Work Weekend Invite
Ok, this is going to seem at little different to some but here we go. I am wanting to take a weekend(2-3 day) and do several mode to get them out of the way; ie. Hutch, harpoon, ccv, turbo back exhaust, intake, dp tuner, guages ect. I am fairly mechanical and am able to do them but on my own it would take a month of Sundays and retracing previous steps since many mods are connected. So any way my thought is that maybe one of the more elder user that are always the ones helping answer all our questions might like a paid vacation to come help me do it right and in a decent time frame. Let me know if I sound nuts, but I am pretty far from anyone on the forum and don't trust anyone around here to help me get I done right. Let me know what you think.

Eagle Point is 360 miles from Alamo. Just how fast do you drive without a permit and just how fast are you going to drive with one.

With my invaluable experience it took me 4 days, six hours a day, to do a turbo upgrade. You probably don't need me saving you time.
