Imagine I was trying to teach you something that was super intricate and I sent you a PowerPoint or two. Now imagine I spent time in person teaching you the same material. Which way would be better?

so you want a dyno day so that MM can teach you how to tune your own car instead of him tuning it everytime?

No. Dyno day so he can be in the car and see the effect his changes are having real time on the car. Plus dyno days are awesome

Live tuning is much faster. What could take weeks online can be done in (I'd imagine) less than 30 minutes live. He'd be able to make multiple revisions pretty much instantly.

Is this dyno day a definite or something you guys are trying to coordinate? If it happens, I hope it happens before 2 November.

.

At the pace it's going now, it will never happen. I wish it would happen soon though. No one has an accessport and/or money.

ATTENTION ALL SARX MEMBERS

A local RX-7 group is having a meet at the Pig Stand on Broadway, tomorrow evening at 8PM. I contacted the guy and he said all rotaries are welcome to attend. Cornholio135, myself, and Grungepup are in. So lets represent the RX-8 and show these guys we are not stuck up snobs. Please wash your cars

We will probably leave around 7 or so. I'll be around all day finishing my nitrous, mowing, washing my car, etc.

Guys, i found out about a week ago that the USAF wants me outta here. Cue massive scramble to get the paperwork finished. Finally got it all done and had the movers come and pack it and I'm moving away right now. I just wanted to say you guys are awesome for helpping me out like you did and I was hoping to get a bit more autocross or rx8 community stuff in before I left, but you know how it goes - Uncle Sam says jump and you ask how high :p right now I'm headed to pope afb north carolina.

Anyway, hope the meet goes well. Hope the 8 community over by ft. Bragg and Raleigh turns out as cool as you all.

Well Dammit...

So I went to my step son's shop to get my BBS wheels mounted and he test fitted one and the inside hub on the wheels are too small to fit over the hubs on the car...The hubs on the RX8 are 67.1 mm and the wheels are 60.1... So I take them back home and do some searching on the webs and I found a wheel shop close to my house that can machine the wheel hubs to 67.1 mm I left them at the shop and they will have them ready Monday so after work I am going to finally get them mounted...

One car cleaned and one more to go... see yall at Pigstand tonight...

Weird, that can be an issue but usually the bore is larger than ours. I finally got my nitrous in and went for some runs. I can definitely feel it but not like the NX kit I had on my CRX. But I don't have the pressure gauge hooked up either so I don't know how much pressure I have. the bottle might be low.
