I haven' been on FB for a little while Tim but if someone will spread the word I will plan on setting something up.

Hopefully you can join. I feel bad I haven't really even seen your car much except for when you "met up" with Sam and I.

Ive really been wanting a GT style wing lately but won't do APR since so many people have it. Been looking at the LEG and RE Amemiya ones. Hard decision though. Probably wont get one for a while anyway. Too many other things to do.

I noticed you were off FB now. My car runs great now with the new engine. But I really havent had a chance to do anything new to the car recently. I still don't have power steering!

I imagine you are quite used to not having it by now. Its so effortless with it though.

I miss having NA sometimes mainly ease of mind. Hoping my rebuild time wont be here too soon.

Sad to see you move on Mike but at least its still a Mazda, hopefully I will see you at an AutoX or some other event down the road.

Wish I needed something you had but I dont think I do at the moment.

Mr_Pieper

If you are missing any stock stuff I'll trade you some things for something aftermarket.

I'll still be around as infrequently as I am. If anything right now, it looks like I might be delaying when I actually get rid of the car because I managed to get the exhaust issue fixed, and depending on what I can get for selling it. I'm really going to miss this car.

Thanks for the offer! I will be replacing the stock exhaust intake soon. I should have all the parts I need, but I will ping you if I seem to be missing anything.

Mr_Pieper

Cool. Just trying to help out. I have stored everything I've taken off and you have some things I don't.

So the BHR header seems like a pretty nice piece from what ive seen so far.

Mr_Pieper

Repeat customers got an information email with an attached dyno sheet. Made a bunch of power on a car with only upgraded ignition. It might be awesome for your situation. On sale at midnight.

I got said e-mail Tim, seems nice. Im sure the numbers are what they are said to be. I think it will have to be a while until I get one if I do. Definitely on the wish list though.

Cole33

They are definitely a pretty penny, but could turn into one of the "easiest" HP upgrades for our car.

$1800 does sound a bit better than $2000. lol. Im sure I can get 8-900 for my current header and BHR midpipe so im halfway there I suppose.


Happy Thanksgiving all.

So Sam where is the old 8 to now?

Cole33

He traded it for that BMW. I don't know his name, but I do know he is around STL so it is still in the area at least.

RX8inSTL

iTrader: (7)

Hope to see it around then, I need to keep track of it to buy it back one day.

Hows your 8 been treating you Cole? Wish you could have made the cruise. It was a good one.

Trey Mellon from St. Charles area. I hate to get rid of it, but it was probably a wise decision in the long run

Cole33

Mine has been doing pretty good. Since the engine swap she runs great. I wish I could keep her cleaner than I do, school is just rough now. And it's cold. The only problems I have had was one of my tires had a bad bead and kept losing air.

Have you been doing anything new on your's Adam? You always seem to have plans for it. I've been waiting to see some new wheels on it.

Thats good to hear, I am wondering what I will do once Its time for me to rebuild, in some ways I want an REW swap and sell the rest since Im sure Ill make decent money off it and the other part wants to just port the renny some and make 325hp or so. Leaning toward the rebuild though.

I know how you feel though. It sucks having to drive the car all the time and not have time for a wash in the winter.

Have you not seen my build thread though Cole? I bought some Enkei Kojins. Not going stanced really on this car though. Plan is to keep meaty tires on it and stay functional. Other than that though I really haven'y had time to mess with the car lately though. Buying a few parts here and there and just waiting for a time to work on it some more.

Hope you like the BMW, an M3 is on the list of cars Ill own someday. Hopefully the old 8 doesn't go to crap.

Cole33

I don't think I have seen your build thread. Honestly I haven't had much time to spend checking this anymore. I am hoping someday I can get back into my hobby. I have a few months off next summer so I am hoping to get back into it then.
