REV-illusions 03-11-2009, 09:53 AM I'd be up for this as long as it's not on the thursday...
Thumper3322 03-11-2009, 10:10 AM Where is that? I hate week night meets that are far away
Hey Rev any more CEL's? I got one this morning for no apparent reason lol. Most likely just a miss fire it will go away in a day or two.
REV-illusions 03-11-2009, 11:35 AM yeah... I got another one yesterday. Came on for about 20 seconds after I was heavy on the pedal on the highway... went out and hasn't come back since. I think it has to do with another coil going. On Sunday she started having problems turning over... that's continued. Going to buy the last 3 coils and try to install them this weekend. Hopefully that'll take care of it.
Thumper3322 03-11-2009, 11:53 AM Shitty!! Ya doubt it is the ram duct. let me know where and how much you get the coils for, I need to do mine. Finishlineperformace just raised their price from 22 - 29 :( urg. If you want help with it let me know, I can do them all in like 10 min now :)
Footman 03-11-2009, 12:14 PM Stock intake going in on Saturday morning.... MS CAI coming out....
Thief 03-11-2009, 12:20 PM Shitty!! Ya doubt it is the ram duct. let me know where and how much you get the coils for, I need to do mine. Finishlineperformace just raised their price from 22 - 29 :( urg. If you want help with it let me know, I can do them all in like 10 min now :)
Damn. I'm gonna need to do coils soon. I just know it.
Rotary Mike 03-11-2009, 12:23 PM I'm up for the meet. Friday would be better, but I may be able to do Thursday.
Can we add the topic:
7) Rotary Mike - Luckiest RX8 Owner on Earth
I do not get these random CEL, stalls, flodding, etc.
Thumper3322 03-11-2009, 12:24 PM Stock intake going in on Saturday morning.... MS CAI coming out....
So you found/bought one?!?!? or did you trade for it? Dude REV is fast as hell getting the front bumper off...now putting it back on different story...stupid fog lights lol.
Damn. I'm gonna need to do coils soon. I just know it.
We should do a group buy or something for coils.
Footman 03-11-2009, 12:34 PM I bought a stock intake, and also bought a new K&N filter.
I think I will need some help, an extra hand for removing the front bumper and re-installing it, because of the fog light and headlight washer assemblies...
Saturday morning, any local help?
REV-illusions 03-11-2009, 12:40 PM Shitty!! Ya doubt it is the ram duct. let me know where and how much you get the coils for, I need to do mine. Finishlineperformace just raised their price from 22 - 29 :( urg. If you want help with it let me know, I can do them all in like 10 min now :)
I may try and source some used ones. If I can't find any by Friday morning then I'll just order them from Scarb Mazda. I was looking at finishline as well but by the time you do the conversion, shipping, and customs the price is basically the same. Plus in getting them here you can just go right back and swap em if anything's wrong. Plus I need them asap 'cause the force is telling me that it's gonna go soon.
Saturday morning, any local help?
Depending on the time I may be able to give you a hand. You don't have to disconnect the washer lines btw. Just swing the front bumper to the side with the line attached and you can still do everything you need to do. The only thing that's a pain is reconnecting the last fog light connection.
prospectjtaz 03-11-2009, 12:40 PM why are swapping intakes, when its gonna get warmer pretty soon?
i gotta work sat morning, so im out
prospectjtaz 03-11-2009, 12:43 PM Well I got a price for coils through my guy, sent chris the quote. Maybe Al can do better if we all do them.
So far I see, Rev, Thumper, Thief, and myself.
Rotary Mike 03-11-2009, 12:46 PM I bought a stock intake, and also bought a new K&N filter.
I think I will need some help, an extra hand for removing the front bumper and re-installing it, because of the fog light and headlight washer assemblies...
Saturday morning, any local help?
Damn, I am out too. I would have liked to help on this as I need to take my bumper off too.
Footman 03-11-2009, 12:46 PM Jay,
The car is going to be lowered in April... as we all know the MS CAI doesn't really add appreciable HP gains to the engine. It adds noise mostly. I can give up some of that noise for 100% rock solid reliability in all weather conditions.
ZmFnZm 03-11-2009, 12:49 PM why are swapping intakes, when its gonna get warmer pretty soon?
i gotta work sat morning, so im out
Pros raises a good point, why do the change now, keep the MS CAI in and just tuff it out for the next 2-3 weeks then enjoy it for the summer. Then you can do the swith in the fall.
Footman 03-11-2009, 12:57 PM damn, you guys are evil.... :)
Agent008 03-11-2009, 01:15 PM Thursday sounds good for me. Count me in! I just hope I can remember on the day of the meet. Neo would always remind me before, but now he is other wise occupied more often then not.
ZmFnZm 03-11-2009, 01:15 PM We really do try!!!:lol::lol::FIREdevil:FIREdevil:FIREdevil::): )
Thumper3322 03-11-2009, 01:52 PM I bought a stock intake, and also bought a new K&N filter.
I think I will need some help, an extra hand for removing the front bumper and re-installing it, because of the fog light and headlight washer assemblies...

