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

Looked at Jess's old neon. Was a good car runs great with no hesitations and rides good other than it seems to shake when I got it up to 70. Not sure what that is, I will be taking out the motor mounts that are in there right now though lol. But I am taking it as he only wants 800 for it so i decided to not beat him up as any car that kinda runs is worth a grand.

That's pretty sweet. I paid more for my winter tires. :)
 
well darn it...my $20 endlinks aren't gonna work. darn listing was for a speed3 and the parts are for the regular 3...

so wait you bought speed3 rear endlinks but have mz3 bar? simple solution is to upgrade to speed3 bar and then your 20 dollar endlinks will work perfectly LOL
 
Did you get the rsb already?

not yet. it's scheduled for tomorrow. just trying to have all my ducks in a row before hand. waiting to hear back from tri-point to see which set to order. they list 4 options: 04-09 mazda3, 07-09 speed3, 10-12 mazda3 and 10-12 speed3. I'm guessing they all will work, but wanted to confirm.
 
What changes around this time of year where you have more money? I bet it's get's pretty cold standing on the street corners at night this time of year, Peaches...
 
I have a good coat, easy to take off...

Because its getting colder, people go to the restaurants more as they don't do more outdoors activities. Also, Cavs are going to start playing soon, and concerts @ HOB will be picking up. The last few months I've been making very little parking cars, compared to last winter.
 
so he has the speed3 bar and the mz3 endlinks?

easy fix just make spacers for the endlinks... i know plenty of people that have done that and its less than 5 bucks to fab them lol

Yep, that's the situation. I might make a run to Lowes/Home Depot and see what I can come up with. From what I've read, I have 10mm and need 12mm.
 
what did the seller had to say about that? I'd be asking for my money back

I was using our online NAPA account thru the dealership. When you punched in 08 speed3 the same part number as a normal 3 came up. So, I called and asked if they could take a look at. They had a 2nd option (house brand) that was listed for the regular 3 that they compared the incorrect part to. so, I'm not out any $.

its far less hassle to just sleeve the bolt. but thats just my (2cents)

That's prolly what I'll end up doing for the time being.
