8 is down, waiting on a new motor early next year. sorry man.

 

^ sorry to hear that sucks,, I may not make it neither my car is not finished yet front bumper in primer side of car in primer and decided to do my rear bumper yesterday so man I doudt is finished tomorrow

 

at least it has a cozy garage to rest in

 

I will be doing the 5k color run for JDRF in St Pete.

 

You should let me hold your turbo kit while you wait for your new motor.
:D

 

Chris in all seriousness, What happen with the motor?

Are you going to rebuild or just go all new?

 

getting a reman. from mazda. I got a hook up for it. basically I have to do all the work but I have a mazda tech who is going to de-dress my current motor and redress the new one. All I have to do is install it. should all be done for under 2k.

my motor blew a coolant seal. Kyle was driving it while I was in las vegas and he hit a raccoon while driving on a high speed county road. The damage resulted in having the MS bumper repaired and I assume that the impact further damaged an already leaking coolant reservoir cap. This then caused the motor to over heat. I suppose I could get my motor running again but I doubt it will reseat the coolant seal, most likely it would result in further damage. So I am just going to swap motors out and go from there.

 

That's rough Hope everything goes well.

 

Sad to see on Friday on way home. Saw a fellow 8 (silver) that was rear ended on 275 South around 4pm. Looked kinda bad. Hope driver was safe. Sucks especially this time of year.

 

That's definitely sad.
You got your 8's problems fixed?

 

Yea I saw that in Facebook. I couldn't make my car was not done , was painting my bumpers and drive side I should be done tomo and then Monday put back together .

That's a good deal , sorry to hear about the mess . Hopefully on future meet we can meet

 

I need help guys. I'm looking to get my heater fix. I usually leave work at 4:00am, when I get to the car at that time is usually very cold and I can't see a damn thing thru the windshield. I don't have the tools to fix this. If any of you guys would help me out, I would greatly appreciated.

 

So what is going on? any details?

Bad heater core? or it just takes a long time to get hot?

 

I got the heater working again . The circuit board needed more solder.

 

Reminder: Dupont Registry this Saturday February 16. Don't miss it!.

 

Can't make it I have work.

 

That's too bad. I guess It will be just me.

 

Going to Dupont this saturday, anyone else going?

 

I will be the guy on the side of the road with my thumb out waiting for you or Kalen to pick me up
