For the win.

Schedule it for a Saturday. We'll go with you to hang for the day.
Tell Mike or Greg I sent you. They will take care of you

thats if you have a full time job like paul/dustin.

for me and john, its usually DIY :P
brake pads/rotors/fluids are easy to do.
as for struts..john knows how to put on/take off, but you need to buy him pizza and soda. and maybe give him $8/hr for labor..i'll help as part of the buy 1 laborer, get 2nd free deal (i'm totally kidding about the money. its really a matter of if you trust any of us to deal w/ ur suspension)

---

god damn all i do these days is research on fender flare options.
the WALD fenders that this guy uses will be too high for the fronts, since our sedan fenders already have flares, and dont sit flush like the wagons.

i'm so willing to do a LITTLE bit of bondo/body work such as molding. i was really hoping this product was the answer to all of my prayers to baby jesus. maybe baby jesus doesnt want 18x9.5's and 265 tires to go to berryessa AT ALL.

can anyone call GST and ask if they roll/pull fenders enough so that i can shove some meat under the car?? i'm really against the hella flush bullsh*t, and my car HAS to have some suspension travel even with wide wheels.

back in 3 days. hope the natomas meet was fun guys

Last time I checked with GST, they didn't do fender rolling or pulling. The next local shop is Speed Element. I do know they have a fender roller, but I don't think they provide fender rolling services. LIC Motorsports in Novato, Mach III in San Francisco, and Auto-HQ in Redwood City does do fender rolling. Of those three, the only one that I know of, that does fender pulling service is Mach III. Here is some more information (pricing) from these shops.

LIC Motorsports: http://www.licmotorsports.com/fenderrolling.htm

Auto Headquarters: http://www.autoheadquarter.com/fender.html

As for MachIII, for more info, call the shop and ask for Henry (dunnojack)

Who else is loving this cooler air now. I love the faster turbo spool in the colder weather.

Heads up on Berryessa trips.

I got a ticket coming home from the Napa Valley last weekend in the passing area near just past the marina (if coming from davis). There were 2 cops sitting in a pullout halfway down the straight. Seemed like a pretty cheap spot to radar people as it is the only legal place to pass in the whole section.
