So far everything is on track for this, just putting together a updated list of who's doing what. Since only a few people now are doing suspensions it should be quick pickings since we'll have several spring compressors on hand along with one at the shop itself. Though I'd like those people to come early as to ensure we get them done.

What if I got a good Tranny, can they do a swap for me?

Yes it is happening unless something has changed in the past 8 hrs. Go to the rx8 club website they are the ones doing it.
Oh and false alarm on the alternator seems to work fine
so the 7 will be there thank god, I really did not have the money for an alternator.
Am I meeting anyone in nashua, I am leaving jaffrey around 7 which will put me in nashua around 8-830. I can meet where ever so let me know.

It was a good time. Missed out on riding in Ray's car though.

I would have never dared to torch a brake line :/ sounds dangerous.

I know right thats what I said, been around too many that have blown up to ever want to torch one, and you know what it did. That was some sketchy stuff. Amazingly it worked and they got it free lol.
Here is a link to the thread in the rx8 club with some pics from the meet.

I'm really happy it worked though, even when I was freaking out a few seconds! Was a lot of fun, thanks to all involved. And a special thanks to the family that set up the event.

Well I finaly found some time to pop on here. Between setting up the house and work plus add on a sketchy internet connection which would only allow a few minutes of internet time a hour popping ova here was a no go

Just wanted to say thanks to those 7's who showed up and those who helped out. We had around 25-30 cars show up throughout the day and I'd wager 40 or so people. Rotary Powered you car was on that lift alllllll day long.. was happy to finaly see it roll off the lift and well STOP! lol.. Luke you had Otto impressed that you did all that work mainly by yourself and as fast as you did. Oh and people it doesnt look like a stage couch anymore.. its definatly lowered haha.

I might be helping out another meet up in ME in late July that will have Ray and MazdaManiac and possibly Scott from Mazsport there helping people out, showing off products and we'll also have a Dyno there (currently in the works). So just putting it out there for now.

Till the next time I guess
