the guy at autozone said "nice car" to me which turned into a short conversation. he told me someone had come in earlier with an rx8 and said "i wonder what these triangles are for on the front and the back"

on another note. right next to autzone on central i always see a blue rx8. is this anyone?

Today, we'll see how work goes and I'll call if I can. My car is not very modded. I have a complete ap exhaust, rims, I have coilovers but they are not in the car b/c I sent the front two to get repacked/I have stock ride height and it's driving me crazy!. My next thing I'm saving up for is a cobb from mazdamaniac.

whoops. i meant Reynolds lol. i saw you pulling out as i was pulling out of autozone. i had to get a new bulb because my brake light wasn't working. my running lights would come on but it would never get brighter when pressing on the brakes. funny enough i changed the bulb and all is well.

did you guys end up doing the Clutch B. install? How was it? I ended up in the middle of bfnowhere with a blown transmission in my p.o.s. Morgan Olson work truck.

no one knows how to read a map of follow instructions anymore. I ended up having a 15 hour work day. at least it was gorgeous out, and I had a big jug of lemonade.

it took about 3 hours for 2 and a lot of cuts because the is not a rounded edge on the pedal or bracket.. we had to open up a few hole to get everything to line up. skip step one, then put the outside bracket on with the long bolt and drill through that it will help you line up better. but its not quite as easy a perdicted though i may have f'd myself thinking that way. i dont even know the improvements yet because i havent driven the car. al said it took the slop on the pedal away

I'm pretty sure you put it where the gasket is.
I am 99% going to the rx7store meet in July, I took th whole weekend off, so if any of you guys are going maybe we could caravan. I don't know anyone else that's going from Windsor/Detroit.
