I hope that smiley isn't referring to me... :nono:

LMAO... you guys are great.

If I get my screen finished this week, I'll be in. Hopefully I'll get everything fiberglassed tonight, cleaned up tomorrow and painted on wednesday.

I may not have my 8 on thursday.
Something is still whacky with the transmission. I have a feeling that when they had the wrong gear oil in there, I damaged my 4th gear synchro (1 of the 2). If I try to shift into 4th at high RPM (say 6000+) I often get a grind before going into gear.
So I have an appointment first thing in the AM on thursday to get it looked at and I'm willing to bet that gear oil caused this issue because it started when they had the wrong oil in there.

Not a good thing..

I'll still be at the meet either way.

I hope that smiley isn't referring to me... :nono:Actually it was just in reference to the name of the restaurant we go too. Even after so many years of gong there.... its still funny.

Man, I feel your pain. Be very careful when they say "Here, drive this for a week or so and let us know if it hasn't changed". That week or so was when mine went out and they refused to fix it.

That week or so was when mine went out and they refused to fix it.We'll see. If I have to rebuild the tranny myself, I'll do it, but at the moment, I have proper documentation saying the wrong gear oil was used and if I have to, I can take that to MNAO.

Good luck. Keep me posted and let me know if you need anything. After my 3 1/2 month battle I have a few connections now.

Got to work from 6 - 10 that day. Can't make it. But future meets are looking more promising :D:

What finally happenned?
I found a few inside sources at Mazda that got me to the local rep. MNAO really isn't any help. They helped me with a car payment after the first month it was in the shop, then just said "sorry, it's over our heads". Then the dealership says it's over their heads, and you can't talk to the people making the decision.

not going to be there. Boss working me like a slave driver

i cant make it either... i was supposed to be off but since i hurt my shoulder my manager got the bright idea to have me as the door girl all weekend!(thurs-saturday) im pissed!

It is my birthday, but i'm leaving for VA tonight, so I won't be able to make it. It sucks that the client wants me there for Thursday morning and Friday instead of next week like it was supposed to be. Travelling on your birthday blows.

So is anybody going to be there??

So is anybody going to be there??It looks like not unless you go.. and i go.. then there'll be you and me there.. otherwise nobody is there..

looks like no one is goin.. so we'll try again in 2 weeks.

I could make it (if that counts for anything...).

I could make it (if that counts for anything...).Tiff is going out of town now too so I think we're best off just waiting a few weeks.

Actually, I've decided to stay in town (at least until my sister yells at me). I've got so much to do this weekend, it's not even funny. I'm also going to the gym after work since I'm feeling better, but I'll be all sweaty... if you guys really want to meet up, I'll head out that way afterwards, but it'll be about 8pm instead of 7:30.

I finished my dash piece. I'm heading home in about an hour to put it in. I'd be willing to go if someone else is going to be there.

Hrmm.. Well I get my car back today.
They said it's actually not the synchros but one of the collars that is causing the problems. They're replacing that as well as the shift forks next week. They said I should just be careful with 4th until then.

You guys are so last minute :b


I'll let you know in a few if I'm going. I was trying to make plans but maybe now I don't need to.

LOL, count me out again. I've got way too much going on tonight, sorry.

Damn! Yeah, I'm out too, now. Work decided to have it's way with me... it hurts.

Tell me about it. I feel like I've been sodomized all week long. :(

Well, I guess that sums it up... I guess I'll settle for Shiner. It's been too tough of a week to not drink tonight.

Tell me about it. I feel like I've been sodomized all week long. :( :SHOCKED:

Hey all...it was great to see you all last night!! :rolleyes: Jackie and I actually went to BJ's expecting to see everybody. I guess we should have checked the thread before leaving the house! Anyway. See you all soon.

Damn... the only reason I didn't go is because it sounded like everyone else had plans. Sorry Danny... Oh well, I guess there's next time.

No, I meant that night. The first comment was directed at Jenkins and the second was at you, referring to Thursday (tonight). Geez Sam, can't you read my mind?

Hopefully the new tire will be in on monday.

Just an update on the clutch and flywheel, i just filled up the tank for the first time and even driving like a total moron, i'm getting 20mpg.. I figured the flywheel would hurt my mileage since I'm revving it up higher but it looks like the fact that it takes less power to rev it up overcomes the use of extra revs.

Hey guys. Wanted to introduce myself as a new owner in the area. I've had my baby for about a month and a half now and lovin it.

Will yall be meeting again this Thursday, and if so, what time do yall usually?

I'm pretty sure we will. Ajax will probably start a new thread early this week.
Oh, and welcome to the forum
