Nice to see everyone, next time I'll bring some chow. Also, I'll work on not sucking at impromptu burnout contests... baked clutch anyone?

I totally forgot about this. I was prepping the car for this weekend. Next time.

Zach, Here is the link to the RE5 for sale thread with pictures. Sad day when she sells.

We need to pick a day for June to all meet back up.
Better to plan in advance.

I'll be out of town for the last week leading up to the 4th.
(going to Florida)

Im in for a meet.. let me know.

Well I officially got a job in Murfreesboro so I'll be somewhat moving in a couple weeks. It's only part-time so I'll be working there and Knoxville until I get a full-time job in the Nashville area. It'll be nice to have a good local rotary group to hang out with, as opposed to the dumbass Knoxville guys (ugh, don't get me started...). My only current problem is that I'll have nowhere to work on the 7 besides my parent's (near Knoxville). Hopefully I'll find somewhere to store/work on the car.

Anyways, add another 7 to the local group (soon enough).

Sweet, another rotorhead in the Boro!!

When are you moving here? Try to do so by July 4th ;)

I meet with the HR guy tomorrow and they have to do a background check (usually about a week) so I'm not sure when I'm starting. Probably the week of the 6th.

Moving is a tricky situation. One of my friends rents out 3 rooms at his house. Currently they're all full, but one is opening in August and possibly another around that time. He's currently checking if another guy still wants to move there (he asked a while ago), and if he doesn't I'm in. Until then I'm crashing at his house and waiting to see what happens. I'm hoping that will work out since it's super cheap and I hate dealing with leases...

Awesome man, we could set up a meet at one of the car shows here in the Boro when you get here and settled. We haven't done anything here in a while.

Sounds good. Hopefully the 7 will make it to Nashville without imploding. I haven't drove it more than 2 miles in about 6 months... :(

Pretty sure the 8 just popped...

Well, we'll see how long it takes Mazda to replace the reni...

In a way I wish it wasn't under warranty. Then I could justify an RE block swap or something....

Got the 7 moving thanks to DJ and Charles. :icon_tup: Driving it for the first time in a while was fun. It's pretty sweet when a car literally gives you goose bumps. :driving:

Now to finish up a few more things, find somewhere to put it in Nashville/Murfreesboro, and hope it makes the trip...

How did you pop it?

Just coming back from lunch, nothing special.
you know that feeling... where it feels like the power is all the sudden cut in half and it just limps along. So I'm pretty sure it's toast. I should hear back from Mazda today.

In brighter news, I have exhaust coming for it.

UPDATE:
It's not blown...
The coils, plug wires, plugs, and downstream O2 sensor are all fried.
Ended up costing me more than just having the engine replaced...

Exhaust ships today...

Did they give you an estimate, or just fix it?

The reason I ask is that all those items can he had cheap, and the ignition could have been upgraded with a BHR kit.

If they just fixed it without your approval, they are on the hook for the bill.
