DIY Mechanics shop in Northern VA

nlink720 · 12-02-2010, 11:07 PM

My Z4 buddy who lives down here just showed me this: http://www.ditymechanics.com/

Freaking cool as hell for people who are like us who want to DIY, but need a good location.

He is gonna do RTABs and Front CAB's as well -- I want to do the RTAB, replace my diff fluid, and install rear camber arms to better adjust rear camber.

You could knock out your suspension there in a breeze.

[This was a PM -- so I thought -- well I guess everyone knows what I'm gonna do later this year.]

I'm planning a "S54 valve adjustment and general fix-it" day there Saturday, December 18th around 8 am. The bays are first come first serve, and you're responsible for all fees.

I'll have a valve adjustment kit, tools and instructions.

Man, if I were a little closer to you, I'd go just to watch you do the valve adjustment and see if you needed any help.

My valves need to be done sometime next year probably, and I need to see someone do it...

Wildag,

Which facility will you be doing your valve adjustment in? I'd like to observe and help if I could.

Thanks,
David
