Right now it's 30's in the daytime, and dry roads...but by the time you get here, anything is possible. Could be a blizzard and minus 5, lol.

Our Explorer and Subaru don't mind the snow and ice, when the 8 stays in the garage. You get used to driving in it, especially after driving through 35 winters (good grief, have I really been driving that long? :uhh: )

You can get a beer at most restaraunts; and there are lots of bars. Just stay out of the ones that you see green lasers shooting around inside...unless you like that kind of thing...

green lasers?

lol you can get a beer all over the place, its just 3/4 water with a littl pinch of alcohol. They rip you off on mix drinks too.. a jager bomb in fl was like 1/3 liquer and 2/3 drink.. here is like 1/8 liquer haha. Im really not much of a drinker though, espessially beer haha, im still young (21)

True anything is possible but lets hope for the best weather wise so I can get me car tuned if not I'll have to wait witch means I'll just end up spending my money on stippers and booz lol jk

If you want booze with your strippers you'd better be okay with pasties, if your okay with not drinking you can see it all, just depends on your taste.

You getting dyno'd at Cobb? My buddy is getting tuned on Wed. for his external waste gate. Getting tuned by John.

I would be up for a meet but I also would be driving my 92 Caddy Deville. My 8 Is asleep also :)

green lasers?

According to a news story I saw, that's how they point-out the "hotties" at gay bars. So they say.

Wouldn't know either way. I only go to bars to get drunk anyways.

:rofl: i was just kidding. I dont know whos going to be doing the tune. I'm still waiting for them to call me or email me back.

O I C. I would try calling them back, it was kinda difficult for my buddy to get a tune scheduled. They may be backed up from the holidays still.

still need larger image if bose avatar

I couldn't stand it anymore. It was such a nice day today that after a month in the garage, I drove the 8 to work. Supposed to be in the '40's and dry all week. :)

haha, good good. the sacrifices to the sun god is pleasing him make the days warmer and longer.

Nights longer yes days no lol so its been very warm (well kinda) and thats not like the norm for this time of year but hey I'm cool with it. So yea I sent a email to them today lets see what they say Wed.

Another beautiful January day, another day driving my 8 to work! What a treat.

BTW, if anyone is interested, I'm selling the spare stock hood I bought from WreakLoosE a couple of years ago, when he swapped his for a CF hood. Pickup only, PM me if interested. I think its TiGr, but not sure. Could be GG.

could use a mint stock black front bumer.. maybe for trade for a pair of old shoes or something???? lol

well just signed a lease at an apartment so we can get our own place.. over in west jordan!!! :) an apartment is quite a downgrade for us but it will be cheap and we did a short lease (9 months) to get on our feet here..

Dam I would take that hood in a heart beat but would not know how to get it back???

Hey My roommate and I are going for a ride Sunday at around 3 Is anyone up for it?

As far as I know I have no plans for Sunday, so it's a very real possibility for me. I will let you know tomorrow morning.

Busy Sunday :( and my 8 is going into the shop monday :( still don't know if the dealer or landcar or I have to pay for the repair, they have to tear it apart and see whats wrong and who's fault it is first... here's hoping I don't drive my car too hard...

Hey!! where in WJ did you move? I live right behind Jordan Landing :) WELCOME.:Eyecrazy:

Do you need any help moving?

were just a few minutes away i guess. I really dont know but were off redwood across from target. Just a few seconds south of 215. we may need a little help actually lol. Not sure what all I am bringing though, we had a bigger house before so alot of our big stuff will have to stay in storage untill we get a bigger house towards the end of the year. If I do need help ill send you a message though, thanks for the offer

I would love to ride on sunday but im so broke right now i cant afford to waste the gas lol. Maybe in a few weeks

Im a poor ass there for i cant afford 55 bucks haha!

how is that karting place? in tampa we had a bad ass outdoor one with electric cars that were so fast you were sore after driving them haha, is it similar?

This is a nice place, for indoor. The building was built just for this purpose. Outdoor places around here have gone out of business before because of lack of customers in the winter.

are they fast karts though or just average?

ALRIGHT ITS STILL ON . . Meet at Jordan Landing Circuit city at 3:30 we are leaving by 4.

Hmmm, well it was a nice ride by ourselves haha. . . maybe next time

I am still trying to get my car started. I have done the tsb from mazda and still won't start. this sucks bad!

thats wierd, any idea what the issue is?

Is it flooded? when was the last time you drove it?

Yes, it was flooded, my wife moved it and shut it down still cold! I got got running this morning after I pulled some oil through the aux ports in the intake mani. and pulled the plugs and let it sit overnite. Smoked for about 5 min. but it is running well now!

Hey guys if you know of anyone who wants some basically brand new 20" rims with new Toyo tires on them, i have a set that i took off my 8 and have been trying to sell forever with no luck.

I bought them this sumer and had them on there for about 2 months then put the stocks back on for winter. i decided i didn't need them and was strugglin with money for school so i have been trying to sell them forever haha. any way if you know of anyone who may be interested let me know.

Thanks. i prob want about 8 to $900 out of them i bought em for about $1900 and they are brand new still which sucks for me.:banghead:

I was installing some HID's in this chick's car yesterday and didn't get done until 3:45 so wouldn't have made it in time. Sorry 04.

i guess im lucky with mine. Its been turned off after only a few seconds and always starts right up. I avoid doing it but sometimes the wife forgets lol

It is always the wives isn't it! She doesn't even think about these things!

I just tell my gf that it's called 'cockpit' for reason.:lol:

I told my wife that she can drive my 8 only after she read and understood the owner's manual. I did it, so it's not too much to ask for her to read it, too.

It's been nearly two years now and she still hasn't.

lol well we bought the car for her, obviously since its an automatic.. now i get stuck driving the automatic car figures

I just picked up my copy of the 2009 Salt Lake City Rotary calendar tonight.

