I like the whole idea. I won't have $$ for any of those mods, but a demonstration of any/all of them sounds like an excellent experience.

Weather permitting, of course. The way this winter is starting, early march may be risky.

Your right Charles, I got alittle carried away with all of that and I understand what your saying. Is anyone else interested in a mass nitrous install?? Atleast anyone besides me?

I really would love to do the nitrous, but a couple of things that are holding me back.

First is that I am not so mechanically inclined, so if something goes wrong this may be a problem (it is also my daily driver).

Second, there are no performance shops that i know of in the upstate new york area. Which means I heavily rely on mazda service which is good but I am sure they will not be as helpful for something like this.

Third, I am assuming this would have to be removed for inspection? If so, how long does it take so it can pass?

I have many parts that I want to install but cant think of a good location.

Parts list so far:
1. Esperlir Springs
2. AP Pulley
3. RP Supercat
4. Axial Flow Short Shifter
5. Prolite Flywheel
6. Clear Corners
7. K&N filter
8.
9.
10.

All of which i can do at the shop i work for but would rather do it at the same time as everyone else is installing different parts.

i definitely want to get into this!! new jersey and philly are fine for me. i cant offer a place because i live on a small block and i dont have a garage. if you wouldnt mind my friend might want to come with his civic to maybe get an intake done if thats ok with you guys??? i would want to do ss clutch line, ur pulleys, new transmission fluid, new differential fluid, and maybe exhaust because i dont know how ill get that in the car.

thanks charles. if the clutch line would be a problem and would take a while that ill do that another time. i dont want to hog your time for my things and not allow for other people to get their things done.as for the exhaust if possible to do the greddy sp2 and the rp supercat. the car has 3000 miles on it so i cant see the bolts being that rusty. as for the pullies i would want the 3 changed if its not to much of a problem.

i have the rotary extreme intake with a different filter on it and i believe the guy i bought it from already drilled the tube so that shouldnt be too tough to work with....getting 5-6 cars to come wont be an issue for sure....its just weather dependant.....we just need a date and place...

like i posted earlier, i will be more than happy to provide muscle and tools. i am pretty confident in my ability to wrench on the 8 as well as civics, as i have done all the mods on my 8 as well as my 3 previous civics as well as helping my friends with their wrx's, civics, including my buddies 10 sec civic hb.

as for preloading the suspension before tighening, cant you just loosely put all the nuts and bolts in place for the suspension, then lower the car so the weight is on the wheels, then tighten everything that way? thats how i did mine, and i have had no problems.

oh i will do you shocks and springs at the same time, and might do the flywheel at work as well that way my car isnt taking up all the time. And Chrism if you could host this entire thing at your house that would be great. I too will be bring my tools from work with me as well.
