I'm going to totally try and hijack this for a bit...

Where would you recommend I take my precious 8 to get her washed properly?

I have a car wash stall in my apt complex but the water is leaving this gross dirty blackness to it. Really don't appreciate it. Basically just looking for some detailing shops I guess.

I live in the Landover/Hyattsville area (Right outside Fedex Field) though I wouldn't be opposed to traveling a bit for quality.

Thanks!

It works great, and filters the water thats pumped through it...
Other than that I dont know know I dont trust anyone else to wash my cars...

I have the Mr Clean kit and can vouch for it also. Haven't used it in a while since I don't have the setup, but when I was using it it was working well.

Yeah, powdercoat would not work. I got JetHot e-series ceramic on my manifold and downpipe and when (or if) I ever get my 3071r, I will get the same to the hotside.

Swaincoat is another option.

While I cant quantify the benefits, the heat on my pass. side footwell has definitely decreased and I even removed all the asbestos tape. The other unquantifiable and potential benefit is better energy transfer to the turbo by keeping the heat in the manifold.

Overall, should be around $200.

I'll have to check out my apt's wash station and see if I could pull off the big gun attachment thingy they have.

If I can I'll pick up one of those Mr Clean kits tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

Yeah, I'm aware of all that. He has the tsunami bumper and it's a shinka. But, it sounded like Roxie saw it from a quick glance.

Lol... well, it wasn't me because I am rarely if ever out by Whitemarsh. I can understand why somebody thought it might be me though, not that many 8s in the area with big CF wings.

Welcome to Maryland.

Must be an RX-8 day; on the way home I past a Shinka coming out of the Lowe's/Sam's parking lot onto Beaver Dam road, and a BB sitting on Pleasantville waiting to turn left onto 152. Both drivers were completely oblivious despite having a bright red and loud 8 charging at them...

AWESOME.







Don't sweat me, you know you love it.

I pretty much can't stand my car anymore and I hope the bastard that fucked it up gets run over.

And I hope I'm the driver.

And for my third spot in less than two hours, I saw a Winning Blue at Tollgate and Bel Air road as I was heading up to Salvo.


BTW the engineer who decided where to put the oil filter and dipstick needs a swift kick in the crotch. >-( I just put in the Lebren dipstick light and it's a winner.

Lpr, that does suck, but it happens a lot. Not to much hassle to fix (though true better if it didn't happen at all). Get the revised gasket from Mazda for a few bucks and spend an hour with a wrench and a hair dryer and all is well.
