I am as frigging intrigued as you. I spent over 3 hours last night posting very detailed results from testing.

I didn't delete it.

I'm pretty annoyed.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Could be a duplicate post. Emack had three of them going...

Do a search, but there's probably 1 still alive in the Canzoomer or Aftermarket Performance forums.

Apparently emack deleted it.

I'll have to repost. It will take an hour just to re-type. It is not a one-liner. It contained a very comprehensive explanation of everything.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Thanks.

Don't get me wrong, I realise the effort and the ****-off factor, and I really appreciate you doing it all again!

Ok, how about the "in a nutshell" version?

Good? Bad? Ugly?

What's Hymee's take? (in 50 words or less)

Hey, all I wanted was 1 post.

I certainly didn't mean to have an admin destroy them all.

But you could've saved the headache if you had posted 1 post... per the rules.

Sorry for any grief.

No, sorry mate. If I come to Sidney, for the grief I've indirectly (and unintentionally) caused, I'll buy YOU lunch.

This has cast an enormous shadow on this "stage 1" mod. What's going on?

No shadow at all, Michael and I just believe (its an old school ethics thing) that we should communicate our findings with Canzoomer first.

We (as in emack , Hymee , Rick and I) want Maurice (canzoomer ) the manufacturer of Stage 1 kit to view the results of our testing prior to us posting any info on the forum.

Please be patient........

We are operating as fast as we can but we owe it to Maurice to give him our joint reports on the inconclusive findings to date.

As you can appreciate neither Rome nor the RX8 was built in a day.

Michael

Wow... I just thought I inadvertantly caused the admins to axe all of emack's posts on "Stage 1 installed."

But it appears the story is getting curious-er.

OK,

I need to try and settle things down a bit and offer some explanations. I might then close this thread.

Emac got his unit Monday, and posted some intial findings, but these where not measured.

L&L got his unit Tuesday, and I assisted him install it on Wednesday.

Here is the picture:



I spent most of Wednesday with L&L and did a number of timed 40-100km/h runs, measured with a MR Dyno. Measured on a flat road, in both directions. Good quality hotmix surface, pretty smooth. Michael and I discussed that we should not release the findings until Canzoomer had the privelede to review them. We also wanted to wait until Ric end Emack did some more measured tests.

Last night, emack posted the measurements obtained with a G-Tech for 0-100km/h tests. I was intrigued that findings were now public, and I felt it would be best for all concerned to publish our findings to give some overall credibility to what had been measured in Sydney, and Brisbane. After analysis of our results I feel they showed a significant, repeatable trend.

L&L and Emac have made a decision to do the right thing by Canzoomer, and supply him with the results for his first right of reply. They are at least are obliged to do that.

Hence the thread was deleted by the originator.

At L&L's request, I will re-compile my results, and supply them to L&L so that can be passed on to CZ.

I think if we all slowed down a bit and put a temper on things, this would not have gotten to this point. I feel what I reported was equally beneficial to both Canzoomer, and the Australian RX-8 owners community. Unfortunately the removal of my report has had a negative effect.

My appologies to emack and L&L for releasing findings they didn't want released. I will re-state that emack did release his first.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Having read the original post I have to ask a question...
Could it not be that the Australia Rx8 does not have the crippled fuel map that we got here in the US?

In that case, CZ stage 1 only brings US cars up to the same or similar levels as the Aussie version. Since Ric's controller also adjusts timing, there is extra gains to be had (similar to what CZ expects to get with stage 2).

Of course I could be totally wrong.

Hymee, I just think its important that you know, that in my ignorance of how the board works, I didn't know that by deleting my posts I would also delete the entire thread.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I had no intention of deleting your info/post and ask that you accept my apology.
