Random post, trying to get this thread on Page 21, so I don't keep reloading the imagss, gonna take forever on the berry at work.

would you guys mind if I also came by I pick up my car tommorow.

so 2 cars for each colour ...Winning Blue, Silver, V.Red, and P.Grey?

Nice :)

Actually 3 silvers, I wasn't in that pic.

One V. Red, and one Copper Red.

And both are TiG I believe. Unless 05 is called Galaxy Grey.

Scott are you inviting the VW?

would you guys mind if I also came by I pick up my car tommorow.

Shouldn't be a problem, ask rx8thunder, since it is his house. He had 8 8s on his road yesterday, pretty sure his neighbors think he's park of a gang.

Not as bad as when we had 15 8s on my street, lol.

Great pics pros...lmao thx! Thx for organizing the group buy!!



We could...but I have a feeling that I won't be waiting that long ;)

FYI thunder and Pros

SS insulation removed (http://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php?p=946790&postcount=64) Thunder did you take this out?? I didn't see this post before, prob rip it out tonight.

Haven't taken the green stuff. Maybe I will try that when I put in synchro saver

would you guys mind if I also came by I pick up my car tommorow.

Sure Chris, swing by. We just need to set a time. I can PM you with address...

Yeah, it's cool, just no racing up and down the street :)

It's been borning as F%#k with nothing to do my girls out of town and my cars at RPM and to make things worst I have been driving a neon.

I was kinda confused on that as well actually... when I parked beside Jonny I noticed his was a tiny bit darker. Couldn't figure out if it's because my car has been bleached in the sun or if it was because I clay barred / polished the shit outta that thing on Friday... or if it was just a different colour all together. I seem to recall the galaxy grey being a hellva lot darker though...

I thought Galaxy Grey came out in 06.

So they got rid of Tig and Lightning Yellow and Nordic Green in 04?

Did you slap on the SRT4 sticker on it yet?

Start at about noon on Sat?

love the pics so there was no mazdaspeed 8, so if I had gone I would have stood out.

Sounds good, I am gonna put my bumper on first at my house. I'll leave the fogs off, so we can trim the oil cooler guards and cut the openings at your place and swap the leds in.

It's my work car the 8 is just for fun.

I got to install my shift boot and new foam filter if there in in time.

love the pics so there was no mazdaspeed 8, so if I had gone I would have stood out.

Somewhat, we had the backend/side of the Speed Kitted 8.

We also had Thumper who's got the sides of the Speed kit.

Apparently the owner of the car can finally say it's half rally, when people ask him:

Why did you get a RX8 and not a STI?

I need to lower it, I noticed alot of members have the Tein S-Tech springs how are they and how is the ride.

I'm actually going to attempt to get the FD back on the road this Sat.
I'm hoping all things go well. I haven't driven the thing since Oct. :(

I might be able to swing by after I've done everything to the car.

What the 7s coming out, WHAT?!? Neo's coming out?!?

THIS IS MADNESS!!!

Come out on Sat, rx8thunder is lowered on S Techs, you can see how low it is with a speed kit.

Pros / Thunder,

Looks like this is how we need to wire up those resistors for the turn signals.

I'll see you at Thunder's on Saturday. Also Pros, i think you still have that pen i lent you at the tire shop..

all I can say to that is scrape scrape.

I think we robbed vleds out of all their stock!

Hey guys, im not doing anything after work on saturday, mind if i swing by your place scott? You guys know i prefer to install new toys on other peoples car rather than my own. haha

Sure buddy!!!

Absolutely! Anything you can share about how to install map lights?

What's your address Thunder? I maybe able to drop by on Saturday so we can compare Tein S-tech drop vs. my Eibach pro-kit drop.

You done your eibach drop ALRDY???

I don't even hear the gear noise, it's just 6th gear. I was on the threads, reading how some guys filled it down a bit. But what are they filing?

Nope I don't really notice noise either. Post thread plz!! I have been doing some searching. That's my theory, the 'reverse' stopper tit thing, take it down a millimeter might make a huge difference. Msged AFE waiting for reply on it.

Start at about noon on Sat?

Sounds good, as long as it isn't 9 ;) oh and BEER for this one and warmer weather plz!

