Got my speakers in... I'll probably recruit some help to do the install sometime. Doesn't look too difficult but figure it'll go quicker with some help lol.

Do you guys have torx sets? If not, I think a friend might have a set.

 

I got my 3rd motor at 96,000. The latest flash is done to the ECU, not the motor. It increases the OMP rate but that in itself has not proven to do anything really. My second motor lasted 74,000 with the increased rates and apex seal wear still killed it (loss of compression and stalling). The S2 Renesis is faulted form a design standpoint and unless you try to extend the life by premixing, it will eventually fail. But if you don't plan on keeping it for many miles then don't worry about it.

I have a torx set of wrenches. Just let me know.

 

if i dont spend another dollar on my 8 until march i can be boosted by the texas 8 so you better check yourself before you wreck yourself 9k :D

 

Then you would have all that power an skinny tires. Battle goes to 9k

 

That would be awesome to see you turbo-ed but that Turbo won't help you in the driving department :p

You better start saving and make sure you do it right. Going turbo is not for the meek, we are prebuilding an 8 for FI right now so if you need any pointers let me know, I'd be happy to help. I'm glad to see you didn't waste time getting into your 8, that's awesome dude.

 

ouch

 

Here's the basic install thread I'm basing my stuff off of... is that just a generic silicone sealant that he's using?

Did you forget a link?

 

no

That guide doesn't have info for the rear deck and I haven't found a DIY for taking the rear deck apart, so just have to kind of figure that out along the way unless I can find information on it.

 

Oh ok

 

This car being for sale at this price is just not fair. Why couldn't he have tried selling a few months earlier?

 

applicable again

 

Sunnofabitch I was having withdrawls.

 

 

9k can you text grungepup and ask him if he has found anything out about his job in houston for me and also would the sarx crew be willing to help install a turbo kit in the very distant future?

i have no experience with cars at all besides replacing a water pump on a k5 blazer, installing my suspension, CAI and lebren+puddle lights lol.

everything ive learned ive learned from doing so far

 

I can't seem to get it right lol. I could almost swear I included the link but I guess I only did the "copy" part of "copy->paste".

I will email you tonight

 

Yeah I would love to help, I have done a few turbo installs, some custom and a cybernations kit and a couple of Greddy setups as well as a few subie and EVO upgrades. You just need to make sure you have the time and all the parts. Are you upgrading cooling at the same time? I assume you are are getting the COBB and service from MM? Are you going to run the SOHN adapter?

 

I need to stop looking at classifieds when I have no money... someone's selling a set of rims that are almost exactly what I was looking at getting.


SARX: Houston Edition?

 

Talk them down enough where it's ok to put it on a credit card lol. That's like the stupidest thing ever but it's addiction.

 

Student with no job = no credit card.

If I had a job, I'd have no problem signing over a few future paychecks lol.

edit: plus I'll have enough debt to deal with once I start grad school lol.

 

No job + med school here. I feel your pain.

Hey guys, Im new to the rotary seen and recently picked up an 04 rx8 6 spd. We've managed to do some of the simple upgrades ourselves (exhaust and cold air intake) but still wanna do plenty more. Anybody that could help out would be greatly appreciated, we're also interested in possibly attending any meets coming up.....thx
