Just went to go pick the 8 up. Everything seems to be running well. There's a noticeable improvement in shifting now with the Royal Purple fluid. The biggest improvement is the 1-2 shift (which has always been somewhat notchy), but everything is just silkier now.

 

AND make sure the car is leveled when refilling.

 

Royal Blue??? LOL, I know what you meant. It gets even better in the summer.

 

does jegs sell rp? next oil change will be my last with conventional oil

 

Not sure about Jegs but Pep Boys does

 

Jegs does have RP. That's where I get all of my fluids. I've never been able to find the right viscocity RP at a Pep Boys.

 

The Pep Boys on Hamilton has 5W20 RP oil. I think they even had a case of 12 on sale

 

I may try that one sometime. I've tried W. Broad, and Morse location, and they don't seem to carry 5W20. I always end up at the JEGs by campus. I should just get a barrel.

 

the summer tires are on and i played my first round of golf today. i even played well

 

32° and slush on the roads in Marysville this morning. The winters will come off 3/31. Any snow after that will be a snow day for me!

 

Ooooh. That's a formula for trouble!

 

De-construction of the app. pack. started last week.

The only thing left are the side aero flares which are a major pain!

 

Anthony - We need to get your aero flares off. Let me know when you want to do it.

 

why are you taking them off?

 

B-,

New body kit my friend.

Ra,

Anytime you are available is good for me.

I found out that I didn't need to take the front bumper off to fit the front lip. I'm very frustrated about that. Now I need to put everything back on and somehow get the front air dam re-attached.

My only question is, What would you attach the new front lip to if you didn't have the app. pack.?

 

Anthony, I just wanted to thank you for recommending TruePerformance. So far they've done a flawless job on the major hail damage from October and then a bullet hole in the roof from New Years! No one would ever be able to tell that any damage ever happened. Just wanted to let you know.

 

hey, whats up everybody. I got my RX-8 last November from Byers. It was used and didn't come with a keyless entry remote. I was wondering if anybody knew the best place around Columbus to get one, and how much it would be. Thanks!

 

welcome! id check the buy/sell/trade forum, but if you want to buy it locally your best bet is probably a dealership

 

Thanks. I just checked with the dealer, and they said it would be around $120 total. I think I'll just unlock the car manually instead. I can think of a lot more to do with $120 than buy a keyless entry.

$43.95

 

good find. and i find it funny that they list each year considering its the exact same remote (for all the mazdas for that matter)

 

Hey peeps. My name is Anthony and I just got my Rx8 from Byers right before this past winter. Just wanted to stop in and say hey to some people in the area. lol God knows I will have some questions at some point in time lol

 

Welcome Anthony. As the weather now seems to be improving, I think we are ready for another of our informal get-togethers. Who's in? Where & when?

 

haha, i was actually just craving some city bbq and coming here to post the same thing!

welcome anthony, what are the stats on your 8?

 

I'm in. I haven't my 8 too long, so it will be cool to talk to some other owners.
