lesper4 04-26-2009, 10:14 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDUDd-sTwws
wow what a NASCAR race finish!!! watching it live made me hold my breath and tie knots in my stomach. (do a youtube search for bobby allison in 1987 for a similar crash at talladega)
Razz1 04-26-2009, 10:24 PM Edwards got tired of his back flip so he tried a new version of it.
lesper4 04-27-2009, 11:58 AM So I reset the CPU and put the new (bosche) plugs back in with the exsiting coil pack and wires. Everthing is back to normal except for a small rough idol...
(1 week later)
...well the rough idol got worse and now the engine light is on again.
I took it to a shop, they ran the code and one of the fuel injectors is leaking. Stupid me, when i was first starting to take the plugs out i accidently started to take the injectors out. Well I guess I did not put it back scure / properly. Any way the shop is saying it will cost $378 to replace the seals and clean them. Seems out ragious since it is right on top of the engine. If I knew what to do I would do it (look were that got me the frist time).
Any suggestions? The shop also said to have a look at the timing belt, but I think I will put that off until it gets closer to the manufactures recommeded milage.
speeddemon32 04-27-2009, 01:10 PM oh wow....
yeah injector seals are about 50 cents each from the dealer... $1.50 tops.
do it yourself.
lesper4 04-27-2009, 01:31 PM yeah i want to do it myself but look where it got me, i need supervising eyes :(
kwescott 04-27-2009, 01:47 PM yeah, and if you're not confident, I would definately recommend not playing with anything fuel related in your engine.
kwescott 04-27-2009, 01:49 PM Forza Monday....for those interested, there is a free car being sent out by Forza....all that you need to do is find the Ford Mustang gift thread on Forzamotorsports.net and post in the thread. They will gift you a copy of the car.
http://forzamotorsport.net/default.htm
http://forzamotorsport.net/news/pitpassreports/major_nelson_saleen.htm
I posted in the thread today, not sure how long it takes to get the car...maybe by tonight?
lesper4 04-27-2009, 02:32 PM done
Jedi54 04-27-2009, 02:52 PM Finally pulled the trigger.... my new wheels!!! http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=172577
lesper4 04-27-2009, 03:58 PM those looks great jeorge, so when do we IE'ers get to see them in person.
Jedi54 04-27-2009, 04:01 PM hopefully soon.
I've been itching to make it out to a meet again, been FAR too long since I've been out there.
Maybe we'll throw another B-day bash @ Keith's this year.
I'll bring the Carne Asada if you guys want.
kwescott 04-27-2009, 04:33 PM June is not too far away Jorge....we could always do an early/mid May bash.....??? since the Vegas cruise is in June....?
Jedi54 04-27-2009, 04:36 PM May sounds awesome. Let me know when, I'm there!
P.S. thanks for the comments on the wheels.
xrider01 04-27-2009, 07:39 PM so, i got a new manager.
she moved me to a new desk where there's significantly LESS privacy from my old desk, and she's also cut my hours in half! i got bills to pay! :(

