I would still really like to do this. I ended up doing my springs and shifter bushings yesterday, didnt even use the spring compressor. Now I am going to have to put on a bumper and maybe a hood. I may do the painting myself though. In that case I will have to paint at home BC I cant lug my compressor and paint stuff around easily. If anyone has experience painting that would be cool. I have very limited experience with it.

what bumper?

I had a run in with a sharp left hand turn over the weekend. Totally wasted my bumper and the sign must've bent back and hit the hood. I am probably going to get a Buddy Club 2 bumper, maybe the full kit. Money IS a factor and I want it to look good. Even if I get a MSP bumper I'll still need paint, and the lip to bring it back to stock.

 

[slug420]

damn, that sucks

i bet the cheapest thing would be to have that fixed......probably just buy a new lip and they can definitely fix the bumper and hood to look like new

if you go BC2 kit, make sure you check out close up pics of it. In the pics i saw it was messed up where the bumper met the hood on the sides of the grill, it was like tucked in too much, didnt look so hott....

 

[NeverSober]

So lets do this install day. I need to install my air/fuel ratio guage and my oil pressure guage, shifter bushings. And I will diffently have more by the time we are ready to do this.

Pick a date and a time and I'm down. Easter weekend is actually a good time for me or april 4th. I have free reign of the folks house all of Easter weekend as they will be in Florida. I dont care at all where we have it.

I know my place is a bit of a drive but as I said it's available. Its not really too far. I'm 45 min from Manchester,NH and about an hour and a half to Boston, MA.

Saturday's are good for me, Sunday's are bad. New Hampshire works for me. Got grounding kit, and Dynamat to install, maybe calipers to paint.

I thought were shooting for Sunday!!

So we need to come to a decision of where and when! Sundays are best for me cause I work on Saturdays. But lets come up with a solution. We should meet somewhere central to everyone!! Well hope we decide soon!!

 

[Gbourdon]

I am supposed to go to a Boaters Safety class on the Saturday the 3rd (blah) but I can reschedule if I have to. I really do not care where we have this. I probably wont have anything to install (unless my bumper is ready) but don't mind helping out others. I really don't care where we go. We don't really need much room and a garage would be nice so we dont have to be on the ground outside.

hmm sundays are the best for me now becuase now after some s*** gone bad at work i HAVE to work sat. now...but it dont matter for mr because i have nothing to install lol!!!!!! id just go to help out and stuff

 

[Kansei]

I'd like to be in on this too.. now I gotta buy something to install.. hmmm if I could sell my wheel spacers I could get a short shifter, and I could always get some of that nice caliper paint.. I could easily install myself but where's the fun in that? NH is pretty far, but hey if it's all we've got it's not all that bad.

 

[Gbourdon]

I could go for painting my calipers too, what color are you thinking? I am down to do this but I probably won't have any mods either. I have to do some pretty simple stuff like replace/repair my windshield washer reservoir. If we do it easter weekend then I will have a bumper to put on the car. I don't have jack to do for easter so I don't mind having it on that saturday or sunday or both. I'm sure other people will have family type stuff to do for easter though. I figure if we do it on a saturday we don't have to worry about it running late. We could always postpone until we have more mods to do. I will have the corksport exhaust coming before too long.

 

[servoeyes]

I'm gonna paint my calipers tomorrow...and hopefully I'll get my corner smokers in the next couple days. I won't have anything to install after that for a while...not until I get a jobby-job, anywho.

 

[NeverSober]

Oh I should have lots of stuff to install, since I just got a job and I am working all the time now. And I want to paint my calipers red. How much are you looking to get for your wheel spacers? Will they fit the msp? If so I will buy them if the price is right.

Lets do this the night of the 3rd or the 4th? Slug you need to dynamat right? I don't mind heading down south if you guys have a spot in MA or CT.

 

[bazooka joe]

i've got a few new goodies to install. DGM carbon fiber real valance, mint blue grille, and fiberglass engine cover by DGM. gotta get two of them painted first. i'm excitied!! also, looking at some new leather seats and maybe a turbo by rev it up!!

 

[bazooka joe]

need you help....i was thinking about painting the engine cover red...to kinda go with my red theme under the hood....but i thought that might be to much red...i was thinking maybe silver to match the car or just black (could have got the carbon fiber if i did black??) like the mp3??? your ideas would be welcome.

 

[Gbourdon]

Maybe you could do a red and black sort of thing with it. I think it would look good red with the Mazda or Mazdaspeed sicker in the center oval.
