I like diet coke - no after effects - no nights in the lockup - no pissed off wife, should I go on?

 

I'm reposting this cuz I just got done talking & posting with Ray. He may have a mod for everyone by the time he gets here. It's something that you all talk about but don't have. I'll let him do the honors on the announcement (cuz there are a few small issues to work out), my lips are sealed. He may even announce it before he gets here - timing is every thing.

 

Hey guys,
So i ran into a curb the other day and broke off the front air dam....grrrr

So I was thinking about just putting a mazdaspeed front bumper on instead of replacing the airdam.

Any suggestions on a good body shop to have the work done in Henderson?

What about the Mazda dealership on Gibson?

Im very new to the area and have no clue where to go to get GOOD work done for a good price.

I live on Eastern and Windmill, BTW
Love the weather here

 

I do all my own work or have friends help me so I'm a poor one to answer this post but the Mazda dealers in Las Vegas have trouble finding their way to work in the morning. I would not take anything there. Are you able to work with tools? Changing a front end is easy. Look in the DIY section and there are directions for removing and reinstalling the front end. If you do not have the bumper, it may be cheaper to order one on line and have it shipped in (they are very light). Our group is all gainfully employed but if you need a little help (very little from me) - tools or a place to work maybe I can help. Come to our meets and you might get offers of free help for other work you need done. If you interested in the BBQ meet give me or Dominion a PM for directions. If you wish to accept my offer, PM me and we will set something up.

 

dude i hate that delaership, there is a body shop i used to get my wing put on and mx193 got to put his mazdaspeed kit on and they did a nice job. it off the 15 and sahara......

for those of you that dont know me my name is Mike

hope to see a good turn out and hope to see some new faces and 8's.

and make sure you wash your car!!!

 

mike i need to go to the dealership by you i refuse to go to the one on gibson, i have a couple of things that are broke in my car, you know the drivers mirror, not the rear view mirror, the one above the driving seat, well that ******* broke on me the other day and now i keep banging my hair on it and its messing it up. not cool
and then my iron fist wife broke the centre thing with the cup holders yeah she shut it and then broke it, i felt like kicking her out the car, but i waited til we got home and beat her with the frying pan instead.
Anyone know how much these super mods are going to cost

 

The visor will be covered under warranty if you still have one... I have broken mine a few times.... Not sure about the center console..... Good luck....

Mike - Who do you recommend at Mazda??? I need to get some warranty work done and I am afraid to go back to the dealership...

 

Me thinks it's a good thing your wife does not read these posts - that frying pan would be permanently embedded in your head Look in the TSB lists and if that mirror is part of the sun visor it should be replaced under warranty. The center console also has a couple of TSBs on it. If Mikes guy is cool he may get both of them replace under warranty - You are still under warranty are you not??

 

if she read the posts id hit with the frying pan again shed learn

i dont think im under warranty still, i have done 24000 miles and its an 05

 

 

Did you not get the letter extending your warranty??? I thought all '04 - '06 8s got the letter extending the warranty to 50,000 miles. I got one but a lot of good it does me. Well maybe with Mikes friend, I could get the visor covered if I needed one. Have his friend run your vin in the computer - it may also have the extended warranty - it can't hurt to try (unless you have money to burn).

 

Phil do you have the web address for the company you got your carbon fiber piler covers from?

 

No I did not keep it but the guy is selling on ebay now for about the same price.

 

What's up fellas. I wish I could meet up with you guys this coming weekend, cuz I work weekends. My days off are tues. thru thursdays. Hey Mike, I own a 2004Lapis blue Mazda 6 and a pearl white 2005 Mazda RX8. I love Mazda's. Looks like, we have something in common...MAZDA MANIAC.

I may not make it to the meet this coming sat., but, next time, I will try to make it just to meet up with you guys. Just take some pictures and next time, I will be in the BBQ, w/ my wife and 2 kids (of course). She might think I'm...you know. Check with you guys next time and enjoy...ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM.

 

see we should def have a meet on a tue night, this is the third person who cant meet weekends.......please

 

Yeah, everybody listen to DonJuanMair. Thanks for looking out bro.

 

Thought that was only for the drivetrain/engine being extended to 50k.

 

hey guys, quick question for u....i recently ordered the hks racing suction intake from lazi. i was thinking that once it came in id fabricate a kind of vent that would direct cold air from the grill/front bumper in front of the radiator to the intake box.would this more or less give it a, "cold air" intake type upgrade.

the thought came to mind when i saw this DIY for cooling brake rotors with an air duct.

it would be similar to the ducts in the picture yet they would be placed within the front air dam. any idea if this type of thing would give the effect of me cutting a hole out of my bumper for air to flow, but without actually cutting the hole in my bumper?r?

 

no probs, where do you work then for you to have a weird schedule like me

 

btw, im gonna repost this in the tech area to see what everyone els things also.