speeddemon32 04-28-2009, 09:35 AM damn Jedi... thos wheels are hawt!
Seriously. I love em.
nice to see someone else loves silver as well. it seems everyone only wants some verssion of black thse days. I just dont get it.
I wonder how they would have looked on a pretty yellow RX-8??????
Jedi54 04-28-2009, 09:38 AM haha, thanks speed!
Yeah, I've never been a huge fan of black wheels on black cars. I will admit, the look has grown on me some after seeing certain cars here but for me, I knew it had to be Silver.
Hmmm... someone photo chop those onto speed's old car, now I'm curious.
Detrich 04-28-2009, 12:43 PM <-- is still pining for 2009 R3 wheels.
Jedi54 04-28-2009, 12:48 PM R3 wheels would look good on your car. Just keep checking the F/S section, I'm sure you'll start seeing more of them and the prices should drop.
speeddemon32 04-28-2009, 01:00 PM yup. after a while they will be easy to come by.... well at last not AS hard. and the price will not be as high either.
Jedi54 04-28-2009, 01:04 PM maybe by then Gerry will have hit the 10,000 mile mark! ;)
Detrich 04-28-2009, 01:11 PM maybe... am coming up on 9k lol
lesper4 04-28-2009, 01:38 PM so sad :(, she si still a baby and yet getting old.
so i guess that suggestion thread of changing the banner worked
Jedi54 04-28-2009, 01:46 PM yup, I like the new banner.
Detrich 04-28-2009, 02:53 PM ditto
Detrich 04-28-2009, 02:56 PM jedi u need ur avatar & siggy updated with ur new wheels :)
xrider01 04-28-2009, 07:51 PM almost the end of the work-day :)
vipers 04-29-2009, 12:18 AM here you go keith as promised
keith: 50.8 ..... 49.4 ...... 48.0 and the only one to get into the 40's out of your group of 27
casey: 49.1 ..... 47.8 ...... DNF (on account of me crashing)
jesse: 46.3 ..... 46.9 ..... DNF (i crashed)..and me and casey were the only 2 in the 40's in a group of 21
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 12:20 AM you crashed?
vipers 04-29-2009, 12:40 AM yeah.... hit a turn too hot and spun..but since we were on a road coarse, and not an open parking lot, i hit a big dirt hill, and slid on it, and backed into a chain link fence
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 12:40 AM fence???
no bueno. any damage?
vipers 04-29-2009, 03:10 AM need a new rear bumper, and hopefully fix my front bumper... and figure out what set my CEL to turn on
lesper4 04-29-2009, 10:13 AM bummer, i guess that time attack course is not as safe as the autocross course. at least it is nothing major.
speeddemon32 04-29-2009, 10:31 AM Yeah Jesses "misshap" was a double whammy. not only did it major suck for him, but it screwed me as well. My last set (the set he crashed on) was by far my fastest lap. because of his mishap I never got a timed run. I was second fasest of the night, but still 1.5 seconds behind Jesse. I know I would have been right there with Jesse on that last set.... but of course Jesse had to go and mess that up for me.... thanks Jesse!

speeddemon32 04-29-2009, 10:34 AM Jesse.... I dont htink you need a new bumper. I dont see why that is not fixable....
Did you try to pop it out.... you might want to do that soon. (that will help you see if it is fixable.
maybe take it into a shop?
SnowFl8k 04-29-2009, 10:42 AM ^^^^ Shhhhhhh! Maybe this is his way of getting "approval" for a new bumper;)
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 10:49 AM ^^ haha, Erica knows this 'game'. :D:
Jesse: at least you're taking it all in stride my good man. I agree with Casey though, try and pop that thing out. Might get away with just a respray
speeddemon32 04-29-2009, 10:53 AM well if Jesse WANTS a new bumper, then fine. bit the less he spends on fixing the damage the more he has to spend on other new toys..... see how this works? :-)
speeddemon32 04-29-2009, 10:58 AM here you go keith as promised
keith: 50.8 ..... 49.4 ...... 48.0 and the only one to get into the 40's out of your group of 27
casey: 49.1 ..... 47.8 ...... DNF (on account of me crashing)
jesse: 46.3 ..... 46.9 ..... DNF (i crashed)..and me and casey were the only 2 in the 40's in a group of 21
Oh damn. Keith and I were close. only .2 seconds off.... close one Keith! :Eyecrazy:
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 11:11 AM love the picture where all you see is a cloud of DUST.
speeddemon32 04-29-2009, 11:23 AM yeah, when they stoped me I was facing the cloud of dust. at first i couldnt even tell who it was.
SnowFl8k 04-29-2009, 11:29 AM well if Jesse WANTS a new bumper, then fine. bit the less he spends on fixing the damage the more he has to spend on other new toys..... see how this works? :-)
damn....you guy are better than i give you credit for!:eyetwitch
TheAbsence 04-29-2009, 12:03 PM I wonder how they would have looked on a pretty yellow RX-8??????
Hmmm... someone photo chop those onto speed's old car, now I'm curious.
I finally got some time to respond to the call. Quick chop!

