It's springtime...the birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing, pretty flowers are in bloom, and the Garage Woolery Spring Tech Day is here! Come out to the season's "MUST DO" event, the Garage Woolery Spring Tech Day! ALL sports car marques are welcomed, so if you know anyone with a sports car, invite them to come along and enjoy the day.

This is an all day, "come and go as you please" event. It is also a potluck, so BYOB and bring some food/snacks/tools/advice/help if you can. Come out to turn a wrench or just hang out and socialize.

If you have a large maintenance project in mind for the tech day (ie, suspension swap, big brake conversion, timing belt change) please notify me ASAP so I can reserve you a spot appropriate for the job you plan to do. First come, first served.

Vendors are also very welcome to come out to the tech day, so if you have anything you'd like to sell, or you're a vendor, or you know of a vendor who'd like to come, feel free to invite them or refer them to me so I can help them get set up on site.

These seasonal tech days are very well attended. If you've never come out to one before, nows the time to come out to see what you've been missing! See you there!

So jealous of you Cali guys. :-[

[PatrickYP]

I'll probably be making an appearance. Anybody here have a fender roller that's willing to help me out? :D

[Dilly]

There will be a fender roller at Garage Woolery. Unless someone borrowed it and hasn't given it back, yet.

[JonB]

I... umm... I'll just do all my stuff at home and hang out a drink lol

[Dilly]

Well aren't you a cool guy.

[Mike]

possibly in.

[Coupeloop]

Well aren't you a cool guy.
i think the most i've done to my own vehicle at a GW techday is swap shiftknobs with somebody...
i have the irrational fear of taking on a big project... and then getting helplessly stuck for hours if something goes wrong... and then have to tow my car if my exhaust is rattling.

[Ham]

Spam cake yes!!!!!!!!

[thedguy]

I... umm... I'll just do all my stuff at home and hang out a drink lol

Depending on how much time Emmi takes on the scales, I'll probably be in the same boat.

[Mike]

Woolery- do you have a welder available to use?

[Skomee]

Sweet.

[diabeetus]

damn it this looks bad ass!!

[Mr.Woolery]

Woolery- do you have a welder available to use?

Yes, I have some welding equipment available if you know how to use it...

[Pantablo]

Mr. Woolery, I called you to rsvp, with a fender rolling project but I realized I wont make it after all. I'll be out of town. Was hoping to meet a bunch of you. Next time. Thanks for hosting such an event.

[EMMI]

Yes, I have some welding equipment available if you know how to use it...

diff welding tech day? then we all just drive slow circles around the MRLS parking lot chirping tires

[artcentermiata]

Emmi gotta align my shiz

that, and i want to recoat my frame rails from when i used to be slammed... oh the damage ive cauuuuuseeeeddd

[Dilly]

Not sure if I can make it to this anymore. My parents want to come down that weekend for my birthday dinner. So I'd have to switch a coworker with his morning shift for my night shift so I can has dinner with family.

[bokehmon]

me first, bishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh LOL

[kung fu jesus]

NA owners: I have a modified flasher relay which eliminates the "ricer" flash if you use LEDs in your turn signals. I will bring it to the tech day, but you have to give me your unmodified, working relay in exchange.

[jdm slick]

[EMMI]

lololol ill bring my camera... and robs cutter

[EMMI]

i hurr the renovated garage woolery has a new spot made just for alignments @_@/=D. cant wait to c!

[AARP]

lololol ill bring my camera... and robs cutter

As long as Toy Story isn't playing in the background...

[BMS 4EVER]

Woolery I'll need an alignment after I install my springs. Is the alignment equipment free to use this day? And would anyone care to show me how to use it as I've never done an alignment before. Lol..

[paulsk]

Just pay to have it done (if the service is being offered that day). There is too much going on to have someone try and learn how to do an alignment on expensive equipment that needs to be used by people who know what they're doing.

[Darthteddy]

If I can get the car running im sure ill have something worth doing...

[EMMI]

feel free to use the alignment gear... but don't expect anyone to teach you and/or do it for you... and be prepared to cough up $$$ if u damage or harm delicate equipment

[BMS 4EVER]

Just seeing if it's a learning type event or just a "do what you can do by yourself" type thing. I don't mind paying for the alignment I just wouldn't mind learning how to use the alignment equipment either lol.

