bear mtn is this weekend

 

hah yeah i meant give. but, you want busted lights? they really are no good. they actually filled with water and shorted out so the plugs are bad.

 

you're kidding me

 

no its the 12th

 

alright... we'll carry on in the bear mtn thread, so i don't waste the starbucks space. haha

 

Won't be attending tomorrow night. Hitting up times square tomorrow evening with a bunch of friends from school.

 

there is always next tuesday

 

So you guys just gonna get starbucks and just chillax?

 

CHRIS you were right 3rd gear took a **** from a grind into 2nd..... Now my half *** 8 is out of commision.

To everyone with a new or used 8, any mileage, take that clutch pedal off and put on a Re inforced one by BHR or have a local welder weld the **** out of it. It will go! and it will cost you more money in the long run!

 

i gotta cheaper solution: don't grind your gears? and don't do clutch dumps... or don't shift at 9k rpm if you aren't good at pedaling.

cheers.

 

Theres no need to get into this... i dont do clutch dumps and the gear grinding into second is a reccouring problem with the 8.

Take it as you wish but it was nothing other than a fair warning to other rx8owners.

 

most wont understand till it happens.....i knew the warning signs...been there, done that....hope it gets fixed for ya

 

stock trans and clutch for me hitting 50k and no signs of trouble.lucky maybe
skilled you know it

 

i'm over 52k. clutch feels beautifully broken in--still firm and responsive. feels normal when i shift in and out of second, even at higher revs... even when i bounce the devil and pedal the little bia (ie snap shifts for speeeeeeed). what is this grinding i am hearing about?

 

Gotta do something tonight so I may not make it or show up late.

 

BE THERE. NO EXCUSES.

 

im going out in a few......washed the car for tonight

 

on my way but leaving the pup at home
it looks like it will be cold tonight. damn I waited till last minute to make these copies and stuck here waiting for burner.

 

Well i was late and i was lost so i just said forget it and got some food and filled up on some low priced gas and went home lol

 

Endowdly,
look into transmission failure threads, theres quite a few of them. Many 8 owners wont feel the normal clutch problems such as slipping or improper engagment.
The gear grinding is very common from gears 2 and 3.


Back to the thread, good meet even though it was cold.

Chris your miata does have a nice rotorary buzz to it under load, i think all of Rt 17heard it.

 

yeah its a bit angry.....didnt start popping till it warmed up when i was in town already....

 

sorry didnt make it out....was exhausted from work and stayed in to watch the debate!!!!

 

chris car is still so AWWWW
like a small smurf !!! LoL


spotted a blue 8 with wheels on rt 17 when I left meet.

BTW you FOckerS were right my fogs are on the bumper in shop. just got back from kenny's and picked them up now just putting them on for sat dealer wish me Luck!!!