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/TheAbsence/oleyeller2.jpg
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 12:06 PM nice chop Absence. Damn, that looks good.
Detrich 04-29-2009, 12:14 PM sorry to hear about the spill jess... at least it wasn't serious. it's funny how the SB meet and the 626 meet are now overrun by EVO's... lol both started out as rotary meets. :P
lesper4 04-29-2009, 12:16 PM yeah not too bad, but kind of funny, is there even a bumper out there he wants? It looks like you spun in a straight away all that tourque to the wheels~
lesper4 04-29-2009, 12:17 PM it's funny how the SB meet and the 626 meet are now overrun by EVO's... lol both started out as rotary meets. :P
the SB meet still has more rotary cars then piston cars!
Razz1 04-29-2009, 12:18 PM Its not the same as X box.
Just need more practice. Good thing its not worse. If you pop that out you will have a slit in the plastic.
Can anyone say spray can?
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 12:20 PM S p r a y C a n
dozer 04-29-2009, 12:21 PM i have pretty good can control :yesnod:
Razz1 04-29-2009, 12:25 PM We know you can control booty!
You like square butts you can not lie........
lesper4 04-29-2009, 12:33 PM just testing
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 12:41 PM what's going on in Thousand Oaks?
Razz1 04-29-2009, 01:12 PM Square butt parade! woo hoo!
speeddemon32 04-29-2009, 02:13 PM nice! Thos wheels DO look HAWT on Yellow!
Man, makes me want to buy a yellow 8. :)
kwescott 04-29-2009, 02:16 PM maybe by then Gerry will have hit the 10,000 mile mark! ;)
His tires suffer from rot, not wear.....:)
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 02:24 PM haha, the tires are going to get flat spots
SnowFl8k 04-29-2009, 02:26 PM ^^^ or just go flat! ;)
sorry Jerry....couldn't resist
kwescott 04-29-2009, 02:27 PM Oh damn. Keith and I were close. only .2 seconds off.... close one Keith! :Eyecrazy:
...but then again...what is new about this....we have been that close to each other now for years....
...feel bad for you with your last run group given no time.....my last run group was plagued by red flags as well....having to run nat night without my glasses, and my inability to rev match at those tire chicanes.....that sweeper in front of the crowd was fun though, hugging that inside line and not even hearing a peep out of the tires....
found driving with the top up to be a different experience. I was talking to ERica about this on the way home, definately felt like a different car to me being underneath that verte top.....or maybe that weird feeling was from all the black widow bites from all the spiders that are proibably living in that thing still......
...all those other guys out there with all that horse power and no tires....to think how much fun they would have if they just spent a little on better rubber.
...Jessie could shatter records with better tires...even the race pros were making the same comments when they were giving the driver instructions to the second run group.
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 02:28 PM I didn't realize Gerry still owned an 8. Been YEARS since I've seen it...
kwescott 04-29-2009, 02:30 PM ghost....you need to get out to that little track some time. It was definately some fun and inexpensive to do. 25 bucks for the hour and we all got three sessions of 3 laps each.
Cheaper than an autocross, no work assignments afterwards....a no brainer in my book.
kwescott 04-29-2009, 02:31 PM I didn't realize Gerry still owned an 8. Been YEARS since I've seen it...
I think he tows it with the beemer.
SnowFl8k 04-29-2009, 02:31 PM I didn't realize Gerry still owned an 8. Been YEARS since I've seen it...
pics or its not true!
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 02:33 PM must be nice to only do an oil change once a YEAR. 2005 with only about 9,000 miles.
speeddemon32 04-29-2009, 02:34 PM ...but then again...what is new about this....we have been that close to each other now for years....
...feel bad for you with your last run group given no time.....my last run group was plagued by red flags as well....having to run nat night without my glasses, and my inability to rev match at those tire chicanes.....that sweeper in front of the crowd was fun though, hugging that inside line and not even hearing a peep out of the tires....

