and go WOT

 

Well in the morning when its cold I try to keep it under 3k RPM :P But I will take a look at the cat for sure.

 

I would do the compression test....and if you are on OEM original coils, wires and plugs I would start there.

Royal Purple gear oil is a known problem in this transmission. For whatever reason it seems to make the syncro's grind...so I would swap it out for Redline or another synthetic like Motul and see if your gear noise goes away. Personally I would swap it out of the diff as well...but that is just me

Let me know if you want to try and figure something out for the test...maybe we could talk Dondo into using his shop sometime in the next while. I'm down for a track day on the 23rd of November unless it snows or is raining cats and dogs

 

where is DONDO?

 

Kinda reminds me of the "Where's Waldo" game my kids used to play

Think he travels a lot for work

 

He was in university district last night. Tried to get him out for a beer while I drove Leon home. Got to see his fd that sits too :p

 

Where in the world is Dondo San Diego

 

Lol....

 

I was just wondering because I bumped his threads

 

Wayne has it in Oly testing an FD. He should be done by now

I'll be through Oly in route to SEA 11/16

 

Alright well let me know what is possible, I'm in Seattle every day pretty much. I'll start with looking at the exhaust and getting new plugs and wires.

 

It's beer thirty!

 

Hey guys my daily driver hyundai scoop turbo 93 has been giving me starting and stumbling issues again. I bought the car 8 years ago and it it had a 110000 miles, and I did the normal tune-ups (spark plugs, oil filter, oil change, etc) a couple moths later it started stumbling, so I changed the spark plug wired the rotor and the rotor cap and it fixed the problem. The car does consume oil. Right now it's doing about 1 quart a month, even tho I don't drive that far since I live close to work, about 1 mile. One year later, it start to do it again, so I change the spark plug again. Did not use the car for almost one year, but I did start the car and go to the store to keep the battery in good condition, last year I started to use the car as my daily driver and in the summer I had to change the spark plugs again because it started stumbling again, last week the car was giving me a hard time starting I did find that one of the spark plug wires was corroded with white powder also the distributor cap was corroded. So since its been 8 years and I have a 120000 miles now I went ahead and changed the wires, the rotor cap and rotor again and it seems to be running fine. Yesterday the car was stumbling again so I went ahead and changed the spark plugs again and the car is running perfect again, now the coil is still the factory one. My question is do you guys think that a weak coil is ruining my spark plugs or that the oil burning is making my spark plug go bad!

I figure I am going to change the coil next since it is cheap only $60, but I am curies to know why I am going try so many spark plugs so quickly?

So any feedback will be nice for a learning experience

 

I sent Wayne a text, have not heard back yet, but will let you know.

 

hola bitcholas

 

I'm still at work! Finally going home though...

 

Anyone remember this?

Ive been trying to pick through what FD stuff im going to end up selling. I need to get rid of my OEM RX8 leather seats (Front/Rear). They are taking up a lot of space in my closet. Selling them in the for sale section might be aids due to shipping both heavy seats.
