Nah you're good. We've made the deposit already so everyone else is pay-at-the-gate.
I'll be sending out reminder emails to people who owe money, and how much that they owe. We've still got plenty of time for this, but i want to make sure everything is accounted for ahead of time.
Also, I updated the meet thread because I was being asked about a few things. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123820545-The-Great-Mazda-Mountain-Climb&highlight=
I've driven up Mount Washington. Though not in my Mazda as I did it for a photo shoot. Very fun ride! http://www.flickr.com/photos/54160538@N02/sets/72157627876720014/
Sup ppl ... so visited local vw dealer since CEL came on .. end up paying almost 200$ , most of it for taking off CEL due to gas cap not being properly closed, go figure its not part of warranty, and they wonder why I don't go there for maintenance service ...
The mounting run sounds interesting ... might show up for that

they also invented the electrical gremlin that causes the CEL light to either malfunction or burn out, not letting you know of impending doom

lot's of vdub bashing this am?
Being a current owner of one that, had I not had the tools and capability to do most of the work myself, would probably have bankrupt me by now, I think I've earned the right to bash VWs from time to time. German engineering my ass. Same people who thought a manual turret on a Panzer would be a good idea. Big surprise when the more maneuverable (but far inferior in every other way) were able to consistently get behind them and pick them apart. *sigh*
Morning y'all!
Loving my LSD still! Built a new sub box with chuyler1, strapped it down with some bungee cords and it seems to be staying in place.
Great news is that the Miata seems to be OK. Valve clearances were OK, except one intake valve on cyl 1 was just a hair under spec (which wouldn't cause a tapping noise). I put the valve cover back on, with a new valve cover gasket, and it still ticked. Changed the oil and put in 1qt of M1 15W-50 and 3.5 qts of M1 Extended Perf 5W-30 and bam ticking/knocking went away right away. Ran the car Monday during the nice weather and it was great! So phew! Hopefully that's the end of that. Not sure what happened to the old oil.

ya, me as well?
morning all...off to the rv show tomorrow, yup! looking at a 01 stepside ranger 4x4 with 92k on her sat.
I guess but unless you are racing, thick oil is not for the street, unless your engine is very old and using oil.
Still not getting why Oleg is using such thick oil. Most engine wear occurs on startup. Thick oil would not help but make it worse, never mind fuel mileage.
Civic was using oil like mad at that time. 170k of hard driven miles will do that, I guess.
Hey mahk, you selling the car?

For that price, I could actually get it come tax return time.