...Jessie could shatter records with better tires...even the race pros were making the same comments when they were giving the driver instructions to the second run group.
yeah, I know we have been that close for years now. I still ejoy when we are that close. I dont like it when either one of us beats the other by a lot.
I didnt even notice the top up once racing... I wonder if you noticed the night time more then the top? hmmm.... I dont know. jsut strange that once racing I didnt even notice, but you did.
yes, If Jesse were to get Kumhos or Hoosiers he would be faster, but I gotta say that those Dunlops he has are pretyt freakin sweet. I drove it last tiem and he had a lot of grip! i was very suprised and impressed. I don thtink there is much more then .5 - 1 second if he were to switch.
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 02:37 PM are we sure Gerry really has an RX-8?
speeddemon32 04-29-2009, 02:45 PM ghost....you need to get out to that little track some time. It was definately some fun and inexpensive to do. 25 bucks for the hour and we all got three sessions of 3 laps each.
Cheaper than an autocross, no work assignments afterwards....a no brainer in my book.
yeah, I like the competition at an autocross. MUCH tougher people to run against. real classes with real rules, electronic timers.... nice
but being one of the big fish in a small pond is fun to, no working before or after is also a major bonus. more seat time as well! reasonable cost. passengers allowed.... it is very nice as well. I just hope they keep this up for a while at least. Its was a nice change of pace.
so does that mean you want to do it again?
lesper4 04-29-2009, 02:52 PM picking on poor gerry and he is not even in the thread.
I am going to thousend oaks for a bike ride, cant decide either 68 miles or 102. the 102 is on decker and malibu canyon for a bit.
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 02:53 PM the 102 sounds like fun. No way I'd live through a 100+ mile ride but if you can do it, more power to ya Loren.
We have to get our shots in while we can. :D:
So when's Gerry going to mod his 8? Hanging out with the 626 crowd, I'd have thought he would have caved by now.
Jedi54 04-29-2009, 03:03 PM where's Cesar?
haven't seen him around lately.
Detrich 04-29-2009, 03:30 PM ^^^ :lol:
well, one thing is that i've accumulated a LOT more rock chips from the canyon runs w/ the 626 guys... was never even close to getting this many chips on the SB cruises. maybe it's the mix of other cars all kicking up shit like mad- esp the damn evo's... lol. the usual "safe distance" i leave when following rx-8s', apparently ain't enough for the mix of other cars. maybe it's the roads... wtf knows. i need to find time to do touch ups and then polish my hood & front bumper again... just been too tired from work and haven't had time... <sigh>
i find that simply avoiding looking at my car seems to work the best. :)
speeddemon32 04-29-2009, 03:37 PM hey Cesar, I have some yellow touch up paint for the 8 that was given to me when i got the car. I belive you got some to? anyways, do you want it?
Razz1 04-29-2009, 04:00 PM where's Cesar?
haven't seen him around lately.
Isn't he in Egypt?
speeddemon32 04-30-2009, 09:29 AM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxsY4lEGRBI
FastRX8 04-30-2009, 12:30 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxsY4lEGRBI Man that was hilarious. I had to keep pausing it to catch up w/ the subtitles.:lol:
Very funny stuff though.
Has it been posted in another thread here?More people need to see that.
Razz1 04-30-2009, 01:05 PM Its been posted twice already.
Jedi54 04-30-2009, 01:23 PM oh man, I was laughing uncontrollably at that video!
SnowFl8k 04-30-2009, 01:27 PM Ok.............since people seem to be on today:
Jorge: you still wanna do a BBQ at our place so you can show off the new kicks? You and Keith discussed May since we are doing Vegas in June. Next weekend (5/9) is the montly SB meet, you wanna do it then? after the meet? Carne Asada and margaritas?
We are free pretty much the whole month. Chime in guys...........are you game?
Jedi54 04-30-2009, 01:37 PM count me in!

Detrich 05-01-2009, 04:12 PM i know... i want to go, but am juggling my schedule atm... i may have to work that weekend, and it's still up in the air... =/
Jedi54 05-01-2009, 04:34 PM tell them you have the swine flu and you can't come in.
Problem solved.
xrider01 05-01-2009, 07:00 PM i saw x-men origins: wolverine this morning.
i never knew that going to the theatre early gives you a discount. between my gf and i, we only paid $12 for both our tickets at the AMC.
anyways, about the movie. it's REALLY good! and, there was also a fight scene (out of many, lol) that i'd have to say was the best fight scene out of all the sci-fi movies i've ever seen.
oh, and stay for the credits....at least about 1min. or so into them there's a little bit more movie part.
lesper4 05-02-2009, 09:02 AM speed i had never seen that video, that is pretty funny!

you think these guys are coming up the 15 or would them be going through palm dale to get to vegas? f they are leaving santa monica at 1, they should be out this way around 2:15?
Detrich 05-03-2009, 01:35 AM i liked wolverine too... the girl in there was HOT...
Jedi54 05-03-2009, 02:12 AM might have to go see Wolverine this week
xrider01 05-03-2009, 05:35 AM i liked wolverine too... the girl in there was HOT...
yea, but she was a bitch, lol.
lesper4 05-03-2009, 05:46 PM 68 miles today and i am tired, i think i will be doing 68 next week at the bike race (event) instead of the 102
Detrich 05-03-2009, 09:24 PM She wasn't a bitch... She did what she did under duress... I don't wanna spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it, so I'll leave it at that ^_^
But if that type of woman is considered a "bitch", I'd take one any day... She was a woman of character & principle...
xrider01 05-03-2009, 09:48 PM i do consider her a bitch for what she did. she didn't even ask wolverine to help! and he never even knew about the situation she was in. so yea, she was a bitch, lol.
Jedi54 05-03-2009, 10:21 PM no more Wolverine talk; there is a thread already dedicated to this topic.

