Heavens, you have time to get there and Ryan can just come from work....This is not a dress up place. I am sure we will have a drink or something before dinner and you should be able to make it fine.

Easy, the 7 looks nice.......It appears that it was/is well taken care of. I'll see it in a couple of weeks.

Well only Denzil called (and he call after I left) I gave up around 1pm and figured no one was coming Saturday. I still have the pedal ready to go and If AJ can come by we can do the compression tests also next Saturday (December 12th). Denzil wants a compression test. (all he has to do is point since he has a broken leg)

I guess it was too cold for anyone to come out?

We can do a coil, plug check when ever you want (I'll have to hook up the battery leads this time) and Saturday is just fine. I think you have at least two compression tests to assist on, a clutch pedal change out on Chun's car, and your coil check. That's not very much. Don't forget to bring Armin if he can come.

Gil, what's this about a move to AZ? You get transfered?

It would have been nice to have Courtesy on our side several years ago. They are going broke and now they want us.

Don't worry Armin has been begging me to bring him. Positive is the + symbol right? Hahaha! Dang don't you forget anything that was a long time ago.
Gilbert doesn't want to go to AZ, he just think he does.

having problems to start my 8..

2 days ago the battery died.. i tried to start my car using the jump cable and nothing

yesterday i went to autozone and asked them to charge my battery so the car should work..
when i tried to start the car and it wasn't starting i figure out that it was flooded so last night i took the spark plugs out and try to start without the plugs so the gas should come out, i let the car without the spark plugs the whole night to try to dry the gas that still inside
today i put everything in place and the car still not working..

i think i might still flooded or i have i problem with the starter

what you guys think it might be?
thanks =]

Dude I am a pro at this...your car flooded from your weak battery. It happened to me one time in a photo shoot I left my lights on and the battery died which flooded it when I tried to crank it with a weak battery. You have to do the deflood procedures.

Hold the pedal all the way down then crank it for about ten seconds. Wait a minute to so not to wear down the starter. Repeat about 3 times. Then let it sit there for 15 minutes to let it dry. Then try to start it the regular way. It may take a couple of tries to start it, then when you hear it try to start give it some gas! It will die and you just have to keep trying. It will turnover eventually or...

just call one of us we are close by.

edit: will it even try to turnover? if not then it could be your starter but I doubt it. You need a strong battery not a recharged one. If the battery is just a little bit weak it won't turnover, a buddy thought it was his starter because the radio and lights all worked fine but he just needed a new battery.

Weird Phil didn't post today....

Another RX8 saved! No need for the starter, it's a manual.

The Shinka is back in action!

Phil: I will wake up Armin and little Phil and bring them over, if that is okay with you. Lil Phil wants to check his compression and has a heavy clutch. I'll give you a call when we are on the way.
