I have a stock mid pipe and intake if anyone is interested.
also me and my buddy might be putting together a little drive in the Columbia area if anyone is interested. It would be nice to have another 8 there.

 

When are you thinking about doing this?? I have military obligations this weekend but I'm interested in going to one some time soon. Let me know

-Ryan

 

It'll probably be around the 19th.

 

Caught word of a car meet at Bruster's in Gaithersburg tonight at 8. I'd love to see some other rotaries out there. I'll be the titanium gray '04 parked in the midst of a bunch of Terminators and GT500s (I work at a Ford dealer). Leaving the Urbana park and ride @ 7:20pm if people can deal with some SVT harassment.

Who's going to this? Mid winter meet 2 | Facebook

 

This is kinda urgent.. Does anyone have a set of Stockies (Series I or II) with tires for sale? Call or txt me @ 240-821-4139 Thanks! -Ben.

 

Maybe. They need to be pretty or just keep the car off the pavement?
I'll have to see what I've got when I get home tonight.

 

Thanks! They don't need to be pretty. just need them ASAP to roll the car around in the shop.. Thanks!

 

Sorry, no joy. Don't have the set I thought I had.

 

thanks for looking

 

Hey Ben, I've got my summer set you can borrow for the time being, I'd just need them back when the weather gets nice again.

 

Thanks Nathan! But I need to purchase a set as I am swapping it out for the Volks on my wreck R3. Gotta put something back on there as it is totaled. If push comes to shove, I will swap out my mint GT wheels for the Volks.

 

Another request.. Anyone has a set of OEM front seats they want to get rid of?

 

Well fellas my car is producing more symptoms that just the cat, in fact the cat itself may have been a symptom all along.

Checking the oil now it is full of yellowish foam
The engine hesitates and surges under full throttle, most notably at 7500 rpm or so.
The is a large amount of oil in the intake starting just behind the filter element

So far I've cleaned the intake manifold, tested the various pneumatic intake valves (not the electric one yet) and it's currently sitting with 8oz of seafoam in the runners soaking in.

I'm going to check for vacuum leaks today and replace the cat tomorrow, I'm just hesitant with the cat because like i said it may be a symptom and I'll just clog up another one.

 

For anyone who want's a MINT black leather GT seats as a swap for you black leather seats let me know. For a small fee, we can make it happen this weekend or early next week. Swapping and parting my wrecked RX8. PM or call me. My info just is a couple of posts before this.

 

The new catalytic converter is in and the car feels AWESOME! It feels stronger than the day i bought it! Thanks Ben!!

Ben I've got the cloth seats in my car, would you be willing to do a full front/rear leather/cloth swap? The leather seats are heated right? I think they can just plug right into the harness under my seat then it's just a matter of getting switches.

Let me know if that's something you're open to.

 

Glad to hear the new cat worked out well for you. I don't know if cloth seats will cut it as I am for leather seats to go back into the vehicle.

 

hey guys ... there is a go-kart meet on the 27th in Wilmington, DE if you guys are close to the border

 

The new diff is in, in case anyone is considering it, it is a way bigger pain in the butt to replace than i anticipated. The car feels WAY more torquey, It's raining tonight and I was having a hard time maintaining traction in first and second, it's going to take some getting used to. Highway revs are higher, 4k in 6th used to be 80 mph, now it's 74. I imagine fuel consumption will be worse, but this ratio should help with autocross this year. Ben I'll have the 4.44 down there to you in the morning, hopefully the weather is kind. I had some problems with my car with a thin veil of rust on everything, but yours was super clean, it should go together in no time.

 

Been a while since i've been on this thread how's it going people? quick update ordered BHR ignition system today should be in in a few weeks don't know why it takes so long but as long as it gets here i'm happy

 

Damn Ben I just remembered my cover that slides over the cupholders has a broken tab on it! I could have swapped that sucker out! :P

 

Hey any of you guys know a Tuning shop in or near MD that has done tuning on a rotary and I can trust.

 

BHR Ignition came in today and I will be installing at the shop tomorrow #win

 

bump for the tune shop question. i would like to know also if anyone knows of a trusting reliable place around here for rotaries

and let us know how you like your ignition kit after you get it on, I've been thinkin about gettin one too

 

ive heard that JE performance has dabbled with a few rotaries and i know they have an FD and a FC imma check them out.

and as soon as i bolt it in ill post before and after vid