Jethro's Sunlight Silver '07 RX-8 is the October car! And the only 8 featured. You can just barely see bose's 8 in the background of one group shot on a different month, however. All the other months are FC & FD 7's.

I'm not sure if Shep ordered extras; I don't think he did since we paid in advance.

This so cool and it's going up in my office at work. :)


BTW, I was out at Miller on Monday. Racing fuel has not dropped one cent in price since gas prices came down! 91 octane is about the same as in town, but anything higher is still priced like it was last summer. And if that's old gas in those tanks out there, it's stale by now.

they are probably too lazy to change the prices, at least I hope. That wouldn't be right charging high prices for stale gas.

I don't get on SLC Rotary enough, I didn't even know about the calender.:lol: that's my own fault. Glad you made the cut JT, my car isn't blingin' enough to be featured, you have the nice appearance package.

Naw, all I have is front and rear rotary accents, a rear spoiler, clear corners, and chrome exhaust tips- I don't even have strakes (yet)! I think the only reason I made the cut is because I shelled-out the bucks, lol. But I definitely have the newest car on the calendar, seeing as all those 7's are at least ten years old now...the FC's are 20! Man, time flies. I can't believe it's been 29 years since I bought my FB.

For some reason I thought you did, oh well. Awesome your car made the calender either way. Did anyone go to the car show this last weekend. There were some sweet rides for sure. The new 8 is pretty freakin' nice, the new seats are orgasmic. And they changed the dipstick location to a great spot and now it comes with a 4 point strut brace.

I'm glad I took the 8 out a few days last week since it looks like the dry weather is leaving for a while, so she's back on her carpet in the garage. I managed to burn-off a half a tank of gas and filled it back up with "dirt cheap" (compared to last summer) premium.

Even after almost 2 years, it still amazes me how a spin in that car just lifts my spirits. I always get moody and a little down in winter time, probably a mild form of Seasonal Mood Disorder, but the RX-8 is a surefire cure.

Only 5 more weeks until winter's back is broken. :)


Any bets on whether the ground hog will see his shadow on Feb. 2?

I agree with you JT, driving the 8 cure whatever ails me. I love getting in cockpit and revving it to all hell. Chirping the tires, ahh it is satisfying to no end.

He'd better see his friggin shadow or I'm going groundhog hunting.

I'm sure you meah that you hope he doesn't see his shadow...seeing his shadow means winter isn't over yet. Kind of backwards, if you ask me...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_day

Unless you ski or board, then I guess a person could want winter to continue...what a twisted thought...

AH, fucking rodent and his backwards logic. Why should we trust him?:squint:

AH, fucking rodent and his backwards logic. Why should we trust him?:squint:

:rollingla

i wish i could get in and chirp the tires :(

so my car is in the shop with the transmission ripped out on a table... they showed me second gear and it had a chip in it, so they are waiting for landcar to come out and tell them if they will cover it :banghead: . Is there any way that the gear is chipped because the syncro's were not installed right the last time they ripped my baby apart and not because of the aggressive driving I do in my 8? :icon_no2: I just hope I don't have to pay for this because I was really looking forward to putting those new rims on this summer :rant: .

Anyway, congrats on the calendar JT :) . I hope we get summer soon too :eyetwitch I didn't get to board much this winter so I am ready for it to be over.

doesn't sound like fun at all bro. I'm don't know a lot about transmissions yet, so my guess is probably as good as yours. They better cover it, you don't drive any harder than I do and my shit hasn't eaten it yet.

Damn, snowboard...yep the rims won't do you any good if the tranny's dead. Keep us updated.

Ok i feel stupid asking but i have no idea what the deal is...
My cars battery died, i had to jump it, it runs fine now but the radio has no sound at all. it is on and functioning but there is no sound coming out of the speakers or anything i'm pissed. Do i have to go get it re coded at the dealer or whats the deal does anyone know..???

Thanks for the help guys.

. . . . Does your car have the Navi system? If so you have two fuses if I remember right. Just check your fuses, Otherwise run by the house tonight and we can take a look. . .

Also, Do you have the Bose? . . . And does it look just fine in the display or is it showing like every light on? Might be the radios stupid anti theft crap . . .

I don't know much at all about the audio part of any car. I barely use my radio anyway.:lol2:

Everything looks fine on the dislplay and yeah it is the bose system. i don't really drive it in the winter.... i have driven it one time since like end of October haha. I though maybe it could be a fuse but didn't check...
and no i do not have the Navi system.

I was told that it might possibly have to be re-coded by the dealer thats why i asked that. i honestly have no idea what it could be haha.

Mine did that and I have the Bose system. It was the fuse to the factory amp. It powers all of the speakers. I would start there.

I have an extra set of the ambers you can have if you want.

hey man is that offer still good? any way I can grab them this weekend or something maybe? need to get my car legal :(

Yea, It should just be a fuse. . .

hey man is that offer still good? any way I can grab them this weekend or something maybe? need to get my car legal :(

Yessir! I may even have a set of bulbs if you need them too. Let me know.:)

Sick, thanks guys i'll let ya know if that was the problem.

Yessir! I may even have a set of bulbs if you need them too. Let me know.:)

I think my bulbs are still good in there, well see though lol. Thanks alot, ill give you a pm towards the end of the week to set something up

just heard from subaru and they said that landcar denied the repair.. the guy said that it was wear from racing lol, I hate landcar... if you ever buy from a dealer and they offer you a landcar warrenty, don't take it. So in case you didn't figure it out I picked up my 8 at the subi dealer in Sandy and they offered to give me a powertrain warrenty from landcar, subaru has been pretty good about service but they are slow, they tried to say that second and third gear are the most used gears but landcar sent out a second represenative to check it out and said "no go". A mechanic there named Carl is proclaimed to have worked for mazda for a few years before coming over to subaru but im not sure how much he really knows about the 8. Anyway I am weighing my options and am going to go look at it myself tomorrow, has anyone heard of taking the new transmission in the new 8 and putting it in the older version? Im sorry but I just don't like the new style as much... I just want the more reliable trans.

