Skylines D8! I'll be there!

Heh... I can make it, but there's a good chance I won't have my car so really, I can't make it :(

Also, why the downtown Dick's instead of the traditional U District Dick's?

haha i didnt even notice he changed the meet spot. lol.

I noticed but I chose not to say anything :3

I have no RX8 for a week and a half! YAY /cry

Too many clutch kicks. :)

Hahaha. University is Claiming it's not a warranty item. But it is :-) thanks to Mazda as of 2 weeks ago!

is there a tsb or what? can we all get it fixed??

no can do wed.

Heh, the thing that normally blocks me from going on Thursdays got moved to Wednesday just for this week yesterday. FML.

Mike: According to the NHTSA there is a warranty out for those: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/defect/defectsummary.cfm?inv_id=18164&type=VEHICLE&typenum=1&cmpt_id=173&prod_id=217196&make=MAZDA&model=RX-8&model_yr=2006

8 Years/100k For Clutch Bracket Assembly

On the bright side, Makristal can now clutch kick it some more into the Dick's parking lot like those Nissan boys.

does it have to break before they'll fix it?

Sounds like all you have to do is show them it squeeks and also report the gear shifts are more difficult than they used to be. I feel like that design needs revision.

Is anyone going to show up at this meet? It seems like it might turn into a zoo. Ceejay on mazdasnw said this meet got broken up by cops 2 out of the other 3 times this has been put on.

oh is this a mnw meet?

oh is this a mnw meet?

No. NWNissan meet.

Mike, from the sounds of it. The problem starts when you start hearing the pedal squeak a little bit. (which happened to me) Then the sound will go away, but that's the next stage, the bracket then breaks and it becomes impossible to shift the car standing still. You have to have the car in motion to shift into gears. At that point you're basically screwed.

It's a known warranty by mazda, they just don't believe you (because it's so new) I'll have to go call MNAH and have them call University Mazda...I'm not paying 400 bucks for their shitty design on a clutch bracket.

When I get it on warranty, I'll let you know, then you can go in there also.

How low did your compression have to get in order for Mazda to give you a new engine core? Also, how can cops break up a car meet? Is it because skylines can't be registered?

They show up and tell you to go home for disturbing the peace. Usually it'll be something like Dick's asks them to leave first I'm sure. We got thrown out of Dick's once for using up too much of their parking lot.

They can, just not anymore. Or you better have a pocket full of $$$ and a good lawyer.

Yeah that was a really busy night. We had the whole northender group come down that night. I guess most of the Nissan guys were being disrespectful to property, making/leaving a mess and prob more and asked to leave. Shrugged off and they were forced to call the cops.


Wish I could roll that GT-R again :mdrmed:

My compression ended up being at a lowly 5.4...which sucks but the engine is supposed to be coming in on Monday. The clutch is apparently not a warranty item. I called Mazda headquarters; they said no. :'( but Mazdatrix offers it for 100 bucks...A lot less than Mazda. :-D

Hrrrm I assume you mean 5.4atm? It sounds like I should really get my engine compression tested before I settle in fully with this car. Does anyone have a compression tester that I can borrow? :D

no it's kgf/cm2. i have nemesis' tester until he steals it back. ;)

Dude, that tester is amazing! Thanks again for letting me use it!

Midnight meet for some dicks :lol2:

yep! you can make it by midnight no prob.

Just got home and too tired. Next week I'm oncall and could be flying out of town end of next week.

Poo on PDX. :'(

no it's kgf/cm2. i have nemesis' tester until he steals it back. ;)

Oh I havent heard someone using kgf/cm^2 since ever o.o. But either way, did you end up getting the stock clutch pedal assembly from Mazdatrix? I can hear mine starting to squeak just a little, so I'm getting concerned.

Also, apparently light silver Rx8s are cursed?! I had never heard of this~!

Yeah, that's where I went. Payed a lot less than anywhere else. So I'm happy.
