What did you do with your RX8 today?
 

As per title

Washed her!

Listened to the air pump.

wound it out twice
threw it into 2 corners
put it away hot
cursed the too close gas pedal

drove to work

picked it up from the Car transport guy. FINALLY.

I um went for a spirited drive in the car I traded my 8 in on. Does that kinda count? o.0

I found my REmedy water pump and thermostat at my front door, mmm... cant wait to install it...

topped off the oil and aired up the tires :boring: but needed

Swapped my wheels for stock wheels in preparation to sell it tomorrow...

wash
dry
cleaned rims and interior
cleaned exhaust
wax

looked at it

I wound her up to the death defying base speed limit of 30mph.

But it was ok, because that still sounds pretty nice in first gear.

Not to mention my Bilstein PSS9s came in the mail today and I couldn't carry them back on my mountain bike. Woot!

I hardparked at a starbucks n' watched people jock my new rims.

:smoker:

Got locked out of it. Was gettign something out of the trunk, key fell inside (without me noticing), closed trunk and VOILA locked outside of it. Fuckkk

Tried to put racing beat springs and sways on. Got rear springs in. Corrored bolts on rear sway will need to be cut off. Then front strut didn't want to come out. Got front sway almost on. Just have one more bracket.

started Fidanza/ACT swap...prep dash for three delfi gauges and consumed some hardy Colorado micro brews.....unfortunately the brews are starting to kick in and I've postponed my ongoing project into the weekend, plans for more CMB's are in the works as time permits.:beer05:

topped off the oil, washed it, went 152mph!! pretty pumped about that my last record was 150 haha

I tried to remove the accordion tube 4 times but I never seem to be able to remove the airbox from the grommets. Ended up wiping the engine compartment...sigh

I drifted it 20 feet on my way into work while i still have bald tires on it. New tires are already here so I want to have fun with dsc off until monday when i put the new ones on.

Went for a beer run with my brother in-law. It was the first time he'd seen it. When we hit 9K RPM, he was like, Woh.

Left it parked and went to Mosport in the GF's van :(

:lol:

Took my primary and secondary injectors out to send them off to be cleaned and benchmarked. What a huge pain it is to get to them...

Finished the throttle body coolant bypass mod and found out that Klasse AIO and Poorboys Nattys White Original looks damn good on VR.

Drove it to work for a change. lol

Drove it :) Now it's off to clean her up a bit for a late night meet.

Chirped my brand new tires with a big fat smile on my face.

Sat in car for 5 mins listening to a throw out bearing going bad. Then trying to decide if i want to change out my clutch now, or wait till fall when it gets cooler.

Installed my REmedy water pump and thermostat yesterday... not today... lol

Did you like ghost ride it into the building :naughty: . oh the days of ghost riding your bike down a hill.

Clay bar > Meguiars Gold Class Clear Coat Wax.....

Watched the cob webs on the tires blowing in the wind... In need of a new clutch it looks like.

stared at it through my window...

drove to work

NOTHING! cuz it got rear ended by a speeding dodge ram 2 weeks after I got it. So its been sitting at the dealership....going on a month.... :( wanna cry..

It took mine a little over 2 months to get repaired... was the other person's fault and they never reported their side of the story so the insurance company couldn't determine who was at fault until 1 month after the incident.

I did nothing with my 8 today. I handed her over to her new owner on Saturday :(

swapped out the race tires, brake pads and rotors with my street set up.
bled the brakes and oil change with Royal Purple (10w-40)
clay bared and waxed with meguairs nxt.

went to visit it at my body shop to see how the Vertex Replica/Acosta Motorsports bumper was coming along.... and get a quote on how much to paint my VERT FC Winning Blue :smoker:....:suspect:

yeah. I ghost ride my 8 to car meets. I let em' know who's boss. . .

lol - i did ghost ride my bike once on a hill..then i tried to ghost ride the abulance after the picked me up off the floor :(

spend the day giving my RX-8 the 'Jedi Zaino Treatment'

- wash
- clay bar
- wash
- cleaned wheels
- Z5
- Z6
- Z5
- Z6
- Z2
- Z6


soooo tired but worth every minute of work

Teach me your ways Jedi at SS13... You should do a "quick" Jedi Zaino Treatment for me :lol2: :icon_tup:

How many times a year does your car get the Jedi Zaino treatment lol. Also any new pics of those T5s :aroused::SHOCKED:

I used to polish my 8 once a month back when it was my daily driver.
monthly zaino would normally just consist of 2 or 3 coats of Z2/Z5. I usually clay bar once a year before SS

WTBRotary: unfortunately there is no such thing as a "quick" zaino treatment

Rotary-RX8: now a days I zaino it 5 or 6 times a year considering I only drive my 8 on the weekends these days.
No new pics but I'm sure we'll get plenty of pics at GreddyFest this coming Sunday. :cool:

Damnn 6 times a year. Thats nuts butt i guess thats what it takes. About the T5s im considering getting them in chrome for my BB. Havent seen too many pics of the chrome on a black car. Im a little worried its gna look too blingy and shiny. I hope its a gun metal chrome.

took out coilovers to re adjust. bolt broke so i left it on stands for the night

Hmm, tried to find someone who is selling their RB exhaust and drove to work. I walked out a few times to admire its sexiness and then drove it home.

did a few boost runs...:ylsuper::smoker::smoker:

:squint:

Tried starting it.....battery died.
