Mass mini mod day/Help aidenhardcore install his lift .

9am this Saturday at my house . Id like to try and get it done before 1pm so he can go get a alignment . If I didn't pm you my address and you want to lend a hand . Pm me .
It looks like we should be all set with tools .
I know some are planning on the fog mod or other little things . So if there is a tool that you need and don't personally own . Post it up most likely someone will have it and can bring it .

 

I'll have the tools and wire for the fog mod don't worry about it.

 

Nice nice. I'll be there Im pumped. Anyway we could throw some new brake pads on my TaCoooo? That would be a huge help. Ill make sure I have everything I need.

Miguel did you spray paint those rims? Look like they came out pretty good. Can you powder coat over spray paint? I may try to rattle can them first and if it doesnt come out perfect I'll bite the bullet and powder them up.

 

Idk if we'll have time to change brake pads but the powder coating would require the wheels to be blasted first anyways so no biggie spraying them if you want.

 

Miguel I stopped by a few shops near my house to get prices on the strut assembly they said they don't have a flat rate . It's just hourly labor $85 a hour . My guess is around $150 to do the job . Let me know so I can let them know ahead of time . I don't want to just show up on Saturday and have them say they can't do it . Thanks.

 

Wholly crap, you think it'll take them over an hour to assemble a coil?!?! I would have thought that a shop that's familiar with suspensions would be able to slap them together in about 30 minutes?

 

How much space do you have there John? I wouldn't mind helping with some brake pads as long as you're allowed to work on vehicles outside the garage. (Still need to confirm attendence but it's looking good so far!)

 

Ya it shouldn't take to long . I would say under a hour . But you know how shops are they milk it for every Penny .

I really don't have any space. I don't even have a driveway . Its a very small tight townhouse nieborhood . It a dead end street with a small parking lot at the end and begining . But if we bang out the lift and AJ wants to do his pads . It shouldn't be a big deal.

 

Cool cool. If we dont get around to it no worries. I want to see how the lift goes in. Im there to take notes, pictures, and moral support

 

Does anyone know if there is any special tools needed to install his ucas ? I don't know much about the light racing ucas. Just trying to cover all bases . SO there's no down time going to find a tool at autozone .

 

There wont be downtime. Im a fast driver haha

 

From what I remember, I didn't need any special tools for mine. Only problem I had was one of the ball joints was machined improperly, so Light Racing overnighted a new one.

 

Yes dude I did use the spray paint. It came out good. Small chip but for 3 hours of your time its not bad. And only 30 bucks to do.

 

Damm thats alot Plus an alignment gonna be like 250 lol but oh well what can you do . Cant wait till its done. I was thinking maybe 75 to 100 to install but oh well. Can you ask them how long it should take to do?. I"m only thinking an hour but could be wrong. I was going to go today in your town and ask around lol but you saved me a trip. Thanks you dude. We can do it. Oh and i was thinking, should I install the top spacers for the full 3inches or just keep it at 2.5 without them. I want the full 3 inches but don''t want my cv boot angles to be way off. This is my daily driver so I don't want to be replacing them/parts 24/7 you know? Jut checking to see whats best but would love the full three inches. My lr ucas are coming on wesnday so i'll have all the parts to install everything. I'll still bring the beer, dogs and hamburgers if we are still using the grill'? Thanks again guys.

 

You could call the shop where we had the meet in Foxboro . Maybe he can do it cheap and fast. It's only like 15 minutes from my house.ill leave it on you to choose a place.

 

Ill just use the shop you went into. It's fine. Not a problem.

 

I called the wc offroad in foxboro and he said about 90 for alignment and 85 to assemble the shocks and springs which isn't bad but he is the only one that comes in on saturday boo so he can't do it. I'll just go with your places John. Thanks for the help. Oh and he said 1 hour to assemble it so other shops shouldn't charge me 2 hours but will see.

 

I made a call to a guy named Chad at Windsor Tire in Stoughton. I used my company name and he said he would do it for $75 - $80 and take about 45 - 60 mins.

 

That's a great price. Thank you so much. Can he do it on Saturday? I'll deff go with them. Thanks dude for the help

 

Good job rob!
