TrueG:

Do you know if the emanagement tool can monitor boost?

truemagellen 05-23-2005 11:12 AM

I think so but I do not know so :p...there are some screenshots of the program somewhere around here

as for the ashtray...u may know this already but...

1. unscrew shift knob
2. use small flathead screwdriver wrapped in one layer of electrical tape and stick it inbetween the silver of the console accent and the center console near the shift boot...then pry up...ones you have a hold of the center console piece you can pull...pull hard! and the 6 or so clips will release
3. if you have heated seat buttons disconnect those...they are colorcordinated so dont worry about mixing them up
4. now there are two black screws keeping the ash tray in place...unscrew those
5. now pull hard on the entire ashtray and ashtray door...it will dislodge...becareful not to scratch the surrounding plastic
6. disconnect connector for the lighter plug...this will be easy
7. disconnect connector for ash tray light...this will be a pain in the ass
8. now you can play around with the ash tray, remove the lighter plug///dremel it out whatever

if you want pics of how to do this I can muster some up or take some more

Speedrx8er 05-23-2005 11:44 AM

Thanks. That is enough detail. Looks like I may be able to fit it and keep the cover.
Requires some triming :)..

thanks

Speedrx8er 05-23-2005 10:54 PM

heehehe Sleeper gauge is in. I put it in the ash tray. Had to trim the top and bottom and drill a hole through the back. But at least the cover close to hide it. don't look so nice but I'll make a face cover for it soon.

truemagellen 05-24-2005 01:26 AM

pictures pictures pictures ;)

Speedrx8er 05-24-2005 08:21 AM

Will take some tonight :). Best part was I used the existing ash tray light wires.

I seen my 1st white 8 rolling on 36 today, it was heading east to maplewood or stillwater.

Not sure I like the white, doesn't look like a sports car color.

Speedrx8er 05-27-2005 03:09 PM

I saw one downtonw ST. Paul. But it had a Wisconsin plate.
Vortex where in ST. Paul are you? You wouldn't happen to be the owner of an Red one?

Vortex 05-27-2005 03:15 PM

I live in maplewood and work in minneapolis.

Red one, no, but I've seen two reds rolling around in Stillwater when I go down for lodge meetings. I see about 3 black ones on 36 every so often. I think one's a computer geek since it has a linux lic. plate cover. I've even seen a hot blond gal driving a 8 downtown minneapolis....forgot what color the car was though, too focused on her.

I've own a blue myself.

Speedrx8er 05-27-2005 03:34 PM

Cool,

Dang I drive on 36 often and have yet to spot an 8 :D . :eek: Hot blond in an 8 downtown Minneapolis dang that would have been a great Kodak pic. ahha :) .
You should have done what True does. Track them down :D

Vortex 05-27-2005 03:38 PM

Ah yes a courteous stalker. One of the reds I see in Stillwater is a old man, 60's or older. The other's windows are tinted out so I can't tell.

Yea, the blonde was knockout. I'm suprised I didn't hit the curb watching her roll by.

Speedrx8er 05-27-2005 03:40 PM

ahahaha!!!! :) . You know, I think I might have saw you a few weeks back.
You ever go to Menard right off 36??

Speedrx8er 05-27-2005 03:43 PM

If that blond drives a yellow 8. I think I know where she parks. I see a yellow one
park next the Haaf parking ramp on 4th.

Speedrx8er 05-27-2005 03:56 PM

hhaha :) lol.. Maybe I'll go for a walk next week and drop the club's calling card on her wind shield :D

truemagellen 05-27-2005 04:15 PM

Speedrx8er 05-27-2005 09:51 PM

ahhaha why a picture of you and your number hahaha J/k :D

just the email and url

papajoey79 06-01-2005 07:32 AM

Does anyone know what a turboed 8 should run in the quarter? I went to Sabin, MN Monday and ran a 15.09 in the 1/4 at 99 MPH...My reaction time was .22....I thought guys were pulling high 13's? Just wondering if it's me, the car, or if thats what I'm supposed to be running.

Joey

Razz1 06-02-2005 12:46 AM

You need a high performance vehicle to do high 13's.

Stock won't get you there.

papajoey79 06-02-2005 07:48 AM

Mine isn't stock, thats my worry! I have the Greddy turbo kit, Greddy exhaust, and under drive pullies????

Speedrx8er 06-02-2005 09:58 AM

did you turn off your DTS? I think the ones pulling 13s are boosting theirs to round 10-12 psi give or take a few psi.

Greddy tune with 5-6 psi

Speedrx8er 06-02-2005 10:00 AM

Holly smoke, hehehe I thought I was the only turbo RX8 in MN. Papajoey79 you wouldn't happen to have the e-manangement tools do you?

papajoey79 06-02-2005 10:08 AM

I was going to order it 2 days ago but the guy at greddy told me that it's good enough? He wanted me to order this Profec E-01 boost controller for $680.00...I told him to keep it! I still think my car should be alot faster? I'm taking it to the DYNO this week and I'll let you guys know what happens...I had the traction control off at the track...I did the whole hold the dsc button in until you see the car in the center dash...oh well, maby I need to learn how to launch better?
