I just moved to san antonio a few weeks ago. going to UTSA and dont really know too much around here. I'm going to try to get the RP super-cat and wondering if anyone knows a good place to have that installed? or anyone have experience that could help? austin isnt too far of a drive so that should work too... been looking at alamo rotary but no idea besides that... thanks

 

Hey UTSA student here. What colors your 8? Could help with the supercat....installed my own midpipe =) .....Freshman?.....Im a Junior myself ((though second year of actual college))....still taking a freshman course ...for the third time

 

visit www.alamomotoring.com attend a couple meets and just ask for someones help. that worked for me.

if i lived in SA id tell you to bring me some JD and id help you out.


thats a super easy install BTW. just have to jack the car up on stands and probably just need a socket (17 or 14) and the same in a wrench and maybe some pliers.

 

yeah, I'm a freshman. I've seen a few 8s around the parking lots, mostly auto. I drive a black MT with spoiler. I might take you up on that offer. you living on campus?

 

ya the 8's are all silver base auto's with not even the 18 inch wheels....lol....lots of fat chicks drive em ....black 8 huh? You wouldn't happen to have an aftermarket exhaust? Saw a black 8 with I believe the greddy exhaust on Tuesday in the very most back parking alotted to the campus.... I drive a WB 8 MT ....look for the gunmetal rims or just listen to the overly loud and droning midpipe

 

also you from San antonio? ....Also I don't live on campus unfortunately im up by the 281/1604 junction on Blanco

 

I actually saw you, you drove past me... when you said you had the midpipe I figured that was you cause most have stock exhaust. I have the racing beat exhaust though. But that was probably mine you saw because I didnt see any other 8s in that lot besides yours. Not from San Antonio. I lived about an hour north of houston before I moved here for school.

 

Ordered it yesterday, should have shipped out today or on monday. should have it by the end of the week at least. going back to houston for the weekend I think so not sure when I'll be trying to get it installed.

 

Cool....if you see me on campus just give a wave ((if you remember what I look like))....or flag me down if im in the 8 ....maybe we can even meet up sometime in the morning...really want to hear the racing beat exhaust with a stock cat....apparantly it sounds almost stock till you rev it.... oh yeah excuse the cracked windshield ...cracked last week when some ahole through a battery into it...and my visor just broke too .....no luck these past two weeks with the 8....hopefully when I go in for the recall next weekend I don't get told I need a new engine

 

yeah, that wouldnt be good, but at the same time you dont wanna be driving around with a bad engine. I'm gonna try to bring mine in before I get the supercat or install it since they're supposed to look at the cat during the recall. Hopefully if they keep it I'll at least get to mess around with a CX-7 for a day or 2. I'll let you know when I get the cat in though. What's your schedule like?

 

Schedule...well I get to campus around 8 on MWF and stay until about 1 ....free from 10-11 on mwf between 8 and 1.....umm Tuesday and Thursday i'm on campus from 11 to 2 ......as far as after that im usually free...my job requires my own hours and I work only maybe 2 hours a week and get paid as if I worked 40 hour weeks =P.....so ya pretty much free all day and those are my campus hours

 

buzzard where you move to again? You traded in the 8 too right?

 

havent moved, still north of sa and still DD my 8

 

Alright, well I finish up about the same times as you. I'll figure something out where we can meet and/or install the supercat once I get recall taken care of and get the supercat in

 

You still live in the woodlands and just commute here or you stay on campus?

 

Nah, woodlands is by houston... so 3.5-4 hour drive... would be terrible to put that kinda miles on the car and I dont feel like waking up that early to get to class Guess I need to update my location. I'm actually at montecito appartments. Just @ W. Hasuman and 1604

 

Ouch Montecitio....had a friend bit by a rat there ....no joke....I hear its horrible...and from the few times I was there I have to agree....hope you have better luck there.

 

you sure it's the same thing we're thinking of? It seems pretty nice to me... and I havnt seen any big problems so far. Well, I've got an amazing dodge neon for a few days waiting for recall stuff to be done... really need a turbo on this neon or something... feels a bit slow the ups tracking says my supercat is out for delivery right now but seems a bit late... should be tomorrow I guess. Cant wait, even though I dont have my 8 maybe I should test it on the neon...

 

oops.... had it shipped to my home address in houston lol... was going home this weekend anyways

 

dodge neon...lol thats the same car they always give me....you go to northpark or ingram? ......

 

I went to world car mazda, that's what seemed closest and easiest to get to.

 

world car mazda? Never heard of them. Is that close to the UTSA campus?

 

it's on fredricksburg road, took about 20 minutes to get to? took 1604 to I-10 east for and stayed on I-10 for a few minutes and was there. It's a mazda/kia mix dealership I think. I just did the dealership locater thing on the mazda usa site.

 

Well, I almost got my car back today... they called at 3:15 or so and told me they were done with the work, but were gonna wash it and fill up the tank, and told me that would take 2 hours so no call so far, and wont be able to make it out there before they close. finally sorted out the UPS stuff I think, I gotta hope when they're loading the trucks tomorrow that they fix the address.

 

so they change anything on the car? New Cat? plugs? anything? Sounds like you kept your engine though =). Thats good