SnowFl8k 05-04-2009, 03:31 PM Actually crestline would be a perfect run......besides being fun if you go the front way (up the 18 and down red rock road to the 15) it will dump you right on the 15 and its only a 10 min drive to our house :-)

El Nerdo 05-04-2009, 04:57 PM Man, I wish I would have known about this party sooner.
I've already accepted an invitation to another party w/ some friends.
Maybe you've heard of them, the Kingons.
http://www.rx8club.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=138308&stc=1&d=1241474204
SnowFl8k 05-04-2009, 05:07 PM ^^^that's ok. As priorities go we are small potatoes compared to the KINGONS! No hurt feelings.
However, we haven't heard from Brady (fingers crossed!)
Jedi54 05-04-2009, 05:16 PM El Nerdo; bring me back an Angry Whopper!
lesper4 05-04-2009, 05:39 PM jedi you got me on there twice but you dont say what each one means!
lesper4 05-05-2009, 10:41 AM Denward/Ghost or anyone, is there a card scanner (CEL reader) that i can barrow? If I was to buy one is there a paticular model/brand to get? The Portege5 light came on again!! :(
SnowFl8k 05-05-2009, 11:06 AM ^^^ didn't Cesar buy Keiths off of him???
lesper4 05-05-2009, 11:16 AM someone has his but i am not sure who, i thought it was Deward, whomever i would like to barrow it?
kwescott 05-05-2009, 12:03 PM Denward/Ghost or anyone, is there a card scanner (CEL reader) that i can barrow? If I was to buy one is there a paticular model/brand to get? The Portege5 light came on again!! :(
Does the protege have the same port as the RX8.....where the scanner actually plugs in? The RX8 is an OBDII type, which makes it significantly different from most other cars....and the reason why we had to buy the CanScan tool.
I beleive it went from Casey, to me, to Cesar...but I don't think Cesar has a need for it anymore since he has the Access Port (I could be mistaken though).....
Detrich 05-05-2009, 12:04 PM i will try to make it, pending no other unforeseen events- namely star trek. :lol: :P
Jedi54 05-05-2009, 12:05 PM protege should be OBD II compliant since it was built after '96.
RX-8 is CAN compatible so not all obd sensors can read the codes.
I was about to buy a generic code reader, it's $40.
Atilla 05-05-2009, 12:07 PM ^yeah but those don't explain the code do they??
The one I was looking at yesterday only gave me the CEL code.
FTL
Jedi54 05-05-2009, 12:08 PM http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94169
Free CD software with over 7000 diagnostic trouble codes
kwescott 05-05-2009, 12:08 PM I'll give Denward a call right now to see if he is the one who has it....but given that he recently moved....I fear that it may be packed or in a box somewhere.
Atilla 05-05-2009, 12:09 PM ok yeah, that's what i figured. Cool, guess it isn't that bad of an investment.
Jedi54 05-05-2009, 12:09 PM Loren: Autozone's won't loan you the code reader BUT if you go in, they can pull the code for you.
That might be a start.
kwescott 05-05-2009, 12:10 PM nope, he doesn't have it...he does have Cesar's midpipe though...doubt that helps you at all. :)
Jedi54 05-05-2009, 12:10 PM ok yeah, that's what i figured. Cool, guess it isn't that bad of an investment.
I figure...it's $40. Can I really go wrong with getting it?
if my Explorer throws a code, I can read it. And lets not forget...it's a Ford so it's just a matter of time. ***knocks on wood***
If Emilie's truck throws a code (although...it is a toyota so I don't think it's capable of that)
anyways. I figure it'll be good to have lying around.
kwescott 05-05-2009, 12:10 PM Loren: Autozone's won't loan you the code reader BUT if you go in, they can pull the code for you.
That might be a start.
I told Loren that about 2 weeks ago...and his response was that they don't provide that service anymore.
Jedi54 05-05-2009, 12:11 PM Cesar has it and will gladly pull your code for a generous gratuity. :)
TheAbsence 05-05-2009, 12:13 PM last month was nice, up to crestline and then down red road. i wont be there this week.
Sorry to hear that. Lets put the Civic in the back next time so we don't get stuck behind him on Silk Road.
See you next time!
As for you 8 guys, our San Bernardino drives are still looking good. There definitely is an absence of RX-8s though; you'll be surrounded in -7's. A couple EVOs, an old Eclipse DSM, a Civic, and a 240sx all show up from time to time.
Atilla 05-05-2009, 12:16 PM Super Autobac's will read it for you, but then you gotta come all the way down from Fontana Loren :icon_no2:
Tom_Brady 05-05-2009, 12:17 PM ^^^that's ok. As priorities go we are small potatoes compared to the KINGONS! No hurt feelings.
However, we haven't heard from Brady (fingers crossed!)
Sorry guys and gals....won't be able to make the party on Saturday. I have a couple of press releases to be at that weekend, as well as some rehab. My knee is doing well, and am looking forward to setting the world on fire again.
Sorry I won't be able to listen to Loren's version of Roxanne on Rock Band this weekend...make sure the windows are shut :)
Jedi54 05-05-2009, 12:18 PM Keith: that sucks, they used to at least go out ot the car and pull it for you.
Guess they stopped that as well.
FastRX8 05-05-2009, 12:20 PM I have 2.
The CanScan I bought from Keith and the Accessport.
Both of them are RX8 specific.
Doesn't Autozone or Pepboys scan them for free?
Atilla 05-05-2009, 12:22 PM ^not any more :icon_no2:
Jedi54 05-05-2009, 12:24 PM Doesn't Autozone or Pepboys scan them for free?
This recap has been brought to you courtesy of Multi Quote.
Loren: Autozone's won't loan you the code reader BUT if you go in, they can pull the code for you.
That might be a start.
I told Loren that about 2 weeks ago...and his response was that they don't provide that service anymore.
Keith: that sucks, they used to at least go out ot the car and pull it for you.
Guess they stopped that as well.
FastRX8 05-05-2009, 12:37 PM Haha.
I hit refresh, but didn't realize you guys were already on a new page.
I was responding to old posts.
Anyways, regarding the Canscan. As far as I remember, the one I have was for the RX8.
I can install the software, and you can try it, but I'm not responsible for any fried ECU's.
lesper4 05-05-2009, 12:45 PM recap in detail
autozone no longer scans the cars, pep boys, midus and sears do still provide free scans. i went to sears last time and what they told me is that it needs a full diognistic to actually read the code as nothing specific was brought up. i would like to have one general to perform this anyway.
P.S. i dont want any fryed CPU's
kwescott 05-05-2009, 12:52 PM I like my CPU's over easy.

