The order starts with where the crank pulley is located. So for the newer engines (ex. L-Series/K-Series), it's 1-2-3-4. For the B-Series, it's 4-3-2-1.

Here is the address for Uvas Reservoir:
14200 Uvas Rd.
Morgan Hill, CA 95037
This is the spot I posted pictures of. It's off of a nice windy road, about a 20 minute drive from the 101 exit. There is a big parking lot off of the 101 exit. We could meet at that lot and then cruise together to this spot.
There is also a few good spots for pictures we could go to that are not far. Here is another lot to take pictures, this one is off of the windy road on the way to the meet spot:
The bridge is also an option for pictures, it is on the other side of the freeway, but not a far drive at all.
And here is a couple pictures of the lot at Uvas Reservoir...
Please reply if you would come to a meet here.

Thats the best part about the meets is it gets the creative juices flowing and we all come away with new friends, stories and ideas for our cars about how we want to make it our own. Cars can be an art form if you do what you like and not what you think others will like. we are all artists in a way

So Does anyone know of a tuner shop or a Honda Mechanic in the san jose/south bay area that works on Cars like we do? Not just your general mechanic but someone that specializes in the kind of stuff we all do to our cars, lowering, engine mods, suspension, exhaust.
I Just need help with the lowering spring installation. The rear bolts that hold the struts are totally stuck. I dont know if any of my local tire shops will loosen up that for me just because it's kinda a weird request.
Or if any of you bay area FF'ers are free tomorrow (monday) does anyone wanna help me install my springs for Lunch and a case of beer or soda if you dont drink? anyone within a 45 minute drive of san jose would be perfect.

You might be able to find a shop with a lift that can just break those bolts loose. With it up on a lift those bolts should only take a few minutes to crack loose with a big enough breaker bar. I know it can be hard under your car with hand tools. I would call a few shops or stop by a couple and see if they can do it for a half hour of labor. If you get them to do it maybe have them crack the fronts loose too so the rest of the job will go quick. Good luck!

auto innovations should be able to help you out, Auto Innovations, LLC
I didn't ask how much to break loose the bolts cuz i was able to get it done for 35 at skips goodyear. so I did do the springs today but will probably go to auto innovations after my springs settle and its time to do the alignment.
Thanks for looking out.

So lets look into Feb 19/20th sat or sun. If the laguna seca thing happens at the end of feb it will probably be the 26/27th i think so if we wanna look at setting a date for a pretty small meet in morgan hill at one of those lakes off the 101 I think that's when it should be, but I'm not saying it has to be on that day or at that spot just suggesting so if everyone is cool with that then we can start to plan out some details on what we wanna do and who brings what. ya know I like bbq'ing
