Andy I'd also be willing to lend a hand with Matt and help you out in a driveway as the weather warms.

Andy -

These all are pretty easy, and there's absolutely no reason to get the car in the air at all. As both of you know, my driveway isn't really suitable for anything where you have to lie on the ground (since it's gravel). If you guys want to get these things done sometime in the next few weeks, we can figure something out. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I've started grilling again, so we can have some good eats as a reward for a "job well done". The only tool I don't have for a Hella install is a crimper for the wires.

Bring some good beer we can drink during/after the install, and we're even

Matthew

A) Does the shop have the tools to cut open my '04 WRX's stock exhaust, cut piping to specific angles and lengths (stainless steel), and weld it all back together?

B) Can someone there give me some pointers on doing the above?

Not sure when this would be...

Nope, it's pretty much wrenching only with tire mount/balance, a lift, and air tools.

The Auto Shop has a new site. Check it out for information and such:

Howdy Howdy, THink I can squeeze in a pair of tires for a mount/balance at the shop tomorrow?

RedRoof2 · « **Reply #134 on:** April 28, 2010, 10:23:12 PM »

I'm thinking I'll see if I can get the Jeep up there saturday afternoon for a quick oil change + tire rotation/rebalance.

Does the autoshop have a grease gun or should I bring my own?

Bring your own... if they have one it is probably broken or turned into a flesh light or some shit...

It's always safer to bring your own specialty tools, solvents, funnels to the shop than to assume that they will have one in working order. Hell, we had trouble finding a good funnel to put gas in someone's car last weekend... Most of the older tools that arent used often have been modified for a different purpose or been taken apart to use as parts for a more frequently used tool. I know there are pieces of a pnumatic grease gun around the shop but I dont know if it was ever reassembled... and I doubt they have any grease cartridges anyway.

I just meant the fleshlight bit.....the image I couldn't stop from forming in my mind was pretty horrid

Is there always someone there that can instruct me on how to dismount tires? I never had a chance to use the machine.

Closed for the summer most likely. There are a few guys around all year that might be able to get you in. Dhutch sold his WRX so he doesn't get on here anymore but he is in Troy for the summer if you need to get in.
