I had heard of that before, but I couldn't find anything online about it so didn't want to try it.

well I was going to try the air compressor thing but it's hard doing it alone lol

It uses stored compressed air (20psi) to push the oil in when the hand valve is opened. If you need synthetic gear oil, then I could build another and have it ready when you come.


yeah just standard oil. Sounds good I can finally change fluids :)

oh and just for curiosidy when you say garage do you mean shop or garage?

BBQ is a great idea (the grill is just out the back door of the garage) as for drinks, I'd prefer we keep it non alcohol drinks. We have young ones around, and our family doesn't drink.

Just the cost of the parts (for club people). Haven't priced an air tank in awhile. The rest of the parts should be about $10.

That's why I asked :)

Good to know about the food though! Perhaps we should start a list of supplies we'd need?

Lyssa just pick the menu, and we will put it together! Brats, dogs and burgers? I make a wicked fajita on the BBQ! That is if I am not wrenching.

Why not do a Burger and Brat thing? I can make the hamburger meat if I can snag your kitchen to mix everything up before they go on the grill.

Anyone else want to contribute?

Also, does anyone happen to have air filter cleaner and oil? I should probably clean my CAI and throw some new oil on it.

So I may have come across a great deal for some tires. IF so then I won't be getting the other parts next month like I planned. If I do get them I'll still come down and help out, but my car won't be one of the ones really being worked on.
