It is safe to use, but you still have to go over it by hand to get it really clean. Oh, I won't get my car back today, they were missing some gaskets when they went to reassemble, so they overnighted them and I should get it tomorrow, DAMMIT

 

Awe. . Boo-hoo . . lol !! they had my car for a damn month and it still aint fixed right UGH

 

haha that sucks guys, I think the spray and wash thing will be a good start, i figured on going over it by hand after

 

Hey guys.. So how many people are going to the meet on the 21 st. And what is there to do... Just hang out??.. I think i migth be able to make it if at least some of you show up..i don't want to go and be a loner...

 

im not going to be there, unless something crazy happens and I dont have to work haha. Im not even sure If ill have my 8 back by then, its getting a new front bumper and everything put on

 

hey i read about that tim.. it sucks but is cool at the same time ... does that makes sence..

 

hey when i got my car about a year ago.. they told me that i was to rev-it up to 4000 rmp everytime i turn it off.. and that when is cold to rev-it up to 3000 and not to let it idle.. recently i went to a body shop and they guy told me that what they had told me was not true.. i have been doing it everytime i turn it off.. but since that guy told me i been kind of worry.. i am hurting my 8 ..????

 

i don't know much about cars... so anything will help thanks..i know about the check the oil every 2 tanks of gas and let it warm up and all the basics but not much other than that..

 

The only reason they tell you to rev up before you turn off is so the gas can cycle out of the rotary so you don't have a flood but honestly I don't think you have to do it every time, just on cold days and when you don't let the eng. warm up... As far as hurting the car, I don't think so its a rotary lol.

 

So I am going to the meet, I think Bose and RX8snowboard and Jethro Tull is going if he doesn't have to work. We were planning on going to get a bite before also. It would be cool if you came!

 

yeah, im not complaining. I get to drive a car getting 35mpg right now which is really helpfull since we put over 50 miles a day since were both sharing the car haha. Also get a brand new front bumper


As for the reving it up. Its for sure not needed every time you turn it off. Depending on the year it probably doesnt need it at all. Id say the 04 and 05's only need it if its on the original engine and its cold out and you dont let it warm up. The others id say the problem is fixed. I never do any revs and dont always let it warm up and never have had an issue

 

thanks all you guys for your input...
now what time are you guys planning to meet for a bite at the cotton bottom place.? and what time is the metting at??

 

What time is the meet itself, and it's at Sugarhouse Park, yes?

I'm probably going to have to choose between the Cottonbottom and the meet; won't have time for both. If so I'll take the meet itself.

 

Hey guys, the meet is at 3:00, at the lake terrace in sugarhouse park. I don't know about meeting for a burger yet, I haven't got any solid replies about it, so that may not happen

 

Are they planning on a BBQ at the park? Is that a bring your own meat affair? I'm down for the cottonbottoms still but either way I will be at the park at 300.

Ed, I just realized you hit me up on myspace. Good to see you on the boards, and hopefully at the meet. Don't worry about the revving like others said unless you have problems with cold start and so forth. You not hurting anything, as long as you redline the engine she'll be good to you.

 

.. . . you engine will explode if you dont rev her up every shut down!!!! BEWARE!!! haha JK JK Its a car you can turn it off without revin it Just dont recommend shuttin it off when it hasnt warmed up but anybody know that

 

yeah it was me on that myspace...

I down for the burger .. What time ??

 

je je funny 04..

 

The meet is at 3 at sugarhouse, seems like the burger idea might be getting the kaibosch, but I wouldn't mind it. If we do it will be at like 100 or 130.

 

well i am down for it... 1:30 is good for me..

 

I'll be at the park, wont be able to make it for burgers. I'll be at the Rio Tinto Stadium! everyone is welcome to come if you don't do the burgers, it's a free Exhibition match (RSL vs Austin Axtecs) first come first serve seats, free parking, tailgate! etc. fun times. Tailgate begins 11am, Game begins at 1pm
