anyways... did we figure out a head count for food? or should we just do bring your own things and share kind of thing? that'll probably work best. It seems that we dont know how many people will show.

I am going to try to make it ,

But this is what my car looked like today...(The doctor is IN!)So tomorrow well see how she runs..

[thereisnoyun]

almost there.

So -1 on the timing belt, just found some records and seen that is change 10k ago. So only doing cap and rotor. Probably want to adjust the valves. Does anyone know how to adjust the valves that will be going? Well that should free up some help time for others.

Yess, much more free time then.

Everyone who is going pm me so I can send directions.

[vivalegreg]

i can do valves...just did mine...

as far as im concerned...i still need to do a tranny fluid chance...id also like to do a windshield change and put my new master cylinder in + bleed my brakes if that is cool with y'all

[e30_325es]

4 pms recieved, 4 sets of directions out! Looks like we've got a big day ahead of us guys!!

[thereisnoyun]

bleeder?

anyone got a bleeder? if you do the brakes, it'll take alot shorter time with a bleeder. Dont you need a special spacer thing for the valves?

[vivalegreg]

i have a bleeder actually..its brand new ... ill bring it

I won't be able to make this one but to comment on a couple of previous posts, I dare say that you can get away with working on one car at a time so that it does not look like one big "fix-it" festival. That way if a park ranger comes around and tells you to leave the park or they inquire as to what you are doing, you can tell them that you don't have money for a tow truck and that you are making an emergency repair.

A buddy of mine helped me do a drive shaft swap on my lunch break and we did it right on Pennsylvania Ave.

It'll be at a residential area, aka a house with a garage. I'm not sure if I'm coming either. Its possible, but Im undecided. Ive still got things to do to mine, just not in one day and after driving 100 miles.

[vivalegreg]

ill be there, hey does anybody have a timing light? i played with mine and dont have one, and want to make sure its not too far off...cause i did it without one

[EtaSport]