So that's why you guys were driving so slow on the 401. I couldn't figure it out.

I was gonna come out to the cruise, but getting home at 2am wouldn't have bode well for getting enough sleep.

I couldn't even sleep the night before, so excited about the cruise, Rev and I were out with his friends till like 1 something, and then we were on the forums till 2.

This cruise was amazing. But no more choosing the otption to route us through pothole central with the GPS.

my gps is key with that option :)

Remember who helped me pick out the GPS Mr. Best Buy :)

Weather network says 17 deg. and sunny for Saturday (keeping fingers crossed!)

Ooooh. Scott, can I come on Saturday. This is one I'd actually wake up for. :D

LOL...ya those roads sucked, I was behind u crying for your guys new wheels. Should have stuck to map quest ;)

Who got home at 2am????? We missed the MS LY!

Ooooh. Scott, can I come on Saturday. This is one I'd actually wake up for. :D

Sure dude, will PM you the address

It wasn't too bad, actually not at all. I kept wat back from John, and those HRZ III can grip really fast for the quick swerve!

I was behind laughing watching the two of you guys swervin like crazy lol.

AFE SS - talked to the guy, basically my theory was right, some sandpaper or file and file that tit very very little 1000 of a mil. Sand test, sand test, till it feels right. Well I have my night planned.

Good luck with that one!

Aahh damn it.... Just realized that my car is due for spark plug change!!! Should have ordered them for the cruise.

Anyone know where i can get some for cheap. They want $260.00 for a set of them here!

Thx!!

Depends how long u wanna wait?

You can have my used plugs with 25k on them, there tuning the car tonight and I'm changing them for new one and if you go saturday you can have them.

It doesnt have to be right away, car still runs great. It's just going in to the shop tomorrow to try and hunt down my little electrical gremlin, and i realized that it's due for it's 56k service...

Chris,

how clean are they?? I dont know if i want to put used plugs in there. But thanks for the offer!

I don't know you can check it out and if you don't want them then they go in the garbage.

lol, OK sounds good to me, Thanks!

so you going saturday ZmFnZm?

I don't know if I can make Saturday, just remember think I have a buddies kids Bday party that day. I will double check tomorrow.

Yeah i'm in. Have to take my bumper off to get at the lights, and need to install some resistors for the LED turn signals (thunder and Pros, need to do the same so might as well make an assembly line out of it)

Noice. So I will be at rx8thunder's at 12. We have a lot of work to do.

Maybe we could do some painting of the rotors.

We can tackle the plugs then, at which point greg should be arriving to double check the work.

And we can go for a mini cruise after.

hrmmm... yet another mini meet... there's like 7 cars for this sat now..

You coming out Rev?

not sure yet.. kinda feeling dead.

scott, the maplight thing slipped my mind today. sorry. I've set up an alarm to go off tomorrow 1 min before i go on lunch so i wont forget. lol.

Kevin, i wouldnt waste your time putting in used plugs. It was nice enough for chris to offer, but its really not worth it IMO. I like to have a used set around just incase, like when jays car flooded. It was great that i had a used set lying around, but i wouldnt put them in my car permanantly, just to get my by if i ran into trouble. i can get you new plugs at a somewhat reasonable price and we/you guys can install them on saturday. Its really easy to do. After doing a few on the ground now, I actually almost prefer to do them on the ground than on a hoist. After i drove home from scarb mazda on friday, i decided to check my plugs in my driveway, took me 10 minutes, and that was with the car insanely hot. I'll PM you the price.

Yeah, bought some black paint to do rotors and some other black paint to get rid of the rust look -- they don't make center caps for CR-CAI.

Also decided to go with with black Ray Lugs -- decided that I won't be happy with Blue of any color, want the lugs to be more receeded visually. So I have some Work Lugs (blue) for sale :) Anyone interested before I post to for sale section?

Thanks Greg,

Let me know how much and i wont get Oakville Mazda to do it tomorrow. They can then just concentrate on finding my gremlin!

PM me with a price too Greg, thx

Hey Scott, hope you're on good terms with the neighbours!!! There's going to be a ton of 8's on your street!

Sounds good, as long as it isn't 9 ;) oh and BEER for this one and warmer weather plz!

