THANK YOU! ~ Erik, Pete, CJ, Steve! (hi Josh, Allen)
Big ridiculous thank you to Erik and Pete and CJ today for helping me install my Raceland Coilovers, oh my god.
Thanks for the tools and the location/facilities and driving to get the vice grips CJ!
Thank you Erik and Pete for working on my rear end all day, and getting the best lube you could Erik, or was that that other time? Umm.. But yeah, without you two I have no idea if I could have done this even in the time it took!
My friend Steve for putting up with us and our antics and coming up with some good ideas throughout the day and being a go-getter with that front-passenger strut and your insane Sasquatch strength for getting those ridiculous 22mm bolts out.
Hi Josh, Hi Allen, thanks for stopping by for conversation and reminding me which way to turn the bar on my hydraulic jack and such.
It was a really fun day, I learned so much about my car and I owe you guys a ridiculous install day of your own sometime haha, and Erik $10. Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed the Pizza and the Monsters.
Seriously, thank you guys so much!
My friend Mike is coming over with his impact tomorrow to help me with fine tuning everything and Josh and Steve are coming over too to watch/help.
Still want about 1/4in higher on the front driver and 1/2in lower on the rear driver but it's coming together! Plus I still have to let it settle and get it aligned in about a week.
Someday I'll get that wiper bolt cover back, it's probably like $4 at Toyota.. Oh well, I'll have to pick it up, or maybe tomorrow I'll find mine while I'm adjusting the front driver side.
And lastly another huge thank you so very much!

thanks for having us, and it was fun to finally hang out with you guys. i'm hoping my bizarre sense of humor wasn't too off the wall..
the pizza was a FANTASTIC idea.
it was good to see the home turf of the elusive cj. he has a pretty sweet si civic daily he drives. I LIKE!!!
also you need to get steve into more diy type stuff he seems to absorb it like a sponge. i could see him really getting into tuning.

Your humor was appreciated, I think you're a cool guy who I want to hang out more with. Glad you got to meet CJ a bit more and I hope Steve comes around to my car stuff more often, he's a very inquisitive fellow, and he's very mechanically inclined, gets it from his dad who's an engineer at Boeing.
Really, we should all hang out more often than just the meets!

You're both lucky I haven't uploaded the pictures yet, no idea who took the last 20 or so, I think Steve was bored and took pictures of random stuff.
The one, Erik, of your face blowing up over that rear driver strut is just magical.
I wish I had pictures of the pizza eating and other stuff, I need to be more attached to my Camera I guess, or I should have taught Josh how to do it, haha.
Really Erik, Pete, thanks so much for all the help today. You guys ran the show and you even took my calls after you left and I got scared and lonely! *cough*

By the time you and me see eachother next it'll have settled and I'll have re-adjusted and done my alignment so you can try it out then! I'll just make sure to head to Tacoma next month, alright?
Pictures coming probably tomorrow night as it'll be the first free time I've had, spent all day today with my car up on all 4 corners again adjusting them all *up* which took FOREVER, so yeah, it's all within 1/16th of eachother now and it's just got to settle and such before I go for the exact drop and get it aligned.