speeddemon32 05-05-2009, 01:05 PM the CAN Scan will read any car that runs the CANbus... which is not very many at this point.
the scanner is "universal". CANSCAN also made a gui that is for us RX-8 guys (the maker owns an RX-8) that gives you cool gauges and such.... you can use this if you wish.
check out the website for more details.....
ok, looking at the interweb, I see they dont have the fancy web site they had before. I wonder if they are not doing as well???
anyways, I found this site where you can buy the add on software (which you have Cesar) http://www.obdscan.net/obdscan_rx8_enhanced_data_viewe.htm
.... ok reading more... it looks like they have a new verssion out.
it also looks like you can get the CANscan upgraded for free if you send it back to them.....
Jedi54 05-05-2009, 01:17 PM loren; how's the car running?

it also looks like you can get the CANscan upgraded for free if you send it back to them.....I was actually looking at their site after I posted that it was not compatible.
Here's what I found out.
They use to make a
CANScan-USB
CANScan-RS232
ODBScan-USB
ODBScan-RS232
I have the CANScan-USB.
They no longer make any of these, and they only make the ODBScan-Apex.
The ODBScan-Apex is a universal scanner, and it has had some firmware upgrades.
The "free" upgrade is for ODBScan-Apex owners w/ older firmware.
I don't know much about CAN bus or ODBII, but I sounds like Loren needs an ODBII scanner.
@Loren -
You can contact Harrison R&D 281-751-8836 directly and ask if the CANScan-USB will work w/ your car.
Jedi54 05-05-2009, 01:27 PM Loren: I just ordered that code reader. If it comes in by friday (I doubt but its' a possibility), I'll bring it with me.
kwescott 05-05-2009, 01:31 PM loren; how's the car running?
Last week at tennis, he said the car was still running rough, had a rough idle.
He fixed the fuel injector.
Jedi54 05-05-2009, 01:34 PM checked the maf?
Jedi54 05-05-2009, 02:49 PM where did everybody go? :dunno:
lesper4 05-05-2009, 03:26 PM no not the MAF, i cleaned vacumed around the fuel injectors and made sure everything was nice and night. i think i may need to step up to the NKG spark plugs as apposed to what i have as a next step.
we went to lunch jeorge! (islands)

This company was showing off the power of the equipment they make.
They designed this special tower just for this stunt.

