Mellow Mushroom meet Sat. Nov. 22nd AND Tech day in Lawrenceville

[Doppelgänger]

OK, it was discussed in another thread with many positive replies and I figure some people may have cleared their plans for AFTER the tech meet that will be happening earlier during the day. So let's meet up for some beer (soda for the kiddies) and pizza.

Mellow Mushroom
2000 Main St E, Snellville, GA?

Time/Date
Saturday November 22nd @ 4pm (can change this if need be...but this the 'usual time' for our other meets). We usually stay for a few hours... do at 6pm, don't think you're too late!!


************************************************** **
Tech Day - Hosted by the Benmeister in Lawrenceville... just a few miles from Snellville.

Discuss.

[ben91]

Tech day on the 22nd doesn't need to failboat.

I'll be working on my car or cars at my dad's shop in Lawrenceville on the 22nd. I need to put coilovers on the 99 and put together bilsteins on the 91.

I have lifts, tools, and air. I would appreciate any help, and would be able to reciporcate help at that time and/or at any point in the future. Even if people need easy things like oil changes, it's really convienent to be able to have the car in the air and then not have to deal with getting rid of the old oil.

[MeFryRice]

I'm free that day so I'm game for either dinner or a tech day still....

[Grantri]

Cool..

I think we can manage to bring both cars out to the Snellville Shroom Saturday

Well, after the thread cancelling the MM tech day and no other post having been made in it's place, i'm sure there are a good many people who thought the idea simply vanished leaving that open again.

[Sawyer]

That whole day is open for me, so I can do whatever.

[Georgia Cracker]

I look forward to seeing everybody there. Alec (miataspeed69) has to work 'til 5 I think, but I will be there early prepping. I'll lean on the owner to give us a little discount..................

[Sawyer]

Maybe tech day in the morning, then Mellow Mushroom at night?

[Doppelgänger]

MX5Atlanta..... now sponsored by Mellow Mushroom:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

jk!!!

[wildfire0310]

i am up, after that we can all go to a bar and drink. ****I got to get drunk sometime on my b-day***

Ummm... http://www.mx5atlanta.com/forum/mx5-atlanta-install-day-locations-part-ii-redux-t-569.html

Although a fresh date and location was asked for, I think most people forgot that Ben offered up his dad's shop for use.

There was no concrete plans set for the 22nd, and if Ben really wanted to make it known, there would have either been a) a change in his initial thread with updated information or b) a new thread stating that the 22nd tech day was still on and the location had been moved.

Ya got to wave a bight color flag in front of people to get their attention, not just make one post in a thread where the title is saying an event is cancelled. The idea of a food/drink meet came up and I took the controls because no one else was and no one had stepped up on securing the tech day meet. IMO :)

/threadjack :cool:

[RotorNutFD3S]

Well, in all fairness, I think Ben has had a LOT on his plate lately and his attention is dwelling there and not on making sure everyone knows that he's offering a place to work on your car. It is what it is though. Just pointing it out is all.
I think a tech then dinner day is a good idea however.

Def. true. And if it turns out that anyone works on their car and makes the 'shroom, it's even better :cool:

[Flash13783]

I'll be there if everything goes smooth with the engine install and it's running good

[ben91]

So how bouts "tech day: suspension" in Lawrenceville, followed by Mellow Mushroom in Snellville. Obviously attendance at one event does not mandate attendance at the other, however both locations are within very reasonable distance from each other.

I'll have 1 or 2 miatas that will need suspension. Both of mine should be pretty fast; they're both southern cars that have had their suspension off before. But I've never had coil overs of my own before, so I'd appreciate help from someone with experience. I know at least 2 other people here need suspension work. With a lot of hands, lifts, and air tools it will go by quickly. Plus there should be time to get additional cars on a lift(s) for other things, depending on when things get started.

[Doppelgänger]

Ben, how about posting up a time and address of where you'll be hosting so I can at least add it to the first post.

**Title and first post edited to reflect morning/afternoon tech day**

[CaveRacing]

All of this sounds awesome. I'll more than likely stop by the tech day to say hello and meet some people, but I have to be at the airport at 4pm to pick up a friend. So, at least I'll get half of the day!!

