And I need to find a time to be home LOL. If I was able to make it to the meet this week I'd just bring them to the meet and bring the spacers for Ian.

I picked up my new struts/shocks and springs on Sunday. I have no info on the springs at all so we shall see.

I'm going to start ordering the parts for the motor next week.

I just ordered a set of Russell Speed Bleeders. My plans for next week are replace the struts/shocks, springs, and bleed the brakes. I may swap in the SS brake lines while I'm at it if I have the time.

I accidentally broke off the bleeder on one of my Miata's calipers. Note to self: You don't have to really wrench on them to tighten them down, lol.

I've never heard of one breaking.

I was surprised. I didn't even put that much into it really. And I was using a tiny wrench. Oh well. It'll be fine unless I ever need to bleed that corner again lol.

Project planned for this weekend is to install struts, springs, and speed bleeders and bleed brakes.

i thought you were gonna go with re-speed coilovers? and the blues are pretty stiff...i wished i installed the adjustables with my coilovers and not the blues...

pinoyremix · Postby **pinoyremix** » Thu Jan 06, 2011 9:14

i also could have gone with stiffer spring rates with the adjustables..

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Fri Jan 07, 2011 9:14

The reason I went with these is because of the deal I got. This is just a temporary setup. I'll be going with the ReSpeed coilovers and adjustable struts over the summer.

I got my springs and struts installed over the weekend. I haven't been able to drive it yet though. I also installed the speed bleeders and front SS brake hoses.

Erod, you jinxed me the new speed bleeder in the rear passenger side snapped off when I was installing it.

Nice job. Brake the speed bleeder.

Lol, it was the passenger rear that I broke too. On a brand new caliper no less. :\
