GTA mini DIY mod and maintenance meet

****Update: Mini meet set for Sat May 8th from morning till late afternoon

If you are interested in coming send me a PM for the location



With G season coming up I thought that we could have a local mini mod/maintenance meet for Canadian members in the GTA in the first week of May at my place in Richmond Hill.

My driveway isn’t huge, it’s about 4 cars long and 2 cars wide, but it’s pretty much completely flat and we can easily work on 3-4 cars at a time. Plus there is regular street parking on my street

I was thinking we could spend the day tackling smaller mods and regular maintenance jobs like spark plugs, oil changes, differential flushes, changing shocks and springs....ect. If Blain and Geerider show up we can then also do a set of headlight painting and fender rolling. I have pretty much all the tools we need for most jobs but I would appreciate if some people could bring some extra jacks & stands and an inch/lbs torque wrench, and any other tool you think you can bring

I also live walking distance from the Metro and Walmart and a 2 min drive from LCBO so we can have a lil BBQ in the front yard if the weather is good

Let me know what you guys/gals think

thats true, but because i've been moving, all of them are in a container somewhere... so I can't exactly get them on hand lol.

I have a hid kit, rear sway bar, springs to install, spark plugs to change, and maybe oil

I might have ONE fully polished plenum and throttle body that I will swap for your stock one plus cash.

We'll see though.

Godzilla, I'll see what I can do.
