Hey - PM me and let me know how much you are renting those for, since I need them too, I wouldnt mind splitting the cost with you, I'm assuming you have springs to do as well?

 

I already have sat radio in the ash tray, however i'd like to modify the ash tray so i can actually close it over the radio so it would be hidden from view when I park. A little grinding with the dremel tool is all it would take, but those things are a pain in the *** to get in and out so I'll probably order a second assembly and work on that.

As for the trunk, I need to do a cover for my amp because my trunk is currently unuseable.

 

Allow 1 hr per wheel. Usually in sets, front and rear. I got driveway space too so we should be able to get everyone in. plus there will be lots of help.

 

Do I need to bring anything to do an exhaust and intake?

 

Yes -- a non-refundable deposit of 100 dollars needs to be given to me (pssst dont worry ill split it with you 50/50 Jenkins)

J/k -- for an intake and exaust, basic hand tools should do the job really. I would suggest some liquid wrench for some of those *** tight bolts and stuff from the factory.

 

^^ yup... taking of you exhaust for the first time will definetely be a b*tch. Then again we have farely new cars (max 3 years i guess?) so it shouldnt be toooo bad. Trying getting suckered into helping your friend take parts off his 93 Nissan... OMFG that was bad.

 

well -- when i tried to install my RP Supercat on my own at home (had all the tools and KNEW what to do) i just couldnt get the damn bolts loose, so bad it brok two wrenches. i just didnt have any liquid wrench... i had to pay stupid meineke like 50 bucks or some crap to put it on.

 

Ok I will make sure to bring some with me then, Thanks

 

I think we used WD40 the last time we did this...

 

WD40 is so cool to play with, I love the fact you get a badass flamethrower if you ignite the stuff while spraying it.

Yes I'm a pyro, leave me alone

 

just some lube and you should be good.

hey guys I have a question... my front and rear mazdaspeed strutbars they look really easy to install I just need to get a torqe wrench it seems... my question is: say I were to install them myself this weekend? *NEXT* weekend would I have to take them both out to install the shocks/springs? if that's the case I'll just wait and do everything at once to save time out in the hotass sun, but if its possible that installing the front and rear strutbars will not "mess up" the installation of the shocks and springs I'll go ahead and do it.

Just curious

 

I would wait to install the braces till you do the springs/shocks. Shock tower braces usually sandwich between the nut and tower. You don't have to wait but it's just easier to work when the braces aren't in the way.

 

thanks

Guys - I have a few smaller things in my 8 that ya'll may want... like led's inside the cabin, extreme white lights in the rear, stealth bulbs, white/blue parking and fog bulbs. I'm also going through my stash of stuff and bringing that in case anyone needs anything. I know there's a push start button in there that I'll sell for $20 if anyone wants it. I opened the package but didn't start the install.

 

I may be interested in a couple items then. If I had an MT, I'd be all over your pedals, but seeing as I'm lacking one (being an AT), and i'm not certain they'd fit up properly or not, I guess that's kinda mute.

 

Dazy, are those extreme white lights for the reverse lights? if so i'll take them and hand you a set you can use to replace them with (if i can find em).

Thanks!

-hS

 

They're extreme white stealth bulbs. If you've got some to replace them, they're all yours!

Sigtao - watching/helping - ? keep forgetting him :P

 

Sweetness... i got some bulbs at home that will work.
Thanks Dazy!!!
(BTW, do you have any pics of these reverse light bulbs in action??)

 

If anybody wants my Engine Cover, let me know.
I was gonna cut it to work with the Turbo Setup.. but its too late now, and I dont feel like having this thing take up room in my suitcase.

 

what other goodies might you have daisy girl?

Did you say you had some stealth bulbs for the front corners available? If so im interested, i have that light "egg yolk" look going on at the moment with my clear corners.

I'm always on the lookout for cool trinkets to add to my car so let us know what you got that you need to get rid of :D

 

I'll get the wifey to make some of her soon-to-be-famous oreo truffles. So put me down for that.

Also, I got the racing beat screens to install, which I might save for the party if it's not too much trouble.

yay and tomorrow my euro vacation ends and I go home to USA! Can't wait to drive the 8!

 

I'll be there to help with tools, don't really have anything to install at this point.
