Link: https://www.rx8club.com/sevenstock-archive-186/sevenstock-14-friday-night-222995/


Post up n' come out! Even if you're not going to race - just come out n' hang out

Figured some of you out-of-towners would want somethin' to do before 7stock.




p.s. - "Hokage" liscense plate =

 

If my 8 is running, my plan is to go to Seven Stock. Since Sephyobessed has posted that she will wear a costume that is inappropriate and scandalous I intend to stay up past my bedtime to see that.

 

inappropriate and scandalous? where do i sign up!? haha. Probably not making it this year.

 

shout out to Mike, bad **** R3 you got there

over the last couple of weeks we have had 6 of the V 8's among us. Thats pretty darn cool. Must look awesome when there are 9, 10 12 rotaries rolling into the Fuku meet spot togther it's like we are invading lol. For anyone not sure what the deal is with Fuku it's a gourmet burger truck and imports from around the valley gather there.

 

Phil: hope to have you down for sevenstock! It'd be great to hang out again

13x: i'm assuming you're already going to 7stock but are you going to k1??

and yes...the event will have plenty of eye candy for all

 

Phil: IF your car is running?
don't make me go to AZ and crack the whip...

 

Sure intend on being there, as far as Friday night we usually kick it and get our drink on lol but awaiting more info as of course things are changing this year

 

Hey guys and gals, how's everyone been? I'd love to go to sevenstock! Unfortunately, my car does not want to start. I've tried deflooding it and it would turn over with the aid of starting fluid and die immediately.

Any suggestions?

My next step is to pop start it. That always worked for me with motorcycles.

 

abby where the heck you been?

hmm sounds like a fuel issue, where abouts in town are you??

 

Hey!

I've been busy....was gone the entire month of May so I missed WHiV. Got a goofy work schedule so haven't been able to go to any Friday night meets either, unfortunately. I'm over here in Henderspun. Are you thinking it's a fuel pump? Is there a way I can check that? Thanks for all the help. When in doubt, ask the experts, right

How's everyone been doin?

 

I have my spare fuel pump out on loan so I can't help you if that is the problem. Our fuel pumps are problem children and prone to failure so.....


Anyone going to SS14?

 

note there is the monthly friday meet and the weekly Thursday

 

Hey Ray, I was really trying super super hard not to call you this time but, I need your help.

 

everyone meeting later?

 

can't make any promises I am up to my eyeballs in crap but shoot a text

 

I beleive there was talk to hit Wide Wheel Wednesday but am running the oe rims on my car right now so will pass lol

 

how's everyone doing? it's been a while, today i finally start work in my car so i can take it to the dealer,

phil i got your fuel pump, i can drop it off any day, just let me know when you will be home

i don't have class this saturday, so if anyone is doing anything at the garage i would stop by to hang out

 

Car is being put back together today. Fricking $12 part kept her from working. At least I don't need a new tranny or clutch. Brandon and I did most of the work but Ben had to use a hydraulic arm to separate the transmission from the engine. And after all that the stupid pilot bearing was the issue. Putting in a new throw out bearing just to be sure.

She'll be back on the road tonight and ready to hit the meets again.

 

Sounds good, I couldn't see how you needed another clutch, again, pita but the bearing is a bunch cheaper

 

Yeah I really couldn't imagine how another transmission might had gone either considering I had no issues. Trust me, I am glad it is finally the stupid cheap solution. Just kinda sucks that such a tiny part caused the car to be in the garage for so long.

 

Oh Phil, I'll have your tools back to you this weekend. Thanks for the loaners!

 

I think my engine is about to go. i have 86000 miles, you think they will give me a hard time at the dealer?

 

Dealer was great about giving me a new engine and I was around your same mileage. Go to the one up north, they don't give you too much of an issue as long as your car fails compression. They never even asked me for oil change history.

Things you want to have good before you go. Coils, wires, plugs and cat. If those are bad then they will want to change those before they can declare the engine failed. You can do coils, plugs and wires yourself pretty cheap. If your cat is bad you'll need to find a good one. You might be able to borrow a cat for the purpose of the compression check but you'll really want to find one for yourself because you don't want to put a bad cat back on the new engine.

Good luck!

 

the one up north dude, that one has closed down now right? thanks for the response though!

 

Uh no, it hasn't closed down. Just got my engine a couple of months ago. Courtesy Mazda up north closed, not Centennial. Thanks for reading the response though!
