BHR ships priority so you should only have to wait a week. If you need them bad you can contact me, I usually try to keep two sets on hand for myself.

Yeah, right now I am S.O.L. on plugs, placing an order today. Had someone shoot me some advice... more than likely the engine is flooded. Hopefully I can figure it out lol. Everyone has a different method it seems.

If your car isn't fixed in 2 weeks I'll be up that way, so I can take a look at it if you want.

That would be awesome or I can come up. Either or. I go on leave the 15th. I've been a little busy this week but I have a 4 day this weekend, hopefully I can do some work on it. I see you have the BHR ignition upgrade, would you recommend it? Still hoping I can make Hockenheimring and Nurburgring. This will be my last chance since I PCS in February.

I got my new filter finally. Gonna put that and my catch can in on Tuesday or Wednesday so I'll be down for Nurburg or Hockenheim rings. I want to go check out Le Mans too, that should be fun.

I have leave approved for 9-12 Sept so I'm gonna head to Nurburgring on Saturday if anyone wants to come along.

I meant Saturday the 11th, sorry for that. My normal days off are Tuesday and Wednesday so I'll only be able to go track on those days.

I definitely want to plan a Le Mans trip to drive on that track, but that will probably have to wait until the weather is better.

Alright, since my place is on the way if you'd like we can meet up at Ramstein and then drive up there, I'm trying to get a few more people to come along that day too.

I live close to Ramstein so I'll most likely try to get everyone to meet up there if it's on the way. If not then we can just meet there

If my GoPro isn't here in time (which it probably won't be) I'll be borrowing my friend's camera so I'll be able to get some good vids and pics of us.

Hey guys. I gotta get my transmission dismantled and probably replace the release bracket. I'm located in Norway and the workshops here are so damn expensive so I'm thinking about taking a drive down to North-Germany and find a good Mazda workshop there. I'm located in Norway. So can any of you recommend a good Mazda dealer in Northern Germany?

Germany is expensive too. I believe, unsure, everyone here is located Southern and Western part of Germany. Even though I find it a joke, are you covered under the warranty or is it something else. BTW like you plate... have enough 8's.

No, I'm not covered by warranty. Germany is atleast half the price of around here so it'll be worth it anyway. Some of you gotta be located in Northern-Middle Germany atleast. A few hundred KM from the Danish border is ok.

All you need is some cash and a car. No helmet necessary.

It's considered a public road, do you have to have tow hooks while cruising on the highway?
I agree that the helmet is not mandatory but i'd rather use it anyway!
