Probably won't be out this month now that this weekend got shitcanned. Might be able to go next weekend if there's an event or the weekend after if I only do Saturday down at Mid-Ohio. Going to Vegas the weekend after. Should be around for a couple weeks in July. Gotta at least log enough timestamps to keep my Mazda comp going.

Banned and Doc - Dondo decided to sell his battery cover for $30 shipped if either of you want it PM him by EOD please. He is holding up shipping my part out on that order. Doc...if you end up with it maybe we can work some of your shipping magic again?

Man... 3 pages worth of discussions just from this morning!
Thanks Ryan... exactly what I was thinking about while reading through this!
All I can say is this, when I had $5400 worth of front-end damage when I wrecked my 8, Cascade's service dept did a wonderful job at restoring it back to life.
You always hear about when people wreck their car and they notice something "not right" since the wreck.
I haven't noticed a single problem afterward due to improper/overlooked service.
Maybe I was lucky and Cascade at that time had a really knowledgeable person there to work on my car.
Obliviously, its been a few years since I've been there since I do all my own work

As far as I know he has the parts still...hit him up. He didn't have a FS thread...I found it in another thread somewhere.
As for the BBQ...it is the 12th and 13th.

Ryan- I remember we talked about water condensation in the taillight and I tried to show you where I drilled.
I did a good job at hiding the holes and we couldn't find them (and it was dark outside).
I removed my taillight and took some pics because of a discussion/disagreement in another thread.
Figured I would show the post to you since you asked about where I drilled:

just an FYI but battery covers are 32 bucks msrp. 25 before shipping at onlinemazdaparts.com (it's called an upper cover) and Westside pricematched the last time I went there so you can get it w/o shipping costs. So try not to fight over this one.

I am considering selling my Cobb AP if someone locally is interested. I've never used it, it's never been tuned. If interested PM me.

I've got spare bronze numbers that ended up being too dark for my car. I think they'd work on yours though. 8's and 0's. Pretty sure I even have extra magnetic sheets if you want enough to make two B's and S's.
If you're in town before Saturday I'll be around Friday night not driving to Cincy until Sat. AM. Could probably drop them off with Doc or Megan as well if you want.
Come to think of it if someone needs a helmet who has a medium sized head I can loan that out too.

Uhh, so really dumb question here I feel...
I'm going to try to prepare numbers before the event this saturday. Can I just pick any number or what?
And I think I need a two digit number, then my class and an R, correct?
Example:
14 - SP - R
(I say SP because of no cat)
I know number 69 is taken... lol.
