^ Any Windsorites going to this?

 

I was going to go for a cruise and check it out, wanna meet up before and drive out that way?

 

if it is not raining i am going.

 

Ugh, 70% chance of rain.

 

So I decided that today would be a good day to swap out my plugs since I spent a week in the hospital and could not really do anything stressful for a few weeks.
I thought that this would be a low stress activity. Hah

My wife moved the RX8 and flooded the engine while I was away. So seemed a good 1 - 2 combo - vent rotors - Check. get socket for plugs and extensions as well as breaker handle - Check - Find special adapter for wheel locking nuts - Check Change out plugs - Fail.

First - could not find my hydraulic jack and stands... how do these things disappear? My wife loves to move things - I think these have been lost permanently in some mufti dimensional void. .

So I check out the FAQ on RX8 Club and it looks pretty straight forward - After-all I have swapped out the coils and even done my passenger motor mount.

Well I thought I would just see if my tire changing jack would work. Risking my life etc.. etc.. Battery dead - gotta open the trunk with a key! Fortunately it worked as I have never done that before!

Took off the wheel and labeled the wires... think ahead!

Now the fun part - I don't want to lean too hard and move the car but it looks like I don't have enough room to break the seal on the plugs... "crack" sounds good... until I realize I have cracked the ceramic on the old plug... @^&* - I try it from the top.. no luck. Now I don't want to do this to the new plugs (

Meanwhile the dark thunderclouds are moving in and I need to call it a day.
.....

So fellow Windsorites... if you have the tools and the skill to help me out - I am dead in the water ( or driveway) until I figure this out.

Right now I am looking at wobble extensions - but I have a better idea for the money.

I can be very generous (beer wise) if you can help!

Let me know if you can help me out here - no real rush but, obviously sometime soon.

Thanks a bunch -- Quid.

OK. So we had a relatively successful Show and Shine at Chatham Mazda. The weather held, The burgers and sausages were great and a good time was had. Unbelievably I had the only 8.
We'll prolly do another in the fall.

 

80% chance of rain, and all we got were a few drops; I shudda gone!

 

Hey guys. Been off the net for over a month. Anything going on? Any mod dayz? I am going to change my coolant and hoses, or some other things. Sounds good?

 

When you planning on doing this Chad? been thinking of changing my coolant too. Plus a few other questions I wanna ask you about

 

I was thinking, maybe Sunday.

 

Hey what's up everyone looks like we might have nice weather for once anyone want to do a meet

 

Tomorrow? cause sunday I might be going for a cruise out somewhere past london to pick up a flywheel for the 8, not for certain yet though/

 

A meet sometime? this weekend is supposed to be nice.
