View Full Version : Anyone want to help with a Koni install?
John V 10-13-2003, 07:26 AM Well, because the struts didn't come until Saturday afternoon (when I had some lift time scheduled) I didn't get the install done this weekend. Blast!
I would really like to get these puppies on here this week, but I need a place to work on the car. Community managers will officially kill me if I do any major work in the parking lot.
Anyone got a driveway / garage I could borrow for a couple hours to do a cut 'n gut? A copious amount of beer will be your reward (homebrew or 2 6's of your choice?)
John V
I need to install my KYB AGX shocks...hopefully by THIS WEEKEND!!!
Wanna get together to do them??
We can use my bro's garage!! But I am not sure if I have the proper tools. I have a set...but it isn't the greatest. :(
John V 10-13-2003, 09:34 AM I only have about $3k in tools. Everything you'd need. If you need to borrow anything let me know.
I'm probably going to do it on Wednesday... Ken has volunteered his garage :D
John V
Do you guys feel like working on a Honda??:confused: :dunno
I need to get my shocks changed for the Ferarri Club's event at Summit Point this weekend.
Let me know if you can. I have never changed them. I heard that they aren't difficult. How hard can it be...it's a Honda for Christ's sake. :D
My coilovers won't be here in time. :(

SO!!! :mad:
:D
If for any reason Ken's garage doesn't work out, you're more than welcome to use mine, John. I think I'm closer to your house, too.
John V 10-13-2003, 02:02 PM Egg salad.
Yours might have more room, too - Ken's garage is pretty small. I'll let you know! Thanks!
John
Hey can I come over and install my DVD screens in my headrests and ICE? I also need to install my stickers as well. Last shows of the season are coming up.
Andy-you do not need new shocks for Summit Point to run back and forth to the 7-11 to get refreshments for the Ferrari club. :rolleyes:

I guess no one wants to help me install them. :(
magnetic1 10-13-2003, 03:22 PM John, let me know when this is going down.... I will help. I need to check it out since i'll be doing coilovers in the winter...

Oh yeah, well both you and Jed can go suck a azz!!:mad: :mad: :boid:
vjlax18 10-13-2003, 07:40 PM You know you are all welcome in my garage, and I've done many sets of Konis. It's just a matter of finding time. It will take one night for John's car, and half a night for Andy's. And some work needs to be done to Glenn's car soon too. I have tons of work to do to mine this week too.
GreekM3 10-13-2003, 09:08 PM BTW I have a garage too, but horrible tools and a keen sense of how to ruin an install. If someone needs a garage mine is open but you have to help me do my spring swap when my race's come in:)

Thanks John. I knew there was a reason why we let you into team.BAR. j/k
:D
Well, I just saw that the adjustment knob on one of my shocks got damaged during shipment!!! Not sure if it can be fixed or if I will need to order a new one:buttrock
Gotta love my luck with this fukkin car!!!:dunno
:(
John V 10-14-2003, 07:23 AM Andy: Wasn't trying to diss you - I just got busy yesterday and didn't have time to respond. Not sure if there is room at Ken's... send him a PM and ask him what he thinks. I was going to stop by there last night and check it out, but never found the time. I would be OK helping you install shocks, but I think we're doing it tomorrow night and it'll probably take all night just do do mine!
Last time I did a Koni install it took about four hours :az: .
Eric: Wednesday night up here in Columbia. Starting right after work if possible! I can PM you directions if you want to come.
John
vjlax18 10-14-2003, 08:14 AM 4 hours? How much beer did you drink?
John V 10-14-2003, 08:44 AM haha... I was underage at the time - so NONE! :)
This was on my RX-7, so we had to do four cut and guts instead of two like on the bimmer. And the factory strut housings had a BUNCH of welds to file down on the inside.
I'm guessing the M3 will take about half the time.

What's up John? Well, I have decided to keep my car as it is right now. I was thinking about installing my header but I didn't want to break my O2 sensor.
I wish I had more time...but oh well.
Thanks for the offer though.
