So my new computer had a power management failure and I need to send it to this certified repair shop in Woodville via UPS. I'd like to send it tomorrow (Friday)...but I don't have a box to put it in. The campus post office, for some stupid reason, doesn't have UPS or generic brown boxes...they even told me to rummage around in the loading dock trash (WTF?)....didn't find one.

If anyone has a box that'll fit my computer box (9" wide, 21" long, 21" tall) could you bring it to the bookstore lot meet tonight or the O meeting? Weather permitting of course. Thank You!

I just got a new machine for detailing cars and I would like to practice on junk panels. I would prefer factory paint. The basis for this is so that I can learn the capabilities of my new machine. I plan on completely removing the clearcoat of an area to see just how easy and fast it is to do so. I also plan on making some portions of that panel look like new again. If anyone has any sort of panel to allow me to use, please pm me.

SON is this coming monday, sept. 4th, from 5pm-8pm in the Convocation center. We'll have a table set up, as usual, but thanks to Rex and Julie I've got a metric shit ton of Hankook lanyards and stickers that we'll be giving away to prospective members and people that stop by the table. Members are also welcome to them.

Come out and get us some new members and support MM!!!

We are gonna try something different, Blair had the idea of a cool little hangout during the week just to shoot the shit and get to know each other if you havent met everyone. We will be chillen at the Sheetz,Tuesday around 7:30. if its raining check the forum, we will post if it is canceled for the night, or simply call one of the officers or any MM members cell # you have. We are hoping to not only hang out but possibly publicize the club by doing this.

My cell # if need be is (Four Three Four)-Three Nine Zero-Six Three Zero Zero

Quote:RotaryNews.com has confirmed that there will be a recall on the 2004, 2005 and some 2006 Mazda RX-8s. Not every RX-8 will need a new engine, only those that fail a series of tests, including a new vacuum test. The replacement engines will correct for issues ranging from flooding, hard starting, complete loss of compression, and use of Synthetic Oil in hot climates. For those that do not require an engine replacement, the ECU will be reflashed to provide for more lubrication (an already released Flash). Recall notice letters will be sent out to owners on a staggered schedule. At this point some dealers do not know about the recall, as the bulletin has not been sent.

Jeremy Barnes from Mazda Public Relations stated: "We will not walk away from any Mazda owner." Jeremy also pointed out that other issues that have escaped on the Internet as of late were only part of the story. He hopes the recall action by Mazda will show owners that Mazda is doing the right thing after all.

We at RotaryNews say, if you own an RX-8, check over this list of TSB's (Click Here). If your car is experiencing any of the issues listed on that page, print out the ones that apply to you, and bring them down to the service department while they check your car for the other recalls. We, at RotaryNews also say: "if in doubt, do NOT use Synthetic Oil." For those of you that are "Rotary Gods" (!) and know what you are doing, it is OK, other wise stay away from synth, and use the good old Dyno Juice.

thinking about getting everyone together to hang out. talk cars. whatever. like on a tues or weds night. meet up somewhere a parking lot or whatever and just shoot the shit. can try and make it a regular thing and start to get a good crowd out.

anyone got any input?

I have a disassembled Briggs 11hp vertical shaft engine that I want to get out of my garage. I was going to bore/stroke it and put it on my riding mower but I don't have time.

It has a bad rod bearing (would have been replaced with stroke plans anyhow) but other than that it's fine and functional. It was running when I took it apart, just rattled a lot due to the rod bearing (er, bushing in this case).

The engine is around 9-10 years old and has about 6 summers of lawn mowing a 1 acre yard on it. It was well maintained, and I'm not sure why the bushing failed. It was on my Dad's mower so I never even had access to it to pull the governer and such.

Anyone want this thing? Speak up soon please.

Thanks,
Pete

Just wondering if anyone knows of any populated general JMU forums.
Mainly looking to sell/buy shit and find out if there are any computer literate people out there that can figure out NTC's internet here.

A google search only found abandoned forums. I know there's a group on livejournal, but there are few subscribers.
