Now that I have my full exhaust setup at the house, who else needs to install some stuff?

My place is kinda small, but it can definitely handle a few people.

We can shoot the breeze, install some parts, grill some dead animals...

Discuss.

Thanks for offering up your place for an installfest Carter! :buttrock

I think I need to bleed my brakes. Ever since Road Atlanta in Feb, the brake pedal has been a little mushy. Don't know if I 1) Glazed the pads/rotors, 2) Wore the pads down quite a bit, or 3) Started boiling fluid. Any thoughts?

What time are you thinking of doing this get together? The in-laws are coming back into town, and we have to go pick them up at the airport.

Wish I cold join, but G and I are installing my X brace and the rest of my SS kit tomorrow night. Then I have to replace the tires on Saturday morning before heading home and spending the rest of the day cleaning my apartment. :(

Enjoy the dead animals! :buttrock

Yep, got it last week! Haven't had a chance to install it though.

Figure it will be easier putting my car up on a lift and having access to all the tools at Athens BMW.

No doubt!
That man of yours is good for all SORTS of things, isn't he?? :eek: :D

Good luck. Let me know if/how much of a difference it makes, I'd consider getting one for my car if it does as the throw in mine is a little light sometimes.

Lets install some brake pads on the little car. It'll be fun. I'll bring some dead animals to put fire to. In my opinion a nice :beer: goes well with the fired dead animals. Perhaps I'll bring some of that too.

Probably should leave that up to the people who can legally do that (ie, Carter).

Alright kids, let's go ahead and shoot for noon as a starting time. I gotta watch Ronell's tennis match at 9am.

Come one, come all. The more the merrier. All credit applications will be accepted.

New customers accepted until 8pm. I'll pick up some dead animals tomorrow. Some of y'all should bring stuff too.

And to make it a little more fun for a Thursday...

Directions to my house are already posted on this message board. The first person to post a link to the exact post where I give out directions gets a six-pack of his/her choice courtesy of Mr. Carter. Sodas will be provided if Kyle wins.

Happy hunting!

If you're too lazy to search, I'll post directions tomorrow morning.

Carter,

I didn't even think of asking this, but is it alright with you to bleed my brakes there? I know some people don't like that done at their place, so I thought I would ask. I can bring the means to get rid of the fluid.

Works for me. I have containers/cleaning supplies in case we spill anything.

Well considering that my roommate got extraordinarily sick today (I damn near called an ambulance) at work and he was scheduled to work tomorrow and Sunday... I'm picking up his hours and I will thus be missing the installfest and the mountain drive. :( Three 11 hour days in a row is brutality... especially when its outside in the heat.
