I've had that offer before, and almost did it. But, it was with a VR car, and I just decided that I was gonna stick with my trunk w/o the spoiler. IMO, I think it looks better without anything on the trunk.. The only guys with black cars are Phil, but I'm not sure if he himself has a spoiler on the trunk. Jason, has a black car as well but he has the MS spoiler on his, so I don't think he would trade.. And the only 2 other locals that have BB cars are Travis (Deuse) and Tim (Noguni), but same goes with them.. Not sure, if they have spoiler's on their trunk or if they would be willing to trade? Ohhh, I forgot the other member rotarypower88, he also has a BB but he might or sold his car by now and once again, I'm also not sure if he has a spoiler on his car either, or if he would be willing to trade as well.. Hope that helps dude!

Arnin,
Peoples Mazda and I have a long not so illustrious relationship. The service manager is prolific in his ignorance, and apptitude to misrepresent fact.
If they have supplied you competent service it's because I have spent hours dealing with their incompetence and reconditioning their inept attempts at molification.

For the most part, you guys are better off doing mods yourself under the tuttelage of a willing reputable source.

Helping out and advising you guys has always been my MO. A few months ago I added trying to bring you the best prices and some cool BHR stuff, too. BHR's mission statement is "It's gotta be fun or we ain't doin' it right!".

kind of a trick question

youngest member is 4 and has been a member since birth. youngest driver in the karts is 8 and as long as you have a valid U.S. drivers license than you can drive a full size car.

well the 2 other rx8 drivers didn't show up so it was just me with one 350z (2 drivers) in my class and a couple running in other classes.

unofficially pretty confident I took first in class and i think I took 5 or 6th overall out of 80+ drivers.

man it felt great to drive again as I hadn't driven since last nov and that was with my broke toe. Kind of sucks though that my best run included a miss shift to 2nd and a brain fart of not getting it back into first after the miss shift

K could be a few things going on here.
Did you move your car a short distance with out warming it up last night?
Do you have a engine light on or flashing?
When was the last time you changed your spark plugs and coils?
Tell us about your car IE: AT or MT # of miles new used ect. This will better help up troubleshoot whats going on.

No It's not flooded and the battery is strong. Gil's input re: moving it a short distance without warming it up is interesting.

Well, moving the car in a short distance without letting it warm up tends to engine flooding. Also, did you check your spark plugs, you might need to clean the them or replace them..

Not Starting

If you suspect flooding, I don't believe it should stay flooded all day. I have not been able to restart. Accessing the sparkplugs seems particularly labor intensive. It appears that to access plugs I have to remove air ducting etc.

Get to the plugs by going through the driver's side wheelwell or under the car from the same side.
