If you want, you are always welcome to come by to use it.. got my own place now and a double garage so i've got the space and most tools. I live about 5 mins from Justin in the NW

On another note.. I spotted sirhc a couple days ago.. not sure if he noticed me since i was riding my bike to work.. haven't heard him chime in for some time now..
Ahh, a garage. Now there is a nice thing to have

What kind of impact gun (brand & size of drive) do you have. I had everything torn apart this weekend and my 250ft/lbs gun didn't do the trick. Do you have any time this week during the evening?

Campbell Hausfeld.. but its a 1/2" drive. As for the torque specs, I'm not too sure of them.

I might have a bit of time this week.. but i'm not too sure.. maybe closer to the weekend.. I'm getting things ready for my LA road trip this week..

Sweet, LA sounds like fun. seems like everybody is gone for the long weekend. I am headed down to BC myself first thing on Sat morning

Looks like they have three 1/2" drive types, see if any of these look familiar. 2 of them will probably work, the light duty one may be if-y as it only has about 275ft/lbs of torque. Not a big deal, I can just pick one up at Rona or something if that is the case.

Product - 1/2-inch Impact Wrench - from Campbell Hausfeld
http://www.chpower.com/webapp/wcs/st...1_10676_10715_
Product - Twin Hammer 1/2 inch Impact Wrench - from Campbell Hausfeld

Anyway, let me know if you have time. Greatly appreciated!

I don't have any of the ones you listed.. I have a TL1002 and its rated only at 250 ft lbs, and I have an older CH one that is probably capable of 450ft lbs but its pretty old and I don't know if its still got near as much torque as it used to.

I'll let you know.. maybe thurs at the earliest.

Cool, thanks. Let me know!

I went riding today and saw a ton of Mini Coopers heading out to Bragg Creek. I found the forum web site and checked out what they were up to, some kind of Mini Picnic. I wonder if they bring Mini lunches

They have a pretty aggressive technique for getting more members. I don't know how I feel about it, would suck for people who are getting hit over and over.

We did that for our Protege group...personally I don't think it's a good idea (from past experience!!)

I can do it pretty much any evening this week, I will PM you my cell phone number. Which ever day works for you best I can drive out and meet you close to where you live.

lol, I was just picturing the same owner coming out to the same card under the winshield every time they go out Sounds like they already had one person blow up at them about it.

Like those stupid squeegee homeless people.... I start reving the engine and swearing if they get more than 10 feet near my car No, I am sorry... your dirty crappy squeegee isn't worthy of my car!

On the plus side, I waxed my car this weekend with that nu-finish stuff. Turned out pretty nice

I am probably going to give up on getting this done this week as I am leaving for a road trip on Sat morning. You probably have a lot to do anyway with your trip too.

Do you have time maybe next Wednesday or Thursday evening?

No problem. Sounds like a nice vacation, have fun!

I will have to give that DeWalt electric impact I have been seeing everywhere a try in the meantime.

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to say 'Hello" to all of you 403'ers down the road. I'm one of those 'Middle-Aged' guys with a daughter in her 3rd year at UofC so I have no extra money for rims, tires, or any other performance mods. I have had my Fit since September 2006 (3 month wait) and love every minute I spend in it, while my wife hates it. LOL She prefers her Mazda Tribute.

I'm heading to San Diego tomorrow for a 3-day get-away, and I hope she doesn't get too upset when I try and do a little "Fit Spotting". It's always nice to see what Fit owners are up to in SoCal. It's amazing how mods can transform this vehicle!

Sure are seeing a whole lot more Fits on the road in the past few months, eh?!

Take care.
