So it seems like an install day is a popular idea. The next logical step is a location, so if you're willing to propose your place for a day of Miata installations please do so!

Space is a necessity. Tools can be brought, and well a lift would just be incredible.

I would be interested if i have a rollbar by then.

Sawyer

10-06-2008, 10:58 PM

I would be interested. Probably won't have anything to install, but I would come just to help out and learn a bit!

So im thinking Air tools might be the best thing to have on a day like this.

Roadster

10-06-2008, 11:03 PM

I use nothing but good old manual tools. Haven't run into anything that required air as of yet...After clutch jobs, suspension, pulling and dismantling an engine...

But yes, air tools make things quicker and easier to destroy. :P

Greg

10-06-2008, 11:12 PM

I can offer up a place if need be. Its not a shop by any means but... I can fit 8 miatas in the driveway, a few in the front yard, and then the cul-de-sac...
I have some air tools, but my compressor just crapped out so...

Things I will need to install:
Soft top
Roll bar
fender flares
springs/struts
wheels

i have a lift and a decent sized shop at my grandparents place, im sure they wont mind us using it for a while. :)

oh, and air tools. bring your own tools if were gonna use my place though, dont want any of my grandpas stuff getting broken.

Greg

10-07-2008, 12:25 AM

Sounds like a good idea to me :)

jesseealexander

10-07-2008, 12:29 AM

im down. figure out a range of dates and we can narrow it down from there.

Jack-MX5ATLanta.com

10-07-2008, 01:02 AM

I'm for it. Jesse do you want to double check with your grandparents before they find a flock of Miata descending on them :lol:

silver280zx

10-07-2008, 06:20 AM

Sounds good

Doppelgänger

10-07-2008, 07:18 AM

I can help with installing/working on stuff :)

10-07-2008, 10:17 AM

Sounds like a winner to me, down for helping out. I know I've already recruited a few people to come to my house when everything is ready to go back in on my car. :)

I would be happy to bring some food stuffs to get help installing springs and sways!

So how many Miatas can we fit at MazMart? :)

ben91

10-07-2008, 01:29 PM

There's already about 50 or so in the back.

nderwater

10-07-2008, 01:38 PM

now that's what i call 'spares'!

belvnmx5

10-07-2008, 01:47 PM

This could be a win-win for everyone to do it there, that way, if someone breaks a part or finds they need something else, they walk inside and buy it. No more mad scrambles to the dealership, hoping they have something in stock...

RotorNutFD3S

10-07-2008, 02:15 PM

OK, so my next question is, how much do we have to pay to have a tech day there for lift use, etc.?

ben91

10-07-2008, 02:30 PM

We only have 2 lifts. No money needs to change hands for use of the facility on a Saturday. Buy me a sammich or something and we'll call it square.

Greg

10-07-2008, 02:45 PM

Sounds like plan. Where is the shop?

JennB

10-07-2008, 02:57 PM

Ooooo... Mazmart.. that may to too far of a drive for us. lol

I'll show up for a while and partake in foods and photographing. Just say when.

FE3tMX5

10-07-2008, 03:04 PM

Oh man, I can't miss this! Maybe Ben will build my 3.63 rx7 clutch diff as demonstration! :clap::lol: I'm running a race in the morning though... time?

C'mon Jenn, now that the gas shortage is over you have no excuses. Just make sure you fill up before you come inside the perimeter. ;)

JennB

10-07-2008, 03:05 PM

C'mon Jenn, now that the gas shortage is over you have no excuses. Just make sure you fill up before you come inside the perimeter. ;)

I live in the perimeter.....

In fact, I live about 2 miles from MazMart.

FE3tMX5

10-07-2008, 03:16 PM

And I make only one turn to get there from my street. ;)

RotorNutFD3S

10-07-2008, 03:33 PM

Damn, you guys suck for being so close. But I'm definitely down for showing up and helping out and grilling some food.
I was asking what it would take to use the lift mainly for when it comes time to install the Teins. But thinking about it Ben, you may not let me. :lol:

ben91

10-07-2008, 03:42 PM

Ahh, you know I'm jealous of the Teins, but there's no way I could have any animosity. First is first.

If you plan to grill... UHM BYOG :jawdrop: :wtf: :D

RotorNutFD3S

10-07-2008, 03:46 PM

And that is why you are OK in my book! :)

I'm down for throwing my grill in the back of the minivan. :cool::cool::cool:

jesseealexander

10-07-2008, 03:56 PM

I'm for it. Jesse do you want to double check with your grandparents before they find a flock of Miata descending on them :lol:

they wont care. ive had like 11 different cars over there at once before when we were installing deerawks roll bar, and some springs on a mustang.

i also have a parts car with some suspension and stuff left on it. :)

^X2. I'll need almost a month before I have anything worthwhile to install, lol.

Is the concensus on Mazmart, then?

10-08-2008, 12:06 PM

So who wants to help me disassemble my front hubs so I can put my brake cooling ducts on? Taking them aparts is one of the few things I have NOT done on a Miata....

You guys want to do fluid fills? I have plenty of Redline 75w90 (diff) on hand, and just got a case of MT90 (trans). I also would not mind getting a jug or two of good brake fluid and flushing my clutch and brakes through.

I need to change my fluids Ben you tell me what to put in my trans and diff. My trans "chunks" into 3rd so keep that in mind.

The MT90 should be fine. Some people seem to think that 1qt MT90 and 1qt MTL is more ideal in the 6spd, but Mazda calls for MT90 and it's what's in stock.

Sawyer

10-27-2008, 04:19 PM
