Please note how he avoided the who's gf/wife is hotter comments hehe.

Hey if not for us Auto Owners there might not be a 8 around to buy someone has to keep the bottom line filled.

Sides I dont need to push a stick up and down all day long to prove my manhood. I dunno something about handling a stick all day long just well seems kinda.. well yeah.. questionable to me

Either today or tomorrow switching out the RB intake back to stock and then most likely bringing the car into the dealer for my problems. Found out that if I keep the revs up around the 4-6k range for a period of time it brings about the rattling so pretty much if I gun it and keep the speed up the sound comes around and stays for that drive period. That and I'm doing it 'cause even my gf commented last night "Your baby sounds a bit different tonight anything wrong?" so yeah its noticable to those who dont know cars that much.

Hey Time! It would be great to see you at the Dyno meet! Hope you have better luck with your rims. They look great, but personally I wouldn't want to go through the trouble with all the potholes and bumps around here. It's all personal preference though. Good luck with them.

Taking my car in tomorrow. Today was just to much so I switched it back to stock and yeah the problem became even worse in terms of sound. Engine sounded like it was gonna die in my friends driveway so much so even he commented on it.

There was a high pitched whine accompanied by violent shaking. Also sounded like it was gasping for air every so often. Oh and cant forget the metal flakes in a blender noise while accelerating. Again I got fed up and brought it in since I realized that the bodykit will be arriving soon that and the meet so I'd rather get it fixed now rather than later. Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated since I'll forward them to the dealer since well they've proven themselves to be morons.

I believe this time around Ima ask that their actual rotary tech or atleast their Master Tech look at my car not a hourly dumbshyt like last time. Oh and of course while driving home from the gf's house the car wasnt making the noise at all grr..

Just got back might make another thread on this as to not totaly hi-jack this thread lol.

They looked into my noise but only investigated into the high pitched whine I hear at idle. They shown me a TSB MTOL-4471 Whine or Squeal Noise from Engine at Idle. Pretty much its um "Common characteristic of the Renesis." I'm sorry my friend heard that whine from about 15-20ft away yesterday afternoon and my engine again was shaking like a **** with withdrawl symptons. That and they pointed out that I'm missing a nut to my lower ball joint and that the car is unsafe to drive right now (mind you the accident was a month ago as of this date). Also that my rear sway bar has been rubbing and hitting the unabody, I seen the rub marks and yeah its kinda getting bad. Mind you I've brought the car in numerous times before for service for both oil changes and other things since last Feb when we did the install meet so I believe its recent especialy the nut being missing. So now I'm scrambling to get all my info lined up so get the car ready UGH. Ok I'm shutting up for now i'm kinda aggrivated since they ignored the metal flakes in a grinder noise all together. Oh and didnt even look at the coils UGH

The kit wont be in my possesion till atleast Oct 2nd give or take. And I'm not sure if my bodyshop can strech out the work from tomorrow till then. So I'm in a odd situation right now. I know the people who will be working on the car but I'm unsure if they could stretch the work out that long. I could be wrong since this is my first outing with getting a car repaired and all that bs.

I'll be telling the mechanic if they take my car about my problems and how all have been happening since after the accident. That and I'll be stressing "Its a Rotary Engine, if you get a bit lost dont be afraid to call me up!!!". last thing I need is some complete moron hacking up my engine.

Man all I want is my kit put on along with the wing for it to look dead sexay

dont forget after you put the kit on to make sure you put the blue painters tape on the nose so you dont get rock chips all over it on the way down

Best Quote Eva about me

Going to be taking it to see the Autobody guy tomorrow and he says he'll have his mechanic friend with him or bring him over when I get there. I'm assuming the accident must of loosened the nut and somewhere down the line I lost it on the road (most likely on the highway). I'll be pointing out the coils and the metal grinding noise, I'll also make up some garbage about lack of power at times or hesitation and its recommened to get a compression test done. Hey I'll play on ignorance since this guy will most likely have no experince with a Rotary Engine. Mind you I'll be telling this guy to contact me with any questions and if all else I' might see about having it brought up to Synaptic 3 engineering to be worked on if I'm that damn lucky (I know I'm not but damnit I'll try!).

Oh and Chris trust me I might look into that 3M clear bra stuff. Gotta luv having a inside man in the bodyshop who is willing to work with ya.
