O, also I reside in Markham, ON just to give you guys a heads up. Probably do the install meet at my place and head down to Main Street Markham or Unionville (awesome places) for meal and drinks at the local Frucken.
RX8thunder - Yes - Sat, Sun or Monday works
Parts waiting for installation (only some are DIY): MS CAI, exhaust and strut, Mazsport ignition mod and Mid-pipe, BHR clutch and flywheel, Under pulley, spark plugs

Do you have a complete set of pulleys or just the crank pulley? When I did mine I had a real bitch of a time with the Alternator pulley. Actually had to take it to a shop to get the nut off.
I have a track day sunday night.....Monday works for me. turbo...you can pick up the mazspot mod then aswell.......I guess I will have to find something else to install on my car though?
Scott I can help you out with all but the Clutch and Flywheel, that stuff is a little more tool intensive.

MS exhaust to install that is all.
Tools required:
jack stands, wheel chocks (big rock will do)
torque wrench
WD40
socket set
industrial sheers or cutters (to cut exhaust tip plastic bumper part)
Weekend of May 24 is good.

Add a big screw driver in your list to pry at the hanger bushings.

The MS exhaust installation instructions call for 3 different torques on 3 sets of bolts. It also says to trim a 1" section off the inside portion of the exhaust tip bumper plastic.
Instructions inshmuckshions. Torque settings = pretty damn tight with arm strength.
Pop out the plastic bumper pieces as the first thing you do, then uninstall the old one and put in the new one. I didn't have to cut anything with the greddy. Hopefully the MS is the same.

I think the MS instructions want us to cut the 1" trim off the piece just in case it gets too hot and the plastic piece is too close, it will start melting the plastic. With the car up on a jack stands, can't I use a torque wrench?
Or perhaps a lift?
