Day 4: Rough Trimmed box, and I am going to test fit it again in a few minutes to make sure it still fits correctly.

Here is it now.

Glad to see someone else is hard at work. I think my task is a little more fun than yours. I recently, had to replace the trans in my 2nd gen rx7, and had to replace the slave in my F150. If I never have to wrestle another transmission back into a vehicle, it would not hurt my feelings at all.

I'm doing TOO much.

This is what is in my Mazda6 Wagon:
-MSD 6AL
-Holley Blue Fuel Pump
-Holley FPR
-FB brake booster
-FB master cylinder
-Full set of BBS wheels w/tires
-Wheel stud kit for FB
-Front rotors for the CX-9
-Front pads for the CX-9

Tonight I have to do the brakes on the CX-9. The rest of the goodies go on the FB this weekend. I also have a set of rear shocks that need to go on the Mazda6.

Too much work!!

Going to be doing some more work on the 8 this week, all cooling related. Had a bad battery back in the fall that caused some damage that I need to take care of before I go and beat the shit out of it on a mountain, last thing I want is to get up there and blow a coolant line. Guess its Gonna be the Jetta for my drive to work this week

Nope sure don't, I have a bad case of ADD. I bought a dodge diesel megacab, and bought my sisters trailblazer with a blown engine to R&R and flip for profit.

what am i doing? hmmm ... i guess nothing with the Rx-8 at the moment. it will probably be another couple months before i'll be able to go get it out of storage, but i have a few things to do once i do. i don't really have anything too crazy planned for the 8, at least not for anytime soon.

repairs and maintenance:
1. track down a weird vibration i felt the last time i drove it
2. figure out why the car thinks the passenger rear door is open
3. steam clean the engine
4. see how Mazda tries to bone me out of the clutch pedal repair/replacement

modifications:
5. finish my exhaust system with a header and race pipe
6. Cobb
7. ignition upgrade
