are we there yet???

Looks like we are going to be joined by some Nissan and Acura for the ride.

 

If there is an afterparty I'm down. I just don't have money for the whole cruise lol.

 

hmmm afterparty.. bring that girl from the mazdafest pics....

 

looks like i cant make it thaxs to buying new tires

 

i have a damn exhaust leak..again...

 

It's raining... I was just sliding the 8 around town. Not a good sign.

Anyone know how to remove a wheel hub without a puller? I've been trying a mallet but apparently I'm weak sauce. I need to remove mine to replace a stupid broken wheel stud.

 

umm i just pulled on mine, you have an FC right? I didn't remove the rotor just pulled the whole damn thing super hard...

 

Last reminder for the drive tomorrow, Sunday the 31st.

Check your car out today and arrive with a full tank of gas. Stations near the start are shown in the map link below. South side of CA Hwy 94.
Service Stations


As far as the weather goes, we'll have to see. Unless it is truly raining, we'll show up at the start. If the groups wants, we can always remove the twisty sections and just make it a cruise out to the lunch spot.

Weather report for the general area at link below. Zoom out or move around as need be to see other reports.

hey mike, what time are you heading down there at? i have to pick up a friend in mainside. do you want to meet up, then drive down?

give me a call. pm'd you my cell.

 

well showtime is 930, I would say like 8 or so be on the 5 just to make sure don't get hit by traffic jams, i'll give you a call in a while, wanna just meet up by the commisarry by main gate, or gas station to top off one last decent priced fill up for the day...

 

sounds good bro, i will be at the mainside hobby shop trying to get rid of the exhaust leak today. I have to pick up a friend in mainside around 700am then i will go down to the gas station at the front gate and wait for you.

 

I'm trying to remove the hub on the Rx8 since the rear knuckles are getting in the way of removing my broken stud.

 

Guys,

'Tweaked' my back this morning and I have turned into a 68 year old man...

No way I can drive the FD in this condition.

I will see you guys at next week's meet.

Charlie

 

Damn charlie. That sucks. I'm glad have a back brace for my back problems.

 

That's too bad Charlie, I was looking forward to seeing your car again. Well, Hope you have a speedy recovery, i hate when my back has issues.

 

No thanks to Charlies back problem, My day at the Miramar Hobby shop TLC session has turn into a nightmare on My street.

Managed to replace the cracked front sway bar bracket (both sides) and tried to address the secondary turbo oil leak issue, unfortunately resulting in two broker down pipe bolts and massive exhaust leak.

Today was not a good FD day.
I have to solve the broken stud issue.

Drive safe and have fun guys. This is the third time i have missed the Cruise.

 

Damn.. everyone's cars are broken..lol. i have an exhaust leak that im trying to fix right now.. its so annoying. Well gl with your car, hope everything gets fixed soon.

 

man that sucks, who wants to drive the FC LOL see you guys there...

 

I'm heading there now

 

oh **** we must have just missed you gene.. to bad it was a good run

 

Yea, I was in my friend's Acura NSX but we got to the meet up spot at 10:30am. You guys must've left at 10:15am sharp.

 

you missed a good run. Weather held other than some fog in a few places early on. Hope your back gets better soon Charlie. And hope you get the FD put back together Mikey. Damn Mikey, I was looking forward to some more bad *** pics you've been posting with that new camera. Whoevers got 'em, post 'em up fellas. Thanks for putting the route together John. The food at the lunch spot was great other than it taking a long time to come out. See ya next saturday guys.

 

Tom,

Looked like a good turnout.

I see you brought out the "new" vert. Looks good (I expected no less from you). Are you going to change your avatar to "4X dope"? Ha!

My back is a little better today, but still sore. I should be good by Saturday.

Charlie