Good luck. Of you're successful, I will do the same -- under your guidance :)

BTW, if any of the guys coming Sat has any reference Blue Ray discs they want to try in the HT, bring it along...

I like to freak out my minivan neighbors now and then... LOL

Remember, parking is only on one side of the street.

???? whats that??

excuse my ignorance, but whats HT?

PMs will be sent in a moment. What do you want for the lugs scott?

his home theater (also known as the room of awesominess, shangrala, room of duuuuude, etc)... after watching Hulk there.. I now know what it sounds like when GOD farts.

Scott.. how about Kung Fu Panda?! hahah

Rev is right, short for Home Theater. A dedicated room in the basement, affectionately known as the "man cave" -- completely flat black except for a white screen.

It is so much fun being a kid and an adult because the toys are so much better...

What the heck is Kung Fu Panda?

House of Flying Daggers
The Departed

Reservoir Dogs
The Usual Suspects

Good luck. Of you're successful, I will do the same -- under your guidance :)

thx! Well done!! Made a trip to home depot to buy a file (urg), took the sucker apart, filed some, put back in tested bit better, did it again etc. SMOOTH as silk now!! :) I think 6th is even easier now than OEM and made 5th that much easier. Thunder or Pros if you are having any trouble with 6th 100% file that bitch down! Went for a ride on the hwy...mmmm nice!! Couple power/speed shifts what ever, it's sweet! Oh and I also took that insulation crap out.


Maybe we could do some painting of the rotors.


Pros just turned Thunders house into a bigger/mini meet lol. I want to paint my calipers, but waiting for the decals PROS!!

Awesome results Marc, you clever mother f**ker. Hope you can make it Sat and don't foget to bring your file :)

300 would be sweet... bring that Thief!

What color do you want to paint your calipers? The only way we could get the stickers in time is if they were couriered :(

Pros / Thunder,

Looks like this is how we need to wire up those resistors for the turn signals.


http://www.v-leds.com/BlinkerWarning-Fix/Turn-Signal-Fix/6-OHM-50W-2-BULB-LED-p4783296.html#


I'll see you at Thunder's on Saturday. Also Pros, i think you still have that pen i lent you at the tire shop..

Excellent Kevin, are you grabbing screws for the mounting plates?

wow, this is turning into a hell of a mini meet. lol. Should i bring anything with me? Tools? Beer? Food?

possibly tools,

we would need a hair dryer to shrink the heat wrap if we'r still doing that for the spiced wires.

I have a spark plug socket.

And I have dielectric grease.

thunder, is your grill in working order? maybe we can start grilling up some bbq

wow, this is turning into a hell of a mini meet. lol. Should i bring anything with me? Tools? Beer? Food?

I can provide things like Lemonade and water but if you want something difernt than that, you should plan to bring it or buy when you're here -- lots of stores close by.

I will pick up some burgers and buns for BBQ.

I'll pick up enough nuts and bolts to mount the resistors. Also i will try and find some of that shrink wrap for the connections.. Or should we solder them???

kevin, soldering is the way to go, but you still need shrink wrap to go over the soldered connections to seal them up from the weather and whatnot. Electrical tape will do, but heat shrink is the best. I'll bring that with me if you want, although remember I wont be ariving until abuot 3. You just wanna wire one up with crimp connectors, quick and dirty, to make sure it works properly and to make sure you understand how the wiring is suposed to go, then you go and solder and heatshrink everything in.

Ok sounds good

LMAO!! :) Just talked to my buddy and don't have to be there till 5, so I should be good for noonish. I can't miss install, beer and BBQ...doesn't get much better than that...well if we could get a few chicks out and start making out with each other it will be like Fast and Furious lol.

I will bring the file.

PINK ;) I have a plan, but need my decals first.

What do you guys think?

Should I go with these instead for my caps?

http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=5617

Should I just get two for the rears only?

Or do all 4 all around?

Dude whatever are on it now, get those (if you can) I can't think of what they look like right now, but I know I like them.

If you HAVE to get different ones, same all around.

Do the same all around. Either paint it black or get the one's you linked to. Send the other's back because you can't get them to work on all corners

Here are the few pics I took.
