ya, if you need help, got a garage, i got the spring compressors, tools and jack w/ jacks stands.!! we just need to setup a weekend, and ill do the deed!! If you aint got a garage, we can get your can on base i imagine, and we can do it in my garage.

cool ya ive never done an install before hah ive just watched =(
do you think the spings compressors will be able to fit the hotchkis springs? some people were saying that the hotchkis coils were too tight.. but then some people say theyve done it hah

i dont see how they coundnt fit?? as in to tight you mean the coil is to mall or they are tight to compress?? i might hace to see the size if thats the case.

tight as in the coils are pretty close.. ill go take a picture real quick and post it up

sweet!!

these are the spring comps i use, after looking at them, i think that theyll work.

alright heres a pic of them..
i also read that some people used the jack to compress it against the car..but thats not very safe haha

dont hate on the flower bed sheets lol

looks like the compressors i got will barely fit!!

hmm so was it a no go?or a good to go? =)

right now im reading a DIY on it, the fronnt is a go!!, im reading the rear right now. ill let you know in a few!!

hah ya the rears are the PITA
according to everyone =)

the rear looks pretty easy, a little more to it, but simple enough. the compressors look like they will work, and if not , sometimes you can compress them by hand and a 2nd person puts on the bolt that keeps the spring locked.

ya..i read the diys and it LOOKS easy but i just dont have the tools for it haha
but ya man anytime your free..itd be cool to get these on.
cuz the other guy i would be going to has a bunch of projects going on including an engine rebuild =)

im free on weekends, i work monday through friday, 3pm til....

So I Flew to Seattle on Thursday and drove up my new xB and I just got here on monday night. The trip was beautiful and the road sucked. I need a new windshield and i have four fairly noticeable chips even though i taped it up. It was pretty funny going through Canada because they don't sell scions and mine was all taped up every one thought it was a test car for toyota and they wanted to know if it was going to be coming out soon. But heres the pictures. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb98/nameless_ak/104_1669.jpg

wow nice spam.

If anyone is interested in Alaska scion club, message me.

I don't know what happened, it is all very confusing. But I have been too busy camping to go to meets... and... am actually trying to sell my car :(

i saw it sitting on the lot, if i had money, id scoop it up...but were moving to cali..and broke.

Well hopefully someone will come along with money because I am super broke too!! Tell someone with money about how awesome the car is ;)
Good luck with the move. Where in CA will you be?

i gots a freind that wants a tC, but he dosnt want a white one..im trying though, lol.

Tell him it better than white because it is Blizzard Pearl White + black & carbon fiber!

I know I want a lot for it, but everything on it is top quality and the price is negotiable. :)

Beale AFB looks like it is in a cool location! Near Tahoe and Reno, but you can take a trip over to the coast too.
