There was a TSB for excessive heat in the center console and driver's seat. They installed a heat shield to better protect. I thought it was the cat, apparently it is another pipe causing the issue, lucky me.

Earliest I can ever get there is 6:30 on a weekday. I have your gauge pod in the car already. I have the pod in and the gauges in place but just not turned on. Looks great, can't wait to see them actually working.

They will just show you how and where.......It's easy so if they leave early I will have them show me the sensors. You want water temp and oil pressure?

Actually speaking of garages, I need a reputable garage for the work on my Pathfinder. I need belts, hoses, coolant flush, tranny flush and freon. I could do it all myself but if it doesn't cost very much I'd rather just get it done.

If I can't get a decent quote then I'll do it all myself but don't know **** about Pathfinders.

Post up/PM me if you're interested in joining the cruise! CLICK HERE for the original thread and to see who is coming!


Meets, Cruises/Group Drives General Guidelines:

-Respect one another. we are not trying to prove that we are better/faster than one another.
-Keep peeling out/burning out to a minimum please. We do not want to be attracting unwanted attention or giving us a bad name/rep.

Meets:

-When leaving the meet, driving out on the streets and getting caught is at your own discretion.
-Test driving other people's cars: 1) Tearing it up on the main streets, if caught it's all on you. 2) If test driving in the parking lots, keep to a minimum during business hours, for there are lots of cars in the parking lot during those hours. After hours you should be in the clear, but please use common sense, you're still in a parking lot!
-Please be careful, leaving and entering, driving around, we do have kids running around and would not want you to hit any of our cars (just because you think you're a good driver doesn't mean you can't still mess up)
-Respect the place we are meeting at. Please clean up after yourselves. We would not want to lose our meet spots due to trash being left. Good meeting spots are hard to come by.

Cruises/Group Drives:

-Please abide by street and freeway laws as much as possible.
-Know when it's the right time to play, use your common sense and please keep to a super minimum.
-This is not a race! Keep it on the track!
-Please no revving or keep to a minimum, because it can get annoying! If you do don't over do it. (If no revving is mentioned in the meeting prior to take off, for whatever reason, that means NO REVVING!)
-Please keep your distance from the car in front of you, don't be eating the *** of the person in front of you, that's disgusting!
-Please STICK TO GRIP! Keep it smooth and brisk.
-Faster drivers up front, slower drivers in the back.
-LONG TRIPS: Walkie-talkies are very, very highly extremely recommended. (Mandatory for Tri-State/Southwest Mazda Meet: sharing is caring! If you have an extra one bring it) it makes driving together a hell of a lot easier.
-If you see a fellow member needs room to get into the lane, please let them in.
-If you need to get into a lane, SIGNAL! (your signals are there for a reason!)


*NOTE* Failure to abide by these guidelines will result in consequences.


*Let's have a fun and safe time. Afterall, we're all here to have fun! These guidelines are here so everyone can enjoy the time we spend together without getting in trouble!*

Chun: Sorry I left work early and did not see your post.....No he did not show and I fell asleep in my chair so when you called I was in never never land. I will contact a friend and find out if I am correct on the sensors.

Phil: Good luck making one. I took mine out to have a pattern made so that I could make one out of Alum. and it was just to complicated. It can be done just so time consuming it was better getting a new stock one. Don't forget that the sensor has to be part of the unit.

NOTE: Before I sell this item on the For Sale thread I thought I would post it locally for two days. I have acquired a brand new, in the box Cobb AP for the RX8. There is no tune contract with it so you would have to set up with MM for tunes. PM me if interested, I only want what I paid for it.

^^ Phil, you know I want the COBB but you gotta give me more than 2 days to figure it out. I was going to buy a carbon fiber hood here in town and it looks like I need that oil and water switch plate to install my gauges. I am talking to Goose about picking up his.

If I grab the COBB from you too that is another grand I am spending on my car in a short time... Just because I have it doesn't mean I should spend it. If you can give me a little while longer to figure it out. Maybe I'll skip the hood.
