Soon I have few things to do to my car maintenance wise (diff/tranny/oil fluid changes) and was thinking if anyone else needed any help with small mods Id be willing to help and/or lend tools. I have 2 jacks, some jackstands, and all sockets needed for any job (no impact wrench unfortunatly).

I'm thinking I will do this within the next few weeks if there seems to be a warm day coming up. Any interest?

Install Ideas:

-intake
-exhaust (if bolts have been loosened previously. If not, I don't have the means to take off a age-welded bolt)
-suspension work excluding aftermarket springs on struts (too much of a PITA to do anymore)
-gauges
-brake caliper painting
-expanding oil venting
-removing vfad
-short shifter
-any fluid changes
-any light bulb changes
-any maintence stuff like cabin air filter or engine air filter

let me know guys

 

I need to do my decarb, change spark plugs/coils, and install a cat back im buying from 9krpm. im up to help with ANYTHING. i love experience and working on 8s.

i know how to install--
intake
midpipe
body kits
suspension

 

i can do regular maintenance pretty much....rotors, brakes, spark plugs, oil change, couple of other things....I'm hoping to buy my springs so I will finally be lowered

 

Cool, I did a Seafoam a couple months ago. Never done plugs or coils but I've read the DIY and it seems easy enough. We could install that catback for ya too, seeing as the bolts have recently been loosened from putting the mp on. Let me know when you get your car back!

Sounds good man

 

If this is in a few weeks I should be able to come out!

I can do bolt on mods/suspension/coils/sparks...etc

Let us know Ross

 

I need to clean the engine with the foam agent thing, also maybe paint the calipers.

-let me know when you want to do this. preferably in a mild day.

 

Yeah, whenever is fine with me. You guys just start throwing out dates and times and we can piece something together. Maybe I can throw some hotdogs on the BBQ lol.

Not a problem man, just let me know when you're available. Next week should be in the 70's...

For the caliper paint, you can pick some up at AutoZone I believe (same for Seafoam ($10). They usually have blue, red, black, or silver in stock for $15 or 20 IIRC.

 

If your going to paint the calipers you should do it right. www.G2USA.com they have high heat paint, that is incredibly durable. Also its probably going to be to cold to paint them, I think it says it should be at least 70 degrees but I would have to check the box I have at home.

 

It's this brand: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...er=539677_0_0_

 

I used this on my 8 and if you want go ahead and look at my photos to see how it turned out. This stuff turns to rock, and is very durable. It coats on thick to so its very resiliant but smooth. I have photos if you wanna see how it turned out just click on my sig and goto brake caliper painting album.

CAUTION:
Only open cans immediately before use. Apply and use product only in dust-free, well-ventilated area. Working temperature must be between 56 - 70 degrees. Once mixed, the G2 Brake Caliper PaintSystem cannot be stored and must be used immediately - once mixed, there are only between 4-6hrs working time with the paint depending on ambient temperature. Plan the application process accordingly. Also, brake dust may contain asbestos. Wear safety clothing and a face mask while cleaning calipers.

 

Looks good man, the Duplicolor also works and looks very good and it's cheaper too by over $20. I painted mine about 2 years ago and they're just now starting to fade if you look real close.

 

I have some race ramps for the height challenged people. I can help with pretty much any of the installs as well. Someone bring the strength of he-man and put the midpipe on my car.

 

I have a breaker bar, but my sockets are 12 point, not 6 point so it will strip. If you were to have a 6pt 14mm socket we could probably get it on

 

Ross Dawgs Driveway?

 

I stole the idea from someone

 

Must've been a genius.

 

Mebbeh

 

Damn I don't know if I can swing buying a socket. Let me go ***** myself out by the Fiesta brb.

 

putting on my midpipe took like an hour and i broke the old bolts, but bhr sent new ones anyways

 

it'll be worth it

 

yeah i might buy a intake soon as well as spark plugs, so i can go put those on..also i got half a can of that mazda engine cleaner for the 8 if anyone wants 2 use it, it worked pretty good and i have the whole process to do it memorized already..so anyone can have that

 

Oh yeah I have some leftover Seafoam as well if anyone needs it.

 

i was gonna sell it but i dont wanna be a douch..lol..ill just give it away..lol..and yall spark plug nerd need to help me change mine, ive never changed them in the 8 before..lol..and any recomendation on a type of plugs?

 

Ngk from bhr. It's simple simple to install an intake and plugs/coils.

 

cool, ill probably get those then..dont they sell those in like autozone and crap 2?
