I have made a 1000$ tune up but now i want to clean it. The previous owner never cleaned the engine and underneath its all rusty, salty and oily. Basically he just rustproof every year and never cleaned it.

How do I go about cleaning underneath the car and removing rust? I bought simple green mixed it 50:50 it doesnt seem to do much. Is it safe to spray the alternator cause it looks dirty i want to clean it. The car is also missing the mud guards from inside the front wheels that you normally take out when changing spark plugs. So there is a big hole and all the rain water and snow and shit goes in there and settles on the engine and made it rust.

Any advice would be great,

Just wanted to let you know that the SCCA is holding their last road racing event of the year for the Houston Region. The Turkey Trot Double Regional will be held at MSR Houston (Angleton, TX) this weekend and if the rain moves out the weather should be beautiful. There is no cost to spectate and you might get to see some great racing action.

Come on out and join us at the track this weekend!

See you there. ]]> Gulf RX-8 Forum DrKillJoY http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=186596 http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=186595&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:01:46 GMT Hey everyone! I wanted to make an opportunity for those RX-8 owners in SoCal to get some pictures of their cars and maybe make a few more friends and spend some time with some really friendly owners.

For those of you who don't know, I'm a college student who attends the University of Montana but I'm from Orange County and I love photography. I'm still a bit new but I think I'm improving. I love taking HDR pictures and the stunning ways it makes anything look. I'll be visiting SoCal for a week over Thanksgiving starting tomorrow and I was hoping to maybe hold a little photoshoot with all of the local 8 owners to get a chance to hang out and catch up with everyone. I would really appreciate any owners willing to come out. Any pics I take, I'll make available to anyone in full res so if you would like to have it for a print or even just a computer desktop image, just let me know and I'll send them to you via email.

I'd like to hold this little photoshoot THIS SUNDAY AFTERNOON! Sorry for such short notice but I've only just finalized my travel plans as well as obligations over this week. Hopefully I'd like to hold it in a place that's convenient for everyone who wants to come. So if you'd like to attend, please let me know where you're coming from so I can try and scout a location in the area on Saturday afternoon. I'd ideally like to hold this in Orange County, maybe in the Irvine / Tustin area as there is usually plenty of places to take photos with a big group but any suggestions are appreciated.

If you have any questions, please let me know! You can pm me on this forum and I'll try and get back to everyone as quickly as possible. If you can attend this event, please let me know!

If you know any other owners who would like to have their cars photographed, let them know! The more the merrier!

Also, if you can't attend this event, I'll try to have another while I'm down in socal for Christmas break.

Thank you everyone and hopefully I'll get to see you guys this Sunday afternoon.

For those of you who don't know what HDR is and how it looks, feel free to browse my picture threads here on the forums, but here are a few of my car to get you guys an idea.

The cat in the 2004 I just bought only has 12,000 miles on it. I am thinking that since i am starting to premix, that I may hasten its demise. I plan to run 1 oz of Amsoil Saber Professional per gallon. So I was thinking i would replace the cat with a midpipe - currently thinking of the one from Racing Beat.

So, does this make sense?

Subsequent question is should I be looking for a 2.5" midpipe? I don't want to cause a problem in the exhaust flow given that the cat-back portion will be the stock exhaust.

Two other factors: I also want this to be as quiet as possible and I only do HPDEs twice per year. The rest of the time this is my daily driver, including winter.

There wasn't an accumulation of liquid on the bottom, it was just the walls that appeared wet.

Does anyone know if this is normal, abnormal, or critically abnormal? I have a 2006 AT, so I don't imagine it's from the engine oil flowing into the intake (thought that was a 04/05 problem).

If it's not a normal thing, how should I go about cleaning it? ]]> JinDesu http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=186592 http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=186591&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:07:39 GMT I'm looking to get my ATF and rear diff. fluids flushed and I need to know where you guy have gone in the past that did a great job.