Opened up my birthday present last night....It was about a month early, but Erica knew how cool it would be (since she bought it and knew what it was)....to have at the party on Saturday after the meet.
BIg box on the front porch which was very difficult to move.....a Keg-erator. :beer05:
She already ordered a half keg for it of Michelob Ultra Amber i think......so, I probably will not be picking up any 12 packs, as there will be plenty to go around.
If you don't want to drink out of a plastic cup....BYOM (Bring Yo Own Mug). :beer05:..
...oh, and for any newbies to the meet, who decide they would like ot hang out afterwards at our place......I will be carding (no joke....I have no interest in a big ticket).
Jedi54 05-08-2009, 11:44 AM you mean I have to bring my ID???? ;)
Is the keg going to be ready on time? I might have to bring my Rotary Mug.

lesper4 05-08-2009, 11:52 AM Car meet - No
Party meet - Yes (I can bring whatever is still avilable)
SnowFl8k 05-08-2009, 12:08 PM ^^^Loren, just give us a call when you are gonna leave. If you wanna bring munchies thats cool since it will be later. Or we may ask you to bring something we are running out of (like ice or something)
SnowFl8k 05-08-2009, 12:11 PM you mean I have to bring my ID???? ;)

Must bring ID....you don't act...er....I mean look a day over 8 :bootyshak
We are picking up the keg tonight (I pre-ordered it last week) so it will be nice and frosty cold by tomorrow :beer05::rock::beer05:

kwescott 05-08-2009, 12:12 PM never had beer from a keg before, it is "like" full size?
It fits mini/half kegs. Basically think about a larger sized mini fridge that has been emptied of all trays and bins, then has a large spout out the top and a hanger on the back to support a Co2 tank....
I thought I could put it on the side of the kitchen island...the height is perfect, but it is very wide and makes it nearly impossible to walk around the kitchen. I think I'll need to be creative with the placement for our party...may keep it somewhere else in non-party modes.
Picking up the Co2 and keg this afternoon...will hook everything up and will crank it to freezing temps to get things ready for Saturday. Everything else is ready to go as Erica and I have done chores all week to get the place ready.
Cesar......we may need to exchange hard drives again (so I can get some more RB2 downloads prior to tomorrow).....and do another swap to finish out the chievos after the party. Maybe I could come by today and swap. Currently at 722k online in Forza for you....may need two more nights to get you to the million.
Jedi54 05-08-2009, 12:13 PM keith: GRATS on the keg-erator, that's an AWESOME gift!!!
Jedi54 05-08-2009, 12:16 PM Wait....you're not going to the meet??????
I don't think I can make it tomorrow morning. Emilie has something to do so I'm waiting for her instead of driving two cars out to your place.
I was going to meet up with Keith in the morning to give him the carne but now I'll just bring it directly.
kwescott 05-08-2009, 12:21 PM Erica: what time should Emilie and I head over? (since I won't be at the meet in the morning)
...depends on how much work you want to get pulled into :)
Spent a couple hours getting the BBQ all cleaned and ready to go....so no need for you to come over early to get that prepped. But I would imagine that people from the cruise would be starting to show up after they finish up lunch.....1:30?
I'm hoping someone (hint hint hint) will give me a headsup when the cruise is done and people are heading over. I anticipate that they will do crestline and then end on red road.....going in the direction towards the 15. That would be the easiest to then just head south down the 15 to our place.
There is a Taco Bell, Subway, Wendys at the Sierra offramp for those who want to pick up lunch there....or we could just start grilling if people want to skip the fast food and head straight for the Jorge Asada.
SnowFl8k 05-08-2009, 12:22 PM Erica: what time should Emilie and I head over? (since I won't be at the meet in the morning)
You guys are welcome to come over whenever. Meet is usually kaput by noon-ish yeah? I know you said Emilie had something in the morning so just head out whenever you are ready. We can finish off the Cazadores before everyone gets here :puke:
kwescott 05-08-2009, 12:23 PM ..that would be my recommendation for lunch, skipping the fast food and just heading to our place for Jorge Asada....but I don't want to change plans that maybe Vipers and Speed have made for lunch afterwards as they always do for the meets.
Jedi54 05-08-2009, 12:24 PM just looked it up:
- Half Keg = approximately 7.5 Gallons of beer which should equal about 62 drinks at 16 oz each.
Should make it through the day...
Jedi54 05-08-2009, 12:26 PM I'll shoot for getting to your place by noon.
kwescott 05-08-2009, 12:27 PM Don't mean to be slow, but I got bored with looking through the past posts for the info. When is the meet and where will it be starting? Would be nice if I can attend; I am fairly new to the area. Thanks!!
Pirate City Tattoo is the meet location for the cruise. Meet time and directions are in the very first post on page 1 of the thread. If you feel you may be late, or are prone to oversleep the snooze button on your alarm, I might suggest requesting a cell number for Vipers or Speeddemon32, as they are the hosts for the meet. They leave promptly for the cruise, and a decision will be made at the meet, which roads will be taken.
If you decide you would like to hang out afterwards, just find out whom is coming to our place and follow them on the 15 to our place.

