I greatly appreciate this thread. I am a new (to me) RX-8 owner, and have since been following these steps. Mad props to this forum .

 

Thank the gods for this forum. Now I'm not a complete idiot.

ive been looking through rx8club for a while for information. so as my first post i would like to say that this is a great and really helpful post ... ive been encountering some car problems and now theyre all good because of this thread. thanks a lot

 

Glad it helped. If you could, would you share the issues?

Thanks,

 

This is awesome, going to try some of this soon

 

Thank you for this post, i read everything and i will be doing all of this over the weekend. Awesome!!

 

Nice thread. More people should read stuff like this before getting themselves into trouble. I believe it keeps kids off of the streets and away from drugs.

 

Um,

Nice Moderator People.

I just realized, after looking at DIY stuff, that I was a complete idiot and started this in the Tech Garage and not in DIY. That would explain why people I told to search the DIY section did not find it.

What are the ramifications of moving it? Does the thread ID stay the same?

Thanks,

 

I can easily change the title as needed. Does it belong more in DIY or in FAQ / Discussion though? I can see an argument either way, just looking for your thoughts/preferences.

The thread link itself should still point to it at it's new location. When a thread is in Live that is then moved after it appears there, clicking the link still finds the thread in the new subforum.

 

This fits more here than as a DIY. I'm not moving it.

 

Bumping this thread, seeing a few new owners who needs proper introduction.

 

I wouldnt use brake cleaner, its a bit too strong to use on sensitive equipment like a MAF sensor. You can go to any auto parts store and pick up some Mass air flow sensor cleaner. Which you could also use to clean out your EGR valve and most other sensitive components

 

I really appreciate this thread! As a new owner of a used RX-8, I plan to do just about all of these modifications within the next couple weeks to ensure that my rex will last a while! Thanks!

 

Thanks Andrew, where in central FLORIDA?

 

I'm in the Daytona Beach area.. Port Orange to be specific!

 

Cool,

Oviedo, just north of UCF.

Sounds like you will be ready for track time in a few months, interested?????

 

I sure am! I generally attend autocross events at CFRC in Orlando. I'm sure you're familiar with that place! I haven't been in a couple months though! Need to get back there.

Where do you track your car?

 

Track is Roebling Road, outside Savannah. 4 hours from me, probably 3 from where you are. I do track weekends. Gonna be a lot of 8's up there in May for the Dark Side event. Hint, Hint.

send me an email or pm for more information.

 

lol my 8 has been in an accident involving the front bumper before...as a result the left side panel is completely missing

 

a giant thank you from miami here.... especially for the A/C improvement mods.....

very well written and organized....


thanks..

 

@ Paco,

Glad it helped.

Thanks for the words.

 

RIWWP needs a gold medal, cookie and a paypal donate button; his threads are perfect and so damn informative.

My pristine 05 RSX-S got totaled last week (t-boned by some *** in a rental, I was original owner...i cried) and I am literally torn apart between getting a basic econo cruiser (accord) for the time being or just getting a R3, which I want more than anything.