[Georgia Cracker]

I've got a set of Tein springs I need to install on mine. Shocks were installed a few years ago, and it is a southern car, so it should go smooth. I wonder if we can fit it in?

[ben91]

2570 US Hwy 29
Lawrenceville, GA 30044
10 AM ?

[JennB]

If we're doing suspension, I'll get some springs for my car bring them along. Since I am useless in helping with suspension work, I'll help provide lunch or breakfast or something.

I think keeping it to one subject is a very good idea. If everyone brings different parts and pieces it will take hours and hours to do each job and a lot of people will be left out but with doing the same thing over and over, all the tools are already out and people can watch and learn and help out much easier.

[Sawyer]

If I have my springs by then I'll bring them too!

[Grantri]

Kat & I will def make the "Zoom Zoom at the Shroom" in the afternoon, I'll come out solo to Larryville to meet folks and help out. Total Miata Immersion day, I like it

[Doppelgänger]

First post updated with location for tech meet :)



Oh, I street-viewed Da 'Shroom and there is TONS of parking for everyone!!

[CaveRacing]

I'll help provide lunch or breakfast or something.


I'm pretty useless when it comes to mechanical stuff....I know a little, but I choose to keep it all bottled up inside. Therefore, I'm good with helping bring breakfast, donuts, whatever. Jenn, I could give you a hand with this if you want.

I'll be happy to pick up the tab for the food, as well

[ben91]

Cool cool. Looking good.

Shop is called Atlanta Import Auto. It's a blue steel and red brick building on the right side if you're heading north on 29. Between Abra Collision and something-er-other small car lot. Across from a new-ish school.

Shop has plenty of tools, but if you think you have something you might want to bring, bring it. With a bit emphasis on spring compressors, looks like we'll need a couple to keep things moving fast. But we should be ok, the facility is much nicer and better equipped than the one we were discussing earlier.

If people get hungry, there's plenty of food available within a couple miles in all directions, including a hole in the wall type bbq joint a block away. Beer drinkin is definately permissable.

Also, there will probably be 2 large dogs present. So it's best if you're not afraid. Because they'll just chase you down. :whistle:

[Sawyer]

I can bring a spring compressor.

[MeFryRice]

I hope you have your springs too! :)

[belvnmx5]

I have springs and sways to install! Also have tools I can bring and spring compressors as well! Thanks for offering a new location!

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

I can bring the tools I used for when I did it, I also have spring compressors.

[FE3tMX5]

...Also, there will probably be 2 large dogs present. So it's best if you're not afraid. Because they'll just chase you down. :whistle:


as in one of the dogs that bit your face? :jawdrop:

[ben91]

No, that ****head will not be there. :lol:

[lance]

All of this sounds awesome. I'll more than likely stop by the tech day to say hello and meet some people, but I have to be at the airport at 4pm to pick up a friend. So, at least I'll get half of the day!!


Going to the airport also. Off to Singapore again. Atl to NJ then Sing Air non stop to Singapore

[RotorNutFD3S]

Sounds more like a suspension day than a tech day. :lol:

I'll be there to help out at least.

[amaff]

Sounds more like a suspension day than a tech day. :lol:


There's a difference?

[RotorNutFD3S]

Not really. Just making a joke about the lack of variety of "tech" work to be done.

[ben91]

Not really. Just making a joke about the lack of variety of "tech" work to be done.


That's actually the point though. The lack of variety makes it easy on everyone.

[amaff]

Not really. Just making a joke about the lack of variety of "tech" work to be done.


as was I. 90% of 'tech days' I've been involved in were suspension related lol

[Doppelgänger]

I'f I get my *** in gear and get some long wheels studs, i'd like to install them and my brake cooling ducts on that day too...

[MeFryRice]

Not really. Just making a joke about the lack of variety of "tech" work to be done.


Well no one wants to replace valve seals. :(

[Grantri]

"Well no one wants to replace valve seals. :( "

Thats "on my list" for the 96 along with a cat back, the 92 wants bushings & sways, they both want roll bars but there is no $$ to feed the habit. At the mo they are both running well and I'm just gonna have to be happy about that

[RotorNutFD3S]

Not really. Just making a joke about the lack of variety of "tech" work to be done.


