    Yup, we're wide open folks! Dan is back in effect with a turbo swap clinic, nice pick for a last clinic!

    I'll be bringing some dogs and burgers to grill. If you feel like bringing something, sweet.

    I will be there, but I already did my turbo swap, so I'll just be there to help out if anyone needs it.

    Trying to work out some plans with Sheen to have my car detailed at the event!

    I can bring some chips and soda. I'll grab a couple of bags and a couple of 12vers.

    If we have an install that does not require a lift, are we allowed to do it in an open stall (if available), or in the parking lot? Or do you have to pay to do any work?

    My brother has an inlet pipe sitting around that he has yet to put on. Just wondering.

    They have an open stall. I didn't ask them about people wanting to work on cars in the parking lot. I'd say they're probably not going to have an issue with it based on seeing it done before, but I wouldn't count on it.

    I'll be there. If I plan on doing a parking lot install, should I bring my own tools?

    Nice pics! Big thanks to Pete for putting this together as quickly as he did and a HUGE thanks to FirstGear Garage!! That place, as you can see in the pictures, is frickin' amazing! Have you ever been to cars and coffee and thought to yourself, "Man i wish that i could rent out a garage space like this!" NOW WE CAN, by the hour.;)

    Again, big thanks guys and thanks for the use of the beautiful tools/facilities today!

    Big thanks to Dan for getting my turbo and inlet in. Thanks for one last job before your off to Florida and the new job. Car is running good and pulling strong. I had a great time and first gear was great to work with. Thanks again to Dan and all the guys that helped out.

    I'm glad I got a chance to stop by even though I couldn't stay. First Gear looked awesome, I'd love to have a place like that here in Fargo.

    Looks like it was sweet, bummer I missed it. I was down trying to get my car done. Fabbing the exhaust would have been a lot easier with a lift lol.
