Hey all....Not dead, just been really busy.

Finally got my CarPC installed in my retratable Nav Hood. I think it turned out pretty good. Looks stock.

My MSD LS7 coils work really nice as well. Couldn't wait for Charles Hill and company, so I bought some connectors and did it myself.

25mm wheel spacers really look nice as well...makes the tires line up almost perfect with the fenders /w no rubbing.

I'll post some pics when I get time....pumped about another Lakefront Meet. We need WAY MORE 8's this year as skwidd and I can't carry all of you

Later

I need to get my Revo 3.3 running in time for the meet. I haven't run it in a few months and the one-way bearing is gunked up, so I can't spin the motor.

I'd bring out a heli, but there's too many people out there. Maybe I should put together a delta wing. Last one I hosed playing around under a t-storm cloud.

Repairs! 02-13-09

Hey everyone, I have an '04 with 97k miles on it. I brought my care into Paretti the other day to have it looked at for a check engine light and a few other issues. According to them I have to have several repairs done including new rotors, a new clutch and or flywheel, new oil pan, new spark plugs, wires and core packs, and I have to get a fuel injection flush. The total estimate for all of the repairs is $4577.55 which I think is outrageous. I am having them send me an itemized list for all of the repairs and labor but I was wondering if anyone knew of any other repair shops that are knowledgeable about rotaries. I'm trying to find somewhere that can do it for cheaper. I also want to know what everyone thinks about the price and extent of work they say needs to be done. Thanks everyone!

wow thats alot. have you tried to get mazda to replace the eng. also you can do alot of the work your self, the coil packs wires and plugs are easily changed out. i did it my self when i got the mazsport ignition solution the oil pan should be easy too. also if you need the other new parts you should get performance parts ( light weight rotors, upgraded clutch/flywheel, better oil pan) anyways let us know. also free free to check out evolv new orleans thread and sign up
