We had a small tech session at a members home today. Mods included replacing rear shocks and RSMs as well as a full H&R spring/ Koni shock upgrade. We also had some other maint going on such a swap from a 4 to a 3 spoke wheel. Great day, I was there for wrenching and tech know how. I managed to bust my eyelid open (no pain, no gain)

TC Kline came by with a member and chatted with us.

Rgal stopped by and took photos and did some work on the red rocket too(you can see her head poking out of the car in the far stall)

1. That's a pretty nice looking home you guys got to gather at.
2. Why are you doing all the work in the pics?

I'm doing most of the work because I'm the most experienced one in the group, most of the guys hadn't done that level of work. We were going to replace RTABs too but ran out of time.

:lol:

You gotta start training other people that come to these sessions to do their own work too. Now at SCTechSessions I do mostly supervising, and some work on my own car. :thumbup:

As per the SCTS sessions, if there has not been any damage (to a human or a car) or you don't end up with more parts and/or less tools than you started with, it hasn't been a successful session :lol: .

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun in spite of the weather!

Would these bushings be the RTABs? If so, I need some pointers. I may try to tackle this in a few weeks.
