cjkim 11-27-2008, 01:11 AM have you checked the DIY? it's a really straightforward install, no different from any other spring install.
Even if it's your first time, it's not very difficult. The DIY is VERY extensive and easy to follow.
ShinkaTeen 11-27-2008, 01:14 AM yeah i saw it, looked at it.
thought "if i do this alone bad things could happened".
but ill probably end up doing it on my own, i just wanted to see if anyone wanted to help a 1st timer.
volcomx31 11-27-2008, 01:57 AM dude..go to JRX Rotary in Azusa..500$ = rip off

Atilla 12-10-2008, 02:54 PM I just remembered why my saturday was probably gonna be busy - i forgot that's when the K1 meet was supposed to be...
Jedi54 12-10-2008, 05:20 PM springs in the morning, K1 at night!
Awesome!! Paris is gonna be too tired and then I'm really gonna kick your ass... :D:
Atilla 12-10-2008, 05:46 PM I'm gonna throw a rented spring compressor at your cart damn it!! :rant:
shadycrew31 12-10-2008, 05:50 PM you don't need an air compressor I did it with hand tools, be a man! its like a 2 hour job at the most with hand tools.. lots of funnn!!!!! I'm doing my RB end links AFE Shifter and midpipe this weekend. well I might do the shifter tonight I hear great things.
Good luck kido's.
dozer 12-10-2008, 05:52 PM my dad has a shit load of tools, we got like 5 different impacts....^i did my midpipe 2 weeks ago, remember to remove the NUTS not the BOLT, i was stuck on that for quite a while
Jedi54 12-10-2008, 06:06 PM air compressor isn't necessary but I'm all about working smart, not working hard. You'll love the short shifter, great mod! :)
dozer 12-10-2008, 06:08 PM work smarter not harder, my dad always told me that growing up...if you got the tools use em makes the job that much easier
Jedi54 12-10-2008, 06:12 PM I can't say enough about how having the proper tools makes the job SO much easier.
Dozer: going carting with us next Saturday?
dozer 12-10-2008, 06:18 PM Im REALLY thinkin about, i got a friend that lives like 2 minutes away from there, and she really wants me to go out there to see her... i gotta see what happens
Jedi54 12-10-2008, 06:25 PM you animal, you!!! :naughty:
dozer 12-10-2008, 06:29 PM ;) :)
Atilla 12-10-2008, 06:39 PM ^I'M TELLING!!! :lol:
seriously though - you can do it without the compressor (like when i did the spring swap on my car) but as i recall the only fun part about that...was accidently letting the nut on top of the strut shoot off and almost tear through my friends'(Renesis SE3P, John) jacket :lol:
Atilla 12-10-2008, 06:41 PM Im REALLY thinkin about, i got a friend that lives like 2 minutes away from there, and she really wants me to go out there to see her... i gotta see what happens
Dozer: Don't be freakin' ghey...go sign up damn it...DO IT!! DU-ET NAO!!

FastRX8 12-11-2008, 04:32 PM This thread is entertaining. Let's keep it that way, and no one die changing the springs please.
BTW - The DIY needs updating. All the pictures were linked to another site, and they are gone. Maybe you guys can take pics of the process to help out the DIY.
http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=23403
I changed one rear strut by myself w/ the DIY, and it took about 20mins.
So I don't think it shouldn't take hours. Especially w/ extra help.
You may want to try getting 2 sets of compressors if you plan to have several people helping.
I have one suggestion;
There are different types of spring compressors.
The safer they are, the better chance of not dying.
Here is an example of cheaper/less safe compressors
Notice one end has a safety pin, but the other end does not.
The safety pin is so the compressor doesn't accidentally slip off and send a spring into your brain.
http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/sy/sykes-pickavant-coil-spring-compressor-screw.jpg
This is a better option. I bought a set of these at Autozone, so hopefully, they are the same ones you get to rent.
Notice the safety pins on both ends.
http://www.noahlh.com/car/coilover_howto/img/21.jpg
Make sure you pre-load the driver's side only, that way he can have a NASCAR prepared RX8.
dozer 12-11-2008, 04:36 PM yeah we use the ones in the second pic...
Jedi54 12-11-2008, 04:37 PM ^^^^ those are the kind Tim and i used when we did our suspension install.
+1 for being safe: if one of those springs comes loose while you're compressing it, it could kill you. Dead. As in....forever.
ShinkaTeen 12-11-2008, 04:38 PM 22" psh ill just not have fenders and go to 30".
its ok jedi if you go to the darkside, you can learn to bring people back.
dozer 12-11-2008, 04:39 PM need i remind you guys, we did this 3 times...
Atilla 12-11-2008, 04:44 PM need i remind you guys i've done this in the dark with no spring compressor...with some asian guy named john who was blowing his cigarette smoke in my face...in 40 degree weather...
Jedi54 12-11-2008, 04:44 PM its ok jedi if you go to the darkside, you can learn to bring people back.

.............and i'm also going to assume you're going to introduce her to us as well...:yesnod:
dozer 12-18-2008, 03:01 PM ^dude you dont need to treat everyone...most likely all of are gonna pitch in on pizza and shit....

shadycrew31 12-18-2008, 03:11 PM ^dude you dont need to treat everyone...most likely all of are gonna pitch in on pizza and shit....
one concern though, BEER!
a case of new castle compliments of me should do.. I got $5 in for pizza as well.

12 pack of Corona it is. Someone buy the limes.
ShinkaTeen 12-18-2008, 03:45 PM ill buy the limes...
ummm when i buy limes for bees.. are they regular... lemon.s... or do they come pre - sliced?
WTF I DONT KNOW!
Jedi54 12-18-2008, 03:47 PM what the house drinks the house gets, its common courtesy..

:lol: jk - anyways, yeah man...
limes = green - lemon's = fail

shadycrew31 12-18-2008, 03:50 PM ill buy the limes...
ummm when i buy limes for bees.. are they regular... lemon.s... or do they come pre - sliced?
WTF I DONT KNOW!
you buy like 2 regular sized limes, we cut them into wedges, then we put them in the brews and yum happens.
tell your boss there's going to be a bunch of young studs who don't spend wisely.. should peak her interest.
Atilla 12-18-2008, 03:52 PM AHEM, dozers 22yrs, Js 22yr, atillas 24yrs, shadys ??yrs old
24 YeARS OLD DAMN IT!! :rant:
Jedi54 12-18-2008, 03:53 PM limes = green. Squeeze them just a tad. IF they're hard as a rock, don't buy them.
Slicing them is quite easy, juts hand a knife to the Mexican guy. If he can't slice limes to fit in a beer bottle, then it means they're not really Mexican and should be deported to canada.
