All right guys & gals.. Wednesday is the cut-off for signing up if you want food. The final count at end of day tomorrow is what I will be planning for in regards to the amount of food. If you sign up after that, you can still come on out but don't expect to be fed! (unless there are leftovers).

Alright guys, my cars at Mazda, I expect to pick it up tomorrow, if not then Thursday for sure... ugh and I had to buy new tranny fluid because they are going to get rid of my brand new Redline MT-90... so I drove down the street to Rotary Performance in Garland and bought some idemitsu 75W-90 Tranny fluid, which is just as good if not better... so, I will update y'all shortly...

And if anyone has a good pump, I'm gonna need to do my tranny fluids again, or I suppose I can fill through the shifter, but yeah

Through the shifter is so much cleaner...I have a pump that we all used last weekend, but it was messy (for me) having to clean the pump off before I would put it down. If it's just one car, I'd do it through the shifter.

That's what I was thinking... Did you pump it through the hole or just pour it using a funnel?

Its all good, im gonna be late because I have to take the ACT... so dont eat all the grilled food before I get there LOL.

As for the update on my car: Town North Mazda replaced my 5th gear and the Eccentric Hub ring and I believe synchro. I pick up the car tomorrow!

Also I got my Racing Brake ET-500 brake pads in today as well as their SS brake lines and my 2 liters of ATE Super Blue... Im pumped for the install...

Hey Joe do you think it would be good to start this around 12 or 1 since we have many people, including myself, busy in the AM?

As for everyone else sounds good, we will help y'all out. BDC I sent you a message on Facebook, not sure if you got it but bring some tools for brake bleeding thanks man

I say just leave it as is. Those that want to show up early can, those that want to come later, that's cool too. I'll plan for lunch being around 1 to compensate for those coming in later. I'll be there all day....
