ya i agree with you adam, just a little more drop in the front and it would be just where i want it. I will have to wait till summer to do it though. it hasn't been to bad with the como roads, just cringe a little when i hit a large bump or something on the road lol.

So would anyone be down for a really cold meet over winter break or are we waiting till spring?

sounds good, a cruise and getting some food after was what I had in mind. I'd be down anytime after December 12 when i'm back in town.

Btw anyone interested in buying a set of wheels: thinking of selling either the enkei's or the stock wheels

Hopefully I can get a chance to meet up with you guys some time. I'm in school for another week then out. I would like to fix little annoyances I am getting with the help of others who know more about the 8 than I do.

Were to start...For one I don't have high beams. Bulbs are in and filiment look good in the headlight, fuse is good also. I just have the HID lights and DRL on. I have to wiggle a relay to get my taillights working. Sometimes I don't have to wiggle it. I keep getting a CEL for the gascap. Sometime the car won't turn over when I turn the key. And a backup camera that was never fully installed yet. My fault on that.

Thats all pretty hard stuff to diagnose a lot of electrical crap.

Only thing I could say is about the gas cap take it to mazda get a new cap and it should fix it. they have to clear the code.

I know what you mean rob, i just recently my right sidemarker light stop working. so far i replaced the bulb harness, checked the fuses and swapped bulbs, no luck so it must be a wiring issue.

Question, was wondering what size spacer i could use with the current ride height, wheels, and tires(stock size) i have without any rubbing? would like to know if it would be enough to sit even with the body.

I would think 20mm. Those wheels are 18x8 +43 right?

Yea that's the wheel size, just seems like the stock tire sidewall might rub the fender.

Is there anyone in here that lives in Kansas City? I am looking for a place to leave my car in KC for a few days over break. It will make my trip to AZ a lot shorter if I can just meet my friends in KC instead of Iowa. haha

Sorry that is the area that I'm trying to leave over break. Hoping to get as far away from school as possible when I graduate this Saturday.

I got my compression tester yesterday!

Sucks that it's now cold outside. I'll probably try it out next weekend.

^ friday sounds good.

I say we have a contest to see who has the worst compression, and the loser buys us food when we go out after. Just an idea
