Shawn06SpecB Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 BTW...you guys that were there Saturday, you see the Carroll Shelby Series 1 (aka the modern Shelby Cobra) stashed away in the other half of the building (the empty side)? No, we didn't see the other side of the building. I'll be out of town the next couple weekends so I won't be able to hang out but it was good meeting everyone saturday!

HarryN Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Oh wow, didn't notice the shelby!! Gonna have to check it out next weekend! And by the way, I have been posting on the MAIC - NASIOC forum under the DIY thread. Hopefully I can get something worked out with Ed. I know he was very open to us about holding meets at his place, even has a grill we could use. Plus there are Lexus and Honda guys that go there.

aferrari88 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Down to do this saturday-ish. Was far too hung over to attempt to work on my car this past weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeatherWarrior Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Should we do another thread with a new poll? There was a Lexus GS there, some younger guy with his father I think...on Sunday while I was there. Also had a 1931 Ford antique show up. Very well done restoration job on that one. Two SRT Neons also were there doing some sort of exhaust swap. Wasn't sure. Overall I didn't have much time to check out the others once I got to work since the clock was running. I'll heck out the Outback forum for interest. Not sure if anyone else here is posting over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflystyle Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 first thanks again for the help with the spring install saturday.... yeah there was a stage 2 ss there doing some work when we were there. the only reason i know it was stage 2 is he thought it was badass to put that on his plate.

The car will just sit in the parking garage until then. Alright brah. Good choice on DPS. You will be quite happy. Okay, not to hijack this thread, but who/ where is DPS and what is their contact info? I'm assuming from your comments that this is a well respected tire/ alignment shop? I'm on the lookout for a good place, if you couldn't tell.. __________________ ~Scott '05 Outback 2.5i Wagon Willow Green Opal/ Moss Green Metallic 225/60HR16 Bridgestone G009's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryN Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 DPS Tuning does more than just alignments. They don't do tires. They are a mechanic shop that also does open source tuning. They are located in Gaithersburg, MD, off of Schnoufer School road. Here is their website: http://www.dpstuning.com Speak with Pirouz or Bryan to set yourself up. And yes, they are quite well respected by a number of people. Feel free to name drop my name (Harry with the 2009 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT). I don't get any money or discounts from it, but he will take very good care of you. I been going by there a lot lately for some advice on the STI and what I am planning on doing with it.

HarryN Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 One more thing to add, Mr. Tire off Rockville Pike (near Richard Montgomery High School) is awesome. Speak with Harris. Damn good fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06Limited Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Bump from the dead. I am heading to DIY garage next weekend (March 5th-6th) to do a bunch of maintenance. Anyone else need to do anything, need help with installing, or just want to stop in and supervise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryN Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 I am coming by. I have to do a tire rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06Limited Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'm up for helping with whatever My list includes changing: oil/ filter, trans fluid/ filter, diff. fluid, spark plugs, interior filter, possibly brake fluid, rotating tires, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be available that weekend and can come by with some tools needed and lend a hand. The tranny fluid requires a T70, which most people don't own, and you'll need a pump or something to refill the diff fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tranny fluid requires a T70, which most people don't own, and you'll need a pump or something to refill the diff fluid. Not a problem as I have ultimatetoolco.com's a t70, the 13mm rear diff. plug socket, and a pump for the diff fluid. I've already changed all of these things for my 30k and 60k mile services, so I am definitely fluent on changing everything out. Another hand for the sparkplugs and everything else would definitely be nice, as it would reduce the amount of time that I have to have the car on the lift. In turn I would be willing to fund lunch, a beer or two, etc. Unfortunately since moving from the Midwest I no longer have a personal garage to work in, so I have to default to changing my plugs/ everything else at the diy shop.

The Gray Ghost Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 As soon as I am gainfully employed, I would definitely be interested Harry. I need to do some suspension mods as soon as I can. I wish that there were more install days. We had quite a few when I lived in GA. Thanks for setting this up!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeatherWarrior Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I need to do brake work on the PT Cruiser ASAP. The Subaru is toast (finally confirmed HG issues), so not sure how, when that car will be mobile again. I may go to also see if I can sell my video services to the DIY garage. I need clients ASAP.

06Limited Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I may have to hold off for this weekend. Fred Bean's parts department had a mix up and they just now (over a week later) shipped the final portion of my order. If it miraculously shows up tomorrow, then I will definitely be going to DIY on Saturday. Otherwise I will wait until the 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06Limited Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Fred Beans came through and the rest of my order is waiting at my door. I am planning to get to DIY garage tomorrow around 11ish and I will hopefully be done by 4:00 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryN Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Yeah, I won't be able to make it until around 4:00 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06Limited Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 No worries. Take your time. I just wanted to get an early start due to the amount of stuff I am working on. It's also a nice day out, so I am guessing the place might be packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn06SpecB Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I'm heading there now to give you a hand with your fluids/plugs/filter etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
