As I said in the Fb group too, Since I'm not gonna be in the 8, I don't plan on going early to park in the lot or anything so I'll prob just head over there at like 9:30 10ish. I'll look for you guys when I get there and say hello if I see you.

mndsm 04-06-2012 09:04 AM

I'll be there. Don't drive an 8 but if you see a slammed out ms3 with Jackie Chan on the window, some mnmazda stickers and a crazy bearded guy with a child, that's me. Feel free to say hi.

Minnesotan good deal
 
Hey guys, if anyone is going to the Cars and Coffee in Chanhassen this Saturday April7th? and if you need to get ready for the summer, I have for a fast sale:
*a full set of 4 NGK Iridiums, $65.00
*and a like new OEM air filter that has just 600 miles on it. (free with plugs or bras)
* and a Colgan top line black touring bumper, hood and mirrors covers. $ 100.00

Sadly sold my 40th so these parts I would like to sell cheap to someone in MN that appreciates keeping their car's paint safe and the engine at its best. $65 for the new plugs and willing to let the whole set of 4 piece bras go for $100.00 / half off. Air filter is free to who ever buys the plugs and bras. :wiggle:
Or if interested, will sell the whole three group parts package for $150.00 ! as long as I don't have to deal with shipping. If shipped in MN, all three part groups can be sold for $170.00 shipped in one box.

Here is the BHR ignition coil and the quality is great. BHR use the D585 coils from yukon truck coils, which also has heat sink on the coil for better cooling.

This is the next item on my list, then fuel pump, then etc., etc., etc.

How long did it take to get to you once the order went through?

I want that spoiler. What type is that? And are you on the the FB group?

Kaiser bun 04-10-2012 02:47 PM

It's a Mazdaspeed spoiler. There are replicas to be had that are probably pretty cheap, but may not fit as well as authentic. Check the classifieds on this site, there has been a couple up for sale there.

The whole kit is mazdaspeed. I made my purchased through Mazda dealers and all came painted. Fitment and paint is just like oem.

Now all I have to do is find some Mazdaspeed body parts.

You have any pics of work you've done?

Yea, not sure if I want to drop $1300 on a wing and exhaust shroud though. And that doesn't even include having to paint it.

that's not too far off for how much authentic ms parts cost these days... give mazdatrix a try.

They have the primer parts left, but they are defiantly spendy.

tablesRX8 04-13-2012 09:23 AM

Got a friend looking for some 18" chrome or black wheels to fit an S10 he is getting bagged right now. Anyone know of some for sale?

First off, I am by no way affiliated with the shop, but they've treated me well the many times I've been there so just wanted to inform everyone.
FirstGear Garage in Eden Prairie is doing specials on suspension components at .01 (1 cent) above their cost if you install at their shop in the month of April. I talked to Eric from the shop and he said anything on Tirerack they can get for cheap (possibly other websites as well, but we'd have to ask). Also if you don't want to install at their shop I think it's around 20% above cost of parts which still will be cheaper than buying from Tirerack direct. It's DIY shop with lifts for $35 an hour. They also have a new deal with some a local wheel/tire shop called Vision Speedwerks. See their website for more info: http://www.firstgeargarage.com/index...ction=specials I've done a bunch of installs there so just let me know if you have any questions.
