Where?

Oh, my place.

Castle Rock. I will pm my address to folks that plan on coming as we get nearer the date. I haven't run this through the official process in the house yet....

3 car uninsulated, un heated garage. I will have space heaters in there and it stays pretty comfortable.

As people decide they want to come and throw out those things they would like ot do, I'll figure out what tools I may need. I would actually prefer to not have people bring tools so tools don't get mixed up, but we can see what comes up.

I only have two sets of jack stands, 1 jack, a set of ramps.

If the weather is cold we can use my heated garage as a back up, should be cleared out by then.

Thanks ECAM. We'll see what happens. If we end up at your place, I'll bring the food.

Thank's for setting this up, i'll bring beer, if we need something to work on, i'm wanting to do my cabin-filter...

That would be a good project to have folks around for. Something everyone should be doing regularly, but a bit of a PIA from what I have read and been told personally by a Mazda Mech.

yup this is what's discouraged me in the past... but i'm sure mine is digusting by now (65kish) , I just ordered replacement filters

Someone updated the MSF how-to saying it was slightly less awful than he thought and he was able to do it in 30 min, which means it'll only take me 180 min. frush-air!

I'll be on winter break from school hasta pronto, so if you want to sneak it in early, we can. I tore mine down almost to the point of getting to thefilter once. I don't have my manual anymore though. Will need something off these interwebs.

Alain goes to the burbs....

I'll be at the meet if the baby hasn't come yet and the wife is doing good. I'll be there to help others.

It's not that bad, really. Not as simple as a 6 though....

Sweet thanks!
I still need to figure out how to remove the nav-systems DVD-player since its mounted in the glove box, looks like i'll be receiving the filter this week... I may get a jump start and at least take the dvd/glove box out before we work on it since we may have more nice weather coming up..

It'd be awesome if I could mount the nav-dvd somewhere else in the dash other than the glove box, i need that room!

When you tore yours down to almost the filter, were you just exploring or were you about to replace your filter and gave up or?