I can help you out, just not in the morning...so not a morning person :squint:

If can't find a good price, thinking about shipping to where pros and thunder are getting their wheels, save tons of costs. True dat!
Yup...stupid fogs!!
rotarygreg 03-11-2009, 06:49 PM jays guy or al must be giving you guys a heluva price. my cost (as an employee at the local mazda dealer) on the coils was still pretty high. i just got my coils today that i had ordered from finishline near the end of last week. I did save a bit (not a lot but it was still a little savings). so you guys that are playing closer to list price than i would likely still be saving enough money to order from finishline unless you need them ASAP. also if a few of you go in together you save on the shipping and possibly any other fees. Also, dont have them shipped via UPS if thats the case. i got juiced pretty good. ive been told by a few people now that you can avoid alot of other fees by having stuff shipped USPS for any cross border transactions.
Edit: i just recalculated everything and i actually saved quite a bit even though i got juiced on the shipping/brokerage fees. just thought i would point that out
qtwre 03-11-2009, 07:59 PM Next week is too far away to tell for sure but I'd like to think I'll be able to show up for this whenever it is.
Well
I'm going to stick with Thursday as I'm hoping to have my car back together (assuming I get my BHR Coils back) by then and providing the weather co-operates I'll be itching to go for a drive.
If anyone is interested I have a used set of coils with about 30k on them, you can have'em for free (free as in beer?). I changed them when I installed my nitrous kit, so I don't believe there is anything wrong with'em.
I bought a stock intake, and also bought a new K&N filter.

No reason why we can't meet up Thursday and Saturday.
I maybe down with this........
Who's house are we going to invade?
Next week sounds alright.. something to do on a Thurs. night. :-)
And it's local! Woohoo! lol
Sorry if I haven't been posting lately. I'm in the middle of moving into a new place and getting things ready is taking up alot of my time.
Hopefully when the new season starts we'll be able to attend more meetings. :-)
REV-illusions 03-12-2009, 10:39 AM Well