...if not, there is always Ralphs and Vons.:suspect:
FastRX8 05-08-2009, 12:29 PM never had beer from a keg before, it is "like" full size?What does that even mean?:crazy:
Jedi54 05-08-2009, 12:29 PM did someone say Cazadores???
oh man, I don't know if I should drink Tequila any time soon...
For 5 de Mayo I ended up at a local Mexican Restaurant in Santa Ana (where' I've been going for 15 years) with Emilie and one of my best friends.
We started pounding down the beer and because i know all the servers, they broke out their personal stash of Tequila and started bringing it to us. I think it was Corallejo? (VERY good stuff)
Well, next thing I know I'm fessing up to all kinds of stuff that Emilie never knew about and I'm getting "the look". :uhh: Problem is my buddy and I were too hammered to realize what were doing and we kept bring up more stuff. :banghead:
Emilie said to me the next morning, "I learned a LOT about you yesterday. I need to give you Tequila more often" (for those of you who know how long Emilie and I have been together, the fact that she learned 'new' stuff is a bit scary)
FastRX8 05-08-2009, 12:38 PM Cesar......we may need to exchange hard drives again (so I can get some more RB2 downloads prior to tomorrow).....and do another swap to finish out the chievos after the party. Maybe I could come by today and swap. Currently at 722k online in Forza for you....may need two more nights to get you to the million.No problem. I'm done. w/ COD:WAW :uzi: :ak47::ar::rl:

- Half Keg = approximately 7.5 Gallons of beer which should equal about 62 drinks at 16 oz each.
Should make it through the day...
Oh you guys are such :newbie: at this!
There is no such thing as a "whole keg". A full sized keg is called 1/2 keg and is 15.5 gallons. A half sized keg is called a 1/4 keg and is 7.4 gallons. Don't ask, it should be 7.75 gallons but no one ever said a beer man could do simple division. ;)
I ordered a 1/2 keg (which is actually a full sized keg) and is 15.5 gallons. PLENTY!! If not, we need to get some more light weight friends!:beer05:
Jedi54 05-08-2009, 01:06 PM damn it, I failed once again. :banghead:
SnowFl8k 05-08-2009, 01:10 PM Emilie said to me the next morning, "I learned a LOT about you yesterday. I need to give you Tequila more often" (for those of you who know how long Emilie and I have been together, the fact that she learned 'new' stuff is a bit scary)
Yeah, that IS scary!!! But good news is she was still there in the morning to laugh at your hangover! :mdrmed:
So, ummmm, I'll put the Cazadores aside and Emilie and I can just start sneaking it into your beer through out the night. We need some good entertainment aside from RockBand. Plus, Loren isn't going to show up until later!. :naughty:
kwescott 05-08-2009, 01:14 PM yeah, Jorge....."stuff" is girl speak for, damn, you in trouble.
kwescott 05-08-2009, 01:16 PM No problem. I'm done. w/ COD:WAW :uzi: :ak47::ar::rl:
thank you....now just need to get that 46th (secret achievment)......probably not since it is only worth 0 points.
Forza has been dead this entire weak. Struggle just to find a room that is full so I can beat up on everyone.
Can't sneak into any rooms anymore though...as when I started this week you were ranked at level 12 (amatuer)....so people were shocked when I beat them (it was actually funny as hell). They wanted to know who tuned the car and where I got them...that no way a level 12 could beat them....but now am up to level 23 (pro) and no one wants to race me anymore. :bootyshak
Atilla 05-08-2009, 01:18 PM Jorge: Step 1. Buy new shoes Step 2. Tie Shoes Step 3. RUN LIKE HELL.
Jedi54 05-08-2009, 01:35 PM damn it....I"m sooooooo screwed.
lesper4 05-08-2009, 02:35 PM I WANT FORZA 3!!!
I should be one forza of COD this monday for sure.
Yes i am showing up later I should be done with the race and back in the area by 1, if i decide not to go with mirna and her firend hiking. i imagine i will be there before dark for sure, say 5? then again it is suppsoed to be hot on saturday and if i get dehidrated beer is not the solution.
Jedi54 05-08-2009, 02:42 PM Loren: drink lots of gatorade after your race.
you'll be rehydrated
then drink beer
then drink water or more gatorade before bed.
:)