Talk to Sheldon @ Mazmart his screen name is Mazmart6 on here and see what they have. I'm pretty sure the 09 trans is a direct replacement, not sure on the cost but I think a few months ago he quoted someone like 2000 for a brand new 09 trans. Plus shipping. That is a tough break though, I know how you feel though seeing as I have no engine/powertrain warranty. Sorry to hear it.

Are you over 100,000 miles? Whats up with that?

Nope, I only have 48,XXX miles on my car. Mazda North America has voided my warranty and flagged my VIN, because "my highflow cat and exhaust caused my engine to lose compression" or some BS to that effect. Which is crap cause my car runs fine and isn't low on power. So the real reason is the dealership was being lazy and wanted to bleed me dry. The only thing my car needed was coils and plugs, haven't had any problems since.

i just rolled over to 90,000 :(

yeah, looks like its because of shifting with the clutch not fully disengaged so its not covered under warrenty. its gonna cost about 1700 to replace second and third gear :-(

Move your seat forward an inch or two.

Make sure they check your clutch pedal, there are spot welds that are know to be weak and break, might be related but not sure.

if they want 1700 to fix an old transimssion, i personally would go for the brand new 09 one for 300 more

Hell if you can get a lightened flywheel and clutch installed since they are already down there. BHR can probably get you a good deal on a setup. But I still am curious about your clutch pedal assembly.:squint: The new one I bet would be around 2300 with shipping but to be sure I would still contact Mazmart for sure.

Thanks for the input guys, I will move my seat up a couple inches lol.

Have you had them check your clutch pedal bracket yet?

On a lighter note, I just ordered the BHR yukon coil kit. Should arrive in a couple weeks. I'll let you know more details when the arrive and are installed.

So my car is TICKING!!! WTF would cause that?

Where is the ticking coming from? Mine ticks after I shut her down, but it's the cat.

lol duh!!! haha jk no my engine is ticking. . . What would even cause a tick in a rotary? I dont run shitty gas at all haha

rod knock :)

^^ :rollingla

. . . . Sad thing is . . its getting worse :( Blah . . to the mazda dealership i go next week :(

Your not getting any cel's either? I really don't know, only thing I can think of is maybe an exhaust leak at the manifold, I've seen it on a few cars. Does the ticking get any louder with raising the rpm's?

Post it in the Issues and Problems forum, see if it's a common problem. Bose, what do you think about the fuel pump? Is it under the hood, or in the back?

The fuel pump is in the tank and under the passenger rear seat. I would agree with you if it was under the hood though.

. . . it ticks faster the higher the RPMS. . . but doesnt get louder. . . Its coming from inside the engine :(

Semantics Schemantics, That's what I was leaning towards. My internet diagnostic is exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold. But it's kind of a shot in the dark w/o seeing it.

didn't have them check the pedal but I did ask them about that when I talked to them, they said it wasn't that.. I get my baby back tomorrow and I am going to do a good walkaround and cleaning :-). Hey, I know it was alot of money but I am going to be sooo happy to have my 8 back and driving the rotary again lol

. . . it ticks faster the higher the RPMS. . . but doesnt get louder. . . Its coming from inside the engine :(

Sorry about the problems bro, hope you get it fixed without to much money or time :icon_no2:

Every time I read about an 8 with a problem, the next time I'm in mine I'm always listening, paranoid! My engine has been flawless in the nearly 2 years since I drove her off the lot. 8580 miles as of today. It was so nice when I opened the garage today, that I left the Explorer home and drove the 8 to work. And I rarely drive it at all in December, January, and February, scared of the salt monster. I've only put about 100 miles on her since Thanksgiving.

Say, who's premixing around here, besides me and bose?

And is anyone running any thing other that 5w20 dino oil? I am thinking of switching to Redline 5w30. Rest of the world uses that grade and we have more engine failures vs. rest of the world, and if nothing else do it to spite the EPA and their emissions.

Well on my way home from work today. . . my engine all the sudden popped and started running on like Half of the engine only then died and wont start back up. . . so its sittin down at D. Dayle mazda now :( and i have no money to even get it fixed :( sad!!!!

^If you are under 100,000 miles, and don't have aftermarket parts on there, you should get a free rebuilt engine if it's blown.

Well they said it will cost $650 to fix. . . I am just waiting on recieving a list of what is wrong :( not just one thing UGH. . Someone is out for me, First my tires stole now this :( my Mazda is most likely going to be down for a few months :(

Any one needing a nice clutch?. . . Has been laying around and need to sell it so i can get my car repaired. . .

Can you put it on a credit card and pay it off over a couple of months?

Get a small loan from your credit union?

Borrow it from a relative?

Sell some stuff on eBay?

Get a waiter job? (You'll make that in tips in a couple of weeks at the right restaurant)

Just thinking out loud...

You could whore your self out to like 16 fat chicks for 50 bucks or like 8 really fat chicks for 100 bucks.

^Quagmire reference.

Bose, that won't work. There's too many guys who would do the fat chicks for free. lol!

:rofl: I know a guy who won't even consider it unless they are slightly overweight and he is like 5'10' 140lb scrawny guy. Pretty comical.

fat chicks and rotary problems lol. I got my car back but there seems to be something wrong, if I have to take it back again they will pay grrr... anyway, is there any meets going on? I hate february and I need some support from others who know the 8, or anyone who knows about transmissions at least.

I had the same thing awile back, plugs and coils but the dealer (same one your at) paid for it because it was powertrain I guess.. just be glad you didn't have a 1800 dollar repair lol

thats alot for plugs, coils and a decarb isnt it? are you able to do the work yourself?

