hey phil, have you done anything with that car club yet? looks like fun ill have to see how you like it, maybe ill join. ha ha

 

Yeah those guys are cool. I'm thinking something exclusive to the RX-7 RX-8 models. Hmmm.

Hey i might as well post that our Club is having another birthday bash at Adrenaline Motorsports in St. Chuck.

January 24th starts at 1:00PM. Dyno runs will be discounted and there will be free food. I'll also have my audio meter again if anyone wants to test thier sound system. Hope to see some of you there!!!

 

Hey Brett, yeah, we had a dyno day recently in Highland, IL. The Viper got up there and posted 426whp, bone stock. We also had a Casino Queen night. Back around Halloween, we had a haunted cruise. Usually something going on every two or three weeks. Unlike trying to get a large group of Rotaries together in winter, there is always a decent turn out with them.

Nothing against this club, but it seems like we can never get a group to turn out for a gathering, that is why we stopped trying to put anything together.

 

man i really want to get into a club like this, but with being at Mizzou it may be a hassle to drive back and forth, but it would be o so worth it! gotta do somethin to get my car fix every once in a while and the car scene at Mizzou is the highschool kids takin out mom and dads BMWs and thinking they are invincible

 

loudxb do u drive around st peters area? i might come by for the dyno day on the 24th.

 

Oooh, dyno runs... always wanted to do one of those; how much? Ya sure, I'll hang, too. =D

 

No i don't get around St. Pete much.... unless i get lost on the way to the casino haha.

Dyno runs are $25 for three pulls. There will be food and drinks also. Feel free to bring some food and drink yourself. Its gonna be a good time!

 

lol i was goin to say maybe uve seen me around town i work about 5 min from adrenalin. iam up there offen mostly for tires which i hope i get that all worked out lmao.

 

Had a great time! Good to meet you maskedferret! I went from 169.57hp/121.81torque to 187.64hp/131.34torque. Only took a few bolt on's . 200hp N/A or bust!

 

Likewise! I hope to go to a car show outing one of these days; I'll keep tabs on the stlscion forum for updates. Here is my dyno graph:



I'd say my last run was probably the most accurate. I'm going to change out spark plugs, wires, and coils to see if that might help at all.

 

hey guys i saw this pic in another thread, and was trying to figure out where i can but it but cant find anywhere. i am interested in the custom looking rear rotary accent in the pic below, if anyone has any info or knows someone in the stl area that may be able to do something custom like this let me know.

 

Hey perks....that looks like it is part of the body kit that the person has. Just my guess.

 

well i found out that it was a rotary accent that comes with the authentic kit. guess i will have to try and find someone local to do something custom so if anyone knows anyone that may be able to pull this off let me know. also is there anything planned for next weekend, ill be back in the stl for the weekend and need my car fix. so i hope it doesnt snow!

 

I know I'm busy on the 7th with the fiance doing cake tasting.....ahh the fun of wedding planning.

 

Hey, I'm a new RX8 owner here in the STL area, and I have a CEL on that Autozone, Advanced Auto, and O'Riellys all say is a P2009 code. Which in the Mazda world for our car is a bogus code. I guess there readers can't read our code? So I was wondering if anyone in the area had a reader for our car and woudln't mind hooking it up to my car real quick, I don't feel like dropping 70 bucks to a dealer for this.

I'd really appreciate as I'm gettin really frustrated with this thing, but love it at the same time and just want it fixed.

Thanks

 

Welcome, joe! I just posted in one of your threads asking about the code. I have an OBD scanner (Hymee sCANalyzer), and it SHOULD be able to pull codes. I just gotta get it plugged into my car to make sure it still works (it's been collecting dust under my seat).

 

hey phil theres nothing wrong with tasting some cake. everyone loves some cake

 

The cake is a lie.

 

I have a scanner as well that can read or clear codes. My 8 throws a CEL every once in a while due to the CAI I think but it could be the coils as well. Just waiting on my BHR ignition!

 

This morning at approximately 8:15am on Interstate 70 passing UMSL campus, my car turned 100,000 miles. No more warranty to hold me back on mods. Supercharger, here I come!!! lol

BTW Ferret, if I was lying, I would come up with something better than cake tasting. lol

 

100k on a rotary??? holy hell!

 

Yep....100k on the RX-8. Also, Saturday I installed my straight pipe from Racing Beat, no more Cat for me.

 

I would love to do something with no cat, but emissions suck...

and im broke lol...

but anyways, anyone in the STL area good at detailing wanna help me with my first detail this spring? ive never really dont a GREAT detail and would like to be shown the correct way all the way through...

and just a heads up, i bought my 8 used with about 80k on the odometer... so there are imperfections in the paint (little rock chips, previous owner did something to rear bumper, i might be able to fix that though)...

i know detailing is a time consuming thing, and probably really simple... i just wanna see it done right so i can do it myself for the summer.

 

So what is everyone doin for Mardi Gras? you think i could drive my 8 through Soulard or the Landing and just have girls pose with it? ha ha i kid i kid

 

tell me about it this weather sucks it needs to be spring already.
