My pasty white skin is feeling a little burnt too hahaa

 

Not really sunburn. More windburn.

 

I have a slight rough idle where sometimes it sits at 1000rpm, then goes down to 800, then back to 1000rpm. I guess I shoulve had scott check my car

 

great meet guys!! Thanks for organizing Mazda_RX804!!

 

Lol I'm sun burnt!

Thanks Mike for organizing the event then reorganizing again so I could make it.

Plane is boarding now looking forward to seeing pics when I land in London.

 

Thanks guys for letting me drop by and get a look at all the beautiful GTA RX-8s! I'm thoroughly impressed by the efforts that so many of you have put into your vehicles. And what a great day to show them all off. Sorry I missed the cruise but I can report that traffic was light so I had a blast driving mine back to Ottawa!

 

Were you the white mazdaspeed rx8 ???

 

Haha sunscreen FTW!

Great job organizing Mazda_RX804 and great work WCS !!! Definitely looking forward to the next meet!

 

Awesome meeting all of you! Thanks for the test guys, your the best.

 

Nice meet gents! Thanks to Mike for organizing and John for plotting the route and leading the way!

Inspiring to see how others are taking great care of their rides.

Also wicked to see my other Shinka brothers out yesterday...although there were only 3 of us!!!

 

[Were you the white mazdaspeed rx8 ??? ]

That would be me. Couldn't stick around for the cruise as my daughter who goes to school in NY was only in town for the weekend and stuff to do but wanted to pop in for a bit

 

Good turn-out, it was great seeing all those 8's together.....and the couple 7's.
Wished I could've stuck around for the cruise but the lil one needed to get home for her nap.

 

Youre the coolest mom ive ever seen

 

chantl01.

You drove from Ottawa???
Which one was your car??

I'm sorry I couldn't get to meet everyone... It was rather hectic trying to catch up with everyone at once... needed more time.

Can't wait for the next meet!

 

I have a silver 2006 - it was parked over between the RX-7 and the Miata. But I couldn't stick around very long unfortunately. It was a bit of a hectic weekend for me. But I'm really glad I got a chance to at least stop by and gawk at all the beauties.

 

Must've been a bit later...
While I was there it was the Miata, then my friend's FD, my FD, and then RXeckless's machine, and then some RX-8's.

Too bad you couldn't stick around longer. But I know how hectic those weekends can get.

 

We can set something up Mike if you want, I gotta do Eddie's car as well.

I'm not home again until the May 24 long weekend.

What we should do is have an ESS and Maf clean meet with a side of checking the SSV

 

totally forgot to ask if anyone could have helped install my RB duct, actually i forgot i had it in the first place lol i keep it under my bed

 

Great meet guys, lots of new faces and it was good to see the lifers too. Thanks Mike. I had lots fun turning wrenches. Scott any time you want to set something up again, more than happy to help out.

 

Good to see it all worked out. I wish I could have been there so say hi to the friendlies I've met before and howdy to the new faces . The wife let me stay at Deals Gap for a couple extra days so this event was a no (compromise) and I'm still working out some kinks in my suspension. Next time maybe have it on a sigma or touge weekend and I'll be there no questions. If it's done on the right weekend I'll make sure to roll up with some other Windsor (maybe Michigan) RX8's. Our family of 8's is growing in south point.

This is a good idea.

 

My wife took your spot and her car is also silver.

 

Thanks against Scott and Doug~my engine is safe for now!!

 

Those of you who got low compression ... will you be replacing your engine right away (provided you still have warranty) or will you keep driving your car for a little while ??

I have low compression on my front rotor and i winter drive my car.. i was thinking i should get it replaced spring of next year so i dont make the neww engine go through a harsh winter

Is it okay to drive with low compression for a year ??

 

Low compression is simply compression values for your car that are belowed a pre-defined acceptable number deemed by Mazda. There are varying points of low compression. I remembered your numbers from the test are just below the cut off line, which is perfectly fine for daily driving.

Case in point using my engine as an example, my values were below yours at the time of the test, and going back, I had been complaining of those symptoms since spring 2011. I recall faithfully the backstraight at Mosport how RevRX8 (Jay's) car whom was in front of me was pulling away like no tomorrow. I was sure my exit speed and gear were correct at corner 5B, I had one extra passenger but it can't have made that much difference on the backstraight. At that time I had that nasty noise/rattle and powerloss; symptoms of low compression.

For you Ken, if you're not tracking your car, daily driving you'll be fine with low compression.

 

Hey Rotary-RX8 did you ever get the module for your door speaker amp.
We never got around to fixing it
