Yep that's me. I think i remember talking to your wife about it. Mine needs a bath too, this weather is killing me. Feel free to stop by and say hi sometime. I have plenty of tools and beer (usually) if you need something. If my car is in the driveway or out front, it usually mean I'm home. My name's Kevin.
What have you done to your 8 so far and how you liking it?

No worries on the late reply. I don't miss mid-terms what so ever. So far all i've done is S-techs and an HKS hi-power. I have oil cooler screens and silicone hoses to go on once it gets warmer. I also have another set of wheels waiting for the weather to change again. I plan on getting in some autox this year as well as an HPDE or two, so my mods will all eventually focus around that.
I know exactly where you're talking about it. I saw your 8 buried the other day just like mine was. Any idea who owns the VR that's always parked on Morrow and Rockland?

No idea, I saw it the other day going while going for a run and thought the same thing.

Seems like we have more than a few people in the area so we should be able to get a meet going once the weather warms. Looks like I'll be heading back to work in a week or so, I am hoping that I just shoveled my last driveway before then.

I have Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Season tires on now, and they're getting the job done. Obviously they're not as good as a set of Blizzaks or anything, but at least I can slog through a little bit of slush now.

Ouch slvr, that sucks. I am very fastidious about never letting my bumper scrape the snow, especially when backing out of parking spots. When I was out shoveling out from behind my car the other day, my neighbor hopped in their car and just gunned it to back out. The sound of their bumper scraping across the snow and ice was excruciating. That's a really good way to remove your front bumper from your car if you're not careful.

Parked by a WB downtown in the $3 lot off Central. Has snows on it. Anyone here?
kwikslvr, that sucks. Rotoryfx has the plastic screws for $3 a pair i believe. I'm sure kings or wyler will have them as well.
chiefmg, so you finally got word from work? How long will you be gone? We'll have to get a meet together when you get back.
YeahYeah, Doesn't it suck to see your car with that much snow?
brad, The BHR coils and the short shifter are on my to do list as well. Just need to convince my wife that they are necessary. We're moving in April, but not too far. We'll all have to get together once the weather clears up some.

I haven't gotten the official notice from crewing yet (they are always slow) but a guy currently on the ship said they are talking about having me join right around the end of the month. I'll be gone 3-4 months depending upon how well they are able to get their scheduling of reliefs done. Gonna miss my first wedding anniversary, but at least I was here for Valentine's Day.

Yeah, she's not too happy but dealing with it. One of the disadvantages of my job.
Didn't make it out yesterday for various reasons. Did finally get busy today and got my rear axle on the 7 freed up (three hours freezing in the garage in spite of the warm temps), as long as I can coax her into running for more than 10 seconds I'll get her over to storage in the next couple of days. Still have to order those adjusters for the D-Specs for the 8 too. Oh, if anyone needs it I now have a .pdf file of the Tokico instructions for them.

Received the spare tire mount kit today, install probably tomorrow. I can't say for sure until the wife weighs in if she likes the spare tire mounted, but I might have a Mazdaspeed rear strut bar for sale. I'll keep you all posted, want to give first crack to locals.
Should have space in the garage now for the 8, moved the 7 yesterday to my storage. Got it there just in time as it looks like one of the oil cooler hoses failed. I spent some time today cleaning up the oil on the floor of my unit.

I plan to take advantage of the weather and get my plugs, OC screens and new silicone hoses installed all while getting my summer wheels painted. My wife is off this weekend so i finally get to spend time with her as well, so probably no meet up for me. Fuel on Saturday will probably happen though since she'll be sleeping in most likely.

Hey Guys,
Haven't been on here for a LONG time. Let's just say, I had a rough last year. I was wondering if anyone has been stuck with this P2070 stuck SSV valve before and nows how to fix it. If anyone know of or nows how, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
P.S. Congrats Moete!

if you are planning on doing it, let me know, if im free i'll lend a hand. also the way to prevent that issue is by installing an oil catch can. so after you clean it, pick up the ebay special catch can for like $12 and you'll be good from there out.

Just watched the vid and it looks like a bit of a pain, but i've seen worse. It doesn't look like much more than a few hours work though. I may go ahead and clean mine when i do my new hoses, thermostat, coils, plugs, wires and oil cooler screens. I may do this next weekend depending on weather. I'm moving the first weekend of may, so i'll be losing my driveway and small *** garage. If i do mine that weekend, you're more than welcome to stop by have a beer and watch to see if you want to tackle it yourself. Hell, as long as it's cool with my roommate, you and anyone that wants to lend a hand can swing by and do yours too. I have to work for a bit on the 13th, so i'll probably be working on it the 14th. I'll keep you posted.
