Incoming new motor. 390 front rotor 590 rear rotor. Waiting on approval.

While I waited they moved the Dempsey rx8 into a transporter.

random thought of the day: I'm never coming to visit you guys in Oregon.
Not after seeing this ****.






although, to be honest: that is one of the most badass costumes I've ever seen and I couldn't stop wondering how much fun I'd have terrorizing the kids near my house if I had that.

what does "390 front rotor 590 rear rotor." mean?

They had to push it right? That would have been cool to see.

I did see three of the transports come screaming onto the freeway Sunday night. They drove like they were racing!

Nothing fancy on the trailers, just SUVs and Chevys

The pressure on each rotor face. None of the techs knew the exact number which mazda deems "low compression". So after I spent most of my morning down in Seattle hanging out checking out the Dempsy 41 RX8, having my friend drop me off my new exhaust and not getting Dick's cause I didnt have cash Taco time it was...I have to go back to the U Mazda because they need to run another test and get more information. Another night of no sleep.

The Dempsy car did not have a motor in it due to it being rebuilt. It was still cool to crawl in, out and under the car inspecting their setup. Few ideas popped into my head but the 8 gets no more attention.

Just read a Mazda Manual online and the minimum is 680 kPa @ 250 RPMS you adjust the number according to the RPMs. Standard is 830 kPa. I'm assuming the numbers you gave are kPa. Also it said the difference in the chambers should be within 150 kPa, but you're below minimum so that shouldn't matter.

Correct. I couldnt read the photocopy I got. Still waiting on my answer if I get a motor. Hopefully yes and its done before the toy run. Along with painting my bumper and skirts.

So what are everyone's winter projects?

I finished mine early
however I would like to add a few little elements, turbo blanket, super clean stero install that incorporates a hidden battery, that's all I got off the top of my head.
