Any installs this weekend??
 
Guys,

I know the majority of us couldn't get together last weekend.
How does this weekend look?

I've only got 1 big thing to install and it's going to be an odd request. I need to get HID foglights installed on my 6. Just looking at the amount of space available under the hood makes me cry! :(

I also have to install my ebrake handle on the FD.

Anyone else??

I'd love to come and get my sways put in, but I'm gonna be out of the country.

DarkBrew 06-23-2009 07:32 PM

I have some Hight beam bulbs

Must fix my DRL module

Must get my panic alarm to stop triggering.

I'm willing to host a BBQ on Saturday

prospectjtaz 06-23-2009 08:42 PM

I can do sunday

Neo 06-24-2009 06:43 AM

Alright, so this weekend is doable. That's great!
I'm tired of looking at the HID box on the ground in our room.
So which day? Sat. or Sun? I'm good either way.

DarkBrew 06-24-2009 07:13 AM

I'm good either way as well.

Sunday.. I'll be there... where ever there is. Need to rotate my tires... anyone got a torque wrench?!

prospectjtaz 06-24-2009 09:36 AM

LOL, i had one in my car yesterday.

Neo 06-24-2009 10:17 AM

I've got one, but I don't know if it works.

Looks like Sun is giong to be the day. Hopefully it won't rain too hard. ;)

Location? Thunders? Or somewhere else?

scotts got a really nice torque wrench. Maybe he could bring it with him or if he's hosting again, then its covered.

chris, HID fogs on a mazda6 seems imposible IMO. We are talking about the fog lights that are in the headlight assembly right? Because there is a serious lack of real estate in there for any extra wiring. but im sure we could figure it out.

Scott, got your PM, im in for sunday. no real preference over where this takes place.

rx8thunder 06-24-2009 11:54 AM

So DB, are you going to host Sunday? Ok for room? If not, I don't mind doing it at my place. Let me know...

ZmFnZm 06-24-2009 12:30 PM

i might be able to swing by....

Neo 06-24-2009 01:20 PM

Excellent.
Thanks guys. I've been wanting to get those damn HID bulbs in the car for awhile now.

Greg,
Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It's not easy finding room for the ballasts. We had a hell of a time for the standard driving lights. I know for sure we'll have to take the bumper off to get to the light assemblies. But I've got faith on getting it installed.
What would really be great is if we can get the DRL's rewired on the car to the highbeams! Now that's a task and a half! The other guy tried, and he couldn't get them to go. I don't know what the problem was. The wiring seems to check out. But in the end it still doesn't want to fire as the DRLs. I'll let you scramble your head around that. ;)

As for the FD, it looks like I'll be leaving it up in Aurora since it's going to rain for the next couple of days after Sun. The ebrake handle will have to wait.

My biggest concern is getting those damn HID lights in the car. As a bonus, getting the DRL's to work would really make my girl happy! ;)

zmfnzm,
I'll bring the rear LED lights I've got kicking around. See if they'll work on the 8.

I'm okay with hosting on Sunday unless you want it Thunder. Lots of room to park on the street. Single driveway but it will hold three cars.

rx8thunder 06-24-2009 10:15 PM

^ Cool, let's do it at your place. What time can we get started? Please PM your address to me. Thx

Neo 06-25-2009 06:24 AM

Alright, it looks like it's going to be at Darkbrew's place.
Send me your addy too DB.

Hopefully the rain won't be too intense. ;)

ZmFnZm 06-25-2009 07:03 AM

Yeah whats your address, i might be able to swing by for a little. Got nothing to install, but always willing to help :)
