when you decide on a specific location, let us know cause Tysons Corner is so damn big i'd get lost searching for you guys

I can bring some ramps that'll let you back your car right up, and it makes the install a cinch. (hope your car's not slammed though ). Let me know if I should bring them robb.

Ok, I'll bring the ramps. As far as tools go, just find out what size bolts your exhaust is held together with, and bring a ratchet that fits those bolts. If your old bolts aren't rusted on, then you can probably use them for the new exhaust. If they are rusted on, or if you want new bolts, go to Home depot and pick up some bolts that fit. Your new exhaust should come with gaskets, so that shouldn't be a problem. The last thing you may want is some longer exhaust hangers, so the muffler doesn't touch the back bumper. You can get those at any exhaust shop for a few bucks. To recap:

A ratchet that fits your exhaust bolts.
Possibly a hack saw if your old bolts are rusted badly.
New bolts if you want them, (with nuts and a washer).
Gaskets, if not included with your new exhaust.
Longer exhaust hangers.

There ya' go

P.S. Charge?...hmmm...how about free? Is that good? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

OK people. I'm about to leave for school right now, and then I'm going to head to Tyson's Corner to scout out a place. I'll have the final location up either tonight or tommorow morning (most likely tonight). Hang in there, and thanks for waiting. It looks like this is gonna happen . I'll keep you posted.

Kevin =0),

OH YEAH...FOR WHOEVER HAS ONE...DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR DIGI-CAM!!!

Hey Rob, say the word and I'll bring my hydraulic floor jack and jack stands too, in fact, it'd be better to have both jack stands and ramps cause then the whole car will be lifted off the ground, ya know[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

I have a reasonably comprehensive set of ratchet sockets and combination wrenches (read: I am almost guaranteed to have at least one socket/wrench to fit your exhaust bolts) and 3 different sizes of ratchet extensions including a universal-joint adapter that I'd be happy to bring. other than what theguysmiley said about the gaskets and new bolts, I think that'd be all you need to install that baby

I would think that it'd also be good to bring some WD-40 cause who knows how stuck on those old exhaust bolts will be. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

EDIT: I will bring my digicam

Hey Guys. I don't think that I will be able to come. I wanted this weekend to relax, but it doesn't look that way. I will probably be driving down to buy that exhaust from that guy but then i will be coming home. Sorry guys. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

It's all good [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] ... I guess ...

I guess we'll see you at the June meet then, Robb. Take care!

...........................................

Well Slikor, so far it's me, Mex, you, and maybe Speedracer32. Let me know if you don't think we have enough people. I was thinking 5 minimum, but we'll see. C'mon peeps!!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Good deal, it looks like we're starting to get a few people added to our list. If anyone has an installation they're working on, feel free to save it until the meet. And if you need anyone to bring tools, post what you need and I'm sure someone will be able to help you out.

- Does anyone want us to bring food, or should we just chill at the park? (I'll bring a 24-pack of Sprite)

- If anyone knows how to get a hold of superstar19, let him know about the meet.

Oh, does anyone have a dent-removal kit?

whoops, i just installed my rear upper and lower strut and tie bars....darn, shoulda waited i guess--oh well[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

i have a good deal of tools that in can bring if anyone has an installation to do...just lemme know.

i think we could bring some food, maybe go to the park you spoke of, then grab some grub and either chill there or cruise around the area...i think it'd be fun to just cruise around, and since it'll be a relatively small (or very small[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]) group we wont likely get seperated[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

So we have 3 "definates". Well, it's better than none . Good to hear from you Mex, hope you're enjoying vacation.

Note: I may bring my friend Kris, who drives an old red '94 Integra. So look for that next to my car, (my girlfriend may be with me too, so look for a cute blonde ).

Where exactly is Tyson's Corner at? I know it's up around the DC area. And on the 31st? Very nice. I think I might be able to make it up there for the day. Gimme some directions and I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'll save the install of my cleared headlights for that weekend. I really want to get them on my car though, argh!

Tyson's Corner is a little bit south of DC. There's actually a Tyson's Corner exit off of 495, so that should make it sort of easy to find. I'm AWFUL at giving directions, so if someone could help him out that'd be great [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] .
