yeah... I got another one yesterday. Came on for about 20 seconds after I was heavy on the pedal on the highway... went out and hasn't come back since. I think it has to do with another coil going. On Sunday she started having problems turning over... that's continued. Going to buy the last 3 coils and try to install them this weekend. Hopefully that'll take care of it.

I'm up for the meet. Friday would be better, but I may be able to do Thursday.

Can we add the topic:
7) Rotary Mike - Luckiest RX8 Owner on Earth

I do not get these random CEL, stalls, flodding, etc.

I bought a stock intake, and also bought a new K&N filter.

I think I will need some help, an extra hand for removing the front bumper and re-installing it, because of the fog light and headlight washer assemblies...

Saturday morning, any local help?

I may try and source some used ones. If I can't find any by Friday morning then I'll just order them from Scarb Mazda. I was looking at finishline as well but by the time you do the conversion, shipping, and customs the price is basically the same. Plus in getting them here you can just go right back and swap em if anything's wrong. Plus I need them asap 'cause the force is telling me that it's gonna go soon.

Depending on the time I may be able to give you a hand. You don't have to disconnect the washer lines btw. Just swing the front bumper to the side with the line attached and you can still do everything you need to do. The only thing that's a pain is reconnecting the last fog light connection.

Well I got a price for coils through my guy, sent chris the quote. Maybe Al can do better if we all do them.

So far I see, Rev, Thumper, Thief, and myself.

Jay,

The car is going to be lowered in April... as we all know the MS CAI doesn't really add appreciable HP gains to the engine. It adds noise mostly. I can give up some of that noise for 100% rock solid reliability in all weather conditions.

Pros raises a good point, why do the change now, keep the MS CAI in and just tuff it out for the next 2-3 weeks then enjoy it for the summer. Then you can do the swith in the fall.

Thursday sounds good for me. Count me in! I just hope I can remember on the day of the meet. Neo would always remind me before, but now he is other wise occupied more often then not.

If can't find a good price, thinking about shipping to where pros and thunder are getting their wheels, save tons of costs. True dat!

Yup...stupid fogs!!

jays guy or al must be giving you guys a heluva price. my cost (as an employee at the local mazda dealer) on the coils was still pretty high. i just got my coils today that i had ordered from finishline near the end of last week. I did save a bit (not a lot but it was still a little savings). so you guys that are playing closer to list price than i would likely still be saving enough money to order from finishline unless you need them ASAP. also if a few of you go in together you save on the shipping and possibly any other fees. Also, dont have them shipped via UPS if thats the case. i got juiced pretty good. ive been told by a few people now that you can avoid alot of other fees by having stuff shipped USPS for any cross border transactions.

Edit: i just recalculated everything and i actually saved quite a bit even though i got juiced on the shipping/brokerage fees. just thought i would point that out

Next week is too far away to tell for sure but I'd like to think I'll be able to show up for this whenever it is.

Well
I'm going to stick with Thursday as I'm hoping to have my car back together (assuming I get my BHR Coils back) by then and providing the weather co-operates I'll be itching to go for a drive.


If anyone is interested I have a used set of coils with about 30k on them, you can have'em for free (free as in beer?). I changed them when I installed my nitrous kit, so I don't believe there is anything wrong with'em.

And it's local! Woohoo! lol

Sorry if I haven't been posting lately. I'm in the middle of moving into a new place and getting things ready is taking up alot of my time.

Hopefully when the new season starts we'll be able to attend more meetings. :-)
