Tony:

Congrats on getting the car back. Please let us know how it is.

I went to see Tool in Baton Rouge last night. I parked next to a BB with rims and stock corners. Windows were tinted and it had a SC license plate.

So come on...who else is a Tool fan here???

 

Tool?

Ay Roger, Ima try to get some SF wheels identical to yours but in GOLD. What do yall think? I have always loved red+gold. It really gives it a racer look.

Here is an idea... but these are 18's imma get some 19's

 

you mean like this? This was the original mazdaspeed rx8 pic that were first released on the net.

 

Yeah, something like that... but with the Volks. Yay or Nay?

You going to midnight madness on the 2nd?

 

i'd say go for it. i like the look.

But nah i can't make it, gonna be in grand isle fishing from the 2nd to the 5th.

 

*sigh*

A band. http://toolshed.down.net/

 

OK...let's play a game...

I'm thinking of a four letter word...any guesses?

 

lets see...........................tool?

 

No...and it's not "suck" as in, Paretti "SUCK"s :D

 

uhhh.....ok..........and how old are u again?

 

Wow, that was really a low blow...

Now now...

Well, it looks like imma hold off on the rims and buy the rp supercat. Hopefully it won't make the car sound too loud.

 

o good, u can test that out for me before i buy one. :P lemme know

 

Damn...I kinda feel like I got served.

Oh well...REVi came in today. I hope to install it over the weekend.

 

I say go for it!

 

You think you can help me roll the rear fender good ole pal?

 

OK. I installed the REVi tonight (while cooking crawfish pasta...Racing Beat makes things REALLY easy to install. Total install time was probably 1/2 hour, max. Oh, I have the Ram Air installed, so I didn't need to remove front bumper).

Butt dyno says no difference.

Attached are some pics for fun. First pic just shows how big the air filter and horn are. That's an LG6100 cellphone, for size comparison.

The other are the REVi installed. Funny thing, I think it will be easier to remove the K&N in the REVi than it is to remove the stock air filter. I didn't have to muscle any parts at all. Everything fit perfectly. I'm pretty amazed.

/edit: With regards to cooking, yes, I did wash my hands after eveyrtime I touched a car part. I went through more fast orange tonight than I ever had.

 

Nicely done! I know you had to do a lil reving after... Did you reset the ecu so it can learn the diff air flow? Any dips in the power while driving?

 

Hey all,

I got an incridible deal on some 18's on eBay. Couldn't resist. Here they are:

Unfortuatly, PePBoys managed to scratch one of them up pretty bad...so they may be buying me another set..

What Ya Think?

^^^^^^
Nice rims.

Yes, reset the ECU. Yes, had a little fun after I install the REVi. I didn't notice any dips in power.

 

Not too shabby... How's the weight compared to stockers?

Any feel difference?

 

I was thinking about buying it too... but if its only for sound then ill stay with the factory but im sure the rp supercat will make my car roar!

On that note, im going to the belle rose raceway tonight with some friends at 7 to run the quartermile. Hope my car breaks into the 14's at least. I'll have recordings but showing them will depend on the times I run.

 

How many runs did you do?

 

4 runs.

 

What were all of the run times?

 

heyyyy....just got back from grand isle....and i must say....
i
hate
sunburn!!!!!!!!!!!!
