So Ive finally got my rear brakes done, the old pads were thin as ice. I do think there is a little bit of air in the system though.

I did an oil change and didn't feel like going to the dealer to get a filter, so I went to the auto parts store an got the "orange oil fiter of death" (Fram)
Ive been so used to getting Fram for my parents cars, untill ive read on this site that Fram is "bad".

My new clutch kit is in the mail. Hopefully it will be here befor the meet so I can change it out. Im also going to change the tranny fluid and rear seal.

Im also thinking about doing a emission's removal some time in the future. But Im not sure what Im going to do about the 5th&6th port actuators and the oil injection. I believe I want to keep them.

Later.

 

5/6 ports, just wire them open. there is no loss in power, just a little loss in low end torque. the omp is electric on your car so just leave it there. whats wrong with fram? an oil filter's an oil filter, right?

 

thats what i thought. Where did you read about the fram being bad? and is it generation specific?

 

Just out of curiosity I did a search on oil filters.

 

mazda mini-filters ftw

and does anybody have a spare driver's side inner door handle? Mine broke and Im getting tired of having to roll down the window to open the door.

 

yea i have one. do you still have the mirrors off your S5? i broke my drivers side this weekend. well didnt quite break it, more like chipped the hell out of it. trade?

 

so who all is going from cola? do you guys want to meet at sonic on harbison around 2 then head to chucktown?

 

Ill might go early, If my clutch comes in by then. Its being mailed to my brother's place. If it dosent come in, I might not go. But 2pm @ sonic sounds like a plan.

 

I don't drive an RX7, but I'll probably be there in my M5 -- I live in Charleston and I'm looking to pick up an RX7, so I figure it can't hurt to come out :-P

 

is the M5 the v 10 model?
and hellz ya your welcome to come

 

unfortunately, i wont be able to come as i thought i would, military has put me in a tuff spot on some short notice TDY's. But ill be there next month hopefully =).

 

well next month is in spartanburg upstate mountain run if its not too dark.

 

yea its gonna have to be nice and early, because its getting dark around 5!!(the upstate meet.

 

Well my clutch came in, (charleston). Im gona head down there friday mid afternoon, install it befor the meet.
see ya later.

 

I never realized how hard it is to find someone with an impact gun & 54mm socket for flywheel nut removal.. but i think i found someone, hopefully ill have Chris's vert's old engine apart by the weekend

 

upstate mountain run before dark... pshhh. haha. yeah wouldnt want the road by yourselves or anything. lots of traffic in the day time.

 

I'll be there even if I have to run without a hood, and two hamsters running inside my motor to produce the horse power.

 

what is wrong with your car now?

 

His old hamsters dies and hes looking for replacement gerbils
