Yeah, I took out the entire strut and checked the assembly and everything seemed fine - I also made sure to properly preload the strut before tightening the A-Arm bolts.

 

 

 

 

 

robb: which springs?
is the front taller then the rear?

 

pics of zumn's new rotors or they don't exist.

 

oh, almost forgot.....

 

Jedi: yeah man - front's seem higher - don't know why - I fully preloaded them and even took them apart and checked the assembly - everything checked out

 

jedi, theyre on the top of the the previous page!

finally got around to fixing my coils and plugs with the help of atilla and friends!
man it makes a difference!

 

I have bad news for you gentlemen....
the springs are swapped around; you've got the rears mounted on the front. I've ummm.... "SEEN" this happen before.

 

yeah, your idle seems nice and smooth - I'm really jealous of that...

that's also crazy that one of your old spark plugs actually had a crack in it...

 

I suspected this after i left - I didn't bother asking rob

If rob is down...we can try it out...again...

 

oO i know! i feel comfortable waiting at stop lights now!
not afraid my 8's gonna just die on me!

maybe you need to change yours too atilla!!

and that spark plugs was mad messed up! i dont understand how it could of cracked.
defintely can explain alot!

 

DIY FTW!!



heh

 

this happened when we "un-modded" a certain someone's VR a few months back before he sold it.
We accidentally put the damn springs on wrong and we just couldn't get the stupid thing to settle.
The following weekend Ngo took another shot at it, swapped around the springs and BINGO, it was fixed.

It's a simple mistake, fortunately Atilla is a PRO at suspension stuff and LOOOVESSS doing this stuff. (remmeber to reward him with plenty of cerveza)

 

I was like WTF when I pulled out his cracked spark plug...

 

atilla: I still have those "almost new" plugs for you.
I'll trade you for a cerveza and an oil filter removal cap.

 

ALWAYS!!

DIY>$619 at the stealerships!!

 

Jedi: w00t w00t! Spark plugs ftw!!

yeah I'll definitely help him redo the struts...that's gotta be it...because the fronts looked settled but weren't going down any more...I'll hit him up...

 

john, what springs did you say you can get again?

 

whoaaaaaaaa! nik - $619?? for what!??

 

i called browning mazda to find out how much it would cost, they quoted me $619 for new plugs, coils, wires, and labor!

did some research and found that it was an easy enough job to DIY so bought the stuff, and all i needed was some help!

 

oh..........nice! lol

 

yeaaaaaaaah!
so good stuff!

dang i'm bored and not sleepy!
