As long as non of your mods bolt directly to the motor you should have no problem with the 100k mile warranty. I would suggest also BHR's upgraded coils. I havn't purchased them myself but have gone through 4 sets of stock coils last year while I was still under the powertrain warranty. I still have random missfires.

My 8 is itching to get out to HPR. I just wanna go a few times first though. Also Driving school so I won't look lame and confused when if I ever get out there. I also wanna do some Auto X. It all depends how my tranny is after I replace the slave cylinder. Already had McDonald Mazda replace second gear and syncros and am still grinding when shifting into second.

 

Driving school first, then HPR A driving school is a bargain. For $150-175 you get personal instruction on a course you don't know, and by the end of the day you've had all the track time you wanted and know what you're doing..

An open lapping day will cost $150 and you won't know what you're doing, you'll be in everyone's way, and I'll hate you.:P

 

Hello yffs:

Hitting HPR again this Friday A.M. (May 13th) if anyone is interested. I know that Scott (Ergokinetics) and Mike (E90 M3) will be going as well for the morning session.

Hope some of you guys can make it out!

 

Ha... Yeah don't hate me. Sounds like school it is. When I can muster up the funds. You should post up on CMZC.net. We need more RX8s and people intrested in HPR over there. We do weekly Sonic meets every sunday and a cruise through the mountains afterwards. That is also the new home of MHR (Mile High Rotaries) You could meet more RX8/rotary owners there.

 

^^^yeah^^^ sign up on CMZC. We need more 8s!

 

mountain drives...sounds fun. I feel like going for a drive today but just cant seem to find anyone else interested.

 

I am a slave to work on the weekdays!

 

I here ya. I think i might just cruize on my own.

 

Hey Colorado Springs, sorry I haven't been around here for a while. Im deployed right now in case you didnt know. I'll be back soon. Hey Greek, remember me? Got the dent fixed. So what happened to Ghosts turbo? Well I'm saving up for a greddy turbo myself. Do you guys know if Revolutions can do the Greddy fixes and how much is labor? Also my buddy here has a Turbo on his 8 but he doesn't know if it's greddy or what because he bought the car like with it and he's a complete NOOB!!!! He's selling his kit to me. I was wondering if Revolutions can uninstall a kit then install it into mine? How much do you think labor is? Well tell everyone at CMZ that I said whats up. Have you guys heard this other speed shop in the Springs called Street Dreams? I knew the owner but I don't know what happened to him. Well, duty calls. See you in a few.

 

just got to colorado springs!!!

 

Welcome! Check out the coloradomazdaclub.com for events in the area.

Hope to see you around....

 

I interviewed for a job in Springs yesterday...will keep y'all posted.

 

I just arrived in Colorado a few days ago!

Got a house in Loveland (hour north of Denver) we are moving in Tuesday.

I hope to be able to get together and meet some local 8 and Mazda owners!

I was wondering if anyone wanted to get together for UFC 100 on the 11th?

And so far my car seems to be running fine- idle is good and I haven't had to adjust anything. I haven't really gotten on it yet to test out, been too busy, but I am pulling more vacuum it seems (odd) around 22" at idle.

Tomorrow is a free day so hopefully I can test her out in boooooost

Hey chickenwafer how are you enjoying colorado so far? So what did you think of the fight? I went and caught it at Champs in Denver with a few friends.

 

hey guys, i'm in Denver area too. just have a quick question. any of you know where I can find a good body shop to paint, do body kits.

 

Hey man. So far Colorado is pretty nice. I love the mountains...the air is crisp....and it isn't 115 degrees! But the bugs and rain are KILLING me. Not used to that LOL

The fight was pretty kickass. When Henderson knocked Bisbing out I knew nothing could up the rest of my night LOL. I was just a little sad when Mir lost to Lesnar....I wish Frank could have put a better fight.

I'm going to the show at Mazda Of Lakewood on the 25th, you guys should come down.

 

I am soooo pissed that I am going to miss the biggest Mazda meet in CO. So far it looks like you wil have the only 8 in the show (from CMZC anyway). If I wasn't in Iraq I would have definitly been there!

Good luck!

 

Oh damn you're right man! I will have the only 8. So sad. I will represent well tho!

 

Is there any shop in the west Denver Metro area (Arvada/Golden/Lakewood)that you trust to replace the plugs on my (2004) RX-8's rotary... and not charge a ton of money?

The acceleration is a bit boggy when hot, and its got 42K, so now's the time.

I know that DIY is best, but I just don't have the room or free time, and I have this recurring nightmare about destroying my car.

I've also read horror stories about dealers charging $800 or more just to replace the plugs - but that's out of control. Yeah, I know I have a cool sports car... but I don't have that kind of dough to blow!

Any help would be appreciated in finding a decent shop that won't soak me because I have an RX-8.

 

I can't think of anyone better either! G/L

 

Thanks bro!

If anyone else if free this saturday, you should come out of the Mazda Of Lakewood event. It's gonna be a good time!

 

i might come down... depends what comes up. but does anyone know of some good bodyshops in the thorton/ brighton area? or somewhere close to that...

 

Hey Darth,

What are using (software wise) to post your pic's? Do you reduce the file size and/or pixels?

Want to post some of my pics but can't figure out how.

Thanks for your help!

 

Open the file in paint, click on Image, and then go to stretch/skew.

Shrink it down (its by percentage). Then save it and upload it. Let me know if you need more help.
