Good luck with the Z Sam...

Razz1

Oh man... that was a nice looking White 8.

Is your Z last years model where they updated it with an oil cooler.

If no, you need one because they over heat.

Mr_Pieper

Do you mean this one?

hmm, I don't think it has the oil cooler, although it doesn't seem to be a known issue on the Z forum. I will have to look into that more, thanks for the heads up. I got a 2005 which is pretty much the perfect year Z besides 07+

the 03-04 have known transmission/clutch issues
06 have transmission/oil consumption issues

05 seem to have no issues

tim she wasn't looking good in that picture!

Mr_Pieper

The rumor going around is that you won't overheat while looking all stanced out and whatnot.

^ no rumor, it's true that being stanced actually improves reliability. ask any of the guys that subscribe to hellaflush/just stance on Facebook, they will tell you.

Mr_Pieper

A car that doesn't move will never break down. That's why you need to remove your springs and bump stops. It's the ultimate reliability mod.

^ remove the engine. talk about reliability.

especially in rotaries

Mr_Pieper

Only rotaries can survive the solar flare induced apocalypse on the 21st.

Well... the z is still making progress but I wish I still had my 8. As time has passed I realize I would way rather have the whole driving experience of the RX8 than a little bit of torque.

Mr_Pieper

Psst...You still need rear spacers.

It makes me sad that your 8 is gone. That was a clean looking car. Never was able to get into the 350s. They are too square to me. Not enough curves.

Mr_Pieper

He is sad, too.......I think. Sam likes to post 30 pictures of his car on Facebook and follow it up with a rant about wishing he bought another 8.

that is one clean Z..... but your 8 was damn nice looking too.

Beodude

Hahaha I know how that is. I was super sad when I crashed my first one.

hey thats not your girlfriend...

SamPappas

Haha don't get me wrong the z is still a pretty nice car, I just really wish I had another 8. Once the z is paid off I may take these wheels off and see if I can't get a trade for another 8.

Been a long while since I posted in here. I've been missin the rx8 sooooooo damn much. I wish I had the know how and the resources I do now when I had the 8. It woulda been rad as hell. Anyways, here is how the z is doin.

clean setup...where are the go fast bits???

SamPappas

iTrader: (1)

Nothin too crazy in the go fast department. JWT popcharger, motordyne plenum spacer, megan racing test pipes, and an HKS replica exhaust. This thursday I'm having a custom single resonated setup made with blast pipes. She's more pretty than fast, although z's are already kinda quick

nice cars bro. Doing pretty damn well for a 19 year old I must say. What do you do for work?

SamPappas

iTrader: (1)

I'm 20 now! but I'm a pharmacy technician. It pays ok but over breaks I work full time and pick up side jobs and work any chance I get. I work hard for the stuff I have.