Im sure I could but I dont wanna tow it from the dealership haha and do it in this cold :( lol I Will have my baby back on friday :) its okay tho cuz its stormy anyways :)

thats good, there labor prices dont seem that bad for being done at a dealer.. Other than the reprogram ecu, but unfortunatly that cant be done elsewhere

Yea I called around and thats the cheapest that anyone does a repgrm for :( they charge an hour of labor. . I about died haha!!! Owell . . .Life goes on

lol glad its snowy and rainy lol it helps me cope with not having the 8 this week :)

If the snow doesn't stick I am going to put my freaking summer rims back on soon. :eyetwitch it's driving my crazy I want my grip back, winter tires are shitty for normal driving.

My Dunlops grip great in summer, but even if it's dry, they slip if the temp is below about 50-55.

hullo ya'll. Havent had a chance to post on here for a bit so I thought I'd let you know whats going on with that b8tmobile(for those of you who dont know me im the sucker in the black 8 with the black rims and the white batman sticker on the back window).

http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo283/Dariusdemon/BackInBlack.jpg

Anyway I dont know if anyone remembers my lil mishap last march where I smashed into a cement wall on I-15...twice...

http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo283/Dariusdemon/SadDay.jpg

But after I got that fixed I had a weird engine noise at higher revs where my car would sounds like chewbacca, or a suburu. It went away for a bit but it keeps coming back (accompanied by a loss of power but its possible thats in my head). Seems worse when its been running for awhile. My buddy and I think it may have something to do with an exhaust manifold hole or something but I still dont get why it would come and go like that... I drove to Long Beach this weekend and on the way there it was SO bad! sounded like it was going to fall apart! But when I got there?? HOLY HELL! I felt like I was in a Porsche! I know the air density gives us a power boost but i seriously felt like I had 30 more hp and the engine noise was back to its harmonic orgasm inducing tones. I come back to Utah though and its back to chewbacca... im doing 65 in 6th on I-80 near 13th E. I put the peddle to the metal and I actually LOST speed WTF? Its been resting for a day and when I started it up it was idling at about 3200. Thats alot higher than normal for my 8 but It was running just fine again afterwards...weird stuff...I also have and engine light turn on every so often but it goes away on its own. The first time this happened i took it to autozone and they told me it was because my intake was making me run lean so I've been hesitant to take it anywhere right away when the engine light pops on because its usually gone by the next time i start it up. Anyway some weird stuff... :uhh:

P.S. If you've never had a chance to drive your 8 at sea level i recommend you plan on it sometime! You'll fall in love with it all over again! and incase the above picture horrified you i assure my 8 is prettier than ever! as you can see here! vv

I think your describing the marbles in a blender that is often referred to. What octane rating are you using, how many miles are on it, better yet how many miles are on your current plugs, and coils? Is the cel solid or does it flash? Also could potentially be a dying cat. Sure does looks good though.

pretty sure thats the noise my car was making and well lets just say im gettin my plugs and coils changed and a few other things, then ill let ya know if that does the trick

mine did occasionally, I found that if I premix, it sounds and runs great!

Good to see Darius still among the living!

I think the gravel in a can sound is only on start-up...thats what I experienced, and, like raleigh, it went away when I started premixing (at 4,000 miles, now at 8,500).

hmmm... Well it's an 05' with 43k. Its definitely not just on start up. It actually sounds best on start up and its seems to get worse the longer i run it. Like i said on the way to Long Beach it sounded absolutely horrid. I've never put anything but Chevron premium in it. I bought the car with 19k miles on it so I'm sure the coils and plugs have never been replaced. You think thats it? I really dont wanna go to the dealer...:eyetwitch

oh and about the engine light. It usually comes on solid and it only does it during winter months... Its usually when i drive it hard but sometimes it comes on for no apparent reason. Only once has it flashed. Whats the difference? Should I be scared?!:scared:

Ill tell you if that sound goes away on saturday. . .

Don't take it to the dealership, buy the coils and plugs and call me, I will do it for lunch which is a lot cheaper than a dealer's labor rates. Don't be scared, just don't procrastinate on it. The solid cel can mean a ton of different things, a flashing cel is a misfire. Last year just after winter started mine started doing this, changed plugs and coils and began premixing, my car has never misfired or any cel's other than my cat that threw a code in the summer, but that's unrelated. I would be willing to bet your coils and plugs are tired and not doing their best. You'll need to look around for the best prices. I got my spark plugs from sparkplugs.com and my coils from the dealer. It's going to cost like 200 in parts, but it will make your car much happier.

On a side note I am getting my BHR coil kit on 2/18, I can't wait to install it.:lol2:

I bought my coils at the dealer for $33 each, and the plugs at Summit Racing for $15 each, I also relpaced the wires. It still made noise when the secondaries opened, The premix is the only thing that made it go away. Winter gas is mixed differently than summer gas, it is mixed to burn at colder temps, so in the rotary, it tends to detonate early. I believe that is alot of the problem.

I think it's our cars way of saying 'fuck you, move somewhere warmer!':lol:

But seriously, your coils and plugs are due, and I will help you if you need, lunch or not.

Alright so an update on my car, They called me today saying they did all that stuff that i previosly listed and its still running like shit, They did a compression test and it has very low compression .. .and said he would do a few more tests and give me a call tomorrow. . Sound like they are pullin my chain?

sounds like new engine time!

What's very low compression? I was told the same thing, mine is been running fine. There are a lot a variables that go into a compression test, rpm, was the engine fully warmed up, is the battery in good condition and are the connections good. I would personally ask to see the results. But if you can get a new engine under warranty HELL YEAH.

I wonder what other kinds of 'tests' they are doing.

Sounds similar to mine before I got my new engine.

as for the winter tires handling like crap, I think mine handle pretty damn good considering there is like a 4 inch sidewall lol

I just hope everything gets sorted out for you guys let me know if you need any help.

