Default (RCG) need help with installing mods

I order a DRM brake duct, stainless steel brake caliper pistons and stainless steel brake lines.

Pheonix Performance spindle duct.

R-D Racing harness bar and belts.

Could defineatly use some help with the the brake parts install

The UPS guy will also be droping off some CCW wheels and 710 tires but I can handle that
There is no way I can let Rick have bragging rights before the
Auto Fair

I have all the tools for the install just need a little help. I'll feed ya and have the fridge stocked. Looking to do the work Saturday March 12th

I'd be glad to help. BUT don't you want to be ready for the Mar 6th event? Or are you getting ready for the April 3rd event? Where is (G-Braves)?

I think that is the Greenville (SC) Braves stadium parking area. The NCCC has been using that location for years.

Dash: I might be willing to lend a hand, just need to check w/ the "boss" for that date. I'll let you know!

Looks like we are going to have a little mod party

Kirby- I have a set of ceramic pads i'll trade for factory pads if your interested. I have everthing needed to change pads(anti seize,locktite, shims, fluid ect). I will also have an air comp. we might need it for the rear caliper bracket bolts, those suckers can be tight.

Jed- I will probably pick up a bunch of subs or order some pizza. We never have any food at the house There is usually plenty of beer,soft drinks and gatorade.

Mark & Tom hope you guys can make it.

Rick-I'll let you know when the wheels come in so can see if that size will work for ya. I do not plan on using them at the autox. Got um for road course use. I'm still faster then you with street tires I was just sandbagging

The UPS guy just dropped off all of the brake parts from DRM.
Looks like all the parts are in the garage except for the the wheels and spindle ducts.

Directions to my house from I-485:

1. Get off at the Idlewild Rd exit.(from the univ. area go right, from pineville go left)

2. Go to Hwy 51 and turn right (first light past I485)

3. Go to Lebanon rd and turn left (1 mile from Idlewild rd)

4. Go to Walter Nelson rd and turn left (1 mile from hwy 51)

5. Go to Hidden View rd and turn left. (Hidden Forest neighborhood)

6. Go to Home Place Ln and turn right. I am at 11411 Home Place Ln

If you have any problems call me at 704-737-3480
