I'll bring the caliber compressor for the brakes, and a breaker bar.

Is anyone planning on doing a coolant flush, diff. flush, or tranny flush? If so I can bring a fluid pump.

Kream: You will need to rent a spring compressor from VatoZone.

Well I might get my brake pads replaced while the tools are available =].

Anybody that is getting electrical work done, I have everything I need (taps, solder, wire cutters, zipties, heatshrink, although I am a bit short on wire, but I can always make a run to get more.

In our area there is an advanced autoparts, pepboys, autozone within 5 miles of Dimeo's house just in case someone forgets something.

We'll see how many peeps show up. We'll take a head count at 11am figure out how many pizzas we need from Costco and call it in. If everyone is okay with that we can all pitch in.

I think the pizza idea it sounds convenient but what about breakfast?

Does anyone want to met up for some quick breakfast before the event? maybe like a taco shack or something close to that. Whats close to your house? I know you are located near Oak Knoll and 183, but I'm not too familiar with places to eat around there.

since I'm going to be replacing my brake pads what do you guys suggest I get, I want something a little better than OEM with as little brake dust as possible.

I'll also bring an old blanket so that we can use as a mat to lay on if someone needs it. I'll also bring all my tools...nothing fancy just common tools.

in our area there is a rudys, ihop, taco shack, krispy kreme, taco cabana, kirby lane (the wait would be insane there)

I'll be getting some metallic pads, I can stand the dust if they last longer than ceramics
