By chance would anyone happen to have stock shocks? My 8 is in need of a little suspension refresh after the years of abuse 
Just got slotted/dimpled rotors and hawk pads installed all the way around so this puppy is almost in decent running order. Was planning on coming to the mod day in the 7 to find this vaccum leak but didn't wanna drag it to the other side of town where yall were meeting. LMK

LMKI should be changing the shocks on my Shinka in about a month.. They have 67k on them....
@9k thanks for the o2 sensor changed it out and code is gone....
@shady thanks for the o2socket and 22m wrench the wrench did the trick. If we go to Scott's tomorrow I will leave them with him....

I'm going to start re-doing the wiring in my glove box tomorrow and wire in the fix for the cell light for my seat If anyone wants to see that operation they can stop by. I have a few more parts to pick up for it but would like to get started noonish if the weather holds out.

How much does your car usually go through in that distance? My 8 would only need about 1 quart after 2000 miles. You could barely notice any change after only 500 miles.
Is anyone interested in a Canon Rebel XTi? Comes with an 18-55mm and a 50mm lens. Also a 2GB and 8GB CF card. I have all the accessories and manuals as well.
Just clearing out some stuff I don't need or use enough to keep since I'm moving. Figured that might be something of interest for someone here.

@Mike Thanks I will def take those off your hands. My shocks are currently at 122k and still trucking! But my 8 also looks like its been lowered...and it def hasn't haha. I had to lift the rear fenders to get it on the lift at Mazda last week. Soooo I took my 8 to the 1/4 last night and ran a smoking 16.5 haha. I also have a clogged cat and need to install my new plugs so i'm sure that isn't helping. My first run the announcer said "and here we have the roto rooter!" haha

In other news, I scrape pulling into all the wash bays on base... Might need to bring the ride height up ~5mm in the front and rear. Sitting in my hotel room bored for the remainder of the night, damn Auto Hobby is closed and I have plugs, oil and filter sitting in the backseat. Maybe tomorrow.

Well I did some datalogging on my way back, Mass airflow hit around 246 g/s at 9k. afr was between 12.0-12.3 at WOT.
looks like my baby is doing good! We should have a mini dyno day, once 9k, Houston and hoss are done with their builds. My turbo will take allot longer so Ill just run with where I'm at to see how much HP I lost over the year.

Flying to Portland Oregon on the 28th... Its been 5 months since I saw the "finance", so my libido wins this round... In other news I met Hoss and 9k tonight and got "learned up" on 8's. Looking forward to a lot more schooling in the future. Way cool to meet down to earth tuners in the local area. Looking forward to this weekend.

Yeah yeah, I'm learning the 'Texas lingo' slowly... I'll have to pop into that thread and take a look. Off to look at two houses now then hopefully finding a claybar.
I'm down, hopefully my ******* turbo and manifold get here or otherwise it's no Texas8 for me.
