Regarding the warrantee, my dealer (everyone from the DP, sales manager and service manager) knows all about the kits, and even wants to fit them himself.

I kind of think of it as a "Dealer Approved Accessory". I was coming up with an acronym. DAAc. Anyone want some more of Hymee's Daacs? Hehehe. Pretty pathetic attempt, but I feel lonely sitting so far in the northern corner of the lounge.

Cheers,
Hymee.

If I'm going to have to hang out with you guys here in the Hymee Bar and Grill, then I'm going to need another of those Daac'aree's and make it a double [ pun intended kids ].

Hymee - I'm sure it will be fine - put me down still for the standard kit.

DGW - if you're sleeping on the lounge, you're going to have to boot Kev off - he's already snoring!

If we have any female visitors to the lounge, they might like to use a magic cone when visiting our toilet.

WTF is a Magic Cone:

first go to this:

then watch this:

For some reason the magic cone reminds me of something that happened a couple of days ago when I was reading a book with my small son.

It was a nice, politically correct Fisher Price board book about different occupations – Farmer, Fireman etc.

When we got to the hospitals page the various doctors were both male and female, black, white, coffee coloured etc. to convey the right message to kids.

Down in one corner was a doctor, bearing a passing resemblance to Michael Jackson, with a syringe in his hand.

The speech bubble over “Dr Michael” said (and I swear this is true) – “You’ll just feel a little *****”.

My son wondered why I suddenly came down with an attack of the idiotic snorts…

I'm with you .. its unnatural but I guess it was bound to happen. First we let them have the vote, then jobs, then drivers licences , then get pregnant without us .... now they can 'stand up' for themselves ... I fear our final bastion of blokedom is under threat - surely they'll want the keys to the shed next!!

Stand strong brothers !!!!!

I've just come into the lounge to relax for a short while. I have been working on batch 2 of "the grills". Got the spot-welder out for a slight improvement to the design.

I'm not game to go to that sight sco

Maybe when everyone else is in asleep

Cheers,
Hymee

That is enough lounging around - got to go and get the Christmas lights out for the house.

speaking of grills .. I just had a mate visit with his Mazda MPV. Couldn't help but notice that it has a plastic version of the Hymee Grill - seems more like a K-Tel Grill-o-matic - flimsy as flimsy can be .. cant wait till I get my PROTECTION so Professor Hymee - GET BACK TO WORK !!!! (with all respect due to a genius such as Hymee!!)

And more... I walked past a Mazda 6 the other day. They have a similar setup up the front with two openings for the air to get in just like the '8. Only the '6 has a grill to protect each of them.

I know one of the regulars here has an '8 and a '6 in the garage, so if I'm sprouting sh*t, please correct me.

BTW Dez, have you heard about specific restrictions in the RX-8 exhaust that are caused by the cat? Obviously the cat does restrict flow through the exhaust, but it's not an RX-8 specific phenomenum as far as I can tell. Every car with a cat has the same restriction. Your only option if your serious is to install a high flow cat, or remove it completely. Option B is illegal as far as I know.

I am one of "the regulars with an '8 and a '6 in the garage". The '6 gets both lots of protection.

I don't have any empirical evidence to go by, but the "cat" (I am used to saying 'cats' - from my V8 days) may not be a restriction until we start seeing some forced induction '8s. If you put a larger bore exhaust on, you can "open the cat up" but cutting a short length off the ends (they are tapered) to get the larger diameter, and welding the new pipes on. That is a lot cheaper than getting new cats. (There I go again!).

Yes - we must run cats here. There was a guy on the LS1 forum from NZ - they are allowed to remove the cats, but he didn't put headers/extractors on because it would void the warantee/insurance. What a joke. When I get around to making the "Hymee is Exhausted" project it will be a(nother) "Dealer Approved ACcessory".

And did I miss Dez introducing cat restrictions to the discussion?

Cheers,
Hymee.

I was talking to a guy at redline rotary a while back. He suggested a "Y" off the maniflold, into two hi flow cats (staggered), another "Y" into a big pipe, then something like another "Y" into two mufflers ala racing beat's jobbie or twins all the way from the first "Y" + dual cats.

I'll have a look at the 6 in the morning - I think you're right though!

L&L,

If the plans I've set in motion have played out in full, you must either be typing with your nose or typing in an aroused state with your *****.

Hint, don't type with your nose after typing with your ***** ... particularly if you've done anything else with your *****!!!

One more for the coffee table...

Background : I'm probably building a pyramid all night tonight ( school projects were something kids did years ago ). Anyway, reading "A History of Measures" - "Dimensions of the Great Pyramid", but there's lots of great reading here all over!
