forecast we may need to do it in a garage. My office building is about 2 minutes away from my APT. We can go there if needed and use the parking garage.

So you guys are planning it for Satruday. (clearing corners) I can only come on Sunday.
Take pics while you go along or a video would be most helpful. BTW someone post that it liked took them 8 hrs? and another day for the silcon to settle? How do you let it settle, just let it sit out of it's socket housing? In that case I can't drive home if we do it right or am I misunderstanding

Yeah, it's silver.

Too bad I can't be there, well anyways I got your email Toker, Thanks. So do you guys plan on video taping the major points, sometimes direction don't work exactly as they come, so a little demo tape would be real helpful.

I got your number, maybe I'll give you a call to see how you guys are doing.
