Awesome - new folks, old folks, lots to do.
I had to take the duaghter back to Mizzou Sunday - checked the mileage on the S - and discovered the oil change was due. So scratch me off for possible the oil change Saturday.
FYI - the drive Sunday WAS WINDY!!!!!!

Brake and/or clutch bleed notes: The fluid can damage your paint.
Bring some rags to wrap around the reservoir; 2 hand towels or a small bath towel. One liter is enough for a complete flush & fill.
I would like to try an extra step on the clutch fluid. The slave cylinder holds fluid and is difficult to flush. I would guess the fluid is not completely replaced, but mixed. While this may be normal, we may be able to improve on the process.

Don't forget about me. Oil change please.
Thanks in advance for the oil filter Mike. I'll bring some $$$.
Also, I ordered a new Dry Flow Air Filter from AEM. If it arrives in time, I'd like to slap that on real quick.

Hey are any of you local S2Ki guys good, like REALLY good, at detailing? My car was unfortunately owned previously by someone who dried their car with bath towells... there's tons of swirl marks ALL over the car... I really need to polish the paint and seal it... any advice, recommendations, or access to one of those porter cable 7424s (?) would be awesome.

You will be amazed at what 8ball and deepblue will do to your car
Porter cables are always around at these events.
Most of us use menzerna prodcts.