Well no one wants to replace valve seals. :(


No, it's just that they don't want to help you. :P

I have an idea for something to help you out... :D

[JennB]

Maybe the dinner meet should be 6 pm instead of 4. Give everyone time to get their work done and then go clean up.

[Grantri]

Dunno how well that parking lot is lit, like to see the cars in the daylight. GoJo and a change of clothes? The Shroom is pretty casual & I'm still pretty even with a little dirt under my fingernails

[RotorNutFD3S]

Yeah, cleaning up will consist of a hand/arm wash. I live an hour away. :lol:

[JennB]

Does anyone really think all of this work will be done by 4pm? If so, fine... I'm just saying.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Not really. Just making a joke about the lack of variety of "tech" work to be done.

I have no idea how to change them, sounds like something that needs to be dne in a sanitary environment though.

[Doppelgänger]

I dunno how I feel about changing the time.. i'm sure some people might want to get there ~4 because they'll be doing stuff later...but I also agreen with your point. Most people don't even show until a bit later then the posted time anyway.

[JennB]

So the verdict is... don't whine about waiting if people doing the tech day are late. It's quite possible we will not be there right at 4pm.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Well we'll just have to see how it goes. I like 4pm as it doesn't mean the whole day is completely taken up. We have phones anyway, so if people start running late they can get in touch.

[Doppelgänger]

OK, Jack agrees with 4pm... so now I must change it.....





















jk!

[belvnmx5]

Well, I will be at the install location right at the posted time. I also live about 10 minutes from the MellowMushroom. So plan to be at both and hope not to take too long on my install. The lift SHOULD make things go pretty quickly...

[mustangtomiata]

And this is Miatas not jeeps so things most always go smooth and normal.

[belvnmx5]

And this is Miatas not jeeps so things most always go smooth and normal.


You just doomed us all!!!banana

[Sawyer]

I'll be a little late to the tech day. I have a work meeting from 8:30 - 10:00. :(

[MeFryRice]

You suck! :P

[Sawyer]

No, Chili's sucks!

[MeFryRice]

You need to quit that place.

[Sawyer]

Trust me, I would if I could!

On Topic:
Are you taking Cracker or did you want to wait and ride with me in The Un-Named Orange Car?

[deerock]

i be durr for the mellowshroom meet.

maybe the tech day...

[MeFryRice]

Trust me, I would if I could!

On Topic:
Are you taking Cracker or did you want to wait and ride with me in The Un-Named Orange Car?


I dunno. I haven't thought that far ahead. We can take Cracker if you want??

[Sawyer]

Ok, but if the springs come in by then we'll have to take mine too!

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

OK, Jack agrees with 4pm... so now I must change it.....



















jk!


Don't you sass me or

http://www.myspacecomedy.com/image/ban-hamster.jpg

I didn't realise I was arguing for change. We just need to get there and get working on the cars and see how it goes.

[Doppelgänger]

w00t... just a few days away!

[MeFryRice]

Ok, but if the springs come in by then we'll have to take mine too!

If the springs are in (which I am expecting them to be) by this weekend then we'll just take your car! :)

[Sawyer]

That works!

[Doppelgänger]

there will be 2 MSMs loosing the 4x4 look on sat.......

[MeFryRice]

cool beans! :)

[RotorNutFD3S]

I think I'm going to tear down the 6-speed trans. while I'm there.

[MeFryRice]

Have you received that yet?

[RotorNutFD3S]

No, that one is still in the air so to speak. The seller is having packaging issues.

I'm getting Ben's as well. :)

[MeFryRice]

well what are you going to do with the spare?

[RotorNutFD3S]

Kinda depends. I know someone that wants a good one, but it's looking like that may fall through. I considered keeping one as a spare just in case, but one will probably end up getting sold, to who is unknown at this point.

[wildfire0310]

most likely someone on this board will keep bugging him until he finally sells it.

[ben91]

Fix it and flip it. You don't need 2.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Yeah, that's what I thought. And I have someone that wants it, but I'm impatient when it comes to people making up their minds, so yeah... IDK yet.

