I'll be ready at 10am. Can't wait

 

intake and strut bar and screens could be done all in one shot, expecially since wcs and i have done this just recently on mine, pulley would be straigt forward too since the bumper would be off and stock airbox out of the way. Fluids are eqaully too time spent finish a beer or two, lol. So ya, dont think its going to take too long that day.

 

My knowledge about cars is pretty much completely theoretical, and has been since I was 12 years old (when I first laid eyes on the FD). I hope I don't get in peoples' way, but I'm hoping to learn a lot from you guys :D

 

Just talked to proficientone, so hes definetly in, confrimed list so far.

1. prospectjtaz
2. theif
3. proficientone
4. neo
5. footman
6. wcs
7. rx8thunder
8. darkbrew
9. agent008
10. turboeight
11. r888
12. qwtre
13. kris

So ya, hopefully 12 8s and 1 MX-5.

Gonna be a sweet meet, finally a meet in the East End!

 

no east would be my way Jay

 

I basically agree, but remember the black plastic clip what a PITA. I don't have that many spares anymore. So we will have to be extra careful.
And the RB Rad Screen was a real bitch to align correctly.
It would also be useful to do the Mazport Ignition Mod while all the **** is out, and I've never done one of those before so <shrug>.

The sways I don't know about either.

Fluids yeah... mmm fluids

I still say 6 hours

 

really hoped you could make it out to this one gecko, i will try andmake a meet this summer thay way, gotta get me some apple pie from the big apple

 

you mean a case of beer and pizza?

 

Jay do I need to bring all my sockets and wrenches too?
I've got to leave by 7pm no later, so at that time I'll be taking my net and going home sorta speak.

 

im not too sure, im gonna read my install manual tonight for the exhaust and midpipe, if everyone can read theres that would be great, i dont want to have u bring ur entire garage with you wcs if we dont need too, jus essentials, like i said i've got a socket set, and ur basic hand tools.

 

Jay, so it's 10am at the meet point, or 10am at your house?

I have blue-magic polished entirely both the centre pipe and my exhaust.. I'll bring the blu emagic for anyone wishing to polish their metallic parts.

 

10 am at the meet point andrew

 

Like I said, we're bound to run into a few problems.

I think I'll join you guys early. Lend some extra hands with anything that needs to be done.

I'll be bringing my socket set along with 2 stands. Just in case. Always better to have a surplus of things then not having anything at all.
We should tackle the heavy installs first. Get those guys out of the way and then tackle the little stuff.
Dropping and replacing exhausts shouldn't take too long.

If I can I'll even bring my creepy crawly.

I can't wait!

 

dude creepers would be a god send, i got to use wcs' creepr makes life easier. gonna see if i can pick one up.

footman why did u delete the niagara cruise thread? or someone did.

 

Going to be a great time!

A tad off-topic, but what is the ideal wheel offset if your rim is 18x9.5 and your tire is either a 235/40 or a 245/35? Objective is to line up the rim/tire with the outer edge of the fender.

Love this community thing -- almost more fun that driving my 8... almost

 

jay....pm me with your address..or wherever everyone is going to end up and i will try to be there a little later in the day.

 

WHO NEEDS FLUIDS???

Transmission mt 90 and diffe 75w90 gear oil by redline? Let me know.

 

I'm not sure I do, but I'm noticing that my shifts aren't as smooth compared to a few months ago. Maybe some tranny oil is needed?

 

just ask me for my car washing supplies list. I'll help you at Can Tire.

 

dude my buddy went down to florida, meeting up with him on sat, meguiars is half price there, RIDICULOUS, how many kms are u at theif?

gecko, i'll pm you my address, hope you can make it out dude, wcs wanted to check out the gauges

 

I have a new exhaust gasket.. already on mine

maybe I should bring my gauges in case gecko can make it and help me out=)

 

dude werent u gi on a gauge pod? are u mounting a prototype or on of the commericial ones?

 

I'm at 36500km. Yes I know, the car is very low mileage.

 

alright wel, its ur choice too, mazda recommends swap fluids at 53 or 56, im beginning to do it relgiously every year, 20 bucks is nuthin if it means a longer lasting tranny, let me know by tonight if u want too, it's gonna be about 20 somthing under 30, cause the tranny takes jus a bit over 20, and seeing what the consensuse on how many ppl wanna do a fluid swap, it'l ba max of 25 or as a low of 21, i know its weird math, but it makes sense.

 

Alrighty, well im grabbing transmission and diff fluids for rx8thunder, me, and turboeight, anyone else need fluids pm me. im making the run tomorrow.
