Kel Rx8
03-18-2005, 08:40 PM
im down for next saturday
i have the greddy sp2 so it will be nice to hear another 8 with an exhaust
Im gonna check on a local rx8 friend to see if he wants go,he has the borla so we can get a exhaust sound off :)

RX8FOREAL when we gonna get a chance to see your 8 ?

everyone is welcome to stop by tommorow (07058)
2 rx8 are coming by and im try to call a friend in area with his 8.
we are installing sway bars for alex rx8 and check our cars to see if its time for new spark plugs.
mikecats if u can make it give me a call if u need directions.

MikeKats
03-18-2005, 08:52 PM
im going to try and make it

chrism
03-19-2005, 02:15 AM
ok this sounds fun now...we can get 4-5 8's which would make for some nice pics

Redlined RX8
03-19-2005, 09:37 AM
Chris - I prolly won't have my 8 in time, but let me know the next time you guys meet up, I'll definitely show.

chrism
03-19-2005, 10:49 AM
you can still come by if you like...just got the exhaust and need to polish it up before i put it on....

Redlined RX8
03-19-2005, 11:06 AM
Nice, Its gonna sound badass... well the reason I might not make it is because i'm antisipating on spending a good amount of time at the dealer finalizing paperwork and crap. I already took care of most of it a couple weeks ago, so we'll see how long i'm there. If I dont make it, maybe we can all get together for my Greddy SP2 install which should be soon.

chrism
03-19-2005, 02:26 PM
that works for me too....either way i think we should all meet up in the near future.....im also hearing rain tomorrow and the tri-state meet is tomorrow...so if its pushed back a week i may be able to go to it....and if i do go i wanna have my exhaust installed....so if i put it on myself then we could have a meet when you install yours

Redlined RX8
03-19-2005, 05:10 PM
Ok cool. I'll let everyone know when I order it.

JSE RX-8
03-20-2005, 12:01 PM
i'm on vacation right now but i wish i could make it. is it possible for anyone to take some pics of the install and maybe get a couple sounds clips??

chrism
03-20-2005, 12:18 PM
if i get a chance to do it today ill post some pics

MikeKats
03-21-2005, 10:17 PM
i saw a girl in a black rx-8 today in paramus. im just wondering of shes on here.

chrism
03-22-2005, 05:20 AM
damn i barely ever spot any 8's around

MikeKats
03-22-2005, 09:15 PM
i see 8's all the time

flyboi1121
03-23-2005, 12:00 AM
my 8 is in the shop right now... still repairing from the accident when i got rear ended in traffic... but while repairing, i got them to install ms bodykit with b&b exhaust and rp midpipe... should be done middle of next week? :mad: haven't had my 8 in over a week... it's killing me.. wish i can make it but like he said, let me know if u guys have another meet :)

chrism
03-23-2005, 04:59 AM
4/3 seems to be a good day to meet...if not then tobay on 4/10

Redlined RX8
03-24-2005, 05:29 PM
I'm heading down to AC April 22nd. Depending on how the tables treat me, I'll order the SP2 and a new pair of shoes for the 8. Otherwise, I'll just order the exhaust. I'll keep everyone posted so we can setup a mini meet for the install.

chrism
03-24-2005, 06:47 PM
ill be seeing lots of 8's tomorrow....have to go to the dealer to get these squeeky brakes fixed

Redlined RX8
03-29-2005, 06:58 PM
well I finally got my car but it has to go right back to the dealer because the god damn check engine light is on. I was driving home from the dealer last night in the poring rain, when I was about 15 minutes from my house and the check engine light started blinking. By the time I pulled in to my driveway it was just a solid light that won't go away. I called the salesman to bitch because I was pissed and he said to bring it back as soon as possible.

thats sucks
you sure it wasnt the tire pressure ?
not trying to be a dick its just my dumb ass after installing my wheels did the same
thing.
i flipped out thinking i had a check engine light but was a low pressure sensor.
i dont know whats wrong with me but its one of those stupid things :) :D

chrism
03-30-2005, 06:41 PM
i did the same thing.....

Redlined RX8
03-30-2005, 07:02 PM
Well, I looked in the manual and the symbol that's lit is definitely the check engine. Someone told me that they might not have screwed the gas tank on all the way. He said it happened to him on a new Chevy Malibu and it wouldn't go away until he refilled the tank. I'm going to give it a try. I'm taking it easy anyway because it's still brand new so hopefully I'm not worsening the problem if it is anything major.

Redlined RX8
03-30-2005, 07:04 PM
tank = cap... that would really suck if the tank was loose...

chrism
03-30-2005, 07:09 PM
its all good....thats why i make sure when filling up (all be it quite often) that i hear the guy click it a few times....

MikeKats
03-31-2005, 05:13 PM
yea, same here. i always make sure the guy clicks it a few times when he closes the cap.

Redlined RX8
04-01-2005, 04:27 PM
Finally got the car back... It turns out the ECU needed to be reflashed with an update. The phantom error message the tech received was "misfire on cylinder 1" thats funny because there are no cylinders. The dealer gave me a brand new ipod for my troubles so I guess it worked out alright.

chrism
04-01-2005, 07:27 PM
very nice!.....so when are you gonna bring her out to play?

Redlined RX8
04-04-2005, 02:30 PM
Well since its finally sunny for the first time in about a week, i'll have her out all day today and tonight.

04-04-2005, 03:02 PM
bring her out on sunday too!

chrism

works for me....we could have a mini meet and roll there together...fill their small parking lot up with 8's....im sure we could get at least 4 or 5 locals to go there on a saturday or something

flyboi1121
04-11-2005, 07:00 PM
yea.. their shop is on route 46 east side in lodi area... their main work is on rotaries... but in my opinion... they overcharge =T i go there all the time to look at the black 2nd gen rx-7 and some parts :) i asked them how much it would be to install a flywheel... they said $571... whereas my friend in another garage said he can do it for me for $300 even :confused: (i didn't buy a flywheel yet but i just asked for prices lol)

smrx8
04-11-2005, 09:10 PM
yeah i heard they are a little expensive but if they do good work i dont mind.i had my car at acosta last summer and the work they did was out of this world they did the worst job anyone can do thats why iam so picky now.those people at acosta cant even weld right !!!!
i wish you cold see the work they did to my 8 you would cry !!!