[MeFryRice]

Well I'll take it if all else fails. :)

[RotorNutFD3S]

We shall discuss it at some point then. :)

[MeFryRice]

we'll discuss it later tonight. :)

[RotorNutFD3S]

If we must. lol
I'm going to see if I can sneak printing out the Mazda workshop manual at some point. Be nice to have their guide when I start the teardown.

[MeFryRice]

Why are you tearing one of them down for?

[wildfire0310]

Why are you tearing one of them down for?

I know the one ben has doesn't go into first

[MeFryRice]

Oh ok. i'm assuming that's the one that will be torn apart then.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Yeah, since the other one is up in the Washington, D.C. area. :)

[MeFryRice]

Well I wouldn't mind paying for shipping to use as a "deposit". ;)

[RotorNutFD3S]

It all depends on if the one Ben has is easily repairable. We'll see. Don't get too far ahead of the game. lol And the seller is having a hard time doing the shipping thing. I may end up driving up there after all.

[MeFryRice]

haha I'm not. :)

[wildfire0310]

**** man, that would suck to have to drive. Depending how soon you go, I am off work right now.

[Acro]

I'm gonna try and be there. Being jobless kinda hurts the running around, but I'll try to show up.

[wildfire0310]

I'm gonna try and be there. Being jobless kinda hurts the running around, but I'll try to show up.

yea I know that feeling. I got laid off the next day after meeting up with you.

[MeFryRice]

That stinks! No one is guaranteed to have a job these days. :(

[RotorNutFD3S]

**** man, that would suck to have to drive. Depending how soon you go, I am off work right now.

Well, it won't be during the week if I go, it'd be a quick go up, get it, and return immediately sort of deal. Definitely a weekend deal.

[wildfire0310]

That stinks! No one is guaranteed to have a job these days. :(

yea I know. people wonder why the military start to look like a good option

[wildfire0310]

Well, it won't be during the week if I go, it'd be a quick go up, get it, and return immediately sort of deal. Definitely a weekend deal.

Well if you do, hit me up if you need a hand and if I am free I'll be more then willing to go help.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Well if you do, hit me up if you need a hand and if I am free I'll be more then willing to go help.

I appreciate it! Looks like I'm about to start making a habit of full weekend drives for cars/parts. lol

[wildfire0310]

I appreciate it! Looks like I'm about to start making a habit of full weekend drives for cars/parts. lol

Yea I know the feeling. I need to go to NY and get my dad's old (fully loaded) tool boxes.

[RotorNutFD3S]

That could be combined into one drive depending on how large they are...

[MeFryRice]

If you take the shaggin-wagon, I'll be more then happy to join the madness. :)

[RotorNutFD3S]

Heh heh, road trip in the Previa. Wooohooo!!!

[wildfire0310]

Heh heh, road trip in the Previa. Wooohooo!!!

sounds like a blast.

[RotorNutFD3S]

sounds like a blast.

Yep! In all it's whistling fury! lol

[ben91]

Spoke with my dad today. He's not going to meet me until "10-ish" so I'd ask you guys to wait until 11 am or later to show.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Sweet. More time to sleep in. lol

[belvnmx5]

So we are going to start the install day at 11? Just trying to clarify...

[RotorNutFD3S]

Well, we're going to show up around 11am. So basically yeah. :)

[Doppelgänger]

will be there at 9am.....

[ben91]

enjoy sitting out in the cold while the dog tries to eat you through the window. :lol:

[Doppelgänger]

My car has heat... and taunting the dog could be youtube worthy.... lol

[RotorNutFD3S]

Haha!

My cat attacked his car and won. lol

[ben91]

My car has heat... and taunting the dog could be youtube worthy.... lol
Yeah it would probably be epic. But I don't think you'd be very happy when it was over.

[RotorNutFD3S]

I assuming yes, but does your dad have a parts washer there? I'd as soon clean the '00 head at my house, but it will give me options for stuff to do. :D

[ben91]

You're probably better off using your fancy parts jacuzzi at home instead of lugging the head around to use an old parts washer.