I just hope everything gets sorted out for you guys let me know if you need any help.

Thanks Bose. I might just take you up on that. Hell I'll even buy you DINNER! haha. It'd be fun to do it with you because I know nothing but the very basics about the renesis. I think you're probably right about the engine light Raleigh, because I ONLY get the light during winter months. Doesnt seem to matter what the temperature is outside because it even does it during warm spells.

Oh and some more good news! Someone hit my car in a parking lot! Im working security here at CR England and when I got off the other day I noticed that my passenger side exhaust housing is completely demolished and my bumper is popped out a little bit and scratched. Better yet, no note and we dont have any cameras on the parking lot. Sigh....:rant:

is your car silver?

Nice Tim :lol:, his is black. Didn't you know
there is a curse of the blacks too.:;)

Sorry to hear Darius, seems like it's hitting you all at once.
I'm free on weekends, Tuesday and Friday nights. Let me know.

I'm getting the BHR coils on Thursday and might be installing them this weekend, we could have a plug/coil replacement install day.:)

sounds like a party woo hoo haha.. curse on blacks? please dont say that!! I want to upgrade to an r3 someday ya know!!

Happy V-day for all you people who have someone to love, for all the rest of us happy single awareness day lol.

ok, problem with second gear is still here after basically two rebuilds of my trans... taking it in tomorrow to yell at the dealership and anyone else around. I would guess that its a shift fork or something because they already replaced syncro's and gears...

^Did you look at the clutch pedal bracket, as bose suggested?

My second gear is always a bit notchy when the tranny's cold, but once warmed-up it smooths out.

Valentine's Day cost me a total of over $300 this year, counting dinner and gifts- and thank God the jewelry was on-sale. So you're at least saving some bucks, snowboard!

Well after two years of mulling it over, I finally ordered myself a set of strakes. I opted for the polished stainless-steel from RX8strakes.com, figuring it an excellent price for metal strakes. Also I've read good things about the fit of these strakes. Seems the stock strakes rub your paint off where they touch sheet metal. Bose, I may need your assistance once they show-up, if you're available. Hopefully they'll be here before the end of the week.

Well I have GREAT news. . . I got a call today saying they ordered a new engine and its covered under Mazda!!!! YAY also they are putting my new ACT clutch on while they are in there :) good good good news

That's excellent new 04. Glad to hear it's getting fixed and congrats on the new clutch. Woo Hoo.

JT I have school on Wednesday and Thursday night but am free every other day.

Snowboard, Defiantly check your clutch pedal assembly, also what kind of trans fluid is in there, it needs to be a GL-4 grade. Mazda once upon a time was reccommending and may still be using a GL-5. Which is bad for the soft brass syncros causes a lot of wear. So you may need to switch to something with friction modifiers removed.

We deff need to get a meet planned her in the next few weeks or something :) That is after I break in my new engine :)

That shouldn't take too long. Do you know if it's a new one, or a reman out of North Carolina? I've heard great things about the new reman's, and there is a member on the forums who works there rebuilding them his SN is Sleepzy-Z.

Im pretty sure its a rm. . . .

Sweet, Mazda has put a lot into their reman program lately, and they have been producing very nice reman's. I'm stoked to see it running and how my engine stacks up to a fresh one.

Yup im really excited about the feel of my new clutch :) Clutch Kit # ZM8-HDMM ZM8-HDMM $447.08

ACT
HD Heavy Duty Pressure Plate
MM Modified Disc
Quicker engagement, Quiet operation, Improved friction material and/or hub strength


WOOT!!! Happy day!

Hey JT do you still have that hood by chance?

Pretty sure he does. . .

One of these days, when I can afford a rental, I will take my 8 in as I am sure the compression is well below where it should be! Good news for you though, I thought I saw your car parked at D. Dahle yesterday when I drove by!

I still have the hood, bose. You want it? $125 picked up, or $135 delivered anywhere in the valley. Still got my cell number?

That shouldn't take too long. Do you know if it's a new one, or a reman out of North Carolina? I've heard great things about the new reman's, and there is a member on the forums who works there rebuilding them his SN is Sleepzy-Z.

I believe that ALL warranty replacements are remans. The only exception is if there are none in the pipeline, and the waiting time becomes excessive.

I will let you know for sure on Friday-Saturday, I do still have you number. I have a crazy idea in my head I'll need to take a good look at the hood and see if it's feasible.

I have wondered about my engines health for the last year and a half about. Mazda says I have low compression but I really can't understand how. Only thing I can surmise is they incorrectly performed the compression test, but I am going to find out when I install my plugs.

yes I looked at the clutch pedal bracket and it seems fine. took my car in today and they are replacing the master clutch cylinder under warrenty because my clutch pedal felt soft? and they are working on the rough shifting problem... in the meantime they gave me a impreza to drive for free, yay! good for the snow that is coming i guess :-). I used that redline tranny fluid before the last time they worked on it so it probably has the stuff they put in it now but I like the redline so I will put it back in when I get everything feeling right in the transmission.

Well I have GREAT news. . . I got a call today saying they ordered a new engine and its covered under Mazda!!!! YAY also they are putting my new ACT clutch on while they are in there :) good good good news

Very good news 04. glad you didn't have to pay for something mazda should replace :lol2:. We will get that engine broke in no time at all :lol:

Hey 04, did you say you're getting a light weight flywheel put in too? I hear our 8's benefit greatly from them. makes sense too.

Bose, do you have links to where you got your coils and plugs and what not from?

yes :) Sad thing is. . I wont know exactly how much that improved it cuz im changing alot of crap haha

The BHR plugs and coils or the regular set up?
http://www.sparkplugs.com/results_app.asp?productTypeID=1&AAIA=1416844
^^^here is where I got my plugs, I just got the premium plugs.
http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=214264<<< Is where I got my coils, and they are cheaper now I paid 36 for each.

