Well if you are talking to Shady then just be glad you said it over the internet and not in person.

This forum is never dead and A lot of NOOBS do not ask questions over and over. Actually as far as SARX is concerned our recent NOOBS have been pretty cool and asked somewhat reasonable questions. Then again, they have taken advice wisely.

There is no cool club, all of us get along and not all of us are cool (I am). But it's whatever man, it's just an internet forum.

 

Oh and this isn't a miata forum. Dick riding does NOT get you in the cool club.

 

 

I work with a Bunch of Crazy Mexicans in oil field Encinal / Laredo
seen some scary people. so whether it's here or in person i speak my mind.

No offense towards any one on the forum.

i have taken ( happy now lol ) everyone's advise wisely for sure.
Will update when my 8 get's out of trans shop.

 

Glad to hear it.

 

Holy **** I've never seen "tooken" used in writing.

 

I think I fall in the recent NOOB category, although I am a 7yr rx8 owner...lmao

 

Yes, you are our "Born Again Noob"

 

Dude calm down no one has gotten over 200 whp in a 4 port.

Sidenote: I'm not cocky, I'm just awesome.

The fact is you are new here, welcome to the 8 club! Learn to take a joke and someone poking fun at you, or possibly get butt hurt when someone makes a joke...

Either way you do need to accept the fact that you started some threads which made people facepalm.

 

I think 200whp has been done with a s/c

 

lol iv'e been laughing this whole time bud. like said no offense taken or given.
i understand i own a slow car. but i also own a 9 sec bike and 2 other's when i want to go fast.

my 8 is just for when i don't feel like getting geared up to go somewhere.
if i want to wear shorts and flip flops im good to go.

 

good one.

hey anyone have an idea how to remove the "knuckle" that is supposed to be in the front lower control arm out of the hub assembly?

I iwll post a pic in a few minutes I am going to try a "pulley puller" or modification of some sort.

 

here are the pics, tried the 6mm allen on the knuckle post but to no avail...it doesnt say anyhting about this in the service manual (other than removing the ball joint from the control arm (that already happened )

I really would prefer not to have to take the hub assembly off the car.....am I missing some sort of SST


Nevermind, guess I will have to get the press for it....damnit I miss working on VW's...they were soooooo much easier

 

Yea I need to install my urethane bushings some day... I am not looking forward to that.

 

Shady you need to make a DIY so I can do the same thing.

 

AEM installed in my down time .....one less thing on my damn list.

if I would just get my stupid control arm and borla I would be good to go!

 

I installed Energy suspension bushings in my CRX. Never ever again.

 

They sent me instructions... not fun looking at all...

Especially pressing in the new bushings without a press

 

I have a old (I mean old) press goes up to 15000lbs all it needs is a hydraulic jack

 

hey, how would one go about getting a SARX decal?

do I have to pass some test, like 4th engine or something (I am on 3)

 

Just come by the house man. I have the decals here but you will owe grungepup $10.00 for the decal. You can leave it with me if you want.

 

People in San Antonio are going to start thinking all the RX-8s come with the SARX stickers from factory lol.

 

will do, I will hopefully get my control arm today and knock that puppy out then shoot you a PM. I decided to hold off on the rotor/pads/lines until I get my forgestars so that "saves" me on jack stand time.

thats a though, sell them to the dealership for the same mark up they would charge us

 

We should. Its about time SARX starts turning a profit.

 

I went to install my AP end links on the hotchkis FSB and they don't fit properly. when you tighten the nut they are "touching" the bar and not free to pivot.... I just went to their website and sure as hell are missing the spacer son of a bitch.
