We've got 11 confirmed but the weather is focking with us, again 70% chance tomorrow, ugh! I can't remember a June this wet -- ever!!!

If we postpone tomorrow, we'll have to do it week after next as next Wednesday is the 4th.

The $5 ones have a dial and the valve so it's easier to bleed excess air.

weather today was nasty, got to drive a bunch of bimmers for charity this morning though. I never understood why those cars cost so much, after driving around in a couple today, I get it now. I also got to drive the Z4 coupe, holy crap that car was a blast, I was halfway tempted to go off the route they send you on and take it down 2222 or something real quick-like I also dropped my car off again, as it's running like crap...again. grrrrr.

woohoo! 12 hour shift. It's like I'm at Sebring.

getting a new engine sometime soon, just waiting for it to arrive at the dealer. I wish they'd give the cash value instead, I'm sure for what it costs to replace, I could get something in there that would do the trick

Haa haa...I know right

What is Engine Brake? I saw some signs are Austin that said No Engine Brake by City Ordince.

that's when the semi-trucks downshift and use the engine to slow down instead of keeping it in gear and using their brakes, when they do that the truck makes a a REALLY loud pissed off "ahahahahahaah" stuttering kind of sound that can be heard from here to Alaska.

I like that sound...

And this week I learned that when you replace your gutted out cat with a resonator (of a different metal compared too the rest of the pipe). You get 4" exhaust tips that are glad too melt anything in there paths... This only awkwardly seems too happen when I keep it in high revs, thus creating more heat for that damned resonator too expand and push my tips up...

I love Agency Powers exhaust, but the tips melting everything is getting too my head...

eviltwinkie

Heh I got a stock exhaust system I could help you out with...

Now THAT's a nice cage...

That's the Mazdaspeed cage ... for RHD vehicles. Wonder if anyone has tried to put it in a US spec LHD one yet.

eviltwinkie

I would imagine it's symmetrical in contact points no?

I bet it would fit...

That's nice enough for daily drivers...I likes...

eviltwinkie

BTW, I dont have my phone...I'm in SA...We can prolly do this during the weekday if you want...

Opethdtr

Progressive or Eibach sways? Hmm....

eviltwinkie

Progress Tech

Opethdtr

I must still be drunk , why did I say Progressive? Anyway yeah Twink I am leaning towards the progress sways. The fact that they are adjustable and are at a damn good price is a big selling point. Now lean like a cholo. Damn I hate that song....

eviltwinkie

Ha, not as bad as...party like a rockstar...t-t-t-totally dude...

car goes in muhnday for the engine swap to begin, man I hope they don't manhandle my car while working on it, having a nice new ding/chip free paint job the last 3 weeks has been nice, even if it's rained almost every day and I can't enjoy it yet :P lol I'll keep y'all updated as things progress, hopefully I"ll be the only gulf region member of this, "club".

eviltwinkie

The dealer diagnose an engine problem?

j_tso

They probably said, "we'll have to stick a V8 in there."