But you could try pm'ing one of the vendors here they may have better prices.
Also there is a spark plug group buy going on here:http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=166220&highlight=spark+plug+group+buy Looks like $75+shipping. for the set but it's ending soon so you would have to do it soon.

yes :) Sad thing is. . I wont know exactly how much that improved it cuz im changing alot of crap haha

How light did you get the streetlight or prolight flywheel?
I can't decide which I want.

Streetlight. . . is only like 13 and a half pounds i think. . . I ordered it forever ago haha so im pretty sure thats wat it was.

Nice, yeah I think it's like 12.6lbs, not 100% sure though.
Definitely post impressions, or let me drive it.:lol:

. . .will do. .

. . . will tell ya how it is haha maybe on a cruise one day. . . you can take it for a spin.

Don't worry your impressions will be plenty, I totally understand.:lol:
At least you don't have to drive the 8 in this crap weather.

Lol I know . . .:) I have my big beastly Cadillac to drive right now haha

Drift it in a nice open parking lot.

I can't decide which set of springs to go with, racing beat or tien h-techs. Leaning towards the racing beats, even though they cost a bit more.

Thats my next mod after of course the Greddy strut brace :) and Clear corners. . .
Should have those by the end of next month :)

I did decide im going to hold off on puttin the clutch in till I break in my engine :) then Ill put the clutch in myself :) otherwise they are tryin to charge me 250 to put it in haha !! yea right. . In about a month does anyone wanna help me put my new clutch in? :) Then i will be able to notice the difference from Stock to not!

I will let you know for sure on Friday-Saturday, I do still have you number. I have a crazy idea in my head I'll need to take a good look at the hood and see if it's feasible.

Remember that it's aluminum, so if you want to mod it, welding will be tricky. It's thin. You'll have to use fiberglass.

I was going to mold it; (still might) and possibly make a custom hood down the road.

If you decide to buy it, let me splash a quick mold off it first. Won't hurt it a bit.

then Ill put the clutch in myself

Just be sure you have a good set of fairly tall jack-stands, at least a pair of floor jacks or a tranny jack, and a good creeper. These cars are LOW...

Also, remember your driveline is CF. Don't damage it!

Bose, will he have to unbolt the engine to pull the tranny?

Yes, it will need to be unbolted from the engine, the driveline removed and the cross members, and with our special little car you have to buy a special clutch tool from Mazda, otherwise it's almost impossible to do.

JT I will let you know for sure very soon.

Im pretty sure I have a shop to put it in with a hoist and a tranny jack :)

It's not easy but doable.

Why you cant just use the Clutch Alignment tool that come with the clutch?

I heard there were issues, it's doable with that tool just make it harder without mazda's tool from the thread I read.

Uhh.. :uhh: i think we Vegas peeps are homeless.... dunno what happened.

04 rx8 - was your car towed into the d dahle mazda deal on state street a few nights ago? Actually about a week ago? If so we saw it getting dropped off from car shopping across the street. kinda jokes about 1 of the 5 rx8's in utah broke down haha

Yea that was my car :( lol As shown in the previous few pages lol I get a whole new engine under warranty haha :)

I heard there were issues, it's doable with that tool just make it harder without mazda's tool from the thread I read.

Hmm when im picking up my car ill have to have them show me one to see the difference.

Sounds like a good idea, cause I'm just going off what I remember reading, but they look identical in the pictures.

Yea that was my car :( lol As shown in the previous few pages lol I get a whole new engine under warranty haha :)

It looks good man! we (me and my wife) kinda laugh because we were in the same position a little under a year ago haha. We actually parked right beside it later that night shopping at that lot for a car :lol2:

Nice lol We need to set a cruise up soon I should get my car back today or tomorrow :) they should get my engine in today

I'm free Saturday's and Sunday's, this weekend looks nice too. Let try for this or next weekend if we can. Everyone post available times, lets get this arranged.

lol if its this weekend. . . ill have to be way easy since im just breaking in the engine. . . .

im not sure what my new work schedule is going to be yet but ill post up when I find out

I'm up to my armpits in work right now. I don't know if I have a day off until the day before, at best. Keep me posted on when and where.

Once i have word on when I get my car back i will let you guys know. . . It might be best to go next weekend so I can break in my engine before the ride.

Yeah, that works for me.

Well . . as luck has it. . . I dont have my license till march 23 due to me getting a speeding ticket last fall. . . So no ride . . nor any ride with my new engine :(

Good hell, 04, you just can't get a break!

Can you take the driving class and get your license back sooner?

Hey bose, somebody over on SLC Rotary says his friend might want the hood, but if you want it I'll tell them it's already sold.

Yea its just been a lovely year for me :(

Sell it to 'em. I was trying to figure out how I could make a vented hood out of it, but there a lot more to it than just cutting some holes in it.

That's rough 04, really rough. It really is true though, when it rains it pours.:eyetwitch

This is my last weekend for my license haha so maybe a sunday drive?

Well here the final list of the things i have purchased and should be on my car by when i get my license back haha :)

Greddy front strut bar.
ACT clutch + Streetlite flywheel.
Clear Corners
Tint
And Getting my body work done :)

So Im excited but not excited. . . haha I dont get to drive a month but in that month period im going to be doing alot to my car so at the end of march it will be like driving a new car :)

i am available for a drive pretty much all day saturday

Ill find out here shortly if i get my car back today or tomorrow

nope no car till end of next week :( therefor mazda has had my car for a month!!!!! ugh owell i dont have my license so shouldnt complain

Jesus, how long does it take for them to install an engine?:icon_no2:

They say they are waiting on mazda to ship it to them :(

Lame, that's weak sauce, I hate waiting for shipping.:banghead:

JT, I'm glad the flying pig avitar is back, always liked it.

