It's about 30 minutes south. What days do you have off? I work nighshift and have M-W off. It's a pretty crappy schedule :(
My 8 has never been flooded so I'm not quite sure what's wrong with yours. |

Quick question for ya'll. How was it shipping your 8s over there? (If you shipped em and didn't get them there) I'm a little nervous. I ship mine out at the end of the month to Germany. Anything you can tell me that may calm my nerves would be awesome! Thanks :)

they managed to break a tail light, "kill" a brand new yellowtop battery, and burnt my summer tires slick in the rear.....:suspect: |
:eek: That's not good to hear...didn't give me any reassurance lol. I'm shipping at the end of July and getting there at the end of August....so I'm hoping that nothing happens to her.
If they mess up your car, they have to fix it right? :lol: |
I've had better results from shipping from Japan and the US to the German port Bremen-haven. Both of the cars I had shipped showed up with no damage just dead batteries. I just needed to get the cars jumped and they were fine. Both times I went through shippers that my company deals with so the cars came fully insured.
|
I had a friend ship his FC and they fucked up his front bumper. When I shipped my 8 they put a few scratches in my powdercoated wheels and somehow the little plastic piece on the top of my seatbelt thingy came off.
When you get to Ramstein send me a pm and we can meet up. Hockenheimring has a public race day each month and Nurburgring is slightly over an hour away. |
Got another quick question...I've heard they are pretty strict on inspections (particularly tires and brakes)....I'm assuming this is true? The reason I ask is because my tires are on yellow....before I go blowin 1k on tires before I get there, I'm wondering if I can get away with it...?

Any of you guys had to do a compression test over here yet? Any pointers?
|
Location doesn't really apply to compression tests. Just take it to a Mazda dealership or buy the kit to do it yourself.

The inspection isn't particularly strict. It's mostly for aftermarket shit. They do have a minimum tread depth, but I'm not exactly sure what it is. Since you have a new car you really shouldn't have much to worry about.
Well, I'm sittin at 5/32 right now, so I better change em out before I go. |
Well, i found out that my car was running on one rotor. Atleast thats what the dealer her in Landstuhl said. They told me it was my coils and wires were BAD!! Now i just need to order them!!!

I saw an American Rx8 at the Nurburgring this past weekend before my crash. Is anyone here with a KL tag I think it is for K-town?

Black with aftermarket exhaust and stock wheels that's all I could see before it went on the track. |
I'll be taking a friend from the states to Nurburgring on Sept 10th (Friday) so if anyone would like to come along it'd be nice to have some rotary company :)
