I wouldn't run with the new tires... Unless you have something to prove to someone.

It's all fun and games.

 

Toeknee,

Are you going to the Hooters Show?

You can now make several jokes.

Mike

 

that depends how worn out the old tires are. If they are worn but still usable, i'd say go for them. But if they are just worn to almost nothing then use the new tires, they should be fine.
i mean i'll be running down the track on a set of dunlop runflats, so noone will get worse traction than me...lmao

 

She drives like a girl. I have nothing to prove.

 

They still have tread. They are not close to slicks, but since I have never taken a car on a track, I don't know the rules. There's no belt showing, so I think they are good (according to what I have researched).

 

yea, your fine then. As long as u have no belt showing ur good.

 

Well, I guess I'll be doing midnight madness next time I get a chance, or if there is another time the track is open to the public.

 

What suddenly came up?

 

Yeah, I'm going to the Hooter's Show. My home girl Co-Manages the place, so she is the one throwing the event. Gotta be there to support her and a few DJ's out there also.

 

Are you referring to me? If so, I've just got the itch to get the car out on the track. I'm really digging the way it's running, I'm very happy with it, I don't think I need to buy anything extra to get out on the track (like tires and rims), and I challenged Monique to a race on the phone the other day.

And it just sounds like fun. I'm not into street racing. I'd rather do something a little more controlled.

 

hehe, i wish i could find somewhere around here with a good GT/Road coarse...=(

 

Well, my car should get some paint in the next 4 weeks. As many of you know, the front cap suffers from "rock chip pit" disease. BB is very suceptible to this disease. Little white spots appear on the front cap. Some claim it is from travelling at high speeds, but I think it's from stuff being kicked up from the roads at 50MPH.

So I'm doing a favor for a friend who owns a body shop and he was going into different paint schemes. Me? I'm just, paint the front end, throw a little extra clear on there so we can water sand the crap out when I get chips, and I'll be fine.

He wants to put a coar of black with a light coat of pearl, then clear. He said in the dark, at night, the pearl shows through in the angles of the car.

I, personally, am against this. I love the way BB shows up during the day and at night. And I'm not sure about taking the time off to paint the whole car.

What do you guys think?

Oh...and I didn't get a PC DA buffer and the Menzerna products for nothing. But I guess the might work on this translucent scheme also. I just don't want to make the car too obviously modded. I think when I get the exhaust on it will be enough. I'd rather have something that looks bone stock and kick kick butt.

 

i saw a nice blue rx8 in Kenner today at my local walmart, and he/she left me a note reminding me of this place. im the guy with the blue rx8 with 117000 miles on it. i finally got the engine problem fixed. Paretti gave me a brand new engine and coils and plugs for no charge!

 

hehe welcome to the site =)

and swidd i'd say thats more of personal preference. but i'd leave it the stock color. I like black more than pearl black....but thats me.

 

ok guys i have a problem with my warranty i have an intake on the car and the dealeer wont warranty the blown motor and they are saying that the intake sucked up enough dirt and sand to sand blast the motor which i think is a load of **** but any one know of any loop holes

 

I'm going to stick with the BB. I don't really like the idea of the pearl black. Too ricy.

guidge: I thought RXH8TED was going to talk to Paretti for you? First thing you need to do is call another dealer and see if they will warranty it.

You should also prove to them that the MS intake is the same one as the AEM, especially the filter. That's the main part. As long as the K&N filter in the AEM intake has near the same specs as the factory filter, they should warranty it.

 

well i did talk to them, but they *like anyone else* needs to have the car there....

 

yes im still alive!!!!! i've been really busy. and I also went on a vacation.

 

Welcome!!! that was me. lol

 

wait a minute..117k? holy crap...

Sup man. Its good to get outta town.

I bought the GOLD 19' volks sf just like yours. Hope they hurry and come in

 

Just put the stock intake back in.
