lol even if I clean the car beforehand I have a feeling my tail pipes will be all black by the time I drive over there.

I'll be sure to spend some time to make the car presentable (meanwhile, making myself presentable will be optional

)

The test should also be performed on an engine that is still relatively hot ... so I'm not so sure that removing your plugs too far in advance if the queue is long is a good idea.

That being said ... for example ... if we had 5 cars show up and 5 sets of stands ..
Yes once the tires and plugs are out it only takes a few minutes to do the compression test. You could just knock the cars out one by one in no time.

How the Test is Performed
1) Start the engine and allow it to warm up.
(2) Stop the engine.
(3) Disable the fuel and ignition systems. You should consult your vehicles Factory Service Manual for the correct procedure to do this.
(4) Remove both front and rear trailing spark plugs.

***WARNING*** The sensor module should be hand tightened only into the spark plug hole. Overtightening will damage the rubber o-ring and could damage the sensor module.

(5) Thread the sensor module into either the front or rear spark plug hole.
(6) Connect the TR-01 to the sensor module.
(7) Switch the TR-01 power switch to ON.
(8) Fully open the throttle and turn the engine over for at least 5 seconds.
(9) The TR-01 will display results in realtime and the final reading will be displayed on the screen until the power is switched off.

The following is my estimated Compression Test Schedule
Please show up early.
Especially because I feel the time is way over exaggerated.

Compression Test:
1. maRs - 9:00 am
2. Blackstealth - 9:20 am
3. Rotary-RX8 - 9:40 am
4. Kafka - 10:00 am
5. c_ls - 10:20 am
6. JordysRX8 - 10:40 am
7. SSilver07- 11:00 am
8. Maffu313 - 11:20 am
9. Telek - 11:40 am
10. JRogersRX8 - 12:00 pm
11. FERA - 12-20 pm
12. RX8_Spidey 12:40 pm
13. Rev-illusions 1:00 pm

You have more appointments than Mazda of Markham, we will be opening our own dealership LoL

Guys AMAZING!!! About 40 RX8's All thats left is a beautiful day...

Anyone have an dSLR and a tall tripod and can take very good photos?

This could be one of the largest family photos ever taken in the GTA... the Facebook GTARX8club could use a few photos.

We have to do an obligatory family photo. There's lots of space in the parking lot to move around.

If 40 cars do show up, we can actually build the word RX8 from the vehicles.

Long-term forecast is showing sun+clouds, no rain, and a brisk 16C. Not bad weather for a meet/cruise, if I do say so myself.

This meet seems to be getting serious...even if half of the 8s show up, I think it'll be the biggest meet to date...

Thanks for for organizing efforts of Mazda_RX804 anc WCS for volunteering to do compression test!!!
