Drove it. Beautiful day today.

 

^ me too, drove 100 miles saturday!

 

Just got these:

 

100 miles? where did you go?

 

Turns out I have a bad ground wire. Mazda is asking over $2800 for the fix, apparently I need a whole new engine harness... wtf?

 

Put the old rims back on her... much better

Next will be some lowering spings.

 

Florida City and back.

 

everywhere.....it wasnt all in one stint. even went out to dinner with the wife in the car

damn a brand new harness from mazda is only $1K, whats the other 1800 for

hahahahha dont own any properties down there so no real reason to go down there. i think joe was prettly close to FL City

 

Painted suspension components...going back in!

WTF? Stay away from the dealership. Which ground wire is bad? Engine harness? Body harness? Charging harness?

You can buy a used harness for about $100 or get someone to make you one for $600 or so.

$2800 is about the price of a new engine + charging + body harness. I'm sorry but someone is trying to bend you over.

 

Yeah, we filled up at the station were we met up, 3rd exit off of 75 in Georgia. You guys leaving thursday morning again, and if so want to meet up and try again for a caravan (or if your feeling real frisky, a train)?

 

choo chooo

 

I may already be up in Atlanta a few days before DGRR on business. I may stay up there a few days after as well.

My honest recollection of last year was Friday was the best day of driving. Saturday all the weekend cruisers were out there and it was slooooooooooooooooooooooow at times. I don't know if I'll drive Saturday this year...go white water rafter or wax Marks's back or something.

 

Saturday the best time to drive was in the morning, but I agree that friday was the best. Rafting sounds interesting, is that something that the lodge sets up? I might be interested.

And if you are waxing Mark's back, let me know so I can bring the camera and the popcorn!!

 

Kevin only if you are still there in the morning

 

Driving it to work everyday b/c my grand cherokee is having transmission trouble at 45k... wtf? Stupid chrysler products. We should have let them go bankrupt.

Zero G.. love those mirrors!

 

wife got me a valentines gift. i guess she got tired of me signing up everyday for the GoPro everything we make sweepstakes on faceboook.

 

Nice!
The newer Hero2

 

Woot Woot!

 

nice you lucky bastard... wish i had the spare cash for a gopro.

i put in some speed bleeders and halfway flushed my car yesterday, finishing it up today, and if i have time, changing oil/plugs

 

this was the first drain..


then after with just distilled water, flushing out the rest of the coolant.



Then did the oil and plugs, which really needed to be done

 

Installed the coilovers and got an alignment at West End Alignment in Gardena

 

Interior is now totally complete

99's Spec Tach transplanted into US cluster

 

Thanks to the committee & Luis for the support & help.
