I should be changing the shocks on my Shinka in about a month.. They have 67k on them....

@9k thanks for the o2 sensor changed it out and code is gone....

@shady thanks for the o2socket and 22m wrench the wrench did the trick. If we go to Scott's tomorrow I will leave them with him....

 

No worries glad you were able to get it swapped out!

 

I just checked my oil... It hasn't dropped a bit since I changed it 4 weeks ago.

I'm premixing 1oz per gallon until I can clean the lines at the next mod day... Hopefully my engine isn't fubar now..

 

How far did you drive?

 

what happened

 

hey 9k are you gunna get together tomorrow?just want toknow if there is gunna be time tomorrow to get my suspension done? i dunno mayyy be cornholio can lend me a hand if he is going to go

 

like 500 milesish.

Engines full of oil... fuuuuuu!

 

I'm going to start re-doing the wiring in my glove box tomorrow and wire in the fix for the cell light for my seat If anyone wants to see that operation they can stop by. I have a few more parts to pick up for it but would like to get started noonish if the weather holds out.

 

How much does your car usually go through in that distance? My 8 would only need about 1 quart after 2000 miles. You could barely notice any change after only 500 miles.

Is anyone interested in a Canon Rebel XTi? Comes with an 18-55mm and a 50mm lens. Also a 2GB and 8GB CF card. I have all the accessories and manuals as well.

Just clearing out some stuff I don't need or use enough to keep since I'm moving. Figured that might be something of interest for someone here.

 

@Mike Thanks I will def take those off your hands. My shocks are currently at 122k and still trucking! But my 8 also looks like its been lowered...and it def hasn't haha. I had to lift the rear fenders to get it on the lift at Mazda last week. Soooo I took my 8 to the 1/4 last night and ran a smoking 16.5 haha. I also have a clogged cat and need to install my new plugs so i'm sure that isn't helping. My first run the announcer said "and here we have the roto rooter!" haha

 

Pulled into Lackland last night, checking into the base tomorrow to begin my house hunt. Might have time tomorrow afternoon to check out what youre doing. Pop me a PM if you get a chance with a number or addy I can meet you at.

In other news, I scrape pulling into all the wash bays on base... Might need to bring the ride height up ~5mm in the front and rear. Sitting in my hotel room bored for the remainder of the night, damn Auto Hobby is closed and I have plugs, oil and filter sitting in the backseat. Maybe tomorrow.

 

Well I did some datalogging on my way back, Mass airflow hit around 246 g/s at 9k. afr was between 12.0-12.3 at WOT.

looks like my baby is doing good! We should have a mini dyno day, once 9k, Houston and hoss are done with their builds. My turbo will take allot longer so Ill just run with where I'm at to see how much HP I lost over the year.

 

id be game with that

 

how flamed would I get if I lined 3 of these up to serve as SOHN supply, washer fluid and oil seperator tanks?

 

Do it.

 

I am going to fab one up and see what it looks like.....I think I can make it work and look good. the washer fluid one is the only one that concerns me but I think I have an idea.

 

oh yea my car its in the body shop! getting ready for the tx8!

 

Sweet! will it be out of the shop by the weekend so we can put the springs and shocks in?

 

Flying to Portland Oregon on the 28th... Its been 5 months since I saw the "finance", so my libido wins this round... In other news I met Hoss and 9k tonight and got "learned up" on 8's. Looking forward to a lot more schooling in the future. Way cool to meet down to earth tuners in the local area. Looking forward to this weekend.

 

Hey now... We are gear heads not tuners!!!

 

It was cool meeting you Piroxide, I hope you don't mind but I posted some pics of your ride in the Aggressive fitment thread

 

Yeah yeah, I'm learning the 'Texas lingo' slowly... I'll have to pop into that thread and take a look. Off to look at two houses now then hopefully finding a claybar.

 

^ dude your R3 looks sick look forwarding to meeting you soon... Another Mod day this coming weekend???? I should be free..

 

Pickup a claybar kit at your local autozone!

Yes we have a big mod day coming up, lots of last minute Texas 8 **** to do!!! Also we have some leftover mesquite chips, so be prepared for BBQ action.


Assuming 9k is ok with all this of course...

 

I'm down, hopefully my ******* turbo and manifold get here or otherwise it's no Texas8 for me.
