Ya that's where I went to fill up I need to get the coupon on their website for 4.99lb I love the 55shot, how's the 65shot working put for you? When I get the AP from MM ill go with the 65shot we should meet up sometime I want to check out your setup. And do you know of any other 8s around here?

Ya the coupon is the key. The 65 shot is working great as far as i know, waiting for Jeff (MM) to get a new map for me so i can get some nitrous maps to him. if you keep the fuel jet on the 55 shot and switch with the 65 shot it works thats what i'm doing, tried both and the 65 makes me spin in third at 6k its fucking great. As far as 8's by me i'm the only one that has any upgrades but there is like 1 other. would be sick to meet up and see another setup for sure.

Here's a phone # for a place in Santa Ana. 714 834 0532
Wait till you guy's can get a tune and do the 75 shot like me. Above 4200 she's HOT!

damn that would be nice to have a tune 75 shot bet its great i would only dream till jeff could tune mine :)

Wait so just put in the 65jet for the nitrous and keep the 55 fuel jet in and it works fine? I gotta try that! I don't have to have a AP with a map at all for that?

I had the AP when I did that. Do it at your own risk.
The fuel jets are calibrated to increase the amount of fuel to correlate with the increase in the amount of air from the N2o. SO YOU DON"T RUN LEAN.
But when I was using the 65 shot that is the combo I used. I also have the Accessport.
I am using the 75 N2o and the 75 fuel combo right now. It does not like it below 4250 rpm in closed loop. It will detonate.Not good! The AP can't do anything in the below 4250 rpm closed loop range under full load.
MM and I have been discussing this for a bit now. And still working on a solution.

Nice to know that ya I gotta get a AP soon just I will try out the 65-55 combo tomorrow and see what it does. It might work out well cuz how rich these cars run, burn more of the unburt fuel is that kind of how it works?

Ya mine is running pretty rich under wot above the 4200 but yeah if you have the AP its easy to watch all the data just to be on safe side

Ya I think I'm going to wait till I get the AP to run the 65 shot and I'm happy with the power of the 55 shot nice smooth power till redline that's what's its all about ya dig!

Seeing Santa Rosa in the title surprised me a bit.

YA dude the 55 shot is made for the 8.

Fellow 8 in the area?

Dude we should all meet up sometime and try to get some more 8s

2008 RX-8 GT 6MT in V. Red living in Sonoma, just starting to make some mods, minor stuff so far. Looking to try some autocross in 2009.

If you guys decide to get together, drop me an email. etbiker@gmail.com

Nice to see another 8 in the neighborhood Recommend looking into BHR product he has bomb everything.

My tank ran out today. I'm sad.

Damn hate it when that happens, specially when it happens on a Friday ours is closed on the weekends :( Hey Easy did jeff say how he would like to tune for the Nos shot?

Ya well drop u an email if we meet up, we should find a place and time where we could meet and kick it check out our cars and stuff.

I went out to Infineon Sunday and took a Jim Russell class where I got to use my 8. First half of the day was drills learning the limits of the car, second half was on the track. I was paired up with a Porsche Cayman, I'm damn proud of my fully stock 8. She hung in there and didn't get dropped. Plus the these cars handle awesome in the rain (only bummer about the track time). If you ever get the chance, fully worth the money!!!

damn lucky you, usually on the Wednesday night drags its 30 bucks to run around the track 5x. maybe this March when they open for 09 we'll all have to meet up or something.

I talked with the sales guy, Glen, this morning, after completing the full day course former students get to drop in, if capacity permits, for the track portion of the course for only $250 it lasts from about 1:30 to 4. Not bad when the track bug starts biting hard enough.

I see you have a bunch of mods, you run into any issues with SMOG testing, or you return to stock for the tests?

I have never been to the track yet I was going to go 2sundays ago but my friend flaked out(pissed me off) but I would want to see what I can do 1/4 mile with the nitrous on but backfire is always in the back of my mind

Its a fun and challenging, I've been on it twice now 1st time in an Audi A4 (their car) and last Sunday in my 8, there are two corners the sneak up on you pretty fast that are over a rise. The Wed night thing sounds cool that Sebtown is talking about. If either of you head out drop me a note and if I can I will for sure meet you out there.

I passed smog like a champ with all those except the Zex installed, so RP supercat works great.

Good to know. Did you have to revert the ECU to stock? I have a few years till SMOG check. I just did my first step with the Cobb and MM's Base Cali map today, part 2 tomorrow and then the calibration runs on Sat. before sending the log off to Jeff. Can't wait to see if it really adds some power.

Next on the list is suspension, Tanabe Seven coilovers w/ TEAS. Scary money for that one, but figure if I'm going to do it, do it right...

I passed smoke like a champ with all those except the Zex installed, so RP supercat works great.

Damn thats good to know, with Zex kit you only have to pull the bottle to pass smog is that right? Cuz I think I might have to get smoged in 09.

Ya just dont have your bottle in the trunk while he is doing it and its all gravy. and Thats gonna be a nice setup Sonoma8 those the fully adjustable ones too?

