I think you and I would get along IRL. I am already driving my wife nuts with this car and you know how long I have had it. That is ok though as she forgets all about it when she is in the driver's seat. How far is your new house from the Summit Mall?

 

Here is a map I quickly threw together:

 

I am sure you all have your own sources but I thought this would be helpful in finding the right light when ordering on the internet.

I live acrossed from the mall is why I asked.

 

Over by hickory across smith (by the library) or the other side on Fairlawn proper? Because my 8 is just off hickory on vesper. Surprised u didn't hear the sound of a borla at 9200 rpms last Saturday regardless.

I'll be bullshitting my way through gauge installs all weekend and probably spending qt at Arnies in between.

 

No I live where ghent dead ends into west market in the older neighborhood there. So you are going to be out this way Saturday?

 

Hey guys. My 8 is going up for sale. Here is the link to the post if anyone is interested:

Thanks.

 

I sent a TXT off to Brian and Megan. Why you sellin jonnyspeed?

 

Ooo lets hope it is to get the R3

 

The 8 is a luxury item for me... My new job is going to have me traveling most of the time during the week and weekends will be family time. With the economy the way it is I'd rather have the money in the bank than an extra car in the garage right now.

I'll miss it, but you may see me back in a year or so with an R3

 

That is a sound reason in my book. Good luck with the new job.

 

Best of luck to you at your new job...... I just looked at the craiglist post and realized my car is in the second picture behind yours.

 

Noel - Here is the different floor mats that I was talking about.

OEM All Weather - $64.95
OEM All Weather - $63.38
OEM All Weather - $58.50

OEM RX8 - $74.99
OEM RX8 - $63.05

Premium Mats - $69.99 (not sure if these are OEM or not)
OEM Premium - $58.20

 

You rock John thanks. I am really looking for someone that wants rid of something collecting dust in the garage you know? The OEM RX8 are only 68 at Park mazda. I think I would break even with no shipping and the 63.05. Clears used are hard to come buy. You may have read me trying to get that cat to trade me +25 but he wont respond to any of us.

Edit: Jspeed did you place it on Akron/Canton craigslist as well? I know when I was shopping I never really thought to look on the cleveland list just kept looking at Akron/Canton. Yeah kinda dense I know.

 

I don't know why he won't. It's not like you are asking him to ship it as soon as he gets the cash or something. As for the mats...I have the OEM RX8 mats and the OEM All Weathers...if you get a choice...go All Weather. So much nicer!

 

I was looking at that. The all weathers look sweet with the little rotars. My wife even liked em and she is hard to impress.

 

They are super thick and well designed. It took a little getting used to at first but now I only pull them for like car shows and *****.

 

Fwiw oem parts are usually cheapest at onlinemazdaparts.com. Always look there first. Rx8strakes is good for clear corners or other things.

 

Ty Rk.

DB, I never did get that bodyshop info from you on Wednesday. Could you hook me up with their number? The work looked nice.

 

Sent it to you via MSN

 

Ironic, this is the car I test drove back in March at Park and was VERY close to buying, then I ended up with the POS ms3 I really wish I could snag this off you, but timing is kinda bad.. otherwise I'd be over in a heartbeat to get it. Good luck selling though!

 

Wow we are catching up to the Chicago area lougne thread! So how is everyone's friday?

 

The Weekend Plan:

FWIW I'm housesitting in Akron/Fairlawn where my car is stored on Saturay, Sunday, and Monday. Here's my plan:

Saturday:

-Get the car on jacks
-Try to install Lotek pod (includes removing radio)
-Drain oil (full 6qt drain)
-Install oil catch can

Sunday:

-Wire gauges (assuming Lotek install happened)
-Drain/Change Coolant
-Change Brake Pads
-add oil (5w40 for track)
-start the car with fingers crossed
-go to Autozone or Sears and get the parts I need when oil starts leaking everywhere
-start the car again. This time kicking things.

Monday night:

-Clean up my mess after work but before the Buckeyes game

Flexibility on some of the items (pads, coolant) so if someone's available one day who can help and not the other let me know. There's also the possibilty that I will clean out my intake manifold since it was a little dirty in there (probably closer to Jon's clean manifold than Steve's dirty one) but knowing the time it takes me to do work vs. the time listed I'm betting I'll run out of time w/o removing the manifold.

If anyones in the mood to assist feel free to stop by. I have no idea if I'll be capable of wiring the gauges so I may nix that if I decide it's too much.

Oh and I'll have plenty of Bud Light in the fridge.

 

We must talk too much.

I'm working

 

Yes work.

I am going to come over and help (hinder) Ryan If it is dry tonight I am going to take mine out of the garage and get some more pics since my dad is a mazda fan he is bugging me for more. He is wanting a speed 3 pretty badly.
