just got my call from Romero Mazda...Mazda is going to offer no support with the broken clutch bracket. I guess I need to follow Jedi's suggestion of sending a pm to CharlesHill.

I just want to get into the new car, but things just aren't working out for us right now.

..oh, sorry, happy new years everyone

no he wants to get in to a new car but has to sell his 8 first. bummer to hear that keith i guess as soon as the warrenty goes out so does the service. too bad you cant blame the service department for trying to fixing it but just prologing the break date. how much will that part cost.

oil change and wax job today.
Spark plugs are in the mail, and the cabin air filter is STILL sitting on the passenger seat.

lazy! The cabin air filter takes 5 minutes to replace.

I thought if I put it in the passenger seat I would just do it one day when I was sittin in the car. But it is still in the box, sliding around on every corner reminding me of my laziness.

^Jedi what's the cost on the cabin air filter itself?

rglbegl

Mine was about $27 from the dealership


BTW - New automobile magazine showed up. Great article on the Cosmo and the rotary engine

Romero indicated that new clutch bracket was going to be about 250, installation would be additional to that.

I'll probably need to be creative, and take the calm, slow approach like I did with the transmission. Take steps slow, retrace them and get as much info as I can.

spent some time with Casey this evening on the Miata. I was really impressed with the amount of work he got through during our trip to Vegas over the New Years.

We took the AC components out and got the car on the trailor tonight...with the goal of getting the car to a muffler shop to have the cherry bomb welded on. Maybe give it a drive around the block so we can confirm that there are no leaks under load.

We got the car up to operating temp this evening and no leaks....so it looks promising.

Find a guy with a welder and call it a day.

Quick question does anyone know if the Guitar on Guitar Hero 3 for the 360 will work on Rockband? Just a curious question.

speeddemon32

yes it will.. but not the other way. the ock band guitar will not work with guitar hero.

rglbegl

That sounds like expensive information.
How much did it cost to learn that one?

FastRX8

It didn't cost anything.
We had Guitar Hero guitars. When we bought Rock Band, it came w/ 1 guitar. We used the GH and Rock Band guitars for playing Rock Band. I tried using the Rock Band guitar on GH2 and that's how I found it didn't work.
It's no big deal for the xbox guys, because we can use our GH guitar to play w/ the whole band.
PS3 owners, on the other hand, once again, got screwed.
The GH guitar was not compatible w/ Rock Band on the PS3, and Rock Band did not sell any individual instruments.
So PS3 owners that bought Rock Band, only have 1 guitarist for now. (Although I think that issue is close to being fixed, if not already fixed)

FastRX8

Lazy - Making your own cost under $10 for 5 of them.
