I don't see anything that we are doing to be overly complicated. The RJM clutch will take the longest. We can even just snap the demon bolts off since Madwi has spares on hand. Intakes are easy. Exhaust is relatively easy. Side blades are just a matter of how OCD Madwi feels. Same with the diffuser. This is more about having a fun weekend trip and finally meeting some damn forum members.

Now, I'm worry. Make that a 8ft section of pipe. And a 3/4 drive breaker bar.

Remember to remove the O2 sensors first thing before doing ANY work on the exhaust. ;)

I plan to get started early Sat morning.

Me and you: hfc's first, exhaust, intakes. In that order.

Madwi: Diffuser, side blades, randoms tuff

girlfriend: Madwi helps her with the clutch pedal and let her do vinyl wrappings for the b-pillars.



I'll confirm with him if anything else is needed and order stuff. I'd rather order the stuff and be safe instead of being screwed the morning of.

I should be able to knock out the side blades and diffuser while you all are sleeping. This should open up Saturday to focusing on the intakes/exhaust/rjm pedal. When are you guys departing for home?

Ok. I spoke it over with the GF. We will leave after work on Thursday. If I make the 10 hour drive straight, great. If not, i'll call it a night and get to your place by noon on Friday. That would give us most of the day Friday and all of Saturday to wrench. Can get breakfast Sunday and we will head back home.

Girlfriend doesn't have a passport. I wish we could cut through Canada. From my house to tour house has Google at 10 and a half hours. I just stick cruise control on at 70 and call it a day. I'm in no rush to save an hour.

Idk about doing 80 in Michigan. 1 pothole and it's game over.

Have extra extensions in case you snap one.

Call direct and ask for better rates. Dont call the reservation line but the hotel itself. Works best if you get the night auditor. :tup:
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Grand Rapids-North
Hampton Inn Grand Rapids-North
This one is closer to the house but is "budget" lol:
Swan Inn Motel & Restaurant

nice place owned by DeVos:
Amway Grand Plaza Hotel

Good suggestions, and I think I stayed at that Swan Motel once. At the time they offered a “Romance Package” which consisted of two warm Budweisers and a fair sized knothole into the Honeymoon which was right next door.. :shakes head:

That sounds about right for that place but is was a budget option.
