Very productive and fun weekend

Well despite numerous trips around town searching for parts and picking up tools we needed, this weekend was great! Started off Saturday morning about 10am with me signing the papers to refinance my homes saving me about $70,000 in interest. About noon Zak showed up and shortly there after Will and Tank got here. Began the afternoon with the installation of some BMR LCAs and new Eibach springs which went very smooth. Zak worked on one side and Will worked on the other while i observed their every move making sure they did the installs correctly. I had correct them once or twice but overall they did a great job . Then came the Bassani Xpipe. Shortly after beginning we realized we needed a few parts so off to the store we went. So the 3 of us and Tank, who was not happy with Zak for taking his seat, went on a parts run. About 2hrs later we returned home after visiting, Pepboys, Carquest, NAPA, Harbor Freight, and Lowes. Finally made it home and back to work. Well wasnt too long before we realized we were missing a 15mm deep socket for the 3/8 drive ratchet so back to Lowes I went. Old hpipe came out new X went in and we fired it up....exhaust leak! Checked it out, retightened it, took it for a drive, still leaking. Will and muddy Tank headed for home while Zak and I cleaned things up, including ourselves. We decided to try to track down the leak after a good nights sleep. So Zak, Heather, and I went out to the Steakhouse for dinner. We had a good dinner and Heather got a $8 piece of cake. Yah ONE piece of cake costing $8. Back to the house we went and hung for awhile. Will made it back around 9:15pm and we all headed out to a local sports bar for some green beer and half price appetizers. Well, after several green beers and a few shots we returned home were Zak passed out on my couch holding the tv remote and a bottle of beer. Not to much later til i did the same but i made it to my bed. About 10am this morning we get up, Will heads home to tend to Tank and Zak and I hit the garage after a cup of coffee. Juan2 dropped by around noon and handed up some tools and then enjoyed some delicious Pizza Hut Pizza. We eventually head to Advanced Auto get an exhaust gasket and finally get the xpipe all sealed up with no leaks. Boy does it sound good. Got to see Juans new grille and hear that Steeda exhaust which sounds great! After buttoning everything back up Zak and i take the car out, all is good. So after a few blood blisters, 2 wet dogs, $50 in tools/parts, some cursing, and 3 pizzas everything got done. Will is amazing when it comes to installing stuff. That guy is a genious and i owe him a HUGE THANK YOU! Zaks not bad either and he was also a huge help. Thanks Zak! Without those two guys i would have never finished all that stuff this weekend. Great time for sure. Only thing i have left is Steeda UDPs then i'll finally have all my stuff installed. Again, Thanks guys I really appreciate it!

OK, so where are the pics and sound clips!!!

Congrats on the installs and gettin it done!!

Yeah we did it in my garage. I'll be sure to let you know when we do the UDPS, the more the merrier.

Thanks Brian

It was a hella fun 24 hours for sure!!!

Glad the exhaust Gasket donut worked. It real old school but it works. If you ever have issues with it, we can weld on a new socket side of the ball and socket flange.

When I got home at 9:45 Tank was definetly ready to go outside...

Tank was dirty... and passed out int the truck ride home. He had a blast though...

Hey Will, how about that pic of Zak?

gimmie two seconds I'll upload

We were all tired from the day. Before I came over in the morning, I rode my quad at an MX track for a couple hours.

After the drinks I was ready to crash too... Thanks for letting me crash at your place Nate!

Another target for Laura's sharpie

Just got a call from Zak. He is installing his LCA's right now!!!

Great job, guys

Thanks John! Hows was the Globe Trotters?

Great money shot of Zak, damn slacker!!!