[RotorNutFD3S]

You're probably better off using your fancy parts jacuzzi at home instead of lugging the head around to use an old parts washer.

I drive a minivan, bringing a stripped down cyliner head isn't a problem. lol Besides, the underlying reason I wanted to bring it was to let you look at it and get your opinion. :) Gotta bring your coil pack too. :D

However, I got the intake manifold and throttle body looking brand spanking new with that fancy jacuzzi. It's awesome.

[ben91]

Yeah I will look at it of course.

[RotorNutFD3S]

I knew you were a nice guy. I don't care what anyone else says about you.

[ben91]

Bull**** on all accounts.

Is the head all assembled still? I'm assuming it is. We'll need to take the cams off. I'll throw my service manual in the trunk for the tq specs for the cam bearing bolts.

Some plastic bags and a permanent marker might be a really good idea. That way you can have the cams out while you're cleaning the cyl head out, but then still be able to correctly reassemble identified parts.

[Acro]

I'm not gonna be at this one. Things came up, and I need to get away from Atlanta for a little bit. Get my mind off things. Roadtrip to N. Carolina ^..^

[RotorNutFD3S]

Right...
Yeah, still assembled.
Already have a box of sandwich bags and a sharpie standing by. :D

[CaveRacing]

I'm not gonna be at this one. Things came up...

Same with me. Luckily, I don't have any tech stuff to do on my car. I think you guys have your hands full, anyway.

Have a great time!

[ben91]

Same with me. Luckily, I don't have any tech stuff to do on my car. I think you guys have your hands full, anyway.

Have a great time!
LOL, It was the dog wan't it? ;) She's really a sweetie, just scarey looking.

Your presence will be missed. I don't know if I can handle that many Goy on my own.

[ben91]

Somebody bring a fancy DSLR and we can get some pics in. Shop's got a nice field in the back that would work.

[CaveRacing]

I don't know if I can handle that many Goy on my own.

That's funny right there. :D

[JennB]

I'll bring my camera but I am allergic to cold so I may not move around much. It's supposed to be like 20 something degrees Saturday morning.

[belvnmx5]

I will definitely be bringing my camera....

[wildfire0310]

i bring my camera and try to get some shots well everyone is working on the cars, which reminds me, I should clean off the memory card now.

[Grantri]

Camera, coffee and warm clothes..check, see you guys in the morning

[Sawyer]

Think we could paint my wheel hubs that day too?

[metalman]

Think we could paint my wheel hubs that day too?

Brake rotor centers?

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

why would you want to do that?

[JennB]

I've had painted hubs on a few cars now because it looked better with my old wheels that I didn't like the centercaps that came with them. Black wheels showing silver in the center = yuk

My calipers are also painted black.

[Sawyer]

why would you want to do that?

Because mine are rusty and ugly looking!:puke:

[Sawyer]

And because my springs didn't come in ( :( ) so this will give me something to do! ( :) )

[ben91]

My dad has a schedule conflict for 10am and asked me to come at 9:15 instead. So if anyone shows up a bit early it should be ok.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Is it a problem if Sean and I drop off his Miata while we go pickup a roll bar and soft top with the van? :D
Don't want to drive it too much with a messed up slave.

[ben91]

Makes little difference to me.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Cool. See you in the morning then.

[belvnmx5]

Great, I should be over that way around 10am then. Its gonna be COLD tomorrow though....I will probably forget about the sways tomorrow and just do the springs. I think I want to go ahead and get some Poly Bushings for the sways, and possibly new end links...

[belvnmx5]

Life happened to me...again!

[LagunaRoadster]

I am wishing I made this... I'll be sure to be more active here so I dont miss out again!

[RotorNutFD3S]

Yeah dude, Bryan and I were talking about you today, probably right before he called you. lol We had fun, tech days definitely need to become habit. :)

[Doppelgänger]

Hell yeah it was fun... although i'm a bit sore right now from pulling and pushing on the various suspension bits :( I'll be fine in the morning. I hope we can set up a mini day when Jenn gets the right springs so we can get them on ASAP. Looking forward to seeing the various pictures...which should probably get their own thread :)

[Grantri]

Yeah...