Yeah, Piggy is like an old friend. My favorite, too. :)

Look what showed-up today:

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/JethroTull1958/strakes96.jpg

I just might have to install these babies this weekend. Thanks for the offer of help, bose, but it looks like it will be a snap.

Haha that's the most artistic photo of rx-8 strakes I've ever seen.

i wouldnt mind a set of polished strakes

Haha that's the most artistic photo of rx-8 strakes I've ever seen.

Thanks for acknowledging that, Darius. It was a pain in the ass to shoot- more than it should have been. Took me about 20 tries, with 2 different cameras, and several lighting set-ups, before I got that shot. I couldn't get close enough with the regular camera, so I ended up using the HD camcorder in "still" mode. It can focus so close that the subject can almost be touching the lens, and still have passable depth of field.

I'll shoot them again once installed.

No problem JT, and if you need I'm just a phone call away. That goes for anyone here too.:)

I just got my confirmation number for my BHR coil kit, it was delayed a couple days but I could care less.:lol2: I can't friggin' wait.

Haha no problem Jethro. Props again;) hell i bet the place you got em from would pay for that haha

So im looking around for a place to buy the BHR coils but I'm only finding their reps in threads. I was looking for a website or soemthing so i could check em out and maybe get some definitive pricing and photos and what not but the one website i found was kind of a joke. However whats good enough for bose is good enough for me so i do wanna try them out but how the hell do i buy them? hahaha

And here we have them installed:

Bose, you were right, it was a snap. The only fussy part was making sure they were straight before tightening the screws down and buttoning it all back up.

Lookin good bro!!! Im still debating those. . .

Lookin good bro!!! Im still debating those. . .

Thanks! I know what you mean...it took me 2 years to finally make up my mind.

I guess nobody's cruising today, eh?

If the rain holds-off, I may take her out later this afternoon. Looks like rain on-and-off all of this week.

I will go for a cruise today, anyone else wanna go drive?

Sorry 04, you can ride with me if you want :-)

Sorry 04, you can ride with me if you want :-)

:( ugh

:( ugh

I did get to drive a white automatic and a red manual and we were right, my car does rub on something going into gear but i still don't know what to do about it since the dealer says that they can't fix it :icon_no2:. I would help you out but I don't think there is anything I can do to get your license back for you :rant:. So I will have to live with my transmission for right now and you will have to just wait for your license to be reinstated :banghead:.

Snowboard, I never got back to the computer until late, so I missed your post until now.

Can I get a raincheck?

I have to test those strakes. I swear I've got an additional 30hp now. ;)

The strakes give you additional down force. Giving you tons more gripz.

Darius, The BHR kit is pretty pricey I got mine with plugs for like $560. But I won't have to change coils for many more miles than stock coils and they have a better spark overall. They are just a small group of guys out of AZ, who find the areas in which our car can use a little help and research ways to fix them. They have been testing them for months in their own cars and them mass produce them for us. The best way to get a feel for them is to contact their head dude in charge, Charles R. Hill. Ask him some questions about it to get a feel, he's a very knowledgeable guy and very nice. He always responds to my pm's too which is nice. But there is a bit of a wait on them right now cause it seems everyone is buying them up. They are all made to order and hand made.

I went for a small cruise last night around 12 little bit of rain not so great but who cares at least it's not snow.

^Rain is good. It will wash away that damn road salt. :eyetwitch

Rain I can live with for sure.

Ya know what else is good though? BHR coils.

Check the engineering out. Good solid piece of hardware. Can't wait to put it in.

Snowboard, I never got back to the computer until late, so I missed your post until now.

Can I get a raincheck?

I have to test those strakes. I swear I've got an additional 30hp now. ;)

Raincheck accepted lol. I still have to fix my headlights so they point straight :eyetwitch, anyone know how to adjust the headlights on a sport rx8 (meaning I don't have the HID's), I don't know if its the same for both or not and I feel like a dumbass asking but I didn't read it anywhere :uhh:. Plus I have to find someone who can tell me what is wrong with my tranny :rant::banghead:. Plus I'm sure you got an extra 30hp with those strakes so I want my 8 in top condition before I do a run with ya :lol2:.

lol Like i said ***BLEEEP***. . we can adjust your lights!!! ha ha There is just three little white adjustment screws on the back of the housing. . if you weren't so blind you could see them!! JK:)

I see...hmm...and replacing my coils will make my car sound like its running on buttered cream again? I dont know if I'd say it sounds like marbles in a can....more like chewbacca in a can. And it only happens after long periods of running or climbing hills. and its worse in a high gear. Either way i need to replace my coils and plugs. i just hope that fixes the problem...

chewbacca in a can.

:rollingla

First time I've heard that description...

congrats on the upgrades bose, hope they are doing you 8 good. Does anyone have access to a garage with lifts and such?

Darius, maybe you've said it before so forgive me if I've forgotten, but do you use premix?

If not, I'll give you a free dose for one tank so you can see if it helps.

JT, what about me? I want some too lol.

JT, what about me? I want some too lol.

Ok, here's what I'll do.

I'll give you and any other local who wants to try it, a free shot of 8 ounces- one tank's worth.

OR-

I just ordered a new case, so I'll sell anybody a quart bottle for six bucks (that covers the cost of the premix plus shipping charges). That will give you enough premix for 4 full tanks at 8 ounces per tank. You'll probably want to run a few tanks before you make up your mind on it anyway.

And I still have a few of the 4-ounce squeeze bottles. I'll toss one in with every quart of pre-mix until I run out.

Sound like a plan?

well i just filled up again (on chevron premium) and my engine light came on soon after, again. It sounds and runs fine though. Sighhh...

As for premixing no I dont. I've put in some octane booster 2 or 3 times before but didnt notice anything different. What kind of premix have you been using Jethro?

