Yeah could be that as well. We have messed with Hoss-05's car quite a bit and there are still some noises here and there but it's all good because they are drowned out by the noise form the loud *** Carbotech brake pads

could be allot of ****... My best guess is the ball joints drove down further after the car settled and need to be tq'd down again.

I found the missing seats!


http://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-RX8-R3-...item2c61135c58

This listing is for one complete set of 4 2009 RX-8 R3 factory OEM Recaro seats. 2 front and 2 back. Outstanding condition. I pulled these from my RX-8 at around 4,000 miles and installed the cloth ones from a Sport model. I have stored them covered in a closet since then. I don’t think you’ll
find a nicer set.

By the way, you guys missed a good time on Saturday at Harris Hill. They let everyone drive as much as they wanted for the whole morning. Good times, I will have some GoPro video posted up at some point.

I would have loved to have made it. Sounds like a blast.

What should I torque the spacers to?

9krpmrx8

iTrader: (46)

Let me know, I can help!

I torque mine the same as my wheels, at tad under what the last TSB recommends, 100ft/lb.

J8635621

iTrader: (10)

The TSB said 100ft/lbs because of a squeaky noise from the mating surface of hub and wheel. It's overkill really but shouldn't hurt anything. My Project Kics said 80ft/lbs on their paperwork.

9krpmrx8

iTrader: (46)

Yeah I think as long as you tighten them to at least 85ft/lbs you are good. But sometimes I worry if my torque wrench is even calibrated right. I use the crap out of my mediocre 1/2" torque wrench so plan on buying a real high end torque wrench at some point.
