Hey does anyone have a INT-X dongle? I have an appointment with PFS tomorrow and might need one

 

Nevermind I called PFS and they have it. So unless someone has one laying around the want to part with

 

Ive done a couple laminex headlights and have heard that the taillights are particularly difficult because of the main bulge of the lights it takes alot of finessing...

 

Well then it should be interesting.

I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes... either with pictures of my awesome tail lights... or with me ranting and bitching and offering someone money to do it for me

 

And what the hell? Is rx8club the new myspace?

 

it's damn awful, i hate it

 

From reading the installation PDF, your best bet would be a R/C modeler experienced with Monokote products and huge film decal sets. The install looks like a cross between the two products. And no, I'm not volunteering, the last time I touched Monokote was around the years some jackass named Carter was in the White House.

In all fairness, it looks simple enough, just don't get carried away with the hair dryer when heating the film.

Ya think this will end up as MyGarage or something?

 

Hey all, just wanted to drop a line and tell ya that I picked up my 2006 Shinka GT today. Awesome! Thanks for all the help!

 

Cool Apollo where are located???

 

Landover, MD.

If you google "Fedex Field" look slightly to the South. you'll see a sandy construction area adjacent to the metro station.

My apartment complex now stands there.







Please don't stalk me.

 

I need the help of captain obvious here, cause I'm missing something. I am a bit dense when it comes to internet forums though. Why is RX8club like myspace? is it the "mygarage" thing?

 

There are several 8s on here near you...

Because of all the stupid social tools thier adding, more social = less information

 

hey Tim eat your heart out, yup signed the Start/Finish line at Daytona...

 

[grumble] The thanks I get for keeping the intarweb running on the 'Shore... [/grumble]

Note to self: Not getting younger, customers don't give a rat's *** about you, company gives you vacation time for a reason. Must. Use. Vacation.

Wonder if Wankelbolt is running in this? https://secure.drivenasa.com/event/829 I gotta see if this appeals, or if I'm just chasing another mirage.

 

Do you have your NASA liscence? I dont yet I plan on getting it soon though,,,

ohhh and here are some pics, vids still to come... https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/rolex-gran-am-daytona24-pics-vids-165559/

 

Neat stuff, have to look later when I have time.

I've been debating which organization to go with, either SCCA or NASA, and every time I say something about NASA the racers start laughing and tell me SCCA is the only way to go.

I'm a contrarian by nature. I use AMD processors in everything I spec, my "daily driver" is a Dodge Grand Caravan because I like a pickup with a permanent cap , and I'll probably go with NASA for the exact same reason.

Time Trials, autocross and Hyperdrives are most likely as far as I'll ever go, and as far as I can tell, if you stick to the "stock" category, the -8 competes cross-organization without a fuss. Aside from cost, I can't think of why I couldn't belong to both NASA and SCCA in the future.

 

Are there any local meets/club stuff that goes on? Just lookin to get out and drive my new baby!

 

not til the warmer weather...

 

Therein lies how crazy we drivers can be. There is an event, in three weeks time, but to be honest it isn't your local club autocross.

HPDE at VIR, the Full Course, in mid February. "Sure", you might say, "but the car has heat". You'd better have it on full, because if you're running HPDE 1 like I'd be doing, you're running with the windows full down at speeds approaching 130 mph. You have to be able to signal with your arm out the window, and since I'll have an instructor along, so must he/she.

Totally fsckin' mental to even think about it. The tab alone is well over $650, including the required SA2005-rated full-face helmet that I haven't got.

The tab is still open in the browser for the event, there is enough participation already that there is a waiting list for instructors, and this is also a Time Trials event. There is a Hyperdrive.

I must be bughouse insane, but I'd be in like company.

 

So for all your witty banter, are you going???
I'll see, Ive got a gremlin to chase in my SC and if its not major its only a $10 pulley bearing, but if the noise is coming from inside the blower, Moon is going to have to come up and inspect... talk about customer service....

got a link?

 

Ask and ye shall receive: http://www.nasaracing.net/VIR_Feb_09/event.htm

As for the "go", I didn't know of this one until Wednesday this week. Thought the first one was months off, at VIR, during the runup to the Grand-Am races. The -8 needs some brake work, and I have nowhere decent to work on it at the moment.

 

I dont know about cheap, but there is a company near me called D&L and they do some quality work. They warranty the tint against getting messed up or turning purple. They also offer an additional warranty if your tint is over the legal limit: they will replace your illegal tint with legal for only $60. I have never had any of these problems, but i guess thats a good thing. Anyways theres one on route 40 in white marsh and one on joppa road in parkville. I would not get my tint done by anyone else. I got the 3M tint on my last car and the only crappy part is you can't put your windows down for like 5 days or something.. do it when its cold outside!

And as a separate question... what is the legal limit for tint in MD? I though it was 40%; i had 35% on my last car and had zero problems.

EDIT: nvm, i guess the first time i googled it i must have typed something in wrong. Found it
