maybe... i'll be down in sd preparing for finals but i may need a break.

we'll see. gotta check my rock chip count. dont wanna slow that drive cuz im worried about rock chips.

 

OK so if you guys are intrested i have some Tein S-tech springs for sale local for $125. Thye onyl have about 3 months time on them maybe less, less then 2000 miles. I am gogin to put these up on the forum soon but figured you guys have first dips.

 

 

so all's good i guess rodger?

jorge: im still thinking about it, temecula is way out there, how long's the drive there?

 

Well, the car is far from done.

 

nice rodge..i hope it matches up with the rest of the car..looks good from the pics!

 

Rodger: hope it all comes out perfectly matched. Let us know how it goes and when you get it back. Oh, and remember not to wax it for at least 2 weeks.

 

Wing: the drive is pretty far to be honest. It'll be closer for me but you're looking at a 2 hour drive. Know anyone in San Diego area? you could make a day out of it....

 

I finally made a thread about my stereo upgrade! Check it out:

I -still- havent been on a run in my car and it's starting to bug me. I really wanna go but: 2 hours! X.X We'll see; didn't even make it to that supra guy's meet and that was in town. [sigh]
Off to stereo thread...

 

Update on my tranny: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/no-6th-gear-mazda-replaces-my-tranny-103348/ ok ok i'm done thread whoring, i'll stop =P Only posted it in LAX, Malibu, and B@W threads; is that too much?

 

no way man, 3 seperate threads is the limit. Any more then that and you're officially in 'thread whoring' territory. 3 and under is just considered, 'informing the RX-8 community'

 

awesome! I get to pass under the radar ..... "informing the RX-8 community" great logic

 

Jedi, did you install fans yet?

 

Nope, not yet. I'm trying to figure out how to install them so they don't get yanked off if someone removes the cover to see the amp.
We could always just do it at the next bbq...

 

Did I read BBQ! After Thanksgiving sounds good.

Just saw the pics of your painted 8 Rodger. From the pics it looks great. Can't wait to see the final product at the next BBQ. Mmmm BBQ

 

rasp> the paint job looks great so far. which body shop did u take it to, and did u use your insurance?

 

It's at Caliber Collision in Santa Monica. It was just over a 1000 bucks for the repair; however, my comprehensive deductible is only a $100.

 

cool... let us know how the final job is and how happy u r with their work. $1k for all that is very reasonable, imo. also, i'm curious to know if ur cabin smells like paint afterwards and whether u need to get your air filters changed to get rid of the smell too...

 

Body shop called and said they should be done with my car late today or tomorrow.

 

Good Luck Crakka

 

Whacha guys think about a BBQ this weekend? Looks like Jedi and newcastle might already be up for it and abbid is in town with his 8, looking to hang w/ some 8 people. (see thread)
I feel kinda bad crashing Rodger's house everytime so to give him and his house a break may I suggest we go for a drive? (I'd very much be willing to offer to BBQ @ my house but it's just too small; my old place in norcal was "the party house" but this 1 is just too small.)
Maybe an afternoon cruise and dinner somewhere? Or brunch and drive like the SanBern meets? Any ideas?
Edit: I haven't posted anything in the thread about this so as not to get any hopes up or to speak for any1.

 

My folks might be going out of town this weekend, if so, we can have another bbq at my place. I'll know for sure tomorrow.

 

party at rodges~

 

Crashing Rodger's house again!!! I'll bring MORE beer.
Oh, and since it's becoming tradition to mod something every time we go, I think some fans for my Amp might be in order.