[bzr]

Hey Woolery, I'm def planning to stop by and probably get some lowering springs installed. Not sure if I'll need to roll my fenders too, seeing as I'll only drop it an inch or so (but I have big-ass tires, aw yeah, etc).

[lugee]

I might swing by and help again, just not Emmi or any 7 hour roll bar installs.

[bzr]

If anybody's installing roll bars I want no part of it.* Fuck. That. Shit.

*the only part I will be participating in is the standing back and drinking beer part

I put that roll bar in without anybody's help, not because I'm a badass but because everybody I knew was busy that weekend (http://www.ragemaker.net/images/Sad/forever%20alone%20with%20words.png)...most people take like 7-9 hours to wrestle one in. I think it took me two days, working 8 hours a day. And about a dozen trips to Home Depot.

Hey aren't you going to align my shizz?

[thait]

damn i might try to make it out to this, i have so many pending projects waiting waiting to get installed.
no roll bar install =p since i did that already.....longest install EVER!

Considering the number of cars that will be there to do work, I wouldn't expect people to be that patient while you eat up that much garage space to wrench-fuck your car with thousands of dollars worth of equipment for the first time. Just laying it out there.

I'm sure you can watch, but that equipment is only trusted to a very few people who have trained and have experience with it.

[bzr]

wrench-fuck your car

:lol:

[Grumpy]

Jon, your proposition has been accepted. :fab: :teehee: Be prepared for tech day please! Thanks!

[bzr]

Question: does Woolery or anyone here have a spring compressor? Or will I have to borrow one from Autozone?

[paulsk]

Yes, he does.

[thedguy]

I shall be replacing my motor mounts so if anyone wants to offer constructive criticism/laugh hysterically at me feel free to.

Just make sure to do it in a spot where we all can be sitting down, drinking. No one wants to work to hard at it.


wrench-fuck your car

I'm using that!

[revlimiter]

I will go to one of these someday. Oh yes.

[NDMX5]

Been there, missing it! Will be there to talk about Laguna Seca Caravan...
Thanks for keep hosting David
Nathan

[Neocataboi]

:-( man i just realized, i'm not going to make it. That is the weekend of our Infineon Enduro.

[Ham]

Who wants to help me with an accelerator cable? :3

[jdm slick]

I wanna do a foamectomy on a spare passenger seat I bought from Tam before he left...can anybody show/guide me properly do it?

[kung fu jesus]

Yes. Remind me to bring the tools.

[jdm slick]

Yes. Remind me to bring the tools.

Thanks Steve!

[bokehmon]

Woolery knows his foamectomies, ask him! Most comfortable stock seat I had sat in was one cut up by him. (and his mom)

[AARP]

Motor mounts are on their way. Funny enough Corksport had the cheapest price (outside MazdaComp).

[bokehmon]

^Peachfuzz, im gonna be doing one too. I'll show you how to do it. With my finger up your butt.

[AARP]

With my finger up your butt.

Two or no deal.

[kung fu jesus]

maybe store the ratchet extensions up there?

[bzr]

So...my springs might not ship in time. Who wants to help me swap out a diff instead? :D

[bokehmon]

I don't think you understand what techdays are all about.

We drink beer, and give you horrible advice, while watching you struggle.


oh, we also tell you to man the fuck up when you complain that your exhaust touches the rear bracing, and you want to tow the car home.

[AARP]

I think Dustin is way ahead of you on that one...

Pretty much this. I figure if his diff swap ain't done by 10pm, we can just shove his car down turnbull and see if he can use momentum to make it home.

[EMMI]

Diffswaps r easy!

Too bad I'm busy all day with other things

[Small White Car]

I'm sure you can watch, but that equipment is only trusted to a very few people who have trained and have experience with it and they deserve compensation for their time and effort.

FTFY.


Oh yeah, bring the tools.

:fab:

[djsqiigles]

I will go to one of these someday. Oh yes.

no you wont.

Kodi, my exhaust is rattling. Is it ok to drive my car?

