New to the area of the RX8. Just bought a 2005 Black Cherry "Chikita" model for my wife. would love to come to one of these events. I am real new to this rotary thing. Myself I drive a SRT-4 which is a turbo and i have modded it to a little over 300whp and I am wanting some help to get the RX8 up to speed with me. I love the car other than the price. Any help would be appriciated and cant wait to meet some of u guys and gals.

 

Welcome to the club Uncivilracer!

I'm sure you mean "Shinka" when referring to your wife's new car. I'm excited to have another female owner in the club and look forward to meeting her. We have meets fairly regularly so come on out and join us when you can.

The price is a small fee compared to how much fun your wife, and yourself, will have with this car. I don't doubt you two will be just like the couple in the commercial where they get up earlier and earlier every morning to beat the other person to drive the new car.

I'll leave the "modding to 300whp" to the guys on here. They can probably explain it better than me.

Where in the metroplex do you live? Check out the BBQ thread when you get a chance. Free food, great company and cool prizes -- how can you pass it up? :D

 

Uncivilracer.... you've gotta come to the BBQ in September!!! There will be LOTS of 8's there. :D

 

Welcome, and like they said: resigster for the BBQ in September (http://www.myrotarycar.com/bbq) & keep an eye on this "Gulf" forum for the Thursday meets @ BJ's in Addison. One thing though, you are bound to show up on the SRT -at least once- to give me a ride!

 

Cool. This is great. Took forever for the people to become friendly on the SRT and Cavalier boards we are apart of. We love going to meets and meeting new people so this will be a cool thing for us. She drove around in the car all day yesterday perfecting her 6 speed driving skills. She is estatic with the car.

We will be at the bar-b-que for sure and the thursday meets without problems. As for bringing the SRT, that is no problem at all. I will be taking it alongwith her in the 8 to the events. Im in love with my car as much as she is with hers now.

Thanks for the warm welcome and cant wait to meet some of you.

 

Cool, can't wait...

I will NOT be at the next BJs meet.

I actually will be, but will not say so because everytime i do, i end up cancelling.

 

If the next meet is in 2 wks, I won't be there. I'll be enjoying REAL Chicago pizza. :D

 

dazygirl.....do u own the Red RX8 that was at Martins shop in Fort Worth? With the Greddy Exhaust and side skirts?

I was the one working on the Silver SRT-4 putting on the FMIC and all the other things that one day. Small world if it is u.

 

Why yes, that was me! I remember you working up there that day. Man, it is a small world!

 

definately was her :D

 

Yea that is sweet. What had been put on ur car. I liked the sound alot better than stock. I hate the stock sound horribly bad. It is way to quiet. I have a 3" dump exhaust with no cat on my SRT and it is loud. I like to hear it running myself. But my exhaust also added 27whp and I know there is nothing like that for the RX8 but I want the sound a little deeper.

 

When it was all said and done, I had a Greddy exhaust and a B&B midpipe. I'm loving the sound too. :D

 

i'm actually not looking the forward to the sound of my exhaust/high flow cat. I am loving the sound of the intake and turbo spool. I will still put it on though. DAMN need for more power, damn it all to hell.

-HS

 

see i dont know if i wanna go turbo on it since I already have a turbo car in the SRT4 and I just dont see me being able to get this car up to the SRTs horsepower. I just want decent power with sound to go with it.

 

I got the high flow cat and Greddy and it sounds great.

 

So is there a meet this thursday, 8/4/05????

 

I think its every other tuesday, so i guess not this week, but next (8/11/2005)

Yeah, i know it sounds smooth... but i am really getting used to the sound of a really quiet exhaust and really loud intake. Eitherway it doesn't matter... the exhaust and hi-flow cat will be going on this weekend.
Jenkins, do you have RPs High-Flow Cat? Any CEL Problems?

 

It's Ajax's job to start the BJ's thread...There is no rhyme or reason, we have had them monthly weekly bi-weekly....just depends on him.

 

I have the SR motorsport, no CELs , whooohooo!

 

Oh yes. I remember when Garland started a BJ's thread instead of Ajax... talk about stepping on toes!!

 

I hadn't planned on posting one this week.
We've been on a bi-weekly schedule for the last 2 months and the turnouts have been great.

 

so when is it? lol the new guy is impatient and wants to see some fixed up 8s. will be the only way i can talk my wife into letting me mod it.

 

next Thursday. We had one last Thursday.

 

Bummer I will have my car this thursday.....oh well...

 

Right.
Don't mean to spoil the fun.
I mean, if you guys WANT to have one, go right ahead :b You don't need me (tho i'd be there if you said you wanted to have one, lol).
