haha I'm getting there. The other night my wife kicked me off the couch around 9:30 PM because I was fast asleep

 

Liking this lip spoiler. Looks taller than the R-Magic. Ignore the ugly chrome wheels...

 

not bad.

 

It is definitely not R-Magic or the Evo-R replica...Grrr who makes it? Probably custom...

 

i like those too +1

 

got back home around 8:30 pm today driving my 1st rx8 from Seattle where I picked it up. I just can't believe the odometer reading: 18800 miles. 2004 GT Nordic Green. I will post pics tomorrow and I will take it to Corksport BBQ to get dyno'ed. Mazdamanica performance tuned already

 

Congrats on the new car. 18K is very low miles :-)

 

thanks. here are a few pictures I took today. 102 degrees here in Portland. I am staying inside hehe.

 

Yay congrats. That's my fav color (:

 

I just pre registered with dyno. But after hitting 'continue' nothing happens. Didn't ask me to pay for the dyno either. Anyone know if the registeration went through?

 

Think I read on FB all the dyno spots were full.

 

Again not to much going on. Been waiting on lots of goodies to come in the mail. These both came today but one will allow me to get some big progress started.

First off;

SIKKY shifter for T56 Magnum for a FD. I saw the blog on MotoIQ so I shot them off an email. Justin over at Sikky is a great guy. Communication was top notch and sent me out of fantastic product! Shame it will be covered up. Its glory will be showboated here in the thread at least.

My shift hole is virgin and the transmission is oh about 3 to 5 degree pointed up. Note; the brace is not installed and will be once I get the rear subframe back installed. Still waiting on a part to weld to the subframe from Samberg. Shifting into 1, 3, 6 not close to touching.





Verocious stuff came as well. We have 2 2.5 Vbands that have male/female machined into them. 4" flex pipe. 3 2.5 UJ bends to feed into the turbo and 1 3.5 UJ bend for downpipe. Tomorrow running to local steel shop pick up some turbo flange plate and solid bar for turbo brace. Fire up the plasma cutter/chop saw/welders and get my *** in gear.

 

lookin good man.

 

so much win

 

Things will be much more win in a few weeks. More juiced to actually get progress done.

 

Any 8 coming to beacon rock state park drive this Sunday? Organized by NWRP (north west rotary power). Lots of rx7 guys but I'm taking my rx8.

 

I'm a maybe which means not likely. The meet up time is 9 AM and I have to work until 9 AM. If meet up is at 9 and head out at 10 then I should good.

 

Anybody have a stock exhaust muffler? I need to swap my racing beat out for awhile while I do some work on it and need a temp muffler

 

i have two man.

 

awesome - i need to check when I will be up that way to slap some dead presidents in your hand. Have a connecting pipe also? I'm up that way for the King Tut exhibit next Tuesday, but with the folks, so might not be able to hook up. I'll let you know what I decide later this weekend.

 

I will be at the Ridge on the 25TH..could bring it out

 

that would be awesome. Hey, did you get a room at the casino in case the folks are still at my house? Or you playing by ear?

 

you can have it man. and get it anytime. and yeah they have the connecting pipe

 

Is anyone in Portland area who has experience swapping turbos for FDs? I would love to get some help swapping turbos. I ve never done it and am not allowed to work on cars on my apt complex.

Thanks

David

 

kinda quiet in here...
