New motors don't exist...

Well I mean you can get all new components and have a builder assemble them if you really want to... But that's a huge waste of money.

 

Did you ever get to seafoam?...Also, when did you last change the coils, plugs and wires?...Lastly, what were the RPMs listed?

 

Don't see the rpm on there. CPW was 9k ago. BHR ignition.

 

Whats up guys~! Ill be in Dallas this weekend to pick up my engine from BDC. If anyone would like to meet up or hang out Saturday night or Sunday morning let me know.

Also if you guys need anything from the SA area I dont mind taking it up.

 

awe man.....wish I was going with you!

 

Getting new rotors this week. Anyone doing any work on their car next weekend and willing to show me how to install my rotors and brake pads.

 

What time are you planning on heading out, hoss -05?

Hey Antonio, have you contacted Team?...Like I said, between he and I, we're pretty much the only people you're going to get help from in this area...In all honesty, he's your best choice for this, having done it multiple times.

Keep in mind, it may or may not be a quick job...Just depends on what you find...Mine turned out to be a 6 hour job with Team.

 

 

No, I don't know who that is or how to contact him.

 

You must have missed my last couple of replies...Teamrx8...I'd be amazed if you haven't come across him on here yet...PM him.

 

You dont need to get all gangsta with the install just install the rotors and pads and be done with it.

Its painfully easy.

 

Yawn... "Its Been Awhile"...

 

I said that the other day in one of my previous posts...I can do the quick, easy job...Team will check thoroughly as he goes.

 

Finally have my rotors and pads installed. It's been kind of quiet in here it would be nice to have a meet.

 

The DFW crew is dead to the world.

 

You're lurking on the wrong thread for meets, buddy...We do have meets...We just had one last week actually...Go find the DFW weekly and monthly meets thread.

 

True... I am still lurking behind the shadows until I can make my return ... I just have not given 2 ***** about my car the last 6 months...

 

My plans for my 8... Its time to get back into my car so I have a project being set up... Trying to be a little more active on the forums as well...

*TeamRX8 has sold me a spare motor with 7K miles on it, original engine etc for a Daryl Drummond rebuild. His motors pretty much speak for themselves.

*Need to buy a new clutch speedbleader

*I need to remove my BHR flywheel and MS clutch/PP so I can ship them to Daryl, but with Team pretty busy I might just end up buying a new clutch and flywheel and sell my used BHR Fly/MS clutch when I pull this current engine...

* Overkill I know, but im probably gonna go with Evans NPG coolant, just for ***** and gigs...

*Change/regrease brake pads with possibly something more for the street (Im on Hawk HP+), considering Hawk Ceramics...

*Going to Advantage Autoworks to get my hood professionally recleared as I got egged... Ill probably have them buff out my headlights as well (oxidation). As much as Id like them to repaint my front bumper, I simply dont have the cash atm with my engine build going on to repaint it.

* Need to fully professionally detail my 8 myself... Should take the whole day and I need to buy like quite a bit new cleaning supplies...

*Have a rattle somewhere in my exhaust and its annoying the living **** out of me. Im not sure if its the BHR midpipe, or maybe an apex seal stuck somewhere or if its my Rev8 exhaust... so to hopefully relieve the issue I bought a Greddy SE exhaust. Its time for a new exhaust sound since the only exhaust Ive ever owned has been the RB Rev8.

*Going for the Titanium theme now, a little less chrome now... Gonna find some Titanium lugs for my RPF1's as well as try to find an ARC titanium column shifter (Would be hella dope)...

*Wouldn't mind getting some new reinforced sway bar brackets...

Basically, since last August I really haven't really paid attention to my 8, so im trying to get myself back into it... College has taken up basically all of my time that I used to spend on my 8...

I still plan to attend a few autoX events and hopefully some track days (as I havent yet gotten my 8 to the track) so If anyone is interested, let me know. I know I already have a few friends (03' Mustang GT and 08' 350Z) interested...

Im sure Im missing a few things but this is all I can think of for the time being...

 

7k all track miles... I'd rather get a mazda reman.

 

AutoX miles are different then Track miles...

 

Whatever you say man.. hope you got a good deal on it.

 

Think about it... Track you have no cool down period, it's constant WOT...
AutoX your hard on it but it's not WOT for 20+ minute sessions... Besides Mark wouldn't toss me a bad engine... And it's not like Daryl won't replace anything that isn't Race ready... Daryl doesn't build street engines...

 

It's your money dude, I certainly am in no position to give advice.

I am just offering a third party perspective...

You are buying an engine used only in a race car, built to be a race engine, which costs $10,000+ and has 7k on it. The owner spent $10,000+ on it and is not using it...

You want to put it in a street driven car...

It just doesn't add up... But that's me I have no room to talk at all... Also Team is always right, so you do what you want.

Anwyays, good luck man I really hope it works out should be a fun little car if everything goes to plan.

 

 

Yeah mang, you should look up dem Texas Speed Demons on Facebook. Dem' fools haz some tight rides.
