Most of the exhaust gaskets that we use are available at Advance Auto Parts. Mazdatrix carries them in bulk in Long Beach and can have one here in 2 days if you can't find one locally.

sounds like you have the same prob as gary, try switching gas, and adding premix. or you might have a misfire.

Sounds like the exhaust ports on the engine rattling like they should. Search it, Zoom44 posted about this back in 2003

Phil & AJ, had a great time yesterday! We got some work done on both cars, everything went smooth! Phil, got his tail lights re-sealed up nicely, drilled some holes underneath the lights. AJ, got his new coils installed + reset the ECU, so everything is running very smoothly now!

Yea, Very big thanks to Armin and AJ for their help with my tail lights. Jim (Bark) stopped by earlier and we BSd a while.

Reminder:
Anthony, I have your tent

Jason, I have your premix

This should be the last time I post this notice - This time next week we should be out on the lake water sking and drinking beer.

As far as I know, this is the next scheduled meet:

Las Vegas Cottonwood Cove Meet
I do have a party boat & jet ski boat so there would be enough boats for a small group. My idea is to take a weekend consisting of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and clean up on Monday at Cottonwood Cove on Lake Mohave. I would like to keep this among the members only (it could get out of hand).

DIRECTIONS:
For those of you who may not know where Lake Mohave is or Cottonwood Cove are - Just drive toward Boulder City, turn to follow signs to Searchlight (Needles, Laughlin) on Highway 93, turn left at the sign in Searchlight (Cottonwood Cove Road) drive an additional 12 miles to reach the park.

Rules that will apply:
1. If you drink then you can't operate any of my water craft. You can ride but not drive.
2. You must supply your own legal flotation devise (vest or equal) and you must have one to even ride in a boat. Inexpensive ones available at Walmart or Bass Pro Shop.
3. Children are welcome but must be managed by their parents and will wear their foliation devices at all times when in or on a watercraft. Small children are welcome on the deck boat but discouraged from the jet ski boat. Please see rules in main posting.
4. I don't want to be a policeman or your guardian but when using, riding upon, riding in any water craft my word will be law. I don't want any one hurt on my watch.
5. I do have water skis, singles and doubles and all are welcome to use them. Remember that alcohol and water don't mix to well. Your welcome to bring some of your own equipment.
6. Each person attending will supply their own food, drink and camping equipment - I will pay for the fuel to operate all the water craft but may require some assistance filling them up. I will also pay for a boat slip or slips to dock at so daily assistance with the boats will be kept to a minimum.
7. We will have one docking space for the deck boat. Someone could sleep on the deck boat if need be as there is a lot of space on the boat (ask Jason). If there is room at the dock I will park the other boat there otherwise I will need assistance taking it out of the water daily.
8. My partners asked me not to bring the jet skis because of liability if someone gets hurt. So currently there will be two boats available. Jet skis can be rented in Searchlight if you wish.



OK THE DATE FOR THE COTTONWOOD COVE CAMPING, BOATING AND FUN TIME IS SET. JUNE 5,6,7,8,9 ARE THE DAYS OF THE MEET. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE THERE FOR ALL THE DAYS BUT I WILL BE THERE AND HAVE THE BOATS AVAILABLE DURING THOSE DAYS
More to follow on this trip - now is the time to ask your questions.

For those of you wishing to come to the Cottonwood Cove meet, presently the following are available.
1. Dirt camping at the camp sites are on a first come first serve basis. Can't tell if they will be full. If full you can camp on the day beach we will use as our central point but you are stuck there after dark.
2. There are currently 17 spots open for full service RV spots (I will be in one of these in my motor home)
3. There are small motel rooms available for that weekend if you would like. The resort has no internet connection and rentals are only by phone. See WWW.CottonwoodCove.com for phone numbers.
4. There may be a small ($5.00) fee for entering the park. The park service may charge $3-$5 per night to camp at the marina area. All other questions will be answered by PM

Big thanks to Phil for showing me how to check my coils and Armin helping me change out bad ones. It is always interesting to listen to Phil and Armin talk about their 8's and 8's in general. Must sleep now, too much ( . )( . )and (_i_) tonight.

Well Anthony can't go to the lake so I now have a tent that he does not need. It's a brand new in the box three man tent for $50.00.
Too bad - they would have enjoyed themselves. Right now I am not sure who is coming but everyone that shows up will be welcome.
