I may just order it myself though if there's not going to be a discount with the GB. I mean, if it's gonna cost the same or more than just getting it straight from Canterbury, what's the point?

I don't know if we can head up on Wednesday April 18th. We're looking to find out if David can get off work.
That's also alot of class to be missing. We're not planning on driving back to Raleigh until Monday, cuz last year was a LONG drive home after playing all morning and afternoon that Sunday.
It's easier and more fun to just wait to head home on Monday. I will want to drive up there and back with most of the group, so if everyone wants to go up Wednesday, and/or come back Sunday, then that works ok too. This is time to fellowship, so I've already dedicated my entire life that week to be DGRR only.
Plus, if any of our dates change, we will know ahead of time enough that we can adjust them as needed, so we don't lose money.

Im taking thursday off. The issue is that I work 3rd shift, so when I work wednesday I really stop working thursday morning. Im going to try to work something out with some co-workers if possible.

Just look at it this way, when you guys come out to visit you'll have a place to stay. You KNOW you wanna go to Vegas!

TC-W3? Uh, mind spelling that out for a simpleton? lol Hmm, 200 parts fuel to 1 part oil, or visa versa? HAHA, teasing of course, I'm not quite THAT simple. What amount if you have fuel in your oil? lol

2 cycle oil.... WAP! People use anything from Walmart special of the week to expensive Idemistu or whatever it's called. Some people even use MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil).

Well I know 2-cycle silly! I've never heard it called TC-W3 before. Oh yeah I've heard of MM to clean it out, I might go for that. Now I just have to convert the ratio to something more simple, like 4oz per tank or whatever, haha. Thanks Greg!

Your rotors were hungry. I've run HPS pads on two cars and on both of them the pads seemed to barely wear at all. Stock rotors, though.
Eric: I premix the 7, I usually run one ounce per gallon of MMO. If I have no MMO, I'll run about the same amount of 2 cycle oil, although one ounce per gallon is overkill, I think. Better safe than sorry, though. As for using MMO instead of 2 cycle oil, there was a huge debate about MMO vs 2 cycle in the first gen forum a little while back, if you search for that there is a lot of good info in between all the yelling and fussing.
One thing's for sure- MMO Exhaust smells much nicer than 2 cycle exhaust.

The (supposed) fallout benefit of running premix would be lower emissions. That's if you select a good two-cycle oil and block off the OMP (or MOP, I really don't care). In your case Eric, I'm really thinking it's your turbos acting up. Turbo rebuild FTW and don't worry about an engine rebuild. Didn't you say you had ~110 PSI on each rotor for the compression test?

I am not enjoying selling my car, I might just wait till after April. It really is a pain in the *** to sell online. I think I may just take it off the website and only sell it face-to-face.
Oh and nobody answered my question on where the Dragon Death Squad is assembling at.

^Yeah man, I'm running 4-5 oz per tank...ofcourse that's cuz the 8's OMP has been recalibrated so, I need not to run any more than that. By the way Eric, are you still heading back to GA to get your baby?
On a side note, I have started prepping the body kit for install. I think one of my Mazda tech buddies is gonna come over this weekend so we can fit it the car. I spent about 2 hrs yesterday fixing some of the minor cracks and chips it suffered from the trip from CA. I'll have some pics to post of the install probably this weekend.