Yes, here's the link if you want to check them out...

http://www.tanabe-usa.com/coilovers/seven.asp

Adding the TEAS in to as I drive a mix of road conditions and depending when the "misbehaving" mood hits, I can tighter it down and let it rip on the fly!!!

Should add I'm a gadget freak too and this whole setup is my style. Check out the part about the tie-in with the speed sensor, I'm hooked...

I know nothing about Nitrous Systems other than from Hollywood, it really give you a kick like they portray it?

I'm going to have McLea's put them in. Thinking of doing big breaks at the same time.

Anyone have suggestions/experience with any break kits?

Naa not 55-65shots like we are runnin but get to the big shots 100+ might be a kick like that but don't get me wrong the 55shot feels good. Sebtown is it noticeble gain with the 65shot compaird to the 55shot? Sorry no expearince with the big brake kits but I gotta check the setup when its done.

i would say as far as brakes the big brake kit is not really worth it on the rx8 unless your going for looks, our calipers are very strong and can hold track days quite nice, but i would suggest changing the rotors and pads i bought these and love them. http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/61A3068A0A0.aspx
http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/61A3071A0A0.aspx

umm for the 65 vs the 55 i'd say its not like WOW huge difference but your like hmm alright thats more, and logs proved it along with cobbs 0-60 test so yeah i'd recommend getting Nitrous, running the 55 is beyond safe and easy as hell to install. o and did i mention the purge kits are beyond fun, just sitting there at a stop light and some punk pulls up i usually laugh when they rev, so i give it a nice cloud of gas usually shuts them up quite fast then the whole; omg!?!?!?! is that FAST AND THE FURIOUS NOS stuff?!?!?!?!

also these are quite nice and group buy http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=161862

Sick what kind of purge kit u got? Within a month I'm getting the zex duel outlet purge kit, zex bottle heater, and BHR stealth nozzels can't wait till I get that its going to dope!

i've got the duel purge kit, a bottle heater isn't really worth it since we are running a shot under like 150. but yeah the duel purge kit is sick, you can buy longer tubes and route them farther than what it comes with. maybe dono bout that but i'm trying to find some so i can have one farther away. i still gotta get a maximizer kit and a pressure gauge. really need a pressure gauge. PINA not knowing how much lbs i have.

Ya a pressure gauge is great to have the heater will help out especially in cold weather like this. What I do is get a blanket put it in the dryer for like 45mins then put it on the bottle and it will rasie the pressure about 100lbs. And I'm also getting some gauges I think I might go with glow shift but I really want all digital gauges but a digial nitrous pressure gauge is bank like 200+bucks damnnnn!!!

o wow might be because i;m 7 shots of tanqueray in but yeah its pretty cold here no lies and like i just filled my tank and kept it close then opened it, left it open over night and closed it. purged it and when i opened it it was sooooooo cold out like 39* where i live in sebastopol and the tank had frost when i opened it no joke. (this is before i bondoed (don-doe) the hole from the nitrous line. hasn't happened since. but yeah i looked at the ditigal gauge was fuccking sick but way to $$. anywho i'm going to try that heater blanket thing great idea gonna try it tomorrow. o btw i dont have a pressure gauge of course so like does it get really really pressurized or what i'm probably like 8lbs out of 10 atm forgot i was having some fun with the purge. dude they kick ass get one you wont regret it just when some1 looks at you just a lil squirt ahahhahahah and they are like WTF and roll down the windown and wave for you to do the same. but yeah gonna do that heat thing hopefully it dont go booooom.

Sebtown thanks for the heads up on the brake kit... as I started looking at the cost I was blown away, the stock brakes worked pretty good at the track... guess I was getting mod crazy there for a minute.

Ya big brake kits are way to $$$. but those rotors i linked and those pads are badass, and they look nice too. really a huge difference i felt a real BITE on the brakes instead of just trying to hold on stopping. if you understand that lol.

guess I was getting mod crazy there for a minute.


O ya I still mod crazy! Can't wait to order some more parts on friday! Hey sebtown what kind of spark plugs and gaps do use for that 65shot?

Sebtown, those Unorthodox pulley's make any difference, reading through the postings it looks to be a 50/50% split out there of opinions....

Logic would seem to make sense to reduce rotational weight, I come from being a bicycle racer and triathlete, so I was always playing the weight game... I find it interesting that its in the motor sports world too. As soon as I learned about carbon fiber car parts I was drooling, that's what I raced on.

Ya there is a difference, it underdrives the car like 15% or something but still i put it on myself its easy ( if you have air tools) and it adds more head jerk for sure. was worth it for sure. headers umm no wasn't worth it cause i had to get it re surfaced after they had installed it so they had to pull it off and do the work and do it all over again.. i'd have to say if you dont have many mods for for the pulleys they are easy to install and you'll be happy, + they are much nicer looking. (flywheel and clutch from BHR and you'll be like wtf was i driving before ????) thats what i'm saving for after reading all the posts and info from SPEC.
also if you buy the pulleys and need help give me a shout out it took me like 20 mins no joke. i'll go for 10 this time.

Thanks for the offer to help. I think I should be fine, plus I have the RB REVi CAI coming too so I'll put them in at the same time so lots of room to work in there with the stock air box out.
