haha sorry doc it was 4am when i posted that i was a bit tired, you'll have to excuse the fact i forgot to copy and paste.... and that i cant count to thirteen apparently also.

so who's all bringing there 8 on sunday, this could be one of the biggest get togethers we've had and it could have the fewest amount of cars hah. i havent read more than a few pages back but seems like its only gonna be me, nick, and only a couple others. should be a lot of fun either way

 

Damn... the garage won't be big enough to fit everyone who is planning on going.

Steve- Do you need me to bring my flywheel nut socket and stopper?
Wasn't sure if you planned on selling the flywheel separate or with the engine.

 

Someone should also bring a video camera with lots of memory/tape/whatever. Who knows what we might get into.

 

This will be my first time to the shop, so I'm not sure what tools you all will have. I do have an electric impact wrench and an entry level air tool set with 10 gal compressor. The compressor is a pain to fit into the 8, but if it will be useful I can bring it. Just let me know by tomorrow AM.

 

I'll bring a first aid kit.............and Guinness

 

ngill33- I believe Brian (Tiresmoker) said he was bring his compressor.

 

should be a good day for tomorrow then, i may be able to bring a video camera, though im not sure what the memory and everything is.

steve- im bringing the midpipe that you gave me to your shop tomorrow, i remember you said you wanted to tinker with it a bit, if you dont want it let me know otherwise ill just toss it in my trunk when i head down. or if anyone else wants it let me know, im just lookin to get rid of it. i have no room for that and my oem cat.

 

Sweet, I forgot about that pipe. Bring it down.

Well, there will be now way everyone can fit the the back bay. So, just park in front. Look for the red bronco!

 

alright sounds good, steve is this the same place i was at last time when it was just me you and jon? and what time is everyone headin down? like mid morning?

 

Same plant, different location in the plant.

Just give me a call when you guys get here.

 

Amazing today. I mean, wow.

Thank you everyone for coming down here and working your collective asses off on the donor and even my car.

I thought I had lofty goals of getting the engine trans and steering rack out. . . but with the team we had and the tools, the car is 90% disassembled!

All the remains really is a fused power plant frame, and the rear dif parts and some suspension components. Amazing.

Thank you all again for all of your help and donating your Sunday to come down and help me out.

 

No problemo...twuz fun.

AGAIN! AGAIN!

 

sorry i missed it guys, something came up and i had to go back to toledo, and on top of that i got in trouble by the highway patrol on the way back for speeding and my exhaust being too loud = / what a bunch a crap. looks like i missed out on a fun day though. haha and on the way to toledo i snapped my clutch pedal to = ( i knew it was breaing cuz its made that bad squeaking noise for a few months but it broke today which sucks. i gotta figure out how to fix it

 

Good thing the ebrake is pulled on the donor so it doesn't roll away.

 

I ordered the fuel pump opener this morning. Should be here this week. My contribution to the pizza. Thanks for the hospitality and learning experience Steve.

 

I think the clutch pedal may still be in the Donor. Have to go inspect the damage that the interior cleaning crew did on it. Bunch of chop shop wolves in sheep's clothing.

 

From what I could see of the bracket yesterday while disconnecting the brake pedal for Megan it looked ok. She would have had a better look at it though.

 

Well, I would weld it up before selling anyway. No problems with any of the clutch pedals we did last year.

Doc's, Jon's, mine, Ryan's (guess we'll never know how Ryan's does in the long run)

 

If you're gonna setup to do welds again Steve, Lets do the one on my 08 this time too.

 

TJ - Since yours broke you might want to sell it to this person...

https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-parts-sale-wanted-44/wtb-clutch-pedal-aluminum-pad-189887/

 

It should still be covered under warranty. . .

I'd wait until the warranty is up before I worry about it. 3 year Bumper-bumper?

If memory serves, the "foot pad" is welded to the clutch pedal itself. This guy will need an entire assembly to replace his (he probably never looked it closely.)

Or he'd need to cut it off and weld a new one on there. . . idk

 

Not TJ's problem :D

 

I like the way you think.

 

I would even go as far to borrow your plasma cutter just so all they got was the pad. :P

 

Yep, the clutch pedal, brake pedal, gas pedal, headliner, and dashboard are all that's basically left inside the donor.

Some of my blood may be in there too.


Had fun tearing apart the car yesterday, you need to go buy another one so we can rip it apart too.
