The pics from the older meets were all done by my g/f so not sure on those... her camera is point and shoot but she does mess with the settings she's able to occasionally.

The pics from the newer meet I honestly dont remember exactly. I typically use the AV setting and let it take care of the exposure. ISO was probably around 200 at f5.6. Uploaded to flickr without any editing so all that has been done is the resize by flickr.

I am coming up on the factory service interval on the timing belt wondering if any of you guys could give me a hand with that on Friday? Any takers?

which is better? The set NGK on sparkplugs.com or rotaryfx.com? They're basically the same price

edit: nvm... just noticed the part numbers... same product lol.

Meh, I got my NGK's from Advance Autoparts locally. I thought sparkplugs.com was like $65.00?

Edit:

the Code: rx8ngk is for a 10% discount. Not really that great of a deal. I think I paid around $80.00 or so but ask tbk, he just bought some at advance not too long ago.

Just ordered my plugs and coils last night and they shipped this morning. Do we have any plans for a meet sometime? Unless my car starts acting up I'm not really in a hurry.

So that's who texted me a pic of coilovers... that can be a bit of a long process but definitely doable in one day. The only reason we had issues when I helped someone in houston was cause there was an issue with one of the lugs either being too tight or crossthreaded (I seem to be bad luck if bolts/nuts etc are involved).

I'm up for whenever, I'll free up some time for whenever we decide on.

Coilovers are easier because you can measure and assemble everything prior to the install and the its just a matter of installing them (not messing with a spring compressor, etc.) then after the install you just fine tune the ride height.
