yeah he definitely knows his ****.... The pic was taken when the injectors on the RX7 were being swapped to 2200cc's He was takin a lil rest while the labor was goin on.

What type of rotors??

 

OEM rotors, sorry forgot to add that part lol

 

Oh iv never met him so i wouldn't know. why you guys go all the way down to texas? There is a tune day here in MW pretty soon.

Either way that's cool you guys got that Rx7 tuned by a reliable person. Its always worth spending some extra cash for well knowledge people.

 

Went to texas since its his own shop and he does not have to rush. Rob (the guy i went with) has known him for a few years now and has been down a few times. Steve built his motor also. We had issues with the RX7 and we left it still sitting on the dyno when we returned to IA. Long story short, steve will Drive it up instead of flying when he does the tuning session in MN.

When I do get my car tuned, i will again go to texas. Cant beat having him tune the car in his own place. Especially if there are issues to be sorted out. We spent atleast six hours on the dyno with that seven - having ignition issues - and it was never rushed and never seemed as if anyone was getting fed up with working on cars. Again just a pleasent experience working with him.

 

People with this kind of attitude are always the best! Once some1 starts complaining **** don't get done.

We flying in "Orlando" from Puerto Rico to tune some toyotas and hopefully my 20b if done.

 

so anyone get anything new on their cars?

Im thinking on ordering the rest of MS kit, and some nice SSR wheels

 

I just bought a turbo back exhaust, cobb accessport, cobb intake, cobb post maf hose, and cobb shift **** for my STi

Does that count?

 

Sure its at least something!! lol

 

Whats up guys? Sean from Ottumwa. Anybody know of someone good to install my ACT Clutch/ Flywheel? I need it installed ASAP because I have a road trip coming up.

 

I would do it, but im lazy! lol just take it to a shop if you need it done fast.

 

In on the Iowa thread lulz

 

I am thinking that iowa is pretty much last on the number of MODIFIED RX-8's runnin around anymore.

 

Ive only lived in the area for a couple years but it is a rare occurence to see an 8 period.

 

There are a few around but most are stock. I am the only turbo one around here that i know of since SOMEONE traded for an STI lol. but, mine has been down for a year now. However, shoudl be gettin my motor back from texas in about two weeks.

 

Yeah Rx8 crowd in Iowa is dead. Only a few keep trying. I personally gonna keep it and swap engines on it. But that will be in the future.

 

Anybody going to the power tour in newton today? I'll be there, last year I never saw another 8.

 

Hey there... I'm still alive, and plan on keeping my 8 around for a while What was the Power Tour thing anyway?

 

Dude do you drive your car? lol

 

Hey out there, Autocross this Sunday on the track at Hawkeye Downs in Cedar Rapids. 3 RX-8's pre-registered already including myself. Anybody else feel like joining us?

 

If you have never tried autocrossing, please feel free to check it out. It's very cheap, addicting, and fun. We will be racing on the race track so enter in the back i believe. Hope so see you guys out there

I would go watch but the World Cup Mexico vs. Argentina Game is on at 1. lol

 

I plan on going. What time does it start? Do you know what it costs to enter? And can any car enter, my buddy wants to bring his trans am.

 

To be safe, I would get there at about 8 (like me) so that way you will have a chance to register, get your car tech'ed, and walk the course. Walking the course is the most important part so make sure you memorized to course before you run at full speed. Trust me, it goes by quick. The first car usually starts around 10:30-11

Fee should only be $30-$35, I can't remember.

Most cars can enter (expect for high riding cars that might tip over). Trans Am is a great car to go out there with. People bring all sorts of cars from full out gutted kit cars to stock grand prix's (I rented a cobalt for an event last year). Everyone I know who has gone out for the first time and raced had an absolute blast, no matter what car they drove.
