wednesday GTG at my place for help with my car? FREE BEER

[JDSM]

well, yeah, like the tittle says, FREE BEER


I've registered for the FM summer camp and have a pile of parts on the bench that need to be on my car:

-brakes(porterfeild pads, SS lines, 1 new caliper, etc..)
-HD motor mounts
-and a bunch of stuff that escapes me right now...


If you guys would want free beer and/or soda, i can fire up the grill for some brats, or whatever...

let me know what you think, this has to happen before August, and i could really use the help.

I'm assuming this is not taking place in Canada?

sorry, yeah it is, just take the tollway northbound.... lol

kidding, it's in Mckinney, basically at the intersection of 75 and 121.

I work late so you'll probably be done by the time I get home, but I live over there too. Little blue 1990.

[JDSM]

if you think you might wanna stop by PM me and you'll get my number and address

[trickyrix]

PM sent... I'm game for free beer and a little labor.

[JDSM]

Thanks Rick.

..... any more takers if we move to a saturday or sunday?

[Awdieee]

Depending on the day you decide to do it, I might be able to swing by.

I can also bring my motive bleeder if you need to bleed your brake fluid.

Depending on the length of the "other stuff" list, you'll probably want to start on a Saturday anyhow... just in case something gets left undone. Also, I don't have any experience swapping them, but the motor mounts might take a while, and you'll probably need an engine hoist to do the deed (although I guess you could jack the motor up very carefully from underneath).

Yes it can take a while but it can be done with a floor jack. Also removing the header/exhaust manifold may be required. A 14mm swivel socket, some long extensions and a big arse breaker bar will make it easier.

I can't promise I can be there. 5 days a week working on Miatas is usually enough for me.

[Monster]

I will help. Although Black Roadster will confirm Im a complete noob. Still glad to do what i can.

[Awdieee]

Might want to get a complete list of all the parts you need to install so we can get a rough idea the time needed.

[sloked up]

depending on the heat and the time i might make it out there. i should have another miata by then :)

[Snowdoggie]

You've helped me plenty on my car so I'll be out.

I'll even pay for the pizza.

things to do before FM 2011:

-insulate tranny tunnel
-brake job (SS lines, pads, rotors, 1 new caliper, proportioning valve)
-motor mounts
-adjust rear sway bar
-heater cable adjust
-oil pressure sender
-oil change
-adjust race-seat location/padding


this will have to be next week, as i don't have any days off this week, but i'm shooting for next saturday, the 23rd...

[trickyrix]

Cool... thanks for the update.

One question... proportioning valve? Por que?

[JDSM]

I;m putting Porterfeild pads out front and stock in the rear... is it (the prop. valve) not required for something like this?



BTW, i am off work TODAY, tuesday the 12th..... anybody wanna do this tonight?

Hey Snow, i found the hose sizes for the 914...
