What we need is a centralized location where we have

a) easy access to food
b) work that is required to be done on OTHER cars
c) clear area where seafoam aftermath won't be a problem to the public.

The day's work should involve getting seafoam done to the cars FIRST THING, let it sit on the 2 hours, and move on to start working on other cars that need stuff done like plugs/coils/wires swapped... etc...

If there is spare time, eat lunch. By that time all is done, go and flush out the seafoam on the cars and prepare for smoke show.

This way, we won't have to have a freaking 6 - 8 hour meet that takes up the whole day. Lets be efficient about time.

I spoke with Steve, the owner of Overdrive in Orangeville
http://www.overdriveauto.com/od_orangeville.html

He said that we can seafoam in the parking lot out back his shop.

Overdrive stocks various Royal Purple products, and has a couple of bottles of Redline MT90 and MT75w90 (doesn't really keep a big stock on these but can order them)

He won't do a group buy (on my advice because I know you guys are cheap bitches) but he will special order products in on the basis that we buy it all.
For example he will not buy 2 box of Redline MT90 and then only sell a single bottle of it.

Any interest in this?

If we get started in the morning we can line the cars up for Seafoam and be done by noon.

I just bought my rx8 about a month ago, put about 500kms on it.

I bought with 18200kms on it, its a 2007 VR GT.

Question i have is: Is it worth seafoaming? or should i just wait? If i do seafoam am i going to need new plugs?

Thanks.

So is the seafoaming recommended? Im thinking since i got less than 19k on the car and ive already redlined it a few times, the carbon buildup wouldnt be so bad...but im new to owning the car.

that mileage is nothing bro, i would do it every 40-50 thousand kilometers. just before you have to replace the spark plugs.
