Feb 20th GTG @Dubwerx

CoJoNEs · February 18th, 2010, 07:03

Its official, Dubwerx is hosting our GTG on Feb 20th, at 8:00 to whenever we get kicked out.

Dubwerks is being extremely gracious allowing us to use their space and associated tools and equipment (and heat!).

Start at 8am, CinciTDI will provide lunch (pizza) around noonish and coolers with water. Bring any additional non alcoholic drinks you want and we will keep them cold.

Small jobs are welcome, especially topside work, we want to get as many people in and done as possible. All work is done with your hands and guru assistance as necessary. This is not drop off your car for service day

Bigger jobs will need both Dubwerx approval and guru approval if you require assistance.

If you require parts you must bring them or work can not be performed.

CoJoNEs · February 18th, 2010, 07:04

As always bring your own parts and your own hands and don't dig into something unless you know you can do it or have someone committed to helping!

I'm not sure I can make it, but I am really interested in bleeding my brakes, especially if someone has a power bleeder.

We can drop intercooler check/cleaning, key programming from my requests unless its super slow and no one shows up

I'm happy just to be there lol.

Eric will be helping doogie while I concentrate on the IP. I'll probably grab Growler if he gets free.

Nash_TDI · February 18th, 2010, 12:36

My brother and I are fairly competent in all of the small stuff including the suspension when we aren't looking at my car.

Growler · February 18th, 2010, 13:53

THought we were starting at 8amishy. thats when I plan to be there.

See everyone on Saturday.

CoJoNEs · February 18th, 2010, 13:56

ack, thats what I get for cutting and pasting.. its 8am, don't worry I will be there

psst1997 · February 19th, 2010, 06:34

I have been planning on going all along with my brother Nash_TDI but just now realized there is something that could be done on my car...

Any interest and/or time to do a PS rack and pump swap? Also have new tie rods, ends, ball joints and control arm bushings I would/could install at the same time. Dubwerx have a press?

CoJoNEs · February 19th, 2010, 11:43

psst1997 I think we will be limited by time and physical space, we are hoping to use one side of the garage for the smaller jobs and the other side for the bigger jobs. Hopefully the bigger jobs will go smoothly and quickly but you never know.

psst1997 · February 19th, 2010, 13:04

I completely understand. Thanks for adding me to the list, I can only hope it works out in my favor but no worries if not. This is all stuff that I can do on my own but a lift and such would make things a lot easier. Not to mention the need for a press for the CA bushings.

See you guys in the morning!

Doogie · February 19th, 2010, 17:12

You guys are awesome! I have all the parts I need for the struts/shock swap and am ready to go. I will be more than happy to drop some coin in the hat for lunch, extra drinks, whatever. See you first thing! Doogie

paramedick · February 20th, 2010, 03:11

heading out. See y'all in awhile.

paramedick · February 20th, 2010, 17:23

Good times. Lots of familiar faces. Solid work done on multiple cars.

Thanks to Dubwerx for hosting and their hospitality. Thanks to all that let us play with their cars.

Bruce and Eric

Thanks to everyone that made it!
