^^ honestly liyan, there's no need to disassemble. just lube it up with a can of penetrating oil. it is most possibly the pedal assembly.

i know its a pain to get that wd-40 smell in your car, so find a less funky lube. and if you find the exact location... replace with white lithium grease(usually used for hinges and such, odorless).

remember to remove the floormat.

before performing the procedure, check the rod is free of binding by sliding back the protective rubber boot if there is one. occasionally this may also contribute to some problerms...

Already tried it.

LionZoo

Would the weekend of the 22nd-23rd work better for people for the drive?

Hey.. I moved to Pasadena a few months ago now, but I left my 8 up north in the garage....making trips in the Chevy as I moved down.... I miss it so much.. I am looking for a good repair shop down here as I think the rear end is going out. any help would be cool.

Cheers.

TrochoidMagic

welcome tek. there are a few rotary only shops down here... try neptunespeed, or RRR (rotary reliability and something), mazdatrix, or JRX just to name a few.

ask around for those shop locations when u make it down for the meet. not sure if you have a warranty fix or ? depending on mileage and year i guess, huh?

TrochoidMagic

well liyan, sorry i couldn't be of more assistance to you.

but i'll tell you this. thats a nice new avatar you have...
wasn't that from the drive we went on???

i lost the map, so i don't know where that was...

LionZoo

Richard, the road is Yerba Buena.

So what do you guys feel about the date? Which one is better?

Psychofox

either one works for me

LionZoo

Clutch noise is gone! Story to be posted later.

Detrich

sweet! so the holy water worked, eh?

TrochoidMagic

zoo,

i finally put in the brake lines... and let me tell you, i knew it would feel better but i wasn't expecting a wow!

it feels better on a 1yr old car versus lines on a 10yr old car that for sure. can't wait to get the clutch line in...

what such nice mods for so little. this is gonna make me say sham-wow for a while!

so just lay out the date and plan for the drive... i'll be there if all else allows me. you know my situation.

JIC RX8 time attack car? There should be one at Buttonwillow this weekend. Any of you guys know anything about it?

boanjangnararmine

nope. never heard or seen of it. turbo? 20b?

UserrName

Looks pretty sick imo. I think it's turbo'd. There are no details from JIC's blog except that they're at BW testing. Considering it's a time attack car, I'm almost 100% sure they used some form of FI. Anyway, I'm off to Mira Loma for the weekend, see you guys next week.

Detrich

Who's all going to be at the meet tonight?

I'm going to try to get there at a decent hour this time hopefully...

Detrich

great meet yesterday... the rain & loss of In Cafe kinda sucked tho..

Well play monopoly next week if we can find a meet-friendly place to hang out...

boanjangnararmine

sigh.. the loss of IN cafe is sad.. but hopefully we'll start seeing sky now haha

UserrName

^^^ Damn that sucks. Where are we going to eat now? Moreover, where am I going to eat now? lol

Detrich

maybe we should start brainstorming ideas of where to go...

Do u guys think in cafe will still be an option?

garden seemed ok?

boanjangnararmine

garden is cool but parking may be difficult at times.
bacalli is good but parking is limited as well.
"new" in cafe is an option. we can try it out once.
sunday bistro has a lot of parking but i hear its shady sometimes.

that's all i can think of at the moment.

Detrich

Yah but we don't get to all park together if we get there around 11 or 12

LionZoo

There's also the Garden or Phoenix in Arcadia. Still, I say we send someone out to try to find a new place. Ideally it'll have plenty of parking, good prices, decent food, and enough seating to fit us all. Cute waitresses don't hurt either.