Most of those octane boosters are useless, there are only like two brands that actually work, Amsoil, or Lucas. The rest have been proven to either do nothing at all, and some lower the Octane.

Premixing is completely different. JT and myself both use Idemitsu, I can tell you why I premix but it's really just preference so don't take it as a rule. I do it because I think Mazda doesn't inject the oil in our housings in the best location, and Mazda also realized it, After looking through many engine rebuild threads the general consensus is the middle of the apex seals are the area's having the most wear. Hence the addition of the third oil injector in the middle of the rotor housing on the new '09 RX8's. The problem is that the rotor housings get so hot the oil burns off before it can properly lubricate the middle of the apex seal. Premixing ensures you get the right amount of oil in the housing when you need it. The fuel injectors will spray the gas/oil mixture in the housing and coat the entire chamber making sure you get the proper lubrication whether or not your OMP pump is working or not. And it's mixed in a small enough ratio that you won't be over oiling your engine.

That's what I have concluded after a lot of reading and research on premixing and the stock oiling system.

^ What bose said. Idemitsu is good stuff, formulated especially for rotaries.

I would emphasize that premixing is supposed to lessen long-term wear on every bearing surface exposed to the incoming fuel charge.

Personally I also noticed smoother startups after only one tankful. Better lubed seals mean better compression.

Don't use typical 2-stroke oils, with the blue dye. That dye is not compatible with our fuel filters and will clog them.

Much better for starting also because you don't have to worry about the oil that's being injected getting to full temp, cause you already have oil in the housing.

The other premix I hear is good is Pettite Racing's Protek-R, but I would bet it's Idemitsu in a different bottle. You can get it from Mazdatrix.com.

Why don't we meet somewhere on Saturday for a "premix" get together? Bose and I can do an old-time medicine show, except instead of snake oil, we'll sell the crowd on Idemitsu. :lol:

I'll bring a few quarts.

Maybe dinner afterwards, at La Frontera maybe? It's a dive, but you can get a cold Tecate', and the smothered burritos are heavenly...:beerchug:

hey jethro would you really be willing to sell a quart for now? Also where do you get that from? I want to start premixing and most of the things I see from ordering online is by the case which isnt a problem but its a bit expensive for me right now. in a month or 2 when I get caught up i should be fine though :)

I have used the Amsoil a few times, I have never seen this brand. How long does it take to arrive? I am going to order a case on Friday, I can hook you up TTT if jethro can't!!

Yes I'll really sell a quart. I've got about 8 quarts of Idemitsu on-hand now, and just ordered another case. I get it from Mazdatrix, it's about $55 plus shipping. The shipping charges depend on how fast you want it. I usually just have it send UPS Ground and it takes about a week. I'll sell you a quart for $6, which is enough for 4 tankfuls of gas.

https://www.mazdatrix.com/q-supply.htm

The premix is the second item down from the top.

I just got my shipping confirmation on the new case of premix. Should be here by the end of next week, but I still have about 8 quarts from last year's case.

Im down Jethro! sounds like fun! and educational!

I'm down with that idea Jethro, I have some Idemitsu to spare I've still got 9 quarts. So I can sell a bottle or two.

La Frontera works for me. There are several locations around the valley, Sandy, West Valley, Salt Lake. I can get the exact address for any of them, cause my works fixes all their kitchen equipment.

La Frontera works for me. There are several locations around the valley, Sandy, West Valley, Salt Lake. I can get the exact address for any of them, cause my works fixes all their kitchen equipment.

I didn't think La Frontera fixed any of their equipment! :lol:

The one in West Valley is closest to me; it's on 35th south, just west of Bangerter, on the north side of 35th. Afterwards, we could drive over to Granger Park on 36th west & 35th south, just north of Granger High. Lots of parking on the driving range there, accessed from the lot on 36th west.

If that's OK, we just need a day or time. Looks like either Saturday or Sunday should be dry and warm.

If you guys want a different location, thats ok with me too.

Darius, are you working nights now? What time are you awake?

I am in! I would like to try this brand. There is a La Puente on 900 E across from Hillcrest High, or my wife's aunt owns El Rancho Grande in Draper on 123 S and about 500 E. It is an excellent resurant.

Bose, Who do you work for? Do you work on the equipment? I work for CCI, I do Commercial heating and air.

I'm pretty sure that's La Puente your thinking about. I don't care which location we might want to meet at the one on 10600 South and State or 3300 south and 1250 east there we wouldn't be far from Sugarhouse park. I like Saturday around 2 or 3 so I can wash my car. Sunday I will be installing my ignition kit.

God I am tempted to put on my summer tires right now.

SOOOOO Mazda is going to put in my new clutch and flywheel at no charge :) (cuz my old one was hashed) lol WOOT . . .

New engine +1
New clutch installed for free + 100,000,000,000

Im kinda excited!!!

Even tho I dont get to drive it for a month Sad

That's fanfuckingtastic news 04, spectacular!:ylsuper:

Bummer on the license, but still once you get it back you'll be fuckin' rockin'.

Heck ya. . . its going to be a drastic change im excited. . . Also I think I would like to start premixing now that i just replaced everything :) lol

Well, you guys decide on a place then. As long as Mike and I can get a brew, I don't care where. Give Darius a chance to see it since it looks like he's only on-line at 3 in the morning, lol.

Weatherman says tonight's storm should be gone by Friday afternoon, so Saturday is still looking good.

I was just tracking my new case of premix on-line, and it's supposed to be here tomorrow. Pretty fast for UPS Ground!

Let's have a head count of those wanting to buy a bottle of premix, or those wanting a freebie 8 ounce shot. If you want the free shot, come with a gas tank at least 3/4 full.

Hey, you finally caught a break, 04! Good news indeed!

I will be there(wherever it is) and I want to buy a bottle before I order some

Sounds like a great idea to me.