Enjoyed the day even though I didnt have any nifty parts to install it was nice to meet everyone & good to put faces ,cars & screenames together. Thanks to Ben & his dad for supplying the meeting place.. I'll have some pics up soon.

[Sawyer]

I had a lot of fun! Wish it was a tad warmer though..

[RotorNutFD3S]

I'm sure a lot of people wished that as well! :)
But shop/tool/lift access is nothing to turn down either. I need to go check with my dad's next door neighbor again about that shop, when the wood burning stove is going in there, it's as warm as a house.

[JennB]

We're going to need to have another get together soon to put springs on 2 MSMs

[RotorNutFD3S]

Well I'd offer up that shop, but the details are not firmed up yet, and it also does not have a lift installed in it yet either. But yet are the operative words in both of those statements. :D

[metalman]

Next time I get a complete car for parts I need to have a 'tech' day at my place and let everyone completely dismantle a Miata in a couple hours. No standing around in girlie clothes either...hehe....everyone has to grab a wrench, screwdriver, or hammer and pitch in.
You can learn alot about a car by totally taking everything part. ;)

That would be an absolute blast. Count me in for that. I would even take a vacation day for this.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Hell yeah! Me too!

[metalman]

Thanks to the Mellow Mushroom people too...I enjoyed the beer, pizza, and chat. :)

[JennB]

Yeah. Great food and a nice place to chill. We'll have to do that more often.

[Georgia Cracker]

Thanks to everyone that came out to the Mellow last night, Barbie sure appreciated the business. And I also have to thank everyone that helped me with my spring installation. Other than me leaving the front lug nuts loose it was perfect. I am very happy with the Bilstein/Tein/FatCat(bumpstop) combination, it's a definite improvement over the stock springs and bump stops. I remembered the loose lug nuts before the wheels fell off.

I would come to that! I want to help out more, but I have no idea how to do it..

[MeFryRice]

Yesterday was a good turn out and I would have helped out more but it lookedlike everything was already taken care of. :)

Mike, LMK when Jenn's springs come in and we'll do a mini tech-day. :)

[Doppelgänger]

You guys missed the Sunday fun of working on Ben's 91.... and the exhaust falling down and giving me a deep 1" split right above my left eye.

....just when I thought I got off easy Sat. with no major bloodshed lol.

Ben, you owe me some help when Jenn's springs come in ;)

[Grantri]

Heres one from Mellow ..I'll have some more up .


Count me in on the "dismantle" day too.. That would be a hoot

I woke up with good intentions on going back up there to help but I rolled over and passed back out...

I especially like the one with about 10 guys under Ben's car

"Yeah, thats an exhaust leak alright... might be coming out of this BIG FREAKIN HOLE"

You guys missed the Sunday fun of working on Ben's 91.... and the exhaust falling down and giving me a deep 1" split right above my left eye.

....just when I thought I got off easy Sat. with no major bloodshed lol.

Ben, you owe me some help when Jenn's springs come in ;)
Is your head OK today?

What was almost funny, well by funny I mean a typical for me type situation, is my Benz has a first aid kit compartment from the factory. It's in the rear package shelf. I opened its door to grab the first aid kit to get disenfectant and a bandage, when I was reminded that I removed the first aid kit and used the compartment for an amplifier. Yeah, that sounds like something I'd do. :lol:

I only got 2 minor gashes on my right pinky on Saturday, but yesterday I ended up getting a good 2" scratch on my left pointer right at the end of the day. And you got the last/only bandaid so just used a rag.

I think it was a moment of disbelief.
Good thing the smoke was colored blue, or else we may not have been able to find it. :lol:

Yeah, i'm alright for the most part. I had a headache lastnight and had a hard time reading because my left eyes is still pretty swollen (as is my forehead above my left eye). Your finger would have been better off with some TP and tape than a bandaid lol

That and the fact that I forgot a plug when I installed my first BEGi downpipe, and that noise was all too familiar, so I searched for the plug holes.

oh **** man. Glad your ok. I had all intentions to come back out but got surprised by family so I couldn't get out to help. Glad to hear everything came together.

What'd they do? Jump out from behind the couch with a b-day cake? :lol:
