i just bought all that stuff in red and i cant figure out how to get the map light part out i was trying to pop out the piece with a screw driver but i couldnt figure it out can anyone give any advice

 

damn near broke my finger... I pulled as hard as i could on one side and it popped out... then had bend the clip back....

i would say just work on one side. once one side is free it is easy. it is soooooo much easier to show vs tell. should have taken snapshots while installing, i knew those directions were kinda lame.

i probably didn't help too much.

good luck!

 

hey was wondering if anyone has a garage and tools i can borrow to put on my new exhaust on my rx8... shops want like 80 bucks for 10 min of work id apperciate it ^^

 

i do...! i'll help put it in to!

Thanks for the link and info to that show. I have heard about it a few different times but haven't had a chance to get to it yet. I actually live just 6 miles or so from that place so plan on taking my car there this summer. It would be fun to get a bunch of 8's together for it.

Did you get your exhaust on yet?

 

No problem! I hope to see that show covered with 8's . And yes i did get my exhaust on ill post some pics maybe tomorrow of it if i have time.

 

i might be able to get there.. not in minn, but fargo so close enough...

 

that'd be a fun lil road trip for the weekend

 

yea its lots of fun i cant wait for april!!!

 

So.... I got my car all cleaned up since it's been above freezing. Even changed the oil and tranny fluid. Then my brothers car broke so he needed to borrow mine. He's a pretty good driver so I said sure why not, even though I hadn't really driven it yet since I got it cleaned up.

Well aparently it was a horrible idea because while he was driving down 94 some idiot with a big plastic ice fishing sled in the back of their truck went flying past him and the sled flew out and hit the hood and bumper of my car dead on. Dents and scratches. And of course the guy kept driving while my brother tried not to crash.

So if any of you are missing a plastic sled thing, you owe me some body work.

Pics to come.

 

talk about luck! that was me j/k that really does suck tho!

 

Hmmm bugger, it could have been you driving though, that is what insurance is for.

 

Of you could purchase a bumper and hood, they are easy to swap out.

 

where would i go to find a carbon fiber hood and custom bumper?

 

wow... that sucks... i am never afraid of my driving... i always worry about the others on the road.

so i got a test pipe from b&b but cannot get it on... the three bolts in the front suck... i need to find an air ratchet... anyone have one or anyone willing to help with installation?

also someone hit my rear bumper... looks like they backed up into it in a parking lot...

 

i have an air ratchet we put a test pipe on mine give me a call 507-313-1559

 

PB Blaster works awesome at loosening the bolts. Even better is heat.

I recommend replacing the bolts with stainless steel bolt and nuts.

 

I would talk to Jason at Mazdaparts.com

 

oh ok i work for him so.

 

that sucks sorry to read that.... hope your baby will be ok.

 

i might take you up on that... i am so busy now. lol i will let you know.

now that there is snow everywhere again... god i hate winter. 'twas a nice dump last night. thank god i got new tires.

we need to plan a meet soon guys! lol probably realistically some time in march.

 

John.... when are you getting the rest of your turbo kit and when are we gonna install it?? Hurry i want to hear it when its done!!
