i'll do that the next time he's out there

 

now thats some staggered fitment. what rims you getting? are they ADR? thats usually what brand martin can get a good deal on.

and what kind of hood are you getting in CF. let me know if you want the SEIBOn. i have a friend that has the hook up on those hoods. he is getting one for his RX-7 for around $450 i beleive.

otherwise everything else sounds good!

 

He mentioned that he could get a deal on rims so they're probably ADR, but I'm not sure. I'll talk to him tomorrow so I can found out more info. I'm starting to get excited... kinda like a super cool present that you know you're getting for Christmas, but the holiday is still a few weeks away... :D

 

I'd be excited too if i was getting all those mods/upgrades to my 8.... Can you help me pick out a tree to run over so i can start picking out a body kit

 

I know a couple in the Costco Parking lot.

 

Sure!! There are some great ones over by Rack Daddy's... I've forbidden myself from driving that way, but I can draw you a map! :D

 

Did you let Gothom know that I will have stock springs, sway bars, and endlinks if your car needs them?

 

Oh, no I forgot. There going to put it up on the lift on Sunday and leave it there until all the parts have come in. The front suspension is jacked up too (why am I not surprised)... I just talked to him and I think I'll end up talking to him again tomorrow or Sat so I'll be sure to mention it.

 

call'em girl!!!!

 

Ok, I told him.

 

Cool, Does he know what you need yet?

 

Not yet. It's going up Sunday and him and Steve are going to check it all out. But he made a note.

 

dazy, on your hood, go to mazdaparts.com and they have some pics of various hoods that you can check out just for ideas.

 

im jackin this thread... gimme all ur posts!

 

Third post..... Yes a pattern is definitely developed here. Your glasses are on too tight.

 

Thanks. I'll do that tomorrow at work. :D

Here ya go, sayin you some time.

 

Thanks Jenkins!!

 

No problem, and the CF ones are already on a red one :D

 

Yeah, that helped. When I talked to Martin yesterday, he made it sound like the CF he was referring to was all black, but when I went up there on Wed I could have sworn he said red/blk. I'm going to call and make sure we're on the same page, but I only want CF if it's dual color.

 

woohoo!!! i'm back!

 

Dude, we get it, your back D

 

I don't think I've seen someone so excited to come back to FW... did he drink the water while in Padre?

 

Hey Tiff, give us an update on your 8 when you know it.

 

Don't think I gave an update after Wednesday so here goes:
-Front rail that protects the engine bay is bent. Supposed to have a "u"-shape w/sides bending inward, but currently looks like a "z" with the new bend from the tree. :o
-Front suspension is jacked up too
-My battery is dead. I couldn't even remotely unlock the doors or the trunk.
-Martin can get a black CF hood on a group buy, but I passed that up. I want either red/black CF or stock so Alex is looking for a hood today.
-Martin/Alex checked out the suspension yesterday and a control arm is scuffed and a few small parts need to be ordered, but the damage wasn't as bad as originally thought.
-Allstate will probably come back out this week to look at the damage Martin is claiming (hood & wheels) so I'll know more about that later this week.
-I didn't ask, but I'm assuming the front and side skirts have not come in yet.
