Free RX8 Stuff!

I'm cleaning out the garage and I found that I have a set of used (about 40K) Mazda speed shocks and a set of HID lights (no bulbs) that I need to get rid of. They are free to the first people who wants them. Pickup only. I'm in the galleria area.

There's an electric connector you'll have to clean. Other have had this same problem and this was a quick fix! There's a thread about this somewhere with pics and description of where this connector is too.

Guys,whens the next meet? I know everyone should have some time now that schools done for the semester. Got a chance to meet a bunch of the DFW guys this past weekend at the state meet, was a little disappointed no one else came from Houston. So lets at least get a few guys together HERE. Great weather lately, lets take advantage!!

My friend got his exhaust back then installed at Carboys. He said that they were pretty cheap.

786 motoring is a nice shop. I got my fenders rolled by them and they are nice people to deal with. I would recommend these guys since I personally dealt with them.

If you have some tools and time you could save yourself some money and install the exhaust yourself with some friends. It is very straightforward but sometimes the hangers get very annoying.

Maybe we should have another install day!

Hope this helps

i trust these guys, collision craftsman. near my house. and all i see in the shops are mercedes and classics, and vettes and vipers. so i know they take good care, 100% satisfaction guarantee.
