It's all good.

Feel free to advertise for me if anyone around knows someone who'd want to buy my 8 as well...it's a shameless plug I know.

Steve:the car looks great! CEL about emissions are joke when there's no e-check lol. There's a reason I don't have emissions oeither one of my cars, though I kinda wish I did for the 8 now since I never got around to getting it tuned.

Bb8: can't wait to see how your car turns out.

 

I want to do that. Never liked the look of the chrome on the front vents.

Just drove to Kansas City, MO today. Got 23mpg on the way down.

 

So who's doing Fuel Saturday? I'm there! Wife says she'll be with me.

 

I'll probably be there. Plans slightly changed but weather looks good. I have to meet your better half and talk to her about how to convince my wife the need for more stuff on the car.

Allen: Easy fix. The black trim part below the fogs pulls straight out. Grab it on the corners with equal pressure and it has two snaps retaining it and pull straight out. Two Phillips head screws hold the chrome bit in place. Wet said with 400 grit sandpaper to prep the surface and have at it. I used Rustoleum satin black for all surfaces. I have about 4 coats of paint on mine. The last one I put on a little heavy to give it some texture to match the black plastic.

I'm going to paint the chrome surround on the side markers eventually. Not sure if I'll paint the Mazda emblem on the hood and the chrome RX-8 on the rear.

 

Looks like I'm going autocrossing! Plans for the other event fell through so I got the go-ahead. Not a very big signup so far.

 

no fuel for me. out of town this weekend.

 

Is anyone on here interested in trading for some of my aftermarket parts for your stock parts plus a little cash? The parts I'm interested in trading are my AP catback, AP midpipe, and my Racingbeat Intake and duct. PM me if you're interested. I'm probably going to look at putting the car back to stock as a potential option to trade in. So the exhaust is probably the number one priority.

 

Same for me

 

Dan, I'd consider buying the AP off you but I want to hold on to the stock exhaust if/when I sell off mine. I'm not sure the RB Revi fits on the S2. I need to check.

Steve

 

My dad and I should be able to make it, don't know about the wife though.

 

Do you need a stock air box? Still need my multi-colored fogs? Maybe we can work out some kind of deal. Money is tight though right now. Do you have to remove the front bumper to put that intake on?

 

looks beast steve now you should black your emblems

 

>BBrx8
sorry I beat you on the air box by couple hours!
if my deal fall through (which means my wife change her mind and start beating me up), you'll have chance... ^^;

anyways, i guess I'll see you guys at the autocross!

Tact

 

why do i have a feeling that there may end up being a little mod party at my place for this stuffs? i may have someting going on with dan for a certain mod as well that would require both my car and his car to be in the same place.

 

I think your guts tells you right...
or, if you want, you can use my place for it, since Dan lives not so far from my house. Either way, we can have a little party.

 

I have air tools. Just sayin'

either place works though. Timing might be the interesting part.

 

lol

you are more than welcome to bring your air tools and leave it at my garage to use it anytime!

btw, i have a leaky air compressor, do you know how i can replace to pressure sensor / regulator combo unit where it leaks? it's craftsman but so old and they don't have any replacement parts....

 

If there aren't any cracks or anything, pull it apart, clean everything up and put it back together with teflon tape. If the regulator itself is leaking internally, you might be up **** creek.

 

damn....
it has a crack where you screw in the hose, on the regulator, and it is regulator/pressure switch combo unit there... i was looking at those third party pressure sensor, and thinking maybe i can use to... I JBweld and taped over, but it didn't quite stop the leak... guess i'm out of lack.. been using just to fill the tire so far, but was hoping to use it on other things...

30gal tank with 10cfm@90psi, so really looking forward to use it with tools though...
oh well..

 

I was leaning more towards not going that route anyways, spent way too much on this car and I need to draw the line somewhere. See you Sunday.

Don't worry Tact, the wife will like the new giant sucking sound coming from under the hood
Hey guys I might need a little help someday with an install

 

We may be able to make that happen BB8. late sunday and/or monday next weekend (Memorial day) or possibly the next sat/sun are looking almost clear for me.

 

I second this.

And I just assume S1 things don't fit on S2s at all.

 

Thanks Fuz, hopefully I have my car back by next weekend, but I guess I can wait until more free time comes up in the future with it.

The REVI intake does fit on the S2 BTW.

 

Are you post stalking me james?

 

I have a set of the installation instructions for the RB intake if they are needed. It's actually fairly easy to install but you have to remove the bumper. I still need to get in touch with RB, mine was missing a couple of small pieces that I would like to get.
