Good luck with the Z Sam...

 

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.

 

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!

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

hey thats not your girlfriend...

 

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???

 

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?

 

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.

 

Good to hear from you Sam
Glad the Z is coming along nicely

 

looks clean man
