You guys want to meet up in McCarthy Ranch, food at Off the Border? I need to be in SJ this weekend anyway, and it's closer to you guys. We can work something out for a little caravan.
This friday may be possible for me. I'm getting the clear bra thrown on so it depends on when they finish that.

I guess we could do it, just that, we would need a place to crash out. I don't know with the baby and all. Maybe I can just leave friday before midnight then and then come back up saturday night.

If any of you guys wanna give me an exact address we can use the tomtom to get there and tag along..

Well, we had thought about it for a while and Mira says she'll like to go. The thing is I'm on a budget now :0 haha

I guess my idea was to leave friday night to meet the SoCal caravan early in the am. I just want to tag along someone who actually knows SoCal because I don't really want to rely on the tom tom for everything I feel blind.

I can just meet you down there and tag along for the caravan...

Fawk, gotta change oil on the RX-8. Need to find the DIY for that or read the manual. I changed the S2k this weekend and it was a bitch since I coudln't get the oil tray under the car....had to find a jack knife because my hydraulic jack wouldn't fit under the car either.

Reward is buttsecks with David.

The Mr2 is similar: It's between the engine block and firewall, just under the exhaust header. You have to feel around for it.

hey, I remember some of you guys did the engine decarb with the Mazda zoom cleaner. I'm about to do it myself. I found the DIY for it, I was just wondering if any of you actually had any tips or things to look out for.
