Started on my battery re-locate today, got the exhaust heat sheild taken off and mounted the tray. Next on the list is to run the wires and get fuses.



Also, just ordered all my stuff for the relocate. If anyone wants to do this with me let me know. Ill send you a list of the parts to do it. In total everything to move the battery from the front to the trunk cost me about 120.

After this im gonna try and get an aem intake and then work on a tray to clean it all up.

By the way guys. The first meet is about a month away. Start preparing and don't forget April 7th.

What do you guys want to do as far as food goes? Looks like around 20 people

The 8 club guys can all go in for food together or something. Then put bring your own food on the page or something. That would be easier than trying to organize everyone bringing something. We can always meet up at Shop and Save a little early and everyone can throw in a couple bucks. I should have some friends with me that will pitch in too.

Should I bring my compression tester; or would this not be the best time to do it?

As far as food goes, the typical bbq / park food works fine for me; I'm not picky at all and will gladly chip in.

Having a garage for the compression test day will probably work better. If we could get into Adam's shop that would probably be sweet but I haven't heard what is going on with that for a while.

Never got the shop, the guy pretty much decided hes just gonna keep it. But either way we could just do it at my parents. Theres a big driveway a two car garage and all the tools and stuff we will need.

^ know exactly how you feel, two exams in one day and one of them is at 8am!

Adam, Join!, post up some pics of your ride in the rx8/7 section too.

I posted about the meet and made sure rotaries were sort of the main priority, but other mazdas were ok too.

Just a heads up this site is unmoderated and people aren't afraid to be painfully honest lol, which is why I like it! My car caught some **** by some but liked by others haha.
