Based on how much y'all are looking to install, I would recommend getting some work gloves. They have them at Autozone for about $25, or you can get something close at Home Depot for about $10. I know after all the stuff we did yesterday, they would have made a huge difference. After a full day of working on multiple cars, your hands will feel it.
Good luck this coming weekend and have fun! There better be pictures!

How late are ya'll going to be installing? I have orientation for UTI in coppell on that saturday but its in the morning. I just installed my revi intake, duct, borla exhaust, spark plugs. I have Hawk HPS pads and SS brake lines left to install before the texas 8 meet and i also want to replace my fluids. If yall are going into the evening then id much rather install with some 8 people rather than myself lol.

So my 5th gear grinds now, or grinds a little before going in, sometimes it wont go in... Fantastic!!! Sigh so im taking it to Town North Mazda tomorrow, already called and talked with Tawny (I think that was her name)... I just dont want my brand new tranny fluid to go to waste... I dont remember if Tawny is bad or good... anyone?

There's 3 people at Town North: Penny, (who most seem to talk to), Victor (who I work with), and then I believe the guy's name is Mike. No Tawny...

Also just FYI, my 4th gear grinds as well (but from 3rd to 4th) but only at high RPMS, and I've never not had it go in (thats what she said), well unless I was being stupid and wasnt applying enough pressue. I've seen alot of other threads on the boards about exactly my issue, but I'm not exactly sure what it was.

Just curious, why go all the way to TNM when classic is probably closer?

We get parts discounts with Freeman Mazda and everytime I have had my car serviced there they have impressed me. You guys may want to try them out as well seeing they are a sponsor to our RX8 event.