[Gary]

Had my alignment done by Emmi there, did an awesome job and some of the guys there guided me to install my rollbar. IIRC I think I was the only hispanic there hahaha

[Coupeloop]

no you wont.

Kodi, my exhaust is rattling. Is it ok to drive my car?

no thats dangerous to your health and well being

[Phatmiata]

Sent out some GW colored MR Stickers your way guys, have fun at the meet!

[Mr.Woolery]

Gee, thanks! I'll make sure they get passed out to everyone who wants them :)

Cool !! This version will be a Woolery Tech Day Exclusive!

[Dilly]

Aw, I won't be there to get an exclusive GW color MR sticker. Someone save me one!

[Small White Car]

IIRC I think I was the only hispanic there hahaha


Who let this guy slip past?!

We're gonna have to tighten security...






Unless you have food.


You WILL have food this time, right?

RIGHT?!

:teehee:

[bokehmon]

Cool !! This version will be a Woolery Tech Day Exclusive!

I want! (will be there)

[PatrickYP]

I should probably be studying for all my finals next week but I think i'll stop by for a few hours in the morning... Hopefully I'll be able to get an alignment and hopefully the fender roller will be there to use!

[AARP]

So how about a sign up sheet to firgure out what people are able to bring.

1. Sean - Ice (Ice Baby)

[itzzspencer]

i dont think i can make it to this one T.T, or ill come super late. but if i do. little caesars again.

[Grumpy]

2. 12 pack coke, 12 pack dr pepper, money for pizza!

[BMS 4EVER]

Anyone down to help me install my exhaust system? :D or you could point and laugh.

[paulsk]

What do you mean by "exhaust system?" Header, cat, AND exhaust? Or just the cat-back? It's really straightforward. Two jackstands in the rear and hand tools and you're good.

[kung fu jesus]

buy gaskets for the exhaust.

[jdm slick]

buy gaskets for the exhaust.

Steve, bring your tools for the foamectomy please...thanks!

[BMS 4EVER]

buy gaskets for the exhaust.

I've got all gaskets necessary, but the reason why I need help is because my current stock exhaust is welded as one piece. I need to cut it to separate the cat from the header.

[jdm slick]

You need to go to an exhaust shop to have a new flange made for you new exhaust system.

[BMS 4EVER]

You need to go to an exhaust shop to have a new flange made for you new exhaust system.

No, I'm taking out the 1 piece exhaust and putting in a new system with all bolt in components. I have new headers, new cat, new exhaust.

[jdm slick]

Oh that's right...

[kung fu jesus]

I have a new set of flare wrenches to donate to GW. I believe it also includes one that can be used as an O2 wrench.

[thedguy]

Looks like I may not be able to make it. Apparently I'll be setting up a fake Burger King for a commercial

[lugee]

Won't be able to make it. I'll be shooting at some steel.

[kung fu jesus]

OK, I am bringing the tools for Dilly(?) to do a foamectomy, a modified NA flasher module for LED lights, my module modifier kit (if anyone else wants one), my caliper cores to rebuild (if anyone wants to watch), a big-ass sack of kettle chips, and a set of flare wrenches to donate to Garage Woolery.

I don't really have any projects planned other than some minor futzing on my NA. Tina's steering parts haven't arrived yet, so that isn't happening. I don't think Tina is coming out, she has an Astronomy meet later this evening and Puma HATES riding in my car. :lol:

I'll be there around 10, bitches.

I'd like to borrow the foamectomy tools after Dilly if that's cool with you Steve. I'm desperate for more headroom!

I'll be to the tech day around noon. Katie is determined to work on my car and I have plenty of aftermarket parts for her to choose from. See you guys later!

[kung fu jesus]

I might set up a headlight aiming station, too. I'll discuss with David when I get there.

Wow, long day! got there early, and left 11 hours later. Thank you Dave for hosting yet another fantastic day. I'd like to thank the guys who helped out with my suspension switch. It was a fantastic learning process. Steve for helping out when you were busy with your own stuff. Patrick, for your help during the entire install. Emmi, thanks for the removal help and showing me the.... interesting way to take apart the shocks and springs!:shock: JonB for bringing the springs, (I had images of getting everything taken apart, and you forgetting them... LOL!) the smooth reinstall and test driving for me afterwards. And finally, thanks to Rob, for the use of the official RyokuRob spring compressor! :winky: :D :blaugh2:

[Traveler]

Got to meet some new people, work on some cars (mainly Will's exhaust swap), watch some other work being done, learn a few things, and just have fun. Thanks Dave, for hosting Tech Days!

