3-day Pre-Install Party update!:
Tips and basic ground rules:
Hopefully this will be fun and productive for everyone. If everything works out, we can plan another Fix-it day. Brake Bleed & Fuel Filter Day anyone??? :biggrin:
---------------------------------------------------
Based on the response from this thread I will be hosting a shop day at my place or as SFDreamer calls it, an "install party". Everyone is welcome. Although, I don't think we'll have Patty's lemon bars because I think her windows work just fine
When: Aug 14, Saturday, 10am
Where: PM me for the address once closer to date. Culver City, CA..west of the 405 fwy.
EDIT: This is a public forum so i'm requesting some discretion as to disclosing where I live. I trust all the socal primers but I don't trust the internet. Be mindful about pictures, blogs, txt msgs, etc that may reveal the location of the Bat Cave.
It appears the list of attendees are being tracked in here (scroll to the last page). So you can either reply here or subscribe to that list. We have at least 3-5 NSXs coming as of today so that alone should be worthwhile for Hugo. Parking is good so the location can accommodate more cars. However, it looks like only 3-4 cars can be worked on at the same time unless you want to work on the street which is plenty wide as well.
The Socal NSX community is big so if you folks closer in OC or SD want to coordinate an event for the same wknd then i'd recommend chatting with Hugo to arrange a date that works for him otherwise you're more than welcome to come by.
Big thanks to Hugo for taking time out of his vacation schedule to come help out!!!
BTW... Is anyone open to a drive up the coast after to get lunch in Malibu perhaps? This time with all of our windows down and working!
What tools bring: not mandatory
I have plenty of tools but I mostly have one of each type of tool so if you have access to some basic tools you can bring them. I also have a drill press for those of you who may want to apply the metal sleeve on the motor spindle. Below are suggested tools from members.

Special Request for a Dremel tool! If you got one and are able to bring it.. it would be much appreciated!
Tips and basic ground rules:
- Please watch this video or read this pdf as a refresher for the task ahead. Hugo, Fastrax, or myself are there to help and assist but not do the work for you. Everyone has varying skills with a spanner - I get it. We're there to help each other as much as needed so don't worry. You will be a window fixing maven by the time you're done!
- Let's all remember Hugabuga (Hugo) is on vacation from Europe doing a USA road trip. He's not here to work. Let's be cognizant of this and try to show him a good time like we would any other prime member.
- Kuni came over last night and we think there's a chance to fit 1 car in the garage and 3-4 cars in the driveway (double tandem, 5 cars total). With this in mind there will likely be a shortage of tools. If you can bring some of your own basic tools that would great.
- Tools to me are like diamonds to a woman. Snap-On = DeBeers. You're free to borrow them. All I ask is that they be returned right after. Also, use them appropriately, don't use a rachet where a hammer is better suited --> This goes w/o saying right?
- No shoes in the house please!!!
- There is a food and beverage sign-up list. SFDreamer is coordinating a pizza order for lunch. Unfortunately the backyard is still under construction so it's not quite bbq friendly.
- There will also be clear sidemarker demo units to touch, feel, and drool over from NSXClear. See me (or maybe liftnot) if you want to purchase a set. I don't have any vested interest in selling these but I'm all about helping our friend NSXClear show this to folks interested. 1-day special pricing on these.
Hopefully this will be fun and productive for everyone. If everything works out, we can plan another Fix-it day. Brake Bleed & Fuel Filter Day anyone??? :biggrin:
