Hell ya...don't think I've owed anyone a beer this long before :D
|
Sometimes it really sucks having the only 8 around the valley.
Have fun, and definitely let us know the results. |
Count me in, as well.
|
awesome :)
|
Can there be more than five cars? I'd really like to come, and might be able to.
|
Sure thing Jess :)
|
I let the members at Focaljet.com know about the dyno day incase there interested. ( I used to own a Focus). If anyone plans on attending Ill keep you updated to add them to the list.
|
One thing I wanted to mention, which may or may not be helpful.
I am told by people who should know that the S2000 continues to break in (and increase in power) for about 15,000 miles, so that it does not make a lot of sense to do a baseline dyno before 15,000 miles. As it happens, I just passed 15,000 miles, so it's a perfect time for me to do this with my S. I don't know if something similar applies to the RX-8, since it has a different kind of engine, but I wanted to flag the issue. Our RX-8 has only a little over 1,000 miles on it, so I will not be doing a dyno on it for a while, at least. |
I thought most engines ended up making more power as they broke in? Maybe ill search around the RX7 site for info on this later...
Im looking forward to seeing the s2000..sweeeet rides. |
Yea, I'm a fan of the S2K also. If I didn't need the back seat, I'd probably be driving one. I love my 8, but nothing beats a sweet/fast/handling convertible...eventually I may wind up in a M3 convertible :D.

Some Info:
I'm going to be using EXP4 Fuel/Oil additive for the dyno: Mr. Rossow, My name is Darin Pemberton, I found your product line through a link on a discussion forum. I drive a 2004 Mazda RX8 and am interested in trying your products in my car during a group dyno day I've organized on 26 February (The shop, http://www.carbconn.com/, hosting the event uses a Dynojet Dyno). Most of the information on your website talks about the benefits of the products on 'cylinders' and 'valves', etc. Can you provide specific/measured information or experience with the products (fuel and oil treatments) on Rotary engines? Is the procedure for adding the products the same (which I understand to be, for the fuel treatment, adding the product to a near-empty gas tank, filling up the tank, then driving around a few minutes)? If you don't have dyno results for Rotary-Powered cars, I'd love to send you the before and after dyno results, if you are interested. If this email was sent to the wrong person in the company, please forward - and accept my apology for using your time. I'm skeptical, honestly, about 'pour-in' HP, but researching your products gives me at least the desire to spend the money to find out :) Thank you very much for your time. I'd be happy to supply products for your dyno tests and have you share the results. Currently, one of your groups contacts, Robin Yang is going to be testing the product in San. Fran. We have a number of people driving the rotary engine have great success though I have been waiting for e-mail results. I am out of town this weekend and all next week so I would like to have your requests processed ASAP. Thanks, Mark I'm negotiating with CarbConn about prices to re-dyno, etc...typically, it's $75 per strap-down (onto the dyno). |

sorry!! will edit and add you! :D Would you like to try the fuel/oil addative in your S2K? :) I'm going to submit my request for the free product in a day or two; I for one will try it...I'm skeptical. :) |

Otherwise, I'll be quite happy just to see what my stock S2k will do with its normal diet. :) |
I might bring a Miata and a RX8 and possibly another Miata.
I will get back to the board.... FM |

Added one more name! :)

OK!
RX8 FORSURE(The Szigler8) Maybe my Miata too but I just dyno'd it. http://forum.miata.net/cgi-bin/ultim...=003961#000000 Side note: Mazdaspeed shocks are dimensionally identical to the stockers which is a plus for BS autoxer's. I am going to send them in for dyno testing and see if they are worth putting on the car. I also am going to have a straight pipe to try out on the 8 when we put it on the dyno. Might be a little loud.... Oh well.. CYA there. Do you need a deposit? FM(still got the TTRX too but sold the 99 Hayabusa). |

Thanks mike - no deposit needed - I added you to the list; but I think we should cap the list now; 7 or 8 cars could turn into a fairly long day. See you at 10! |
This Saturday!! :D
|
Yep, and we have California sunshine all week and into the weekend :)
|
Please remember to post results here:D
Good luck guys. |