.... why couldn't you have told me that at like 5pm#!@#!@#!@#@#$%#$ I just bought my last 3 coils last night. blah well.
Thumper3322 03-12-2009, 10:43 AM get them from scarb?
@ Rev-illusions .... sorry dude
Thumper3322 claimed the Coils.
Footman 03-12-2009, 11:04 AM Well, it's this Saturday morning, I'll be doing it at my uncle's driveway in Richmond Hill. I'm going to buy that canadian tire jack/jackstand combo on sale for $46...
REV-illusions 03-12-2009, 11:05 AM yeah... got em from Scarb Mazda... got a really good deal
qtwre 03-12-2009, 11:26 AM What was wrong with your BHR coils Scott?
Thumper3322 03-12-2009, 11:35 AM Well, it's this Saturday morning, I'll be doing it at my uncle's driveway in Richmond Hill. I'm going to buy that canadian tire jack/jackstand combo on sale for $46...
Dude that's even farther. One you don't need jack stands, two just come over to my place (as long as it is nice out otherwise need a garage) and we can do it in my drive way. Closer...but whatever u want, I'm not going to richmond hill if you live at scarb town.
Footman 03-12-2009, 11:36 AM yeah, but you said you aren't going to help becaus eyou don't wake up early Saturday mornings....
Thumper3322 03-12-2009, 11:45 AM haha...dude what's wrong with noon?? I'm willing to help, but this old man needs his beauty sleep on weekends. Be at my house at noon, or if we can do it in your garage, it will be done by 1. I'm just not fond of getting up at 9 to do an install...noffin personal :)
Footman 03-12-2009, 01:36 PM Noon's too late... thanks for your help, I appreciate your forthcomingness to assist.
What was wrong with your BHR coils Scott?
I still need to speak with Ray to find out what was wrong with them exactly.
The car would barely start, didn't seem to run correctly. Timing light was indicating that either the coils or the wires were not delivering a steady spark.
I don't want to think that I damaged them during installation. I was extremely careful with the coils and wires and extra mindful to follow the directions.
Anyways, whatever the problem was....
Charles in true BHR manner spent his free time helping me diagnose and troubleshoot the problem.
I sent them back and BHR has picked up all shipping costs including a nice little credit towards my next purchase...... mmmmm turbo
prospectjtaz 03-12-2009, 01:43 PM looks like we're on WCS, if your up for it, Rev and I will head up Sat.
^^^^ Awesome Pros...
GAME ON!
REV-illusions 03-12-2009, 01:55 PM should I bring beer or anything? :p
dozer 03-12-2009, 01:56 PM ^hell yeah pre-game FTW
should I bring beer or anything? :p
Or the drink of your choice, absolutely!
^hell yeah pre-game FTW
;)
The more the merrier!
However it might be a long drive for you dozer
rotarygreg 03-12-2009, 06:24 PM wait, whats the plan here? why's everyone talking about saturday now...whats going down on saturday? i thought it was all happening next thursday.
as far as the coil thing is concerned, hows yours doing now rev?
i installed mine about an hour ago and damn, what a difference. the old ones were all spotted on the back from arcing.
i was actually gonna wait until the weather got better so that if it was a big difference in power i would be able to enjoy it, but thismorning and then at lunch my car cranked a little longer than normal so i figured better do it now.
wow. it sounds different and it pulls hard all the way to the beep now. haha. im really happy. before there was a very pronounced harshness and an almost undetectable (unless you are looking for it) hesitation at around 7k.
now its smooth as glass. starts up faster than i would have ever imagined and responds really well in the low revs (which is the reason i bought the coils in the first place, there was really not alot of throttle response just off idle). Hope yours made this much difference rev.
Edited for the sake of wcs's eyes. is this remotely better? lol
@RotaryGreg^^^^ Dude hit the return key brother, return key..... my eyes.....
Yes the thread has gotten derailed.
1) See first post. Plan is to meet Thursday at D&B
2) Prospectjtaz and Rev are coming up to my place this Saturday. Sort of an off chute thing (pre meet warm up with some Guitar Hero maybe)
3) Footman is doing some mods at his Uncles Place this Saturday morning and was soliciting help.
4) If u wanna come up to Orangeville this Saturday as a pre Thursday warm up, you are more than welcome.

prospectjtaz 03-13-2009, 09:01 AM Good luck getting footman out, he doesn't even come out to sauga, or when he does its a stretch, orangeville aint gonna happen.
You should come to orangeville, love that place. Only place near toronto, where I feel like celeb.
"Wait, is that one of those Brown PPL?"
I wonder if he's the type with the dot on the foreheadN or the one that runs around the fire, Hooling away for the rain to come down.
I also enjoy going up there, since you never see a brown guy working in the gas station, first time I went to fuel up there, thought I stepped in the twilight, seriously, I was freaked out.
Same thing goes for the cabbies, drivers aren't named brajit singh or whatever.
Footman 03-13-2009, 09:36 AM it ain't gonna happen unless it's an extraordinary event (i.e. cruises...)
Footman 03-13-2009, 09:46 AM I'll be near Bayview and Major Mackenzie.. so about 1/3 the way to Orangeville tomorrow morning at 9am.

Jay, I'm up there doing my intake swap.
Thumper3322 03-13-2009, 01:55 PM FYI - I am going to try and order some coils and ship to that place we are meeting in the states. If all goes well anyone want some coils? we can prob save on shipping. Going to order via finishline. 4 for $120us.
REV-illusions 03-13-2009, 02:18 PM i'm officially out for this sat. It's happening too late.. I need to install my coil's asap and I have proformance world to go to at 7pm....

