If it's small enough to go ups and you can send it ground then I do not charge you. We have an account that where we pay a flat fee for ground under 75lb packages so I just throw it in with our stuff (domestic mainly).
Unfortunatly larger packages get charged for. That price is dam good. You will get a tracking number the day it goes out. We use Yellow Freight for domestic and Canada and ship a lot of packages.
Now if you want to ship anything to Canada or Europe, Asia it can be arranged but Customs puts their hand on those items and it raises the price. South America is a problem child. We ship a lot to Costa Rica and it has to go by air - ground will not make it.
Everything you wanted to know about shipping and will promtly forget

Sounds good, Gil. See you at the house.
Phil- I think I need a psychiatrist after all I've been through with the 8 in the last month, the towing company knows me by my first name. I will be up and running by Wednesday we'll come to you! It will be a good test drive on the 215.
Is the design final on the T-shirts yet? I need to bring the design in to get a price quote on the shirts (with pocket). No rush, just asking in case I missed the post.

AJ if you ever need tows please let me or Ray know. Ray has towed Kasumi all over the damn planet and he is cool with it.
Gil, I know the price Phil gave me was dope! I priced out fed ex and ups a few months ago and they both wanted over $200 for shipping. I can get a box for free from Courtesy so I just need to ship it to my buyer.
Phil, I'll check back with you when my buyer is ready. Thanks for the hook up!
Group: I might be in the market to sell off my replica front bumper. I have an inside line on an authentic VR one and would be open to selling mine off at a reasonable offer. Anyone interested let me know.

Worked on the car all day, thought we had it figured out that the wiring harness was backwards which it was. Then took it for a test drive, and all was fine. Then late last night drove it out further and then it backfires and stalls again. Now I have a p0113 (Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input) code. So I swapped the MAF for a good one. Car started up and then went a couple of miles then backfire and stall again. I guess I'll have to buy a multimeter and start looking for bad wiring. Just got back from being towed again and it is damn cold out there in a broke 8, 38 degrees. Won't be able to drive to Phil's after all. 
Phil- I might need that trailer afterall. jk
Chun- Thanks for the offer but you guys live all the way up in Alliante.
I think I'm in over my head on this one. Might have to take it to the dealership.

I will leave work at 2:30 and drive to AJ's home (I know where he lives). I should get there by 3PM and that will give us an hour or so to figure out your paperwork.
Now notice that I am coming to your house at 3PM today.......Don't get stranded anywhere. I am not happy that you are going to the dealer as they will charge you an arm and a leg and screw something else up (maybe). They will for sure remove and replace the coils with stock coils. Ray is not due in town until the middle of January so that is no good. You might PM Ray and explain your situation and see what he says.....
I will see you and Felipe at 3pm today..........................Oh yea I might have a multimeter.......

So I am sitting on the side of the road, waiting with my wife and kids, for the tow truck to arrive, wondering why the **** I would want to keep this car???
Once again she won't ho into gear and I am having her towed back to my place. It's a ******* dark day... AGAIN!!!

I'm gonna try one more thing that this guy tried https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...=1#post3370315 and 9krpmrx8 said, they disconnected the battery. Then I will do as Phil said and start going back to stock coils and see if that fixes it. I hope the p0113 code was just caused by the backfires and everything is okay with the MAF, since I didn't have this code until yesterday. Thanks for stopping by Phil, hope you feel better.
Felipe, do as Phil says and have it rebuilt nice and strong and the just turbo it if you want that extra power or supercharge it if you want power there from the get go. It's the best way to go for now since your engine needs a rebuild anyhow. That's the route I would go, if my engine was going south and Mazda wouldn't cover my warranty, which they probably won't anymore.

I had that issue a long time ago, but it was my short shifter but you have a stock shifter right? Are you sure the previous owner didn't stick a shortshifter in it? The little plastic caps at the bottom crack and you will have a difficult time shifting. Check it out, it's easy to check it. It's a long shot but you can still try...http://www.axialflow.com/ss8_diy.htm
Like I said Gil and I were having gear issues and we changed out the tranny fluid and it was gone. What kind of tranny fluid did you put in it?

When we did the clutch a month ago we topped off the tranny with new fluid. I don't know the brand but it was new. Had the mechanic friend come over and it by our best estimation my tranny went and I need a rebuild or a new one. We are researching my best options, I haven't signed off on getting rid of Kasumi but if I don't have a decent indication that she will last me a while without some more major expenses that I HAVE TO take care of then it is just pretty stupid to keep bleeding cash.

Try Royal Purple trans fluid - last time I looked Pep Boys carries it.
I tried argueing him out of it but he wants to look into it anyway.

I am pretty sure the previous owners didn't install a short shifter. The car goes into gear, she just make some nasty as crunch noises once I finally get her in there. It really seems like a transmission thing.
I need email addresses to send the designs. The tshirt is final. I'll do the mug design today. Hopefully when the meet happens this summer I still have an 8.

Chun just double check, because whoever had your car prior also altered your friction point settings on your clutch peddle. He had it at a drift/quick launch setting so he was serious about it, he could've altered your shifter. We a short shifter goes bad it feels like a stock shifter and crunches. Did Ryan look at it when he took out your trans? I have an extra stock shifter we could throw in.
