see you all there! :D

 

some of you should have come last weekend. a group of us mazda enthusiasts had a road race up to mall of america where we were met with a fairly large group of minnesotans. it was mostly proteges but i was lonely being the only rx-8 there.

 

Joseight:

Way to represent :D

 

True:

What a Great Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Guess I"ll go wash the Car

 

I'm washed and I'll head out at 12:30 so I can warm up the car and set up the hymee scanalyser

 

Today was GREAT!! Nice ride, nice view, nice people, and nice cars .

 

Next project for me is to Fabricate the airbox

 

Speedrx8er, after looking at your turbo configuration, I was curious what you were going to do.

Is there a way you can reuse the old airbox cover and adapt it (or the intake pipe) to fit better in the stock location?

I'm also curious if the stock airbox intake has enough air coming into it for your turbo, assuming you did find a way to reseal it shut.

 

I am pretty sure it will not fit. Unless I chop it up. like you, I am not sure if I use the stock air box if it'll get enough air. How ever there is a stock air tube the lets air in from the outside.

 

trying to make one like the one in the Greddy sema show

 

Great to see everyone today, the weather was great for a change. Sorry I had to leave early, hope we can have another event soon. Thanks for the images TM!

 

:D

 

I uploaded the pics I sent you guys for everyone on the forum to enjoy...I'll be uploading more but these are some of my favorites...especially the one with Frank leading us up the hill :D

heheh :D nice!!

 

BTW I found the guy who originally ordered my car (happens to be a memory of rx8club.. or was)

He said that most of the apperance stuff on my car was put on AFTER he sold it back to Mazda.. so either the Leasee dealer or the Leasee themselves are the ones who added the side aero flares, the b-pillar stuff and the oiler cooler screens.

Now if only I could find the guy who leased it to ask what all they did to it.

 

Fray if you let me look it over for a minute or two I probably can figure it out :p

 

ha! I'm pretty sure it was done professionally.. (or the guy was really good).. All of the accessories look very well installed.. to the point I didn't even realize they were accessories... (especially the B-Pillar covers)

(the pictures I took when I first got the car)

 

Question for you guys.

Going with my sleeper theme. Any ideas where I can put my Boost gauge?

 

sounds crazy but a for a real sleeper you've got to mount it inside an airvent or...

take apart stock gauges and replace one of the electronics with the boost gauge...using the stock needle

 

Air vent? hmmmmmm

 

that is where I keep my radar detector display (recently I pulled it out since I have no need for it until I get a laser jammer as well)

 

There is that nice round one on the Driver side EHHEHE :D

 

I was thinking inside of the ash tray. But of course keep the cover there so that it's not visible w/o opening the door.

 

I tried the Ash tray. don't think it'll fit because it'll require me to yank the whole thing out.
cover and everything. I'll look at it once more to make sure.
