Sorry I missed everyone. Had to work. But I was still able to get there at 530 and saw Kevin's car roar back to life.

 

good thing we left when we did. My cousin Dave would have been making an offer on your 8.

 

Sorry I couldn't make it today guys, been sleeping all day, and have the flu, definitely not going to work tomorrow.

As far as the sides, they are Versus Motorsport MS reps and when I fit them up to the body the rear part has a gap. Probably could work with a lot of body work. I don't have pics, but I would like to get these out of my garage, heck you can take my FD3S sides as well. I will probably buy authentic sides as I don't want to waste more money buying crap.

 

Have him make me an offer.

 

Thanks for hosting today Fuz! Had a good time seeing you all and hope we can do it again come spring

Went to Spring Grove and downtown this evening and took a few pics...

 

Where are you located?
I might come get them from you if you're giving them away..

 

I think he's going to be looking for an older one that he can grab for under $8000. Something to play and tinker with.

 

Kytten,

I guess I should change my nick to MazdaX4 now that I have an RX-7. Thanks for the new car you gave me!

 

On Mall Rd. PM me for address if you're interested.

 

PM'd BB8!

 

@fuz thanks for hostin the meet dude was a good time. nice to see there are other people than me that own an rx8 hahaha.

 

Alright, unless this plate is unavailable when I go to order them, these are the options for the front plate. Now this is a LAST resort, as I plan on running without a plate until I get notified/pulled over for not running one. So hopefully this plate would just sit in my trunk.

According to the site they have never had anyone ticketed for running one of their plates on the front. I've always preferred the euro style plates. Let me know which one you think would look best on my black r3





Maybe I'm crazy to think that it would look better than a regular plate.

 

You're crazy to think it would look better than no plate :P

 

No plate FTW!

If a cop pulls you over for no plate, tell them the car was designed without a plate and having one causes the car to overheat. If that doesn't work, offer up a doughnut with sprinkles.

I need to talk to Chief about boosting my Miata since I was ridiculed yesterday Wait until I pop a turbo in it and rip-snort the wheels off your 8's. :0

 

Boost is better!!!!!

I think the euro plate will look better than a regular plate, but def go with your plan of running without as long as you can.

The wife helped me bleed my brakes again. Much better. Not sure if perfect, but better. I'm not used to the car anymore, so it could be a figment of my imagination. Once the grab, they grab and i still have pedal left, so i'll drive it a couple more times and bed my pads first before i decide.

Thanks again for coming over everyone. I had a good time and the car is back to normal which was a relief. It started right up today. Now it needs a good bath.

 

>Fuztupnz
thanks for hosting, and you have a great place. love the whole setup, and looking forward for the next gathering!

>Rotary-Kytten
thanks for the RX-7!

 

Wendy I saw your car yesterday or the day before.
And I thought to myself.
"Fml, we've got another VR 8 around here."
Because I hadn't ever seen those wheels before. hahahaha.
I was so pissed.
I feel better now :P

 

Lmao- nah, still just ythe two if us out here kid I got bored and plasti dipped my stocks tolook "different". Your response = mission accomplished Changes her entire look for sure.

 

True story, my wife and I were heading to one of the older kids' place, her in the 8 with two and me in the Miata with one. She was ahead of me pulling onto North Bend Rd and got further ahead while I stopped before turning. Some of you may recall from previous stories that the woman has a heavy foot. Anyway I blasted by her and her youngest son asked if she was going to let me get away with that. She told him she had no choice. Light weight and 150 or so horsepower make for a lot of fun. The 50 or so additional hp I'll have when I get home will make it that much better.

In other news, the wife tells me the Speed is making a whooshing noise. That tells me the boost tube from the turbo outlet to the intercooler inlet came loose again. I told her not to drive it unless she has to and to take it easy. Not sure why the damn thing did that, it's 4 ply silicone with a T-clamp holding it. I'll probably just put the stock rubber one back on.

 

Maybe she had someone increase the boost while you were gone. She's probably street racing again.

 

i don't know man that looks kind of sketchy i think you might get pulled over more for having that plate than none at all; only way your gonna get out of it is if you grow a thick european accent when you get pulled over haha!

yeah right dude! whats that miata pushing now? 150hp?? prolly the same torque as an 8; you need to do a v8 swap and make that sucker into a banshee! http://staceydavid.com/projects/banshee

 

Probably.

Unfortunately a stock NB (second gen) Miata only puts about 110-120 to the rear wheels. Mine with a small supercharger is around 150. The bigger one that's waiting to go on should put me up around 200-210.

I was at The Mitty last year at Road Atlanta, Flyin' Miata had several of their cars (all three generations) there with LSx transplants. Talk about stuffed! I can't imagine a Miata with 300-400 hp, it would be insane.

 

no put the 3 rotor in if you want a true bad *** car that will rape anything on the road, and there cheep!!

 

a 20b is not cheap

You can get an LS6 with a T56 ~$6000 with pretty low miles. About 400hp and 400ft/lb tq

20b with no tranny (only came in auto tranny cars) with lowish miles is ~$3000 and would need a rebuild to do it right @~$4000 or dollars or more. You'd only have ~280hp and 290ft/lb of torque stock. You'd need a single turbo conversion, and a tranny to get to the ls6 stock numbers. Weight is almost the same for a dressed engine. engine + rebuild + mods + tranny = about ~$10k

I'd go lsx any day even if it doesn't sound as wicked. It's has more power potential, more stock power, more reliability and better drivability.

Just my thoughts and possibly the direction my 8 will go in as some point in the future.

 

^ I may lose respect for you lolol
