Hi there,
Well, 2 days till we get this whole tech session underway.
I did get some feedback about different things that you all may want to see, but this is not enough. WE NEED MORE.
For this particular session, we will be doing the following.
Shifter installation, and correct adjustment procedures.
Wheel alignments, and what is involved when you pay about $150 for an alignment.
Header installation, including a little welding, and what to look for in a good quality welding job.
Clutch installation, and critical points on installation on a c5, so that there is no vibration, and sticking slave cylinders.
Differential seals, and what is involved to repair these issues.
If I am forgetting anything, please dont hesitate to suggest anything that you might want to know about.
My thanks to Brian, Eric, JB, EHS, and everyone who has allowed me to serve their c5s. Without you all, this would never be possible.
thanks to all, c4c5 hammersonthecase,withbattlegearon

Paul -- lookig forward to seeing you on Wednesday, when I'll be giving you my "list," and hopefully you'll be giving me my ticket for the appointment.

BTW, I'm bringing a business proposition that you may find very much of interest (it includes Brian). But we'll talk.

See you at 7:00 p.m. Check e-mail for details.

I feel like a little kid filled with excitement. I can't wait! This trip is going to be very fun.

Yeah, I am already warming up my coffee maker.
Now, lets see, 2 clutches, 2 header installs, 2 balance and alignments.
If I start on Thursday at 7am, I should be done by, um, 2003?????
Only kiddin, see you all at 7.
Greenwich, huh??
Could be interesting to see how the other half lives.

Whats with the repair marathons? I know I'm missing something here. Probably had my head in the sand..careful what you say Fido. LOL!!!

Sounds like a big cover up for a beer drinking party to me.

Let me know when you'll be attending.

Howabout a decarbonization procedure?
Or, Proper anto-sway bar adjustment?

Chris

Hi Blue,
good thoughts on the decarb. As for sway bar adjustments, it is an idea.
Just have to have a car with the end links.
Please keep the ideas coming, and if there is a beer drinking party, I guess I am designated driver.

Hey guys! Sounds like a lot of fun AND work! How about injector replacement? Shouldn't be a "major" task since it's "top end"...... and I think I've read some threads about folks wanting to do it on some of the earlier C5s....

I hope the weather is nice for the "wrench" party and thanks for all the hard work (in advance)!

Wish I lived closer that sounds like fun!

Hi there,
UPdate, well first day is down, and the clutch is in the Magnetic. Although the driveline is still down, as I am proceeding with the header install.
Brake fluid, transmission fluid, slave, master, and diff fluid all have been changed.
Well, tomorrow, I will be finishing the install of the headers, and aligning the vehicle, so I can start on Brians car.
Saturday, for those who are coming down, will start around 12, so no hurry, and yes, JB, bring your son.
Besttoall, c4c5 hammersbaggingitout.

I'll be there -- need to weld a trailer hitch to the car tomorrow though so I can tow JB -- right now he's refusing to drive!

"Com' on Shelley!"

c4c5! you are just TOO fast.

That Brazilian coffee must got you goin! Can't wait to make it back down there on Sat!

Now for the ULTIMATE question, how do you exit the dealership without scraping!!!! :p

Keep us up with the updates!

LOL>..you guys keep it up and I'll get my little fella max to come with me to really fix up your cars but good..(j/k)

I'm sure it will be a great time so take lots of photos. I look foward to seeing them.

I'd love to go but I don't think its in the cards for me this weekend.

I truly had a great time hanging out with you guys last night.
