Austin Install/Maintenance Party
It's that time again. How many people are interested in getting something like this put together? I don't have many things to install but I do have plenty of maintenance to do. On my list ...
Change Oil - I'm switching to RedLine per a recommendation of RX-8 racing team I met a month back. No more RP.
Change Tranny Fluid
Change Diff Fluid
Change Brake Pads (again)
Change Spark Plugs
Anyone else?
Unfortunately I cannot host this. Once the house is done being built I'll host them till I'm blue in the face (or when you get tired of driving to Leander).

I'm guessing it'd be this weekend. Saturday or Sunday. What say the rest of you guys? Free on short notice? I don't want to do it next weekend since it's a holiday weekend and it'll probably be harder to get people to commit.

Whoops ... I got confused. Thought Memorial day was the first Monday in May. haha. Lets shoot for next weekend? May 6th ... though I may be a little hung over from Cinco de Mayo.

sorry, haven't had a chance to call, I've managed to get sick, plus my car is in the shop awaiting a possible engine replacement, it actually stalled in the parking lot Thursday, just quit running altogether. This past week has been hell week, my dog is sick, my good friend and former boss passed away, and my car is being held captive awaiting news from mnao. Guess you could say I had alot on my plate, but since I still feel like utter garbage I'm probably staying home tomorrow, so I'll get some calls going then.

I hear ya', this started a while back though, most notably on our Leakey trip, on the way back my car was sounding and running like ****, so we've tried a number of things and this looks like the last resort, it's a wonder I didn't get left behind that day as hard as my car was struggling.

okay, I'm pseudo functioning today (been sick all weekend...ugh) so I spoke with Les at AudioFx and he said we're down for Sunday, 10am same as before and probably the same drill as last time with the gate.
Shop phone is (512)-832-9055, and feel free to pm me for my cell (or if you need directions etc.) as I'll be there too! See y'all Sunday, I don't know if I'll have my car back yet or not (sigh)

I completely slacked on getting engine oil ... again. I'm such a lazy bastard. haha. I'm going to call around tomorrow to see if I can find some red line oil in town. Otherwise I'm just going to buy some synthetic from an auto store. I'm not tracking it anytime soon.
