I'm looking to sell mine and I know my neighbor is selling his, but mine is higher in the mileage range now. My neighbors is mint and has all the goodies with only 27K on it. He put it on here somewhere in the for sale section.

 

I found my new best friend!
Bought an exhaust hanger removal tool from Amazon.
Was impressed how easy it was to get the grommet off the hanger, and I didn't have to lube the ****/hanger either!
Highly recommend it.

 

Anybody else comin? Brian, Meg? Just want to confirm we're still on.

 

Depending what time I get off work I am going to try to make it up to join you guys.

 

I don't think Brian or Megan come on here anymore.
You'll probably have to message them through email/text.

 

So I live in Cleveland and registered to this site in hopes of finding the dude in the maroonish red RX8 near Hopkins airport that I just ran with on the freeway... one of the sickest rx8's ive ever seen. Post up if it was you. I ride a blue zx6r. Cheers!

 

if I had to guess it was a motor swap, big turbo/supercharger or nitrous. still baffled how well you were able to keep up with the bike.

 

I am a new rx8 owner from Cleveland in NC due to the military but im moving back at the end of this year and I visit often plan on keeping her still has a lot of work to do she is almost bone stock

 

I modded my riding lawn mower today... Upgraded pulleys on the cutting deck to Timken bearings instead of Chinese stuff.

I sort of hate myself.

 

You should have upgraded the engine to a wankel... Just saying.

 

I have a 2004 red Rx8 with black rims and i live near Ellet, id love to cruse around with you guys!

 

Mogadore Alum ('91) here but went to Hyre for Jr. live in massillon now. Nice to see people closer to here.

Wheels!!!! not rims... wheels!

 

My bad my bad. Well I graduated from field haha. I am only 20 years old. But I assure you I treat the 8 like its ment to be ( no under glow or street racing crap) I also have a 79 silver Rx-7 I'm rebuilding. :D I'd love to cruse with you guys!

 

Is there a local club in Cleveland ? If so , whoever runs it email me at bcdjudo7@gmail.com , would like to join / meet up with you guys. Thanks,

Bryan

 

Hi Bryan.

Welcome to the gang.

We're not as active as we used to be, but we're here if you need any help with anything. I live in Broadview Hts. and have two 8s if you ever want to stop by.

Doc

 

Seriously? I didn't know you lived there. I live there too since a month. Message me if you want to hang out sometime

 

Yesterday was a good day for a compression test on my '04

Needless to say... a little on the low side, but she still drives well for now.

 

Jon, what do you charge to do the comp test?

 

One million dollars
Never really thought about it honestly.

 

I just know getting the tester wasnt cheap. If i can have you do it and both: pay less than @ a dealer and help you recoup some of the cost by using your tester, i'd rather do that.

 

I need to pay more attention to this thread. I'd certainly like to meet up with the other local owners now that I've got a few months and nearing 10k miles on my RX8.

 

Time to burn it...


I wanted to drop in here and share the good news.

I recently got a new job at Ken-Tool in Akron. They're a forging shop that historically make tire irons and 4-way lug wrenches and tools similar to that. They've been riding this product line for 60 years now so they're an establish company.

Who cares, right?

They hired me into a product development position. They're ready to expand from more commercial truck tires to passenger cars in any market where I find a niche problem that a premium tool manufacturer could make a tool for (think snap-on / matco, etc)

So, as you're fumbling around your cars, keep this in mind. You don't have to have a solution to the problem, just a "Hey, you know whats really annoying??"

I've turned R&D loose on trying to develop a release socket that will only torque to a certain threshold so guys with impact guns stop over-torquing lug nuts. (Josh, even though you just had a 20ft pipe)


Also, on a semi related topic, has anyone ever experience corrosion on the valve stems of their TPMS sensors?

 

Ok everyone, I sold the 8 and got a fast little BMW so I am selling all of my bolt ons if anyone is interested before I list them for all of the animals not in our area. Listed below is what I have.
Turbo XS header back exhaust
AFE short shifter
Race roots synchro saver
