Hey guys, any of you know of a good muffler/exhaust shop in the area? I'm bringing my midpipe down with me and want to have resonator welded in while I'm home. Any help would be great.

leaving for killeen tom. night! be watch for my silver rx8 w/ IOWA plates hit me up if you see me!

anyplace near to have nitrous bottle filled? I only have 6lbs left in my bottle

^How long of a drive is it for you? I got a 21 hr drive to get there...haha.

Its only 12 for me, but i did drive to daytona beach fl. two months ago and that was 21 hour drive and 2 months b4 that i took a road trip to california which was a 26 hour drive straight through!

You guys both have a safe trip. See ya' when you get here.



edit: Hey, we're a sticky now! Cool! Thanks to the person / mod responsible for this.

thanks ill be leaving 10 p.m tonight!

Well Im in killeen but not w/ my rx8... was driving down i 35 south w and my car started dieing and bogging and died on me on the side of the road. so i had to get it towed to classic mazda in some town that starts w/ a d. and im pretty sure my apex seal went b/c the other day i was sprayin nitrous andhad a backfire, i checked everything and it ran fine and what not. must have weakend the seal and it finally gave out on the way here. so now im screwed b/c i have my nitrous and everything on there so the dealer most likely isnt going to warrenty anything. so i have a 2009 mercury marquise!! hopefully its not a seal and its something else but i almost bet its the apex seal! i still try to make it to the meet if im here that long since so far its costed me 350 dollars just for a rental and im going to have to pay outa pocket to get the car fixed!

^^^^
Damn, that sucks. I hope everything works out for you.

I know this isn't the place but, W.N you do realize there is more than 1 apex seal in your motor, right? There are six...also, you said the engine slowly died...you may have just a simple coil issue or maybe a fuel issue. If you lost an apex seal believe me you would know. The motor would have sounded like lawnmower on its last leg.

Keep us posted though.

well i do know theres more then one seal i was just meaning i think i blew a seal. maybe i didnt though b/c the strange thing is the idle was fine and when i say slowly i mean like if i tried to accelerate the car would bog down so in other words i pretty much just coasted to a stop then it died, and would not start back up. then about 30 min later when the tow guy got there it started up and ran fine again but i did notice a little fluid on the ground. all i know when i started in iowa i sprayed the nitrous had a back fire b/c of too much pressure in the bottle car seemed to be ok the shit out in fort worth. now im pimpin in a 09 mercury marquise! lol dealer said they are gonna get to it monday so hopefully its not a seal and it can get fixed what ever it is!!

I get ya now...still doesn't sound like a blown engine to me. Hope you hear news on it next week.

well im gonna try to make it to the meet to meet some fellow member rx8 or rental so we'll see you guys there.

I'll be leaving out of here late Friday night, should be there Sat evening around 7 or 8. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

yeah, hopefully I will have my typhoon intake that weekend if joe-jitzu shows up and I have that money lol. I'll put that bitch that night I go home.

We can install it right there, takes about 20 mins. I always carry tools with me.

LOL k, all i need now is to see if i got the money he wants for it.

I hope everyone who signed up for this weekends meet is still comming!

I'll be there.

would have attended if it was friday or saturday but as it goes ,y'all do it up....Later :Peace:
