All I saw was a gal in the car.

She smiled and waved though. ;)

I didn't know you were heading out to Delaware.

What's going on out there?

CF hood on your 8?

Turbo kit finished?

Speedrx8er 01-13-2007 08:25 AM

My lil bro got his 8 in NJ and it came with carbon fiber hood.
But have come oxidation.

I hadn't start on the kit yet :(. I've been driving my car sense my lil bro has been taking my wife's car.

Ah I see.

Thinking you must have finished your kit if you got a CF hood... ;)

How bad was the oxidization?

If you clear it, make sure and have the surface free of oxidization before spraying. Clear is expensive.

I have them set at 32 lbs, max pressure on them is 50 lbs.

When I had them set higher (45 lbs) I lost traction noticably
quicker. ;)

Hey guys just thought id post a little video i made while i was bored with no insurace on my car for the winter. sorry i didnt turn my lights on right away http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5soA-X1Hgs

BoosTED 01-22-2007 04:09 AM

:) Sounds nice JPotta. :icon_tup:

Did you warm the car up first for about 10 minutes?

(exhaust is warmer, the flames will be bigger). :D:

JPotta 01-22-2007 08:33 AM

Yea I did let it warm up to normal operating temp. The flames seem to be much bigger when Im driving tho.

Speedrx8er 01-22-2007 08:42 AM

That would be because the ECU can tell when there is a load on the engine and it gives more fuel. :) oh and when driving the RPMs usually stay above 3 constantly, keeps the tips warm enough to ignite the unburned fuel when it hits the oxygen. ;)

BoosTED 02-13-2007 03:33 PM

Hey guys and gals lunch at Spectators in Ham Lake, Thursday February 15th, at Noon.

Highway 65 and 181st Ave. On the West side of highway 65.

BoosTED 02-14-2007 07:02 AM

Speedrx8er 02-14-2007 07:05 AM

Anyways here is a quick update on my winter project.
My parts came in.

Intercoolor & pipes installed.
Dumb me forgot to do some measurement. So when I mount my bumper back on.
what you know hehahaha it did not fit. It sat to low and was hitting my fog lights
So, I yanked it back and make some cuts then mount everything back on.

BlackStar04 02-14-2007 10:54 AM

Hey everyone,

Bought my Black RX8 about 6 months ago and its been in storage for about 3 months now. about to pull it out in about 2 weeks. just bought 18x8 40 offset TSW Thruxtons and bought the Kumho Ecsta SPT tires for the time being. When i have to purchase new tires i think i am going to go with the BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT Tires. I live right next to Ridgedale mall are there going to be any meetings in the near future. i know Danny who drives a Yellow RX8 and he said that a lot of you meet at the Fudruckers off of 394 and louisiana. Let me know it'd be nice to meet up sometime.

Thanks
Justin

Welcome to the club Blackstar04.

I think our next official meet will be after the snow is gone.

but in between we tend to meet up here and there.

if you see a gray or red 8 in your area. It mustly likely it'll be me(gray) or my bro(red)

BoosTED 02-14-2007 03:49 PM

Welcome to the club Blackstar04. :)

Crazy 8 driver (with the yellow) had mentioned he knew a couple of guys with 8s as well.

We almost did Fuddrucker's Thursday (tomorrow) but it is going to be Spectator's in Ham Lake at noon.

Highway 65 and 181st ave. Spectators is on the west side of highway 65. ;)

Sign up on mnrx8club.com and watch the club events. Then you can let Crazy 8 driver know when there is stuff going on.
