wasn't me! the car has been getting worked on in an effort to get to 300 whp. however, there's been many a Greddy turbo breaking down, judging from the posts on the forum. not good, even tho i've had no probs after the Interceptor-X EMS install. may go with another turbo system in the spring, if it's available.

for Shane, is your CEL pretty much always on? mine is. though i haven't received my notice yet, i'm wondering how to get around the emissions check. maybe i'll tow the car there...! lol.

dd sends...

 

My CEL is on most the time but here lately its been off ... So im not sure ... The other day i was messing around on 695 and i punched it ... and it poped quit a bit and wouldnt go any faster but now its been running real good so i dunno...

Shane

 

If yall in Baltimore how come i never saw yall??? I'm always on 695 going from 95N to 695 west.. I'm on 695 most of the time going back and forth to work..What part of town do yall usually meet up at? my car may not be turbo.. cuz i like N/A.. but my engine is gettin a lil make over sometime next week.. so i can keep up with yall.. :-D at least 2 car lengths behind..

 

Anyone know where/if I can get my hands on the Kenstyle exhaust short going to Japan? I'm not sure how keen I am on the front of their kit, but the rear is just plain sexy. I'm just not sure how nice it would look without the shiny quad exhaust. Seeing as how my rear bumper had some bad luck on new years, it looks like I'm on the market for a new one.

Also, do we have any plans on setting up a meet at any point?

Happy New Year, all.

 

anyone on this forum with a yellow RX8 and was in Severna Park (specifically shipleys choice) last night around 10pm?

you had the pedal to the floor and i was right on your *** in my white 7.... haha thought you could take me?

 

I saw a blue rx8 at K&G last night i left a note on the car not sure if you got here yet.. but if you are here welcome.. :-D

 

Just as an afterthought, I like the front. I rescind my previous statement

 

anyone on the market for a spare tire mounting kit (incl. an unused spare tire)?

 

i think the turbo'd rx-8 was blue but the one thing that really popped out to me was how big the intercooler was.

it was beautiful

 

Just wanted to let MD people around the Columbia/Ellicott City area know about a great windy road. It's called New Cut Road and it's amazing to drive down. It's not too windy and not too straight so you get a good mix of good corners with good straights to get up some speed. It's also got even pavement and a nice tree canopy (in spring and summer) to make it feel even more narrow and fun. To find it go 100N and get off exit 2 onto 104N. Turn left on 103W and make your second right onto New Cut Road. It'll take you right into Historic Ellicott City. It's slightly downhill in this direction so I recommend starting from 103.

If anyone hits up this road shoot me a PM.

 

smells like the po po howard county cops are bitches. you a cop? tryin' to get your months quota?? haha...just playing

 

Yeah man, Howard County cops are out of control. They are everywhere. The record number of people I've seen pulled over on my drive to work (~12 mile drive) is 8. That's just stupid. I saw 4 people pulled over (all separate instances) when I went to and from a grocery store that is 1 mile away. It's just not right.

I'm actually moving away, but I thought I'd pass on the info about New Cut Road. I hear it's getting more heavily trafficked because of a new development. As long as no one's in front of you, it's a blast.

 

I'm MDX bred...Bel AIr Md went to Loyola High School

 

HAHAH ... i go down new cut everngiht almost ... with my turbo 8 its way fun

 

ill be there today. the rx7 meet is in Columbia.

 

i'll be there as well

 

Who's got the Yellow RX-8 in Olney that's always parked up in front of the Blockbuster/Chicken Out strip mall? Also, someone has a Black 8 3 blocks away from me, it looks like it's maintained well so I figured they might be on here. It's located just off Buehler Road in Olney.

 

That would be me.

 

You forgot to mention one thing about New Cut Road...i've heard many people have died driving on that road but of course they weren't driving an 8 so just letting people know DRIVE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

 

I see you all the time, I live right there. I've got a turbo 626 Hatchback, champagney/silver color. I'm driving around all the time.

 

Hi guys. Have any of you done any mods to your cars? I'm just wondering because I've been thinking about it, but I wanted to see some of these in person to know which parts I want. Does anybody have the rp short shifter? And what kind of exhausts do you guys have?

 

where do you live hoss??

 

I just bought the RP Short Shifter yesterday. It will be my first mod and I will probably install it early next week when it comes in. I'd be curios to have someone else drive my car and tell me if crappy shifting I feel from 1st to 2nd is just me or is it my car (I'm pretty sure it's just me, cuz all the other shifts are fine). Btw, I have a white rx8 and commute up 270N to work from silver spring.

 

I'm live in Annapolis, MD, driving a silver rx8. For the next few months, I'm working near Bowie, but I usually work closer to BWI.

 

oh ok...i live near ft. meade and work in annapolis (tate bmw...off of bay dale dr.)
