ZHPMafia Family Reunion 2013 - Williamsburg, VA - Maintenance Thread

[johnrando]

Lots of great work yesterday, big thanks to our new forum mod Rando for helping me perfect my roller. As JayJay said, you're really skilled with a hairdryer, which is ironic given a look at your, um, hair... I haven't driven my known "rubbing" corners, but as soon as I take the car out, I will hit them at speed and confirm I know have the clearance...

Glad I was able to help a bunch of others as well. Not quite sure how I became the lighting guru, but I really enjoy it. I took home some spare parts to start working on other lighting mods. Will be working on an FXR setup for Tony. And speaking of, glad you made it home guys and the fuel pump wasn't too much trouble.

Kpro- Holy crap, two greatest pet names, ever! Sucks they won't get to commiserate with your current crew, but still funny watching you guys capture and rehab them yesterday!

Man I miss all you guys already!

I gots skillz. Let us know about the tires. +1 on Kris' new friends.

Tony, thats crap luck


Dane, your yard pets which I've named Wilson and Croaker are doing great and made it to my work today. I think that I'm going to give them to one of our technicians two little boys. I've found after lots of internet research last night they won't share the same habitat with the yard pets I collected in Florida. Good news is, these 5-lined skinks are native to New Jersey as well so worst case I can let them free in the golf course.

Nice Kristen. Glad you're enjoying them

What a productive maintenance day! Thank you so much to everyone that helped out. (will go into further detail in the thanks thread) Major props to Dane, Tony, Chad, and all of the other people who lent tools to everyone. I know that I would not have been able to finish without you guys. I learned a ton. Hope to pass on whatever I can next year.

Crappy timing, Tony. How many miles on her?

I'm at about 115k now. So yeah a check list for everyone who has not done the fuel pump should probably do it before a long road trip. Overall pretty happy that I finally removed it and installed it to get back on the road again. Took about 20 minutes to replace. Total time for towing and everything is about 2-3 hours if you are stuck.

I suppose I need to look into a fuel pump. I rolled 130K on the way home from the meet...

Just wanted to say that a lot of good things happened on Sunday when a lot of people had worked on their cars. Lots of fenders were rolled, some coding was performed by BP and Tony (thanks guys!!!), Cam with his brake job....lots of help given to him there (awesome Mafia members!!!), Joop lending a hand with lighting issues (we're all glad to have you with us Joop!!!), Kyle replacing his engine wiring harness (this guy has some skills with stereo installs as well ), Chad incorporating TPMS wiring so he now has a fully functional TPMS retrofit (Chad....I'm very interested in doing this to my ZHP!!!), then there was I donating my "spare" LCM to Dane so he can have one-touch triple blink in his awesome ZHP I also discussed to a few what to look for when purchasing a replacement LCM and what was involved to reprogram them with BP's help.

I'm sure there were more being done and if I forgot to mention them please feel free to add. All in all there was a lot accomplished on this day. Again, many thanks to Dane for allowing us to do this before heading home from the meet. I myself, won't be making the trip home until very early on Friday morning after completing my business trip here in Manassas, Va. so for me the reunion trip is not quite over until I park my ///M in the garage at home.
