Yup it really seems to be. I have my OEM intake still, stored at my cottage. But I think I am going to swap MS CAI for the jetstream one, seems good for the price, performance (being the same as others) and sounds. I need some sound, stock is boring

If you need a hand let me know, I will be around till 2 when I am going to scarb mazda for maintenance. But I am a bit sick still so I wouldn't know until the morning to see how I feel.

We should have a comp...Footman and Gecko (Footman's car) vs. Rev and I (Rev's car) and see who can get their cars bumper off the fastest hehe. I say 30min tops

 

^...you dont want to race me.....takes me litterally 5 - 10 minutes to get the bumper off. Andrew and I installed his CAI at rpm meet in 15 minutes.

 

Justin are you coming down in the 8?

 

Think we could pull the pulley off at Scarborough Mazda?

 

damn man you have some fast hands then, cause there are enough screws to undo. Is your nickname Flash or something?!?!? lol.

 

it's really not that hard to remove the front bumper... we did it last year at one of the mod meets in about 10 -15 minutes.. not having washer fluid spew all over the place is another story..

 

I just took mine off and swung it to the passenger side leaving the washer fluid hoses connected. Easier

 

lol... yeah... I guess there's always that

 

From experience, needed two vice grip clamps (one on each side) to clamp the fluids. I'm almost empty on my tank, and it didn't fill it up because I'm anticipating the install on Saturday.

I've only assisted in removing the bumper once or twice, but I have studied the online video for the rx8 bumper removal. I watched that **** like 4 - 5 times already so that I have the location of the bolts/clips memorized.

Gecko, what time you coming on Sat? I have the intake now, I just have to clean it tonight and make sure the screens are good inside.

You have my cell number right?

 

haha...nope never said it was hard...just enough little stupid screws. And I laugh at you Canadian models and your washer fluid for your HID :-p

 

No, I am comming down in the mazda 6. The pulley is on the car for good. I dont have the time to get it off without ruining it and its not worth the hassle to be honest. Jay do you want these winter rims?? Saturday will be your chance to get them. I can have them off and ready to go by tomorrow. I NEED to know tonight though and I need a meeting spot and time we can meet you. I dont want to go thru all the hassle we did trying to find a date/time when we were trying to get you down here for the pulley. So again, my appointment is at 1 to se the car...I will be there for a bit. Andrew, I am talking to my wife tonight about stopping by.....I am assuming my time will be limited anyways, but if you can get the bumper off I can help with the stock intake install. Jay let me know!!!

 

I can get the bumper off. First time doing it by myself, hopefully my studying of the video pays off... so you want me to pop the bumper off and just wait?

 

I have no cell phone reception in my underground parking eh? So we need to determine a time you will stop by ASAP. I can't take the bumper off and leave it sitting there unattended for too long; cause I have to come up and get cell phone reception so you can call me when you have arrived so I can get the parking pass for you to come down.

 

What time are you gonna be at Andrew for? I start work a 10 on the Sat. But I live in Markham, where a this car your seeing? I can either meet you at Andrews prior to, or you can drop it off at my house.

 

the car I am seeing is in markham......so if that woirks for you I can drop the rims off at you house...did you want the extra shocks and coils as well?? My meeting is at 1pm so how are you going to pay me? and does that mean you do want the rims??

 

Hey,

so I may have to bring my daughter down with us.....which will mean I wont have time to help you....but here is what I am going to do. Tonight or tomorrow am I will remove my stock airbox completely and reinstall it step-by-step for you and post pictures.....and if you send me your e-mail via pm i can e-mail them to you. Anyways, I will know by later tonight if I can stop by.

 

Jay,

I will check back by 9am tomorrow morning. What I need from you if you want these rims is : Where you want me to drop them off, the time that works for you ( 2 - 3pm should work well for us ), How you are going to pay me, and the addy of where you want to meet and if 2 - 3 pm works for you. I need all of these details by tomorrow am or I am not going to dismout the tires from the rims. hope to hear from you.

 

I pm'ed you my email yesterday...

 

^ yep i got it...will send you the e-mail by tonight.

 

sent you a pm Gecko

 

No issues yesterday, car was outside all day, even drove out farther for the Mazda 3 La Paloma meet, (those guys are insane for doing an HID install outside in the parking lot), drove back, and she starts up fine.

 

The morning winds dried everything up.. so despite it being cold, no problems.... because the key word here is DRY.
