  1. and all those responding that you play, are no longer allowed to give us, WoW players, crap anymore
  2. payback for that bad 5th gear synchro in the tranny I got from you back in 2002! SUFFER WELL!
  3. apparently, east coast also has slaves. If you can make it through 2 minutes, you're a masochist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxe_kwc8klw
  4. still looking... evan was very kind, but appears that it's a different coilpack.
  5. sounds like a political thread that's gonna get locked
  6. depends on how i see it. if someone is dead set and promises to show up and get the parts, i'll hold them. after that, no second chances if they flake. it's a flaw of mine. Depending on the item, if hte person wants it really badly, they can leave a deposit.
  7. one of my 8, as I noticed today while pulling off exhaust manifolds, is broken. Not sure how the engine ran that way, but the ceramic/plastic piece is broken off. Need a new one.
  8. but on the bright side, you get to look on tight fit girl butts all day. which has a drawback, because you get desensitized to it. Worse than that has to be a male OB/GYN. Imagine him coming home, the wife wants some action, and he says "honey, if I have to see one more of those today..."
  9. northern california, please. if you have a rotisserie you no longer need, I'd like to buy it from you.
  10. the formula is wrong i wanted to scare you

  12. pulled caliper off, regreased and cleaned sliders, made sure it was wound back all the way with the caliper tool. didn't have means/time to pull apart caliper and clean it, but i did notice that the anti rattle/retainer clip was binding on that side. I also 'modded' the pad by removing the extra backing plate (it's safe, I'm not that stupid ) so it's a little thinner. The rotor was still grinding a little bit against the pad, but I could easily turn and spin the wheel without any load. I took it out for a 1.5 mile test drive with some braking, and it seemed to be fine. Rotors on both sides were equally hot this time, but tomorrow's drive to work will tell. At least I have a cool blued rotor. hah!
  13. might be slight warpage, but nothing seriously bad... at least, I'll take a look at it and find out today
  14. do you think the rotor's still usable? I don't think it was actually glowing, but it was hotter than any other brake, including fronts. Mind you, I was doing very light braking, no emergency conditions, and most of the trip was freeway over 50mph
  15. yep sliding caliper. didn't have brake grease, i'll admit to that. yes, i turned them all the way back with the tool until they were in the base. Now, the passenger side doesn't drag. The driver does (and did before I pulled the pads, I noticed). Coincidentally, that wheel bearing is clicking when I spin the hub/rotor without load, probably bad. I don't know how it is under load, or if it has any effect. Without load, rotor spins perfectly balanced and straight
  16. so... update: installed new pads.. went to bed them in, got back. drove to work next day, drove home... I noticed the rotor on the driver side is blueish, and stupid hot. I spit on it, it sizzled like spitting on a hot coal. Brake pad is dragging.... what would cause this? I noticed it had a slight touch with old worn pads as well. I also found out that mid year through 05 mazda switched brakepads and design, and used thinner pads on newer models. I think the pads I got were for the older generation, and mine used newer thinner pads. However, rear left is dragging, rear right is not. In fact, it's perfect. My concern is whether the rotor on the dragged pad is toast or not. It was blueish color when I stopped (I left it in gear, no ebrake for that reason) and haven't seen it this morning yet.

  18. If it's bad puns you need, I am at your disposal, sir
  19. haha this is awesome my recent find is the beastles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJs9MOUNVwU
  20. see if you can find small honda civic fans - they're like 10" diameter 4 blade plastic units. You could position them around the waterpump pulley. Show me different angles of the radiator front and back
