Ok here is the list of who will/might be there. Looks like most will just be doing a retension or inspection so we will have plenty of time for others to do a full belt job. Anyone else coming out?

Sure, we should have plenty of willing hands. Bettter order your parts soon if you don't have them. Vertex had the best prices of the places I looked.

Can you guys let me know whether you need to replace belts or just tension/inspect and also when you plan to arrive so we can try to organize the shuffle of cars in the garage?

thanks

Thanks alot!, I ordered the parts today so I should get them next week, I will show up around 10 am but I'm free all day so any time is good for me. Also does anyone attending have any use for some stock S2 sway bars or front springs? I'll donate them to whoever needs them in appreciation for your help.
Thanks again

I'd be glad to help him out, S2s are the easiest to do belts on. Actually - I've never seen a 968 belt job, I hear those are even easier.

Ok, I'll bring the sways and springs then. Glad to hear doing the belts isn't too difficult, what about changing the rollers?
Thanks

Well, it depends on when they were last done. Most people just change them at the same time as the belts. It's best to just get the rollers also so when you have it all apart and realize you need to replace the rollers, you already have them right there. You can alway opt to not change them and save the parts for next time.

It's one of those things that costs you a bit more up front but ends up saving time and hassle in the long run.

I wish I could make it but with 2 cars needings belts and limited time I'm doomed to the home garage scene. Have a good time and may the Gods of Tension be with you.
