joey Think you got the wrong car. I don't have any mesh. If you are refering to the car from our meet. I believe he used one of them leaf guard for your house

Speedrx8er 06-28-2005 09:16 AM

Sad sad :( haaahhaha been away for 4 days and when I got back it starts raining!!!
Can't drive the car!!! hahah anyways. Thinking about getting the Cansan. .

Ahh.. back from my vacation... but my car is garaged down in Farmington until my housemate finishes moving out.. :(

So I havn't driven the 8 for more then 2 weeks now.. and it'll probably be another week or so before the garage is cleaned out here.. :(

I saw 3 (4) RX-8's in Europe.. 2 Titanium Grays in the (London) UK. (RHD) and 1 Titanium Gray in (Budapest) Hungary. (Also saw a Red one sitting on a dealer lot in Hungary as we drove by...)

The little rear euro spoiler is certainly interesting. It would have been nice for that to be a US option. A bit more variety in the car.

Also one of the Titanium Grays in the UK had the headlight washer system. I really like the clean lines of the US (washerless) front end. It would be a neat feature to have.. but definatly not worth the visual impact.

Anyone got an RB intake?

How does it work with all the humidity?

papajoey79 07-05-2005 08:20 AM

I had that SR Motorsports intake on my car and it never ran right with it? Never heard of RB?

When I drive the car hard in second and go to shift into third at high RPM's it grinds like crazy? I'm thinking it's the syncro, but could it be the clutch? I figured if it was the clutch it would slip.....Anybody

Think it maybe your clutch.

Does your car slip or does it grind when shifting?

Autocross
 
Autocross this weekend in Grand Forks!!! Wish some of you Minneapolis guys could make it out here...the Fargo one was a great turn out and so much fun!!!
Minneapolis needs to have one so I have an excuse to drive my car up there.
I wanted to put some pics on this post but I couldn't figure it out?
Is anyone using there High flow cats on there turboed cars? I know there was a backfiring issue with that, but mine backfires as it is so whats the difference?

Speedrx8er 07-08-2005 10:03 AM

There are a few in the horsepower upgrade section having problem with the cat/exhaust.

Speedrx8er 07-14-2005 10:48 AM

Papajoey,

Did you get the extra wire from Greddy? I got mine and made the changes.
Car seem to run alot better!! less boggy

papajoey79 07-15-2005 08:20 AM

lets have another get together guys...dates anyone?

papajoey79 07-16-2005 10:43 AM

I'm leaving for Ohio but I'll be back Aug 3rd so if you guys doing something after that I'll show up...

Speed did you make a boost controler?
My friend is making me one today out of some parts from the air tool section from sears?

He said it will cost 5 to 10 bucks! He did it with his turboed VR6 and it works great.
I'll let you guys know how it went

fray 07-16-2005 11:05 AM

I vote for the beginning of August.. :-) That should avoid most of the recall "in-the-shop" problems I suspect later in August will have.
