most likely a day to pull the old one, a day to install, then most of the next to fine tune, test drive, and tweak it.

I'm thinking i'll be picking her up on Thursday afternoon, but thats a guess on my part.

Finger's crossed man!!!

Isn't it when they change the engine it takes FOREVER?

Are they going to let you keep/buy back the old engine?

old engine is going back to Japan to be dissected

to be re-manufactured for the next warranty usage. :uhh:

you got it!

Well I just got home from the dealership and dropped off the Redline fluids i picked up from Scarb Mazda (thanks Al). My car is up on the hoist completely in pieces!!! My new engine is sitting in its mount waiting to be mated up with my clutch and transmission!

The old engine is in a box and even sitting there on it's own they cant get the damn thing to spin!!!

oh well, brand new shinny rebuilt engine is here and being installed!!!!

The service Manager at Oakville Mazda is going to take some pictures of my car in pieces for me tomorrow morning, so i'll put them up as soon as i get them.

I should have my car back by Thursday is everything keeps going well.
SWEET!!!!

Good News Kevin! You'll be ready to start modding again :)

ya keving, glad to hear some progress finally. You gonna swing by scotts on sunday then?

You got it! Still have to see the HT

^ And we need to start planning your HT :)

Ah yes but that involves something called $$$$ and i cant seem to find a lot of them lately!!! :)

whats happened to all that money you havent had to spend on gas/oil for the 8 in the last month? lol

spent it on the house, that my other bottomless pit!

I get my baby back tomorrow!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

Right on!! About time! Nice dealership man!

Nice!!!!

Great!

yup, gona go for a nice looonnnggggg drive tomorrow

is it back? :)

When are u picking it up?

Just got the call an hour ago...... She's not ready yet :( Tomorrow i pick her up!

They had a fuel spill in the shop(not from my car) which slowed things down, then the tech that was working on my car got sick because of it:banghead:

Oh well, i've waited this long whats one more day. I would rather have the tech who took it all apart, and put most of it back together finish off the job, than to throw some other warm body at it just to get it done.

Besides now they can have time to fully detail the car for me :)

>< Man that sucks

Oh the bright side, you'll get the car back when it's sunny outside....

Thank God it's Friday then!!!
