Big RS ej22t swap near Boston: Help wanted! HUGE learning experience: couches offered

Hitokiri · 06-28-2004, 09:05 AM

See my thread HERE

Cliff notes:

engine swap: 2.2t hybrid motor bieng transplanted to 00RS from 02RS. 251 from 00RS being installed in 02. I have a gimp hand and need more help than I normally would, so I am coming to you all.

ANYONE! I don't care how experienced or inexperieced. If you can remember "righty tighty, lefty loosy" you will be SOOO helpfull in getting this swap done smootly. My girlfriend may be helping if nobody shows.......... We have two engine lifts and plenty of tools (I removed my engine for turbo install 2 weeks ago if you recall. )

I can offer couches for anyone who wants to crash here due to a long trip. (first come first serve gets a BED! imagine that) Food wil be provided for anyone who helps.

please see other thread for more info and address for determining distance.

Thanks so much and I hope some people can make it. Especially friday afternoon/night / saterday morning / afternoon!

Why can't this kind of turn out ever happen down here? Probably after this whole removal and installation, I will go ahead with my future project of finding a old L and doing a swap or something, but not a daily driver that's for sure. Hope to see everybody out there.

In the MW, we don't invite people out, there are enough of us that can do it in our sleep that we don't want interference.

There are always plenty of people to give a hand, though.

If I was local I'd give a hand, but unless you want to fly me out and put me up, no go.

Hitokiri · 06-28-2004, 05:39 PM

lol

crk4 - definitely come - bring your friend - you can stay here

I don't want to sound like a broken record player but you would be big help.

8 - I'd give you a bed but can't fly you out

-- we can handel it: although you might get a call.. yeah..

Future STIer - keep me posted. Nesic definitely has an awesome group of guys. I look forward to mmeting the rest.
