^^ honestly liyan, there's no need to disassemble. just lube it up with a can of penetrating oil. it is most possibly the pedal assembly.

i know its a pain to get that wd-40 smell in your car, so find a less funky lube. and if you find the exact location... replace with white lithium grease(usually used for hinges and such, odorless).

remember to remove the floormat.

before performing the procedure, check the rod is free of binding by sliding back the protective rubber boot if there is one. occasionally this may also contribute to some problerms...

 

Already tried it.

 

liyan stole my clutch pedal!

 

I did it in record time too!

 

Would the weekend of the 22nd-23rd work better for people for the drive?

 

Hey.. I moved to Pasadena a few months ago now, but I left my 8 up north in the garage....making trips in the Chevy as I moved down.... I miss it so much.. I am looking for a good repair shop down here as I think the rear end is going out. any help would be cool.

Cheers.

 

welcome tek. there are a few rotary only shops down here... try neptunespeed, or RRR (rotary reliability and something), mazdatrix, or JRX just to name a few.

ask around for those shop locations when u make it down for the meet. not sure if you have a warranty fix or ? depending on mileage and year i guess, huh?

 

well liyan, sorry i couldn't be of more assistance to you.

but i'll tell you this. thats a nice new avatar you have...
wasn't that from the drive we went on???

i lost the map, so i don't know where that was...

 

Richard, the road is Yerba Buena.

So what do you guys feel about the date? Which one is better?

 

either one works for me

 

Clutch noise is gone! Story to be posted later.

 

sweet! so the holy water worked, eh?

 

zoo,

i finally put in the brake lines... and let me tell you, i knew it would feel better but i wasn't expecting a wow!

it feels better on a 1yr old car versus lines on a 10yr old car that for sure. can't wait to get the clutch line in...

what such nice mods for so little. this is gonna make me say sham-wow for a while!

so just lay out the date and plan for the drive... i'll be there if all else allows me. you know my situation.

 

JIC RX8 time attack car? There should be one at Buttonwillow this weekend. Any of you guys know anything about it?

 

nope. never heard or seen of it. turbo? 20b?

 

Looks pretty sick imo. I think it's turbo'd. There are no details from JIC's blog except that they're at BW testing. Considering it's a time attack car, I'm almost 100% sure they used some form of FI. Anyway, I'm off to Mira Loma for the weekend, see you guys next week.

 

Who's all going to be at the meet tonight?

I'm going to try to get there at a decent hour this time hopefully...

 

great meet yesterday... the rain & loss of In Cafe kinda sucked tho..

Well play monopoly next week if we can find a meet-friendly place to hang out...

 

sigh.. the loss of IN cafe is sad.. but hopefully we'll start seeing sky now haha

 

^^^ Damn that sucks. Where are we going to eat now? Moreover, where am I going to eat now? lol

 

maybe we should start brainstorming ideas of where to go...

Do u guys think in cafe will still be an option?

 

garden seemed ok?

 

garden is cool but parking may be difficult at times.
bacalli is good but parking is limited as well.
"new" in cafe is an option. we can try it out once.
sunday bistro has a lot of parking but i hear its shady sometimes.

that's all i can think of at the moment.

 

Yah but we don't get to all park together if we get there around 11 or 12

 

There's also the Garden or Phoenix in Arcadia. Still, I say we send someone out to try to find a new place. Ideally it'll have plenty of parking, good prices, decent food, and enough seating to fit us all. Cute waitresses don't hurt either.
