Omnomnom....

Seeing how long I can hold out for donor struts. Gr N's on the way too.

I looked at the writeup thread on nassyhock, but is there any method you all have used to save a giant explosion of gas & oil when I drill? Inevitable?

Hey Dylan, i think in the thread above (click on the nasioc link), some guy named alex that sells them listed a method that avoids the messiness. Oh, and make sure you lock tite the bolts!
I'll see if i can find the post.

Upside down held lightly in a vice with the piston pulled all the way out should leave gas at the top, not fluid, but don't hold me to that.

Yeah, someone reportedly used the top from a CD spindle as a hat on top of the upside down strut. Just drilled through the plastic first, then into the strut and then the crap spews into the hat and deflects to the ground.

Its gonna be a while until I install I think. Moving back to Truckee has me hemorrhaging money and I desperately want to try to get an autox day in on my stock setup first.

Yeah, that would be cool if you can find it. I'll probably doing the drilling at someone elses place, so I'd like to have a 'clean' method lined out. Dude, I'm officially back in Truckee on 5/1, up in TD. Lets go break the T-Club sometime.
