I always forget to look, I wonder how many lurkers we have in our fair thread from time to time.

Jon - does the 21st or 22nd for the water pump sound good?
Took the 8 out for a spin today. . . still running hot... 210 in 70 degrees at night at around 35 mph.

Got the Bronco Buttoned up, sort of, and out of the way for the your guys rolling into town. Lets hope it doesn't rain hard, because the roof leaks in my back bay... slightly, but enough to **** you off for sure.

 

I should be able to do it then.
22nd would be better if you want more time to do it since I get off work at 5am on Fridays.
With the possibility of moving in the next few weeks my schedule is a little unpredictable.

 

Well, give me as much notice as you can. For moving and the water pump. You know I'm down for helping you move, again. Hell, i'll even bring a truck this time!

Better ask doc to supervise though.

 

We are still good for 22nd right now.
If I move it'll probably (hopefully) be at the end of the month.
This time I'm looking at moving to Seven Hills with a friend.
Just waiting to hear his final decision on if he minds a room-mate.

 

none of my business, but "a" room mate? Not, room mate(s)?

Also, can you help this guy out?

He need to know where the sensor in his steering column that detects the key in the ignition and doesn't allow the doors to lock or alarm to be set. I figure you could set him straight with one of those schematics that I don't understand.

 

Yulia and I decided to split. We both need separation to get back on our feet.
Now I'm looking for a place to live since we both want to move out ASAP.
We are leaving on good terms and will remain friends (and possibly get back together later if feelings are still there).

I'll take a peak.

 

well, sorry to hear that, hope it works out alright.

 

That sucks Jon, sorry to hear about that.

Steve: Shoot me a PM on the when and where for Wednesday if you'd like another pair of hands.

 

Dana,


I'm probably gonna get there sometime around 6:00pm on Wednesday, as well as Ryan. I think Steve may be starting earlier though, so he can chime in with that.




Jon, sorry to hear about you and Yulia. I'm glad you two are ending it on good terms though. If you need help with the move let me know. Depending on the date I'll gladly help.

 

I'll just post it again in case in any lurkers want to come out also.

I'll start working on the car after work: around 3.30pm

Address: (Same address you picked up your BOV at)

706 Tuscawaras st East
Canton, OH 44707

 

Ill second that. My schedule changes this week at work so Im now off Sun - Tues from here on out. "Anything you need...you got it...Anything at all...you got it"

 

+1
Truly sorry to hear about that Jon, please let me know if you need anything. As I offer to the others, I can bring cupcakes to the move at least

 

Brownies are better. . . I mean, if I'm going to be there, brownies would rule.

 

Vyn did you get a hold of Fluid? If you want to just PM me a good addy to get it sent I'll get it all arranged. He's usually pretty happy to hear from me.

 

Ryan - his supplier is on the west coast... so he has to wait for them to open. I asked about overnight on both the rear adjusters and front key. He's going to get a quote by this afternoon he said. If you'd like to contact him, by all means help me out.

(Read from the bottom up on our PMs.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes it is possible.

I will get a shipping quote from him later as well.

Thanks

Brice

Anyway, I am buying a set of used shocks and during the removal from the seller, these broke. He also lost the front tool used to adjust the front Tokico D-Spec Shocks.

I'm curious about 2 things.
1. Do you have the rear adjusters in stock&can you ship them to me overnight so I have them wednesday night for my install.
2. Can I also a front shock adjustment key?

Let me know ASAP if you can.

-Steve

 

Damn. Cali is expensive unless they use a flat rate USPS. Which they should since the parts would fit in it (It's 17.50 overnight).

 

yeah... why did you have to break them???


EDIT... i bet it was megan. she breaks everything.

 

Jon you can live in my spare room if you let me drive your 8 a couple times a week

Sorry to hear about that.

 

Actually when we took the rear out the adjusters were just loose like that. They still adjust, but somehow managed to come out of the pinch tube. If by some chance you can't get them by tomorrow then I will bring down some crimping tools with me so I can try and "fix" them.

I bet I can.

 

Yea...your parts fit in those flate rate USPS boxes so all you would have to pay extra on it is a signature form if they felt like requiring it. I would ask them to go that way instead of like FedEx or UPS.

 

no PM yet... Ryan, did you contact Brice also?

 

No. I sent emails to Jason @RX7store and Rishie @RND but haven't heard back from them either. I vote we try it it Brian's way tomorrow (they work they just come off) and you can order some new ones w/o rush shipping along with the key thingy and if there's a problem with the extenders we'll take them off and put them back on again when you get the new ones.

 

Jeeze! Vendors are so lame, no concept of urgency.

 

The only problem with them not working and putting new ones on would be that you have to drop the rear coil/shock assembly in order to put them on.

But that's as easy as (2) 14mm bolts, (4) 14mm nuts, (1) 12mm bolt and (1) 17mm bolt, as well as all the plastic screwes and the trunk lining.

It's quite easy actually. The sad part is I know every size socket for each bolt and nut for these suspensions now. I can safely say I have done it quite a few times.


I have a pretty good feeling that I can get the rears taken care of and fixed. I didn't even think of it on Saturday Ryan, but I should have taken them home with me to dick with over the weekend. I'm sure I could have found a spare few minutes in between working on the engine.

 

Alrighty then. Well, hopefully it'll work out when we're here tomorrow. Bronco is in duty for this weekend, so if my 8 is not driveable, not the end of the world.
