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 down for hanging out, may or may not have stuff to do, whatever we decide etc. is cool with me as far as location.

Opethdtr

I'm down. At the moment I don't have anything to install but I can help you guys on your installs and hang out of course.

eviltwinkie

Heh...me as always...about that time to actually DO the freaking RP gear swap...

avenger

Anyone else interested? Any ideas on location? Canary, can we have it as AudioFX again?

eviltwinkie

Haa if its at audio FX I am definately down...I need to get my jack stands back...I left them there the last time...

That might be possible, I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what they say, more than likely they'll say yes. Any ideas on what day we'd be doing this?

avenger

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.

eviltwinkie

Holiday? What holiday?

Saturday is out, Sunday may be possible but I'm not sure since it's short notice, I'll see what I can find out.

avenger

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.

eviltwinkie

I'll be able to show of the Simota SRI by then too...now if only I could find a timer or data-logger...

avenger

Any luck with next Sunday? ... the 6th?

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.

Opethdtr

I'm sorry to hear that Canary, you have my condelences. Take care of yourself.

eviltwinkie

What was the year/miles?

04, close to 50k if you're asking me

eviltwinkie

ya...just keeping mental track due to the recent rash i've noticed...sucks man

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.

eviltwinkie

that is teh suk...I noticed that my car is starting after like the 5th crank...I'm starting to wonder if I should change my plugs. Should probably test the coils while I am at it.

avenger

I got a set of new plugs. God they are expensive.

eviltwinkie

My concern is that I'm starting to see a plug/coil issue. I also fear trying to check it as apparently its a pain in the *** to remove em.

Opethdtr

Are you talking about the plugs? The coils aren't that bad but the spark plugs are another matter.

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)

avenger

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.
