The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[princess peach]

Id be down for a fender rolling day as mine may need to be rolled a bit further down the wheel well than i originally had them rolled

i might as well join, would't hurt

 

[Evan9999]

Well shoot, son. Gotta roll the fenders. heh-heh. I rubbed pretty badly in the back too until I rolled the rear fenders. Never had a problem since. I'm sure you can find a local shop that will do it, or you can rent one online for ~$50 and do it yourself. Or even better have Evan #2 roll them for you. He is the fender rolling master. Haha

HAHA I'm a master after rolling fenders on 1 car!!!! Damn I wish I could be a master at a lot of things after doing them just 1 times!!!!

I'd be happy to help out a fellow Mazda owner

 

[Evan9999]

Oh crap. Thanks for the heads up, Jon! I'll look into the service manual tonight when I get home from work and fab something up this weekend. Zoom-zoom-BOOM would suck if they were the airbags going off. heh-heh

ps- Phen and I could have a "Spring Cleaning" meet at the house Saturday, April 2nd. That's the weekend before Mid-Ohio and would work out well. Maybe Marlon can have those nice fellows at SU ship the fender roller again, and we could all mount up our summer wheels, wash/wax, BBQ and all that good stuff. I can post up a thread if there is interest?

I'm definitely interested. I could paint my RX8 wheels then since it will be nice enough to do outside. lol

The summer wheel mounting part might not happen for me, I'm not sure I could wait until then to put the summer tires on HAHA!! I'm probably putting them on around March 19th, weather permitting of course.

 

[Evan9999]

Morning....sooo much randomness....

Evan#2...just put a small piece of electrical tape on the gauge cluster where the TPMS light is. Has worked great all winter on the wife's car and easy enough to take off when you swap the summer's on.

Ya that's probably the ultimate solution, but I think seeing a piece of electrical tape on the cluster would annoy me just as much HAHAHA I'll just live with the light. I did basically all of last summer.

Where I work, you're an "expert" after you've done one. Man does that suck... LOL.

 

[Lewis7789]

That's one of the days slated for the possible show that I'm playing. Final date hasn't been decided yet. It's either March 26 or April 2nd. Not that it really matters.

Phentabulous, we can come and check you out with a bunch of clean ass cars at your show......Phen and the Phentabulous Phenetrations...Only one is truly into "deep" Phenetration!!!

Yeah, Marlon. We can come to your gig after the BBQ, Phen. They usually aren't until 9pm or so anyways, yeah? But you have to be present at the BBQ, it's kind of your thing, dogg!

I thought I was the only one who was told that too. Once I finish a course or have some hands-on time, I'm an expert..

2 car garage now holds two cars! and my Camaro is freakin HUGE. Can't believe that back in 75 it was considered a compact car.

 

[thejeans]

i just want warm weather at this point... i want the car back to fun mode and the OZ's mounted up on the car haha

 

[PrinceValorum]

I'm going to the auto show tomorrow, and I'm trying to get excited by thinking about new cars that I want to see, but the only things I can think of that even sound a bit appealing are the WRX and hopefully the FT86. I just really hope Toyota doesn't F it up with the hybrid crap.

Is there anything else I should look forward to?

 

[thejeans]

honestly i was severely disappointed with the Pittsburgh International Autoshow a couple weekends back...

 

[Lewis7789]

Yeah, my buddy was going to give me fre tickets but said there wasn't really anything there worth checking out. Did you get free tickets or are you paying for them, Wes?

Levi, did you get your other wheels painted? I can't wait to see the orange mounted on Whitney.

 

[PrinceValorum]

I got em for free. There's no way I'd go to see a bunch of new cars that I have no interest in.

 

[THE Phen]

Toyota... not F something up?


C'mon man. Toyota is the only car manufacturer that I can think of that makes me feel like I'm 50 years old just by looking at them.

 

[Fiji Mazda3]

Got my date set for the tuner, April 1st. Now I know my deadline hopefully I can get my car done by then, starting hopefully next week. I want to take my time to make sure everything is done right.

Who's doing the tuning?

You're going to be disappointed.

Make sure you do the driving events. There a GM one and they have a handful of CTS-Vs and Camaros to drive.

Haha, they used to build cool stuff... They've had several awesome cars, in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. I think it all stopped when they killed off the Supra, though. I set my hopes low, so hopefully something will catch me off guard.

When it warms up you'll have to come out to the cruise in at A&W to satisfy your muscle lust.

Hmm, that does sound interesting. I didn't know they had that available. I'll keep my eyes open, thanks for the heads up.

It was gonna be ATS, but I guess they closed and both guys are at IPS now in the new shop.

Absolutely. By then I should have the Bavaria so I can fit in with the carburetors.
