Some of us might be in that area on Sat... it's really not that hard to do. The hardest part is to compres the springs, but that's quite easy on an ITR as the springs are already "short" to begin with. Only suggestion is to have Helm's to torque everything down to spec. Now... if there are enough grubs for us, we could swing by and probably change it for you in about an hour.

we = kenny, trey, sean (yeah, kenny and trey will be dragged into it if I can get some free food. heh. )

Yeah, we can help you.....

You Len's friend?

We'll be near the big chicken early on saturday morning... Call or IM one of us and we'll figure out where to meet up.

But we HAVE to be at the autox by noon. Maybe we can help you put them on there?

Sean, bring your trusty helms and somebody bring a metric socket set and spring compressor.

Shane will bring the guns (long story).

I'll coral Trey into helping.

what they hey... post whoring but...

we won't really need a spring compressor for the ITR setup. Spring should be compressed easily by having a person hold the suspension while 1 or 2 people push on it. Then, just take the main nut off and you're good to go. But, if need be, you can rent one from your local store... just don't get one designed for a monster truck... they never fit on Honda's.

Yeah i saw that on www.atl-scca.org but saturday is what they call the "novice school" and you get to use *almost* the same course on sunday.

It's very similar so you get some idea of how it will be. Every 1/10 sec helps, and you get some early seat time.



imho: it's better to have a spring compressor and not use it, than not have one and need it.

Ken - Well, if you go on Sat... you need to have paid $50 already. That's double the price of regular runs...

R R - mind checking out a spring compressor from AutoZone or whatever around the area? Don't need to buy one... they rent it out with a small deposit.

it.

LOL... yeah, TJ we purposedly excluded you, 'cuz you work for Acura and you've got a g/f.

Rick - we'll give you a call tomorrow morning around 10AM. We'll be in the area, like Kenny said. Eric's got the toolz and I'll even bring my ghetto tool box + Helm's manual. It really shouldn't take more than 1 hour. BTW, do you have floor jack and jack stands? If not say so now... we can bring some if need be. Oh yeah, Strippers are great for working underneath the car.
