Greddy turbo kit, tuned on Cobb accessport Mazdamaniac maps, borla exhaust, 19" volk racing sf winnings, yokohama advan tires

 

my 350z i traded for the rx8..i have a 8 month old baby girl..so i needed more of a family car =]

 

Clean car, any numbers on the setup at the wheels.

Im always available for any meets, unfortunately my 8 is not ready yet.

 

when i got the car...guy didnt tune it or had a bov on the set up...so i added a bov and the tune..so hopefully i can get this on a dyno soo and get some numbers..or even a couple runs at the 1/4 mile

 

BOV should be recirculating only FYI.

 

yes its recirculating

 

when i first got it..it was slow as ballz...was backfiring like crazy and alot of lag..

 

Would be interested to see numbers, should schedule a dyno session soon.

 

i will...and keep you posted..

 

Wow true very nice interested as in how you bought your turbo? :D

 

Sounds like he bought the car w/ the kit already on it.

 

yes i bought the car with the turbo kit...but the last owner didnt have it tuned or had a bov on it..ran it just like that..

okie thanks..

 

power steering is fixed...all i did was cleaned the connectors..

 

Common problem. Glad you got it worked out.

 

I was worried and so was otheres lol...people were telling me "I told you so..car is unreliable"..people been telling me the rx8 is nothing but trouble. But I'm trying to prove them wrong.

 

Well you won't prove them wrong, but people are afraid of what they don't understand and their is no other car I would rather have. Even with the problems the experience is better than anything else.

 

I have 80k miles...any maintaince i need to do soon?
how often plugs, wires, coils changed?

 

Well I am meticulous in my maintenance, but heres my schedule.

Oil Change: 2000 or less
Coolant Flush: Yearly about 10K
Plugs: Yearly
Coils & Wires: 2 years but no more than 30K
Trans & Diff Fluid: Yearly
Brake Fluid Flush: Yearly
Brake Pads: Yearly but no more than 12K
Brake Rotors: 2 years but no more than 30K
Belts: 2 years

During winter storage I do a thorough inspection of the entire vehicle inside and out.

 

ok..ima do plugs coils and wires then...reconmend any brand or type?

 

thanks by the way for helping me..most forums people are jerks and be like GOOGLE..lol..
i do google..but its nice to actually confirm stuff with someone live.

 

I'd recommend BHR.

 

ok..are there any local meets around here?
