Guys,
I was wondering if there are any Tech Days in the horizon. Just received my MS springs/shocks today and I need some help installing it.

I am pretty good with tools and cars are my hobby. I have done Miata turbo installs, tuning, transmission, clutch replacements and engine items but I have never done the suspension as I don't even own a compressor. I know I know...

Anyways I am in San Jose... or perhaps someone knows a place that can do it for a FAIR and DECENT price?

Of course pizza and beers will be provided if help is on my way.

Let me know either here or PM me.

I'd like to do this within the next 2 weeks even this weekend, if possible.

Thanks
Carlos

 

Well it seems, based on the posts I have read, that most of the tech places and clubs actively involved on the RX8 are in So CA. LUCKY GUYS! I wish I lived there.

I decided to do this on my own as I don't see it as a big issue.

Thanks anyways...
Carlos

 

check out www.mazdamaniac.com. he has the shop manuals available in pdf format. thats what i used when i did my eibach's and tokico d-spec's

 

if you were close I help you

 

autozone will let you borrow a compressor, but the catch is they keep your license until you return it.

 

Really? I borrowed mine from autozone and they didn't even ask to see my license.

 

I don't think they take your license. They just take down your credit card info and charge you for the item if it isn't returned in 30 days.

 

hm different policy perhaps? my buddy borrows compressor from them all the time n thats what he tells me

 

It's up the AutoZone store manager (I inquired after noticing the differences from store to store)

The "preferred" method is for them to charge you the full amount for the tool and when you return it they just treat it as an item return. (the credit will take about 5 days to hit your credit card)

Hope you're able to post some pictures when you're done with the install. Maybe take pictures along the way? Might make a good DIY.

Good luck
