btw location and time?? interesting enough that i have no idea there is a bc rx8 club...LOL
let's come out and autoX sometimes together so get like 20 rx8s

 

We're trying to get a place with a hoist... StefYVR is trying to set us up with something. So location is still to be decided.

In terms of tools and parts, please bring everything you can.

And remember to dress to work!

 

so no one knows about installing side aero flares?

 

OMG BCRX8 members have been busy posting pretty much dominating the Canadian forum and have had dozens threads with hundreds of posts, where have you been? Well now that you know, spread the word.

We just formed BCRX8 up in spring so we haven't had a chance to make it out to autoX events yet. Next season for sure though.

 

lol..THANKS Burnaby 8. there are SLUSH Series if you are in for some cold action just on the day after this event.

 

keep me updated for the Pitt Meadows events. it's close to home than BB.

 

go to the UBCSCC website
here
http://www.ubcscc.com/
they have all the events.. i think its the 28th for their first of the slushes.

 

I would like to get some side strakes installed but sadly I don't have any at the moment =( I'll come to watch tho.

Terrypk1....What type of suspension........Time for install will depend on what it is....

 

it's JIC type 2.
yeah that something i was thinking over as well.
it seems impossible

 

I would like to propose we tear apart my drivers door, and figure out how to remove the disarm function from the door lock mechanism.

I got my door, and I'll risk my warranty. I want my car to have a chance next time.

 

JIC install will be about 2 hours...less on a lift with air tools

 

that sounds like a good project for another workshop in itself. Maybe we should wait a bit on that one to make sure we know what we are doing. Non of us have attempted this before so I'm guessing that it would take up a lot of time. Once we know what we are doing with the fix for this then we could all do it at the same time. I think we should keep things simple for this mech workshop though. what do you guys think?

 

yeah... maybe just stick with stuff that people know how to do... (like the suspension install). I think this kind of exploratory work should be saved for a workshop titled, "Let's Figure Out How To Do It Together".

 

thanks Dannobre...so can we have an update of time and location and also some of the things that we will be seeing before the end of thursday?

 

I've updated the original post with the event time (11:30am).
The location will only be disclosed to members of the BC RX-8 Club.

Looks like we should be able to get around to installing your suspensions... And maybe one or two other items on the list.

 

So the location of the workshop is in Vancouver.

I've emailed the exact location to all the BC RX-8 members who have signed on to attend the workshop. Please let me know if the email didn't get to you.

 

1) him - Replace Motor Oil & Oil Filter / Replace Fluids
2) Gyro_Bot - Replace Motor Oil & Oil Filter / Replace Fluids
3) burnaby rx-8 - change brake pads (if time)
4)Rotor8 - Replace motor oil & filter /fluid, and change to all-season tires (if time)
5)thumb - I have a CAI to install if there is time-some LED lights if there isn't
6)terrypk1- suspension/ brake fluids. i have the suspension on hand.

Okay Burnsy. I emailed you the location. Let me know if you didn't receive it.

 

IMPORTANT
does anyone here have air tools and spring compressor? Otherwise i won't be able to do much with the suspension.
Dannobre are you coming this weekend?

ok...guess i will just show up with the parts and help for the best.
CYA ALL TOMORROW

 

Shouldn't need air tools...I'll bring my electric impact gun...should be more than enough. Bring a jack...we'll need two

 

THANK YOU FOR REPLYING MY MESSAGE.
thanks.
btw, didn't you also have the JIC FLA type 2 ?
i believed a long time ago, i messaged you and asked some questions on it.
thanks

 

I did/do....swapped them out for KW's

 

Again, want to reiterate that this is a members only event. No exceptions. Sorry.

So anyone who shows up and is not a member yet MUST become a member. Otherwise, you will be asked to leave.

Sorry to have to be a hard-***...
