Ok it took me 1 and 1/2 hours to make a lap around my neighborhood that usually takes me 5-7 minutes...
I was getting stuck on leveled roads, not even talking about slightest hills. Agrh silly summer tires.

smitht0789

funny u mention that..it took me 40 min to get back from my bro;s tonight, a drive that usually takes me 15 min..roads were actually really slick! I was avg 15-25 mph on the roads, but i live out off some country roads that get absolutely no attention from the salt or plow trucks..and ya, i dont have rock band, but played it at a friends last night for 4 hours! i hate the drums, but love the guitar and the mic!! haha..

anyone here get thier car serviced at kings mazda? i think ive seen smith0789 there several times.

smitht0789

yeah..kings mazda is the place to go! well thats where i take my car, for all maintainance..plus all my oil changes..is there a reason ya ask? getting something done?

psonoda

I also take my car to Kings. They have a great rate on oil changes. And they are the only dealer in the area with REAL trained people on rotaries. I initially took my car to Sweeny only to later find out that they did not properly diognoss my car. Of course, no dealer is perfect.

Kings is also the dealer that replaced my engine. They for a nominal fee. ($90 i think) installed my lightweight flywheel and clutch at the time of the engine installation. That was very accomodating.

Kings Mazda is the place to go here in the tri-state area. Great place to go and I highly reccomend them to any 8 owner.

Got my Megan Racing Coilovers in yesterday and damn they are gorgeous looking! Cant wait to get these bad boys on and see / feel the difference.

smitht0789

lycanthrope

smitht0789

I had my MPV serviced at Sweeney. My wife doesn't like dealers because they screw up. I told her that that does not happen.

Well...

They performed a TSB on the rear heater hose. When we got the car back, we drove it to Dayton. My kid was complaining that is was too hot in back. We had the AC on full blast but the rear AC was kicking out FULL HEAT.

I asked my buddy that knows cars (He was a BMW master mechanic) and he said some dumb *** forgot to plug the AC controls back into the rear ac. This is a default so that if the control break someone will not freeze to death in a car. I could have done it but, hey they are the ones that screwed it up so I wanted them to fix it.

When I talked to Sweeney, they said there would be a service charge to look at it. I told them that it worked before they worked on it. Then they told me that the MPV might not have come with a rear AC. Well that was strange since it worked before and there was AC CONTROLS on the rear AC. Then they said that it might not have been working. Well, I said, you changed the heater hoses to the rear AC, don't you think they would inspect it before and after?

Finally, I told them they where going to look at the car. It would take five minutes and the service tech would come back with the problem fixed. They looks at me surprised. Needless to say, five minutes later, the tech returned and said the problem was fixed. Someone forgot to replug the controls back in. Really.

Needless to say, that was the last time I went to Sweeney's We have three Mazdas and we make the drive to Kings.

Paul..just seeing if you received my text messages? If not here is what I said..do you have the coil over height measurements that were already on the coil overs that I gave you? You said you used my coulover height for a little while..so I'm just wondering if you wrote those measurements down and if you did can I get those from you for each corner of the car please? Thanks Paul

moete87

iTrader: (1)

Paul, it was great speaking with you today. Could you get those measurements over to me asap please. I want to change the ride height tomorrow since I dont like how the car is sitting right now.

Thanks Paul!

lycanthrope

yea but try scoring a test drive in one of those...the best ive done is c6 z06.

psonoda

Just measured my car. Front 25-7/8" Rear 25-5/8"

As i mentioned, I do plan to raise the car about 1/4" all the way around. I think this would be optimal without the MS front bumper. I will probably have to raise it when I install the kit.

On another note, I wanted to see if other people would be interested in going in with a fender rolling kit. I do not mind handing most of the cost, but then I would want to keep it. Does anyone have any input?

moete87

Thanks Paul! So how much did you lower the coilovers again once you had my set height on? Looks like your car is sitting lower than me.

psonoda

I think it was about 5/8" lower.

Currently, i scrape (slightly)when I enter my driveway straight in. If I raise it 1/4" it will probably clear without scraping.

smitht0789

haha ya theres no way they'd let me..credit checks and prob income statements for that! lol..but anyway.

SOOO i went to Kings Mazda today, got my oil change, and my free car wash..went to the cashier to pay for my oil change, and the cashier woman says "ok its free"..i say..uhh wut? she asked if i bought my car from, there and i said NOPE and she replied "shhh!!" and told me to have a good day! haha..i was in a greatt mood today! i guess if you buy a car from Kings Mazda you get lifetime free oil changes! what a greatt deal.

lycanthrope

free car wash?!? wtf i never got a free car wash!

smitht0789

well you gotta ask for it..i just always say.."how much for a car wash?" and they say they cant charge, and do it for free! haha..try it!

lycanthrope

psonoda i noticed you have tein basic dampers on your car...how are those working out for you? how long have you had them on your car? i bought some for my is300 but ended up selling the car before i could put them on...long story.
