nah it was a mustang. UP garage

 

here is dyno. Its on the first page of this thread!

 

oh ok,that just seems high for bone stock. but that should be good when you get it dynod again

 

Nah its cool, sorry if my bold text seemed rude, didnt mean it to be lol. Anyway, Imma doing the exhaust now...its a b*tch. Sigh.... X_X



Up later today Ill try to do the 6 cd changer into my wifys car!

 

The biggest PITA will be dealing with the spring bolts. If you have a pair of vice grips then you are good. Dealing with the hangers can be a bit of a pain and remember to cut the exhaust shrouds.

 

makristal and i swapped exhausts today. that was a huge pain but only on the hangers. spring bolts were fine cause i have lots of alternate parts for them now. different bolts, nuts, and spring sizes.

 

Nice...ya I managed to do my wifes but now tomorrow wel....today actually I got to do the rest of the swap. ALSO THE AUTOEXE BARS WHERE A PITA FROM HELL! Not to bad.... just the one that goes on the lower torson bar/lowerin arm of the rear suspension to the wheel. Anyway, idk why im up i gotta be at fort lewis to start work by 9am X_X

 

So Exhaust is on! Auto exe half on! Finish the last trail pieces later this week when i can. Car sounds good.

 

TANKS FOR THE FREE PARKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got car detailed for show tomorrow!!!!

 

Latest and Greatest:

Well, now in Louisiana and boy are RX8's cheap here, I see manual GTs with under 80k going for 8k or less!

So the RX8 is now at over 91k miles!!!! In dire need of a oil change. I just sold the RPF1s for 1400 with tires! And picking up a set of XXR 527's for the DD and a set of Advan RS on evom for the bing!



Hope all of my RX8 lovers in WA are going good!

 

nice man congrats! wanna sell my rpf1 for 1400?? haha

 

Sure no problem bro! BTW, check out www.bookoo.com its like craigslist but better!

I really hope my motor blows before 100k....only 9k to go I want new motor before boost...

 

Temp wheels to roll on. RX8 was down for a month sitting on Jack stands. Now she is rolling the EVO 9 MR BBS wheels!

 

nice!

 

She needs to be lowered sooo bad. SO next mods are this before I return to WA:

Springs or mazdaspeed coil/spring combo
MS skirts
MS Rear Diffuser
ADVAN RS 19x9 +29
Pro Charger from Mazdatrix

 

thats a lot of work to get done man

 

Pro Charger. Why?

 

Because from what I have seen and read it is one of the few systems that uses the whole power band for a smooth full power gain. Also, given the high compression compared to normal old 13B's, I rather go with a supercharged application because of reliability and no worry of boost creep or spike. I would DD my rx8, also seeing how I would only use the real power at track, where the RPMS are high I would have full power there. Also, unlike some other people on the forum. I want my RX8 to respond like factory intended, to be a track monster not a redlight to redlight screamer so I dont mind the fact power is low in low rpms. I also dont like the fact the Pettit, greddy, hymee, and other kits do not utilize the full power ban.

Plus, with Steve Kan just four hours away I will be excited to have my car tuned by him before returning to WA, woot woot.

 

I SCCA autox for the first time in Louisana! Took home first place in STX class! woot woot, reppin NW! Got to go it engraved, first event was cancelled so the date on the card is wrong.

 

Good job!

 

So Rotary started to seem like it was losing power. Took her in @ 97060 miles. Did maintance and compression check...

Results?

100% Pass, same compression as the test I did at 52K and its a little better than the factory rating. So this lead to the fact that my Coils and wires where going out! Misfires after 6500 rpm.

Today I ordered the BHR Igition, I am suppose to have it by Fri. So lets see what she does ^_^.
