Mod Day - Houston
Is anyone having mod days anymore?
I haven't seen any posted in a few years.
I have a 2 post lift and 2 full length boxes full of tools.
Ive restored 3 cars in my garage in the last 5 years.
Im up for one if anyone is interested.

My car is an 2007. It has just over 150k miles and for sure needs a brake job, new shocks, and at least 1 outer tie rod. I currently have the new pads and rotors and almost everything needed for an entire suspension rebuild with the exception of new wheel bearings/hubs and leaf springs. I'm talking new OEM control arms, knuckles, etc. I haven't torn into the car yet to see what is really needed other than being able to see the outer tie rod boot broken.
Non-maintenance related, I have a fast 102mm intake and 102mm Nick WIlliams throttle body that I have to put on there. I believe I need to buy some specific valley hardware still for it to go easily on the LS2. I haven't finished doing the necessary reading/research to make sure I have everything needed as I've been side tracked by another car I picked up recently.
That one, an 89 Turbo Trans Am, looks like it is rolling on original steering/suspension components and brakes. I'm sure that could use a steering rebuild and new shocks/struts and rotors and pads at the very least.

I don't have any mod but maybe a fuel filter change, maybe shocks that some one gave me, and if by chance some one have a Tech 2 can help untuned out the TPMS on the car. I think the previous owner tuned it out and it is not even showing up on the DIC.
I have an 02 Coupe BTW.

Sign me up! 
Glad to lend a hand and tackle whatever comes up! Sounds like Fun!
End of September, or into October the temps will start coming down and we will get away from this brutal suffocating August HEAT and humidity!
