I should be there as long as my tires hold up.
Also a reminder to all club members, I need the monthly dues for last Aug and Sept. If I am not able to make it, you will need to give it to Michelle.
Thankyou. Everyone lets have a killer turnout and have some fun. Don't forget the Camcorders.

SOUNDS GOOD GOOD GOOD! hopefully my new coilovers come in the mail and I can get them on before then- sublime quoted me at 250 dollars to get them on! I forgot to ask them if it includes an alignment- if anyone is pretty handy with coilovers I am listening!!! hey el presidente'! I want to get my dues taken care of- can I paypal you today the money???????? pm me with an address and I will get this taken care of as I feel like a "non-official" member- almost inadequate or something

Kain - my JIC's cost $195 to have installed. Wait a month or so for the alignment -- it will take that long for the springs to settle and everything to "break-in".

Sorry - I'm going to be a no-show on the 12th. My Sunday mornings are permanently scheduled for a Higher Authority

Yeah---I wondered if that would be a problem....I'll have my meeting with that guy on Saturday night!

Hope to see you next time. (tentatively scheduled for 10/10/04--in the afternoon this time!)

 

[jaskel]

Surgery??!!! Hope everything's okay. (silly)
Glad to hear you're home, anyway. We missed ya' at the last get-together.

Jesus 195 for the install, man am i glad i work for the military, did my suspension work on base by myself, took an hour and only cost $12.00,

 

[RXHusker]

Installing the complete suspension with adjustable coilovers is a little more complex than popping in a new set of springs It took an over an hour and taking all four wheels off individually several times just to get the ride height perfect and even with me in the driver's seat -- trying to get proper corner weighting without using a scale. The RX-8 is an incredibly well balanced vehicle and I would hate to mess up the Mazda engineers hard work.

Kain -- I have Jason's number at the office and will send to you tomorrow -- his shop is close to 60th and Harrison. He has even run out to my office several times just to adjust for me (was too low at first and then the springs settled and I had to fine tune).

 

[kain8]

thanx Jeff! that is the kind of service I am looking for! I will call him as soon as I get that number from you and schedule this- my coilovers should be getting here anyday now- I have a super lightweight battery coming in the mail today! (according to shipping tracking) If I had the time I might try to tackle this myself, however, I want this done before the memphis drive and 195 is not bad at all if all the time I save I get to spend with the kids! thanx Jeff!!!

Welcome back man! How was your trip? What surgery and for who? I hope all is well.

[jaskel]

Ehh the wife had to go into surgery for appendisitis, she is recovering, which means no time to finish projects right now, and trip was good minus all the typhoons, and having to move all over Japan to get away from them, but some good golfing there in a few places, unfortunately no new car parts

Ive done coilovers on my car and springs on toms. Im always down to give it a shot. Hell it cant be that hard. Forget paying for it to be done. I just hope the endlinks for the rx8 is easier to remove. Just let me know and ill do my best.

 

[MazdaManic5]

I deeply regret that i have to work that day. Its my sunday fo rthe month. have fun though. I know ive been shady lately and i do apologize. Ive had a lot to take care of and ive been really busy, once again i would like to apologize to the the MWM crew for my absense. BTW i got my stickers on and they look great. The bad part is that the e and s of midwest mazdas got ****** up. So i think ill ditch the lower part and just have the MWM.
