Ok .... so Thursday at sherlocks @ 730

 

Car is in the shop gettin body work done....thanks to some random a-holes.....

Thursday at 730 sounds good to me....should be done with my job before then

 

Help! I still need the front bumper reinforcement bar, the retaining bracket, the the left and right retainer plates, and the front spoiler(black piece on bottom.)/air Dam. Maybe some side skirts, and I'm thinking about going with a shine auto autobahn replica front.

 

Sorry buddy, I don't have any of that. Complete Foreign on New Laredo highway might. They had a lightning yellow 8 but I cannot remember if the front is gone.

 

Yeah!!!! Raul will be back soon. Next up some new shoes!

 

So who all is going Thursday?

 

The wife and I will be there.....

Dropped the S off to get some logs... hoping to squeeze 2-3 psi more boost when it's all said and done. Any higher and the life of the turbos will be really affected. Unfortunately, he'll have to get those O2's working to properly log so I'm waiting to hear back on how many need replacing. They go for $150 each so this could get pricey. I might have to hold off on logging depending on that.

 

They are selling the entire front bumper assembly as a whole. And will not part out. For the whole assembly, it'll be $1000. that's not cool. lol. I have a bumper. Just have to sand it down, fill in a couple of chipped spots, and then primer, then I'll have to find someone who can paint well. Headlight has been replaced, but I can't put it on, because the front end isn't aligning properly. Anyone know of any good frame and alignment shops close to new braunfels? Already replaced the tail light, but Someone told me that the dent on the bumper can be pulled out, but it has to be heated up, first? idk.

 

New Braunfels Frame & Alignment
1396 West San Antonio Street, New Braunfels, TX (830) 629-0142


Old school place but they were always fair and reasonably priced. I lived in NB for over 10 years and they worked on several alignments on various cars I owned after coilover installs, etc.

 

Fortunately, the only bad O2 sensor is behind the cats which means it's not a problem. The other codes were because of how rich the tune had the car running. Took a couple revisions but got it back and it's definitely running better. The idle is smoother as is the boost. There were a couple spots where the boost was a bit "fluttery" before and that got worked out. It now spikes up to about 22 or 23 psi.

I didn't get a lot of time to drive around, but the difference seems pretty noticeable. The only thing that may be good or bad is when boost really kicks in. It feels like it might be a bit more sudden which is not the best for regular driving. Like I said, I need to drive around a bit more to get a better feel. It might have just been the way I was accelerating. I'm thinking it might be spooling a bit better now so it might just take some getting used to the reduced lag time.

 

^ Nice!! So did you get the 02 replaced?

 

 

Nah... not sure if I'll get a code again though. If I do, I'll probably replace it after christmas... spent a fair amount of money on the logs and those sensors aren't cheap lol. I'll hopefully be getting a good amount from christmas/birthday. I think the codes were mostly because of the running rich... might not have a problem since they tuned it now.

 

Merry Xmas SARX.... Bazooka and AMP mounting is done I am doing the rest of the install tomorrow (Sunday) if anyone wants to drop by...

 

You should really invest in a gauge to monitor EGT and a Wideband. Must haves for FI. Or at least a way to data log and check things.


Happy Holidays!! Damn I wish I could come by and learn but I am out of town. But I did get race ramps and a 2 gallon mitivac oil extractor from my dad And I got some new tires for myself

 

Sup guys? Just checking in, happy holidays.

 

Happy Holidays man. I'm am bushed, swaps off road bumpers from on of my dads Jeep to his other. So pretty much I have been wrenching for three days straight. But I drove two hours back today and my car is running perfect and consuming 2 stroke like a champ.

 

I'm in SA for a week working at my dads auto shop and while I was here, I'm wondering if anyone in the lounge here has an original rx8 rim they have absolutely no use for. I can't drive my baby until I find one