[Skomee]

Great event as always; thanks for hosting David.

[Dreaming Hana]

As always thank you for hosting David and letting me borrow your pots and grill for making BBQ =)

[bzr]

Another awesome tech day. Thanks Woolery for letting me mooch off the beer and fried chicken.

[Risingsun124]

Thanks Dave for hosting an awesome tech day. Thanks Emmi for putting us to work.

[kung fu jesus]

Thanks, David! The new Woolery compound is awesome!

This techday's award for PITA, stubborn car goes to Will's NA. There is always ONE car that resists being modified or repaired, no matter how many people help.

Second place goes to Sean's car. Your car can DIAF.

[urban]

Which car? If you're referring to mine, it was Dave that told me to park that way LOL.

Anyways, thank you Dave for hosting tech day and putting up with all of my questions. Thanks to Steve for putting up with my endless slew of questions and all the help you provided with the exhaust and spring install. Thanks to Darryl, Gus, emmi, jonb, and ryokurob for helping me out when I needed a strong arm and some input. There was someone else that was helping me too, but I didn't get his name. The one that left his tools.. Pedro? :p an extra huge thank you for rob for going home and getting me oem front struts when one of mine got cross threaded -.- I owe you one man. Tech day just proves to me that the miata community is unparalleled in the SoCal car scene. I love you guys. White power!

The tools were for Marco, if you guys haven't already established that. Lol.

[Mr.Woolery]

Thank you everyone for coming out and enjoying the tech day! I had a great time...

...I do apologize for getting all pooped out after midnight, though. I was knackered and turned into a piece of overboiled brocolli. LOL

[kung fu jesus]

no worries, David. I was surprised how time slipped away after the sun went down.

is there a stock exhaust manifold sitting there from BMS' header install?

[EMMI]

it seemed like all of the big projects started when the sun went down... lol

[urban]

How late were you guys there?
i couldnt get free till 10pm. i thought fo sho you guys would be done.

[kung fu jesus]

I left at 12:30.

Sadly, it wasn't.


Woolery - Your Mum congratulates you on another successful tech day. Thanks! ;]

Somehow i knew you guys were still there.
i saw dave and the guys at about 10am. over 13 hours of gearheading. you guys are awesome

[BMS 4EVER]

no worries, David. I was surprised how time slipped away after the sun went down.

I might. Where are you located?

So it seems the 5 hours of hell was actually worth it. Car feels AMAZING with the mazdacomps and getting all the gunk off my air filter noticeably smoothed my idle out.

Big thanks to Steve and Rob for gettin' all dirty under the car and showing me what to do. And Jon for bitching a lot. :teehee:

Also Steve my headlights turned out perfect. You can't even tell the right one is slightly higher when driving. I'll try to remember to bring the rods to the next SOCM so we can finally get those squared away.

it occurred to me driving home that your lowbeams are perfect now, and the messed up adjuster is on the passenger highbeam.

No the lowbeams are definitely perfect. I meant the highbeams are actually in good, usable condition now and you can't even tell the right side is higher. Bravo sir.

There is nothing like going from utter frustration working on a car one moment to hysterical laughter the next from some esoteric comment.

Just wanted to say thanks again for the lesson. Put it to good work today helping a friend swap to the pro-kit springs. For a change, I knew what I was doing!!

Thanks to Steve for putting up with my endless slew of questions and all the help you provided with the exhaust and spring install. Thanks to Darryl, Gus, emmi, jonb, and ryokurob for helping me out when I needed a strong arm and some input. There was someone else that was helping me too, but I didn't get his name. The one that left his tools.. Pedro? :p an extra huge thank you for rob for going home and getting me oem front struts when one of mine got cross threaded -.- I owe you one man. Tech day just proves to me that the miata community is unparalleled in the SoCal car scene. I love you guys. White power!



This made me run out to my car to check if my tools where there, lol.