REV-illusions 03-13-2009, 02:22 PM as far as the coil thing is concerned, hows yours doing now rev?

i was actually gonna wait until the weather got better so that if it was a big difference in power i would be able to enjoy it, but thismorning and then at lunch my car cranked a little longer than normal so i figured better do it now.
I'm going to install em tomorrow. Car is sucking balls at this point. Power in first and second is gone... the CEL went from occational flashing under heavy load to on perminately. Tempermental bitch.
REV-illusions 03-13-2009, 02:30 PM Ah, I see Chris fancies installing coils at 9am on Saturday morning as well :)
no. was more or less thinking around noon or 1pm.... gonna meet up with mark and install em. Going out tonight... no need to be up early tomorrow morning.
rotarygreg 03-13-2009, 05:34 PM Greg,
I'm gonna have to jump on your FRONT RIGHT fender and hop on that busted shock! ahahahah bounce bounce bounce!
lol, wise ass....we'll see whos laughing in a few more weeks. i was thinking of installing my suspension tomorrow....but the roads are just too crappy. plus its been a pretty crazy week and the last thing i wanna do is have to stay at work for another couple hours after my shift on saturday.
rotarygreg 03-13-2009, 06:13 PM so it looks like im gonna have to bail on this for tomorrow as well. you said jays coming out at 6ish, thats too late. its about an hour and a half drive from orangeville to where im going after, and things are kicking off there sooner than i thought. maybe next time.
Footman 03-13-2009, 10:23 PM Last minute bailers again.... why am I not surprised :lol:....
let's see how the Niagara trip turns out; I hope that isn't disappointing.
rotarygreg 03-13-2009, 10:37 PM Last minute bailers again.... why am I not surprised :lol:....
let's see how the Niagara trip turns out; I hope that isn't disappointing.
i just want to point out that i usually dont bail....just that when this was in the planning stages it was for the afternoonish, and 6pm isnt my idea of afternoonish, hence my cancelation. as for the niagara trip, ill be there for sure so no worries there.
@Footman: dude ur such a hater ...
Rotarygreg didn't bail from anything, the thread is about the Thursday meet not about the pre-meet at my place ;) (cough cough bailer cough)
See you Thursday Greg
prospectjtaz 03-14-2009, 09:17 AM yep haters, im gonna be at d and b this afternoon. i think some of em are going to performance world.
^^^I'm working on putting my car back together and getting the garage all nice and spring clean!

Footman 03-18-2009, 12:43 PM okay, so I'll go straight to the irish pub then... I need dinner afterwork anyways.
prospectjtaz 03-19-2009, 11:56 AM meet day bump
Thumper3322 03-19-2009, 12:20 PM K so here is my deal. I am getting a new CAI that is just past the meet in woodbridge area. It is SUPPOSED to be in today I should know by 4ish. If it is I am going to go get it and come to the meet (might be there late), if not I'm going to have to miss out, since I have to drive all that way on Saturday to get it. I hope it is in!! fingers crossed!!
What is the name of the pub you will be at so I can mapquest??
Thx!
prospectjtaz 03-19-2009, 01:41 PM It's called Dub Linn Gate, google it.

3.33 drinks at Dub Linn today.
Footman if your going for dinner, if you get there before 7 pm , you can bank on their half price appetizer hours.
prospectjtaz 03-19-2009, 03:42 PM Thumper whats the deal? Picking up the cai today?
Ok, its f*&^ing snowing here in Orangeville, but f&%k it, I'm still going.

We generally hang in the Parking lot for a few, if not we can be found in the Pub.

Footman 03-19-2009, 04:04 PM I can't make it before 7pm :(.....

REV-illusions 03-19-2009, 04:35 PM w00t. I managed to get management to push up the deployment time to 5:30.. which means I should be done work by about 7:30 or so... might be able to make it to this after all!
prospectjtaz 03-19-2009, 04:56 PM Recession drinks!!!
3.33!!!
qtwre 03-19-2009, 06:46 PM Jay, are you there right now looking at this on your phone?
prospectjtaz 03-19-2009, 06:50 PM I'm already here, enjoying my Keiths. Where are the rest of you "confirmed?"
WCS is on his way, Rev is napping first, Footman is coming.
And the rest are?
prospectjtaz 03-19-2009, 06:51 PM Lol, it freaks me on how Eric knows that.

Prospectjtaz posting:

Sorry about this one guys. I wasn't aware I made a post on the forum.
I think I should check up on the forum once and awhile.
But please, let me know what you guys discussed.
I need to get the FD out. :)
